IRDAI) is most likely to give the go-ahead to IndusInd International Holdings Limited's acquisition of Reliance Capital's three insurance companies within a couple of weeks, said people aware of the development. The insurance regulator believes Reliance Capital is a major non-banking financial company going through bankruptcy proceedings, which need to be closed within the time frame prescribed by the court, they said. Last week, the committee of creditors had asked IndusInd International Holdings (IIHL) to conclude the process by the May 27 deadline. However, IIHL had informed lenders that without the IRDAI's approval, it would not be able to conclude the transaction. On February 27, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) gave its nod to IIHL's resolution plan worth ₹9,650 crore for Reliance Capital, formerly under the control of Anil Ambani. The NCLT directed IIHL to close the deal within a 90-day period.

Amit Shah on Wednesday said the Bharatiya Janata Party will never do away with reservations for Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Class, nor will it allow the Congress to do so. Congress' tactic was to lie repeatedly, he alleged, and advised its president Mallikarjun Kharge not to speak lies for the sake of the «family» (referring to Nehru-Gandhi family) as eventually he would be blamed for its loss in the Lok Sabha elections. Speaking at a rally at Katghora town in Chhattisgarh in support of Saroj Pandey, the BJP candidate from the Korba constituency, Shah accused Congress of nurturing terrorism and Naxalism to win elections. «Congress has one formula — speak lies loudly, publicly and keep repeating them. They say if (prime minister Narendra) Modi gets majority for the third term, he will scrap reservations. They circulated my fake video. We have been in power for ten years, Modi did not remove reservations, nor will he ever do it,» the BJP leader said. The PM used his majority in Parliament to scrap Article 370 and ban triple talaq, construct the Ram temple in Ayodhya and introduce the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, he said. «I have come to give you Modi's guarantee that as long as there is even one BJP MP in Parliament, we will neither remove the reservation for STs, SCs and OBCs, nor will we allow the Congress party to do so,» the Union minister added.
