Consequently, any potential downward revisions in earnings forecasts could pose a risk of corrections in the market over the next 2-3 quarters,» he warns in an interview to ET Markets. Edited excerpts from a chat: Following a correction in February and March months, smallcaps bounced back with a bang in April. Isn't this leg of rally largely led by retail liquidity?

Kolhapur is one of a few seats in Maharashtra that Congress is confident of bagging in this election. BJP's decision to backtrack from claiming this seat from Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena too indicates that the going will not be easy for NDA this time. In the runup to the polls, BJP was pressurising Sena to hand over this seat in western Maharashtra to it. Shinde resisted the pressure as the Sena had a sitting MP, Sadashiv Mandlik. Yet BJP was relentless in seeking the seat, but then gave up the claim, the reason for which probably was the candidate Congress has fielded. Congress has managed to convince Shahu II Chhatrapati Maharaj, a descendant of Maratha warrior king Shivaji, to contest the polls. More importantly, he is the great grandson of Rajarshi Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, a maharaja of the former princely state Kolhapur and a well-known social reformer. During his rule, he had encouraged Dalit children to study and provided 50% reservation for them, as well as offered scholarships for poor meritorious students from the community. He established schools for women and legalised widow remarriage and worked to abolish child marriage. Within a day of Congress announcing Shahu Maharaj as its candidate, Prakash Ambedkar's VBA, which was making its own plans to contest separately, announced it would support his candidature.

Korba (Chhattisgarh): «Water is our biggest problem,» says Shivratan Singh, a resident of Lad village, about 65 km from Korba, which is India's biggest coal and power producing town in mineral-rich Chhattisgarh. Singh points to the water tank on the side of the road and says it had been constructed under Jal Jeevan Mission about a year back and taps also installed. «But they forgot to give us connections.» Just about a kilometre away is a dry pond. Villagers laugh when they point towards it. «We have never had water in this,» they say speaking about this pond which was dug under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). They complain about hefty electricity bills, unpaid MGNREGA wages and of remaining uncovered under the PM Awas Yojana. Brij Lal, a resident of Chhindwarpara village in the same block, says development schemes have never reached them. But what has excited them the most in this election is Congress' Mahalakshmi scheme which promises ₹1 lakh per year to women of every poor family. Listed as one of the aspirational districts by NITI Aayog, Korba is a study of contrasts.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took dynastic politics head-on and said that much like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who abolished evil practices like sati and child-marriage, he too 'has put an end to the practice of only scions of royal families' holding the posts of chief minister and prime minister, paving the way for any poor man's son to hold these posts. Modi's address in Etawah was also meant to send a message to voters of Mainpuri and Kannauj, with BJP candidates of all three seats present on stage. While Mainpuri has been Mulayam Singh Yadav's Lok Sabha seat, now being contested by daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav, Kannauj is being contested by Akhilesh Yadav. Modi recalled Mulayam Singh's «blessing» to him in Parliament before the 2019 elections when he had said that he hoped that Modi would come back as PM for a second term. «Today, Netaji is not there among us, but look at the coincidence, his brother is appealing to make BJP win. He expressed his heart's desire after all,» Modi said, taking a jibe at Shivpal Yadav's gaffe a few days ago when, in a statement, instead of mentioning SP, he asked people to vote for 'BJP'.
