Tamil Nadu BJP is trying to pull Thala Ajith

The Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP seems to be trying its best to rope in film stars to revive its fortunes in the state. After unsuccessfully wooing Rajinikanth, it has now reportedly set his eyes on Ajith.

There are rumours that Ajith has got an offer to join the BJP. The party leaders are reportedly trying hard to convince Thala, who has always stayed away from politics, to take the plunge by joining the right-wing party.

Leaders of the saffron party approached Ajith considering his popularity among the youths and in order to lay a strong foundation in Tamil Nadu. Some unconfirmed reports say the "Vedalam" star will meet Narendra Modi soon and formally join the party. But there is no confirmation from both sides.

However, the news has come as a surprise to Ajith's fans, and many have refused to believe their icon would enter politics and join the BJP. It is because the actor has not only showed disinterest towards politics in the past but also ensured he is not used by any political party in the state.

It was evident from Ajith disbanding his fan association a few years after some factions within it aligned with a political party without his consent. His message was loud and clear: He is not interested in politics.

The state BJP unit had wanted Tamil superstar Rajinikanth to join the party, but the actor turned down their request. It may also be recalled that Ilayathalapathy Vijay had met Narendra Modi during his election campaign in 2014, giving rise to rumours that the actor was joining the saffron party.

Politics and cinema have always gone hand-in-hand in Tamil Nadu, and it is not surprising that the state has witnessed a few chief ministers who were associated with the film industry.

RBI has just turned your smartphone into a bank, How to use UPI app

Reserve Bank of India have just launched a Unified Payments Interface (UPI) — a mega app that will sit on your smart phone once you have downloaded it and dramatically reduce the cost and time taken for making simple payments. What's more, you can use this app to pay for any transaction below Rs 1 lakh, even something as low as Rs 50.
The biggest impact of this app will be on third-party payments. Today, if you want to pay someone, you need to add him or her as a beneficiary. You need the IFSC code and bank account number and branch etc. The UPI app does away with all this. All you need is the receiver's unique ID. Open the UPI app, select the amount to be paid, add the unique ID of the beneficiary and select 'send'. The app will ask for a mobile pin to authenticate the payment after which it is done.

Remittances will also become easier and the same process applies here as well. Cash on delivery, the big driver behind the ecommerce boom, will probably die a natural death for people with smartphones. They can use the UPI app to pay after receiving the goods. All they need to know is the unique ID of the ecommerce firm. The buyer can also scan a QR code that the delivery boy carries through his UPI app or pay directly to the unique ID of the delivery boy.

How can a customer use UPI
1. He will need to have a bank account and a smart phone.
2. Download the UPI app of a bank from PlayStore
3. Connect the bank account
4. Create a Unique ID
5. Generate a mobile pin
6. Also link Aadhaar number

Only 10 banks are part of this now but others are expected to join. Another big feature of UPI is that you can use any bank's systems to transfer money or make payments. You don't need an account with that specific bank to be able to use its UPI app. All you need to do is to download that bank's UPI app, register yourself and make the payment.

AIADMK and DMK fooling people with smart politics

BJP on Sunday accused the ruling AIADMK government and DMK of doing "petty politics", saying both the Dravidian parties presented "corruption full bad governance" and were fooling people while Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presented "corruption free good governance."

"Modiji has presented corruption free good governance but AIADMK and DMK has presented in Tamil Nadu, a corruption full bad governance. They are doing petty politics and fooling voters," Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar told reporters in Chennai.

"AIADMK and DMK are playing smart politics, smart games here," he said.
Flaying the AIADMK government for allegedly pasting 'amma' stickers on a centrally sponsored scheme, Javadekar, also BJP election in-charge for Tamil Nadu, said, "in giving free rice to poor, 90 per cent is central government subsidy. Ten percent is what state government gives. But they are putting label and calling it as Amma Free Arisi (Rice) scheme. What we are saying at least call it as Pradhan Mantri Arisi."

"Poor people get Amma Arisi free of cost that is 20 kilos under free rice scheme. What is the proof of Amma free Arisi? ...Central government gives Rs 32 where as Amma (Jayalalithaa) gives Rs three and that is labelled and stickers are pasted as Amma Arisi (rice)..This kind of politics they are playing."

"It is not Amma Arisi. It is Modi Arisi. We can say it as Pradhan Mantri Arisi. We are not fond of names. But who is giving what and it must be named together...they are fooling people," Javadekar said.
Claiming that coconut growers in Tamil Nadu were not given government subsidy, he said, "I met coconut growers here and they are suffering...They are not given any subsidy. They are not allowed to tap coconut for making herbal drink."

"Government does not want poor to take healthy drink but only TASMAC (state run liquor outlets) liquor. That is what they are interested in because it is their business," he charged.
For importing palmolein from Malaysia, Javadekar claimed the state government was giving subsidy to Malaysian farmers.

"...You are not helping your own farmers. Why cannot you give subsidy on coconut oil. If you give subsidy on coconut oil, poor farmers growing coconut will survive and poor person will be happy to use coconut oil than palmolein for cooking."

"So you get votes from Malaysia not from Tamil Nadu farmers," he said.
