BJP on Saturday sharpened its attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, with Union Minister Anurag Thakur describing him as the "kingpin" of the "liquor scam" in the capital.

. The makers of tablet Dolo-650 have been accused for distributing freebies of around Rs 1,000 crore to doctors as consideration for prescribing the tablet.

. The BJP government in Gujarat has for the current financial year given exemption from professional tax to salaried persons earning up to Rs 12,000 per month. The state coffers will lose Rs 108 crore annually. It has given Rs 1,250 crore interest relief to farmers. The government will also offer financial support of Rs 40,000 to students to purchase laptops for online education.

. With the number of pending cases nearing the 5-crore mark, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said if a judge disposes of 50 cases, 100 new litigations are filed as people are more aware now and approach courts to settle disputes.

. A day after the CBI raided his residence, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday claimed that the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be a battle between Arvind Kejriwal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi who, he alleged, was using all means to scare the AAP supremo.
