Why No Questions on Raghav Chadha When Satyendra Jain is Arrested?
After the arrest of Satyendra Jain in the alleged corruption case linked to the Delhi Jal Board, questions are now being raised about Raghav Chadha as well.
Raghav Chadha has previously served as the Vice Chairman of the same Delhi Jal Board. In such a scenario, the question arises: If corruption took place in the Jal Board and Satyendra Jain is being held responsible for it, why is there no investigation into the role of Raghav Chadha, who was the Vice Chairman of the board at that time?
And now, Chadha's joining the BJP also raises political questions regarding this entire matter.
Was joining the BJP a way for him to escape any legal action?
This is not just a political accusation, but a question whose answer the investigative agencies should provide based on facts and evidence.

The poison spreads! Ethanol kills both ways. In vehicles, it corrodes engines and wealth; in humans, it poisons blood and breath. The tragedy of Bhavnagar is not an accident, but a mirror of systemic failure.

Sugar prices cross Rs 5,000 a quintal; What Is Driving This Sharp Rise?
Sugar is getting noticeably more expensive across Indian markets, and the festive season could make the rise even more important for household budgets.
Lower production, exports and the diversion of sugarcane-based feedstock towards ethanol have all contributed to concerns over availability.
Rainfall is another factor being closely watched. Deficient rainfall in some areas has raised worries about the prospects for the next crop, adding further pressure to prices.
