Rajapaksa, who arrived in India on Friday on his first overseas tour after being appointed as Sri Lankan prime minister in November last year, had visited Varanasi, Sarnath and Bodh Gaya after his engagements in New Delhi.

New Delhi, Feb 11 (IA NS): The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday gave a clean chit to former CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana and R&AW Chief Samant Goel in a bribery case registered by the agency in 2018.
The CBI has chargesheeted Dubai-based private person Manoj Prasad, whom it had earlier arrested. The CBI also found the call details between Prasad and complainant Sathish Sana Babu.
The investigating agency has moved an application in the court contending that further probe against his brother, Somesh and Sunil Mittal, is required. According to the CBI officials, there is “no evidence” that shows Asthana ever demanded or paid any bribe to save complainant Babu in the money laundering case related to the controversial meat exporter Moin Qureshi. The CBI also concluded that there was no connection between Asthana and Prasad. The CBI also stated that “there was no role of any public servant” in the discussion Babu had with Prasad. CBI Director Rishi Kumar Shukla agreed with Investigating Officer Satish Dagar and four others in the hierarchy that “no case” was made out against public servants, including Asthana.
Asthana was booked on the allegations of criminal conspiracy, corruption and criminal misconduct under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act (PC Act) on a complaint filed by Hyderabad-based businessman Sathish Babu Sana. Asthana had strongly refuted the charges.
The CBI on October 15, 2018, had registered an FIR against Asthana for allegedly taking a bribe from an accused probed by him in return for ensuring relief and a clean chit in the case. The case against Asthana was lodged after Hyderabad-based businessman Sana in his complaint to the CBI had alleged that he paid a bribe of Rs 2 crore to Asthana to be spared of any action in an investigation linked to meat exporter Moin Qureshi.

Babulal Marandi to merge his party with BJP
Ran chi, Feb 11 (IA NS): Former Chief Minister and president of the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (JVM-P), Babulal Marandi on Tuesday announced merger of his party with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“The executive body of the party unanimously decided to merge the party with the BJP. It will be in the interest of the state,” said Marandi, while announcing merger of the JVM-P with the BJP.
He said: “The formal merger will take place in a programme at the Prabhat Tara ground of Ranchi on February 17. BJP national president J.P. Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah will participate in the merger programme.”
Earlier, the JVM-P executive committee meeting took place here. Marandi moved the proposal for merger, which was passed unanimously.
Asked about his future role in the BJP, he said: “I will fulfil all the responsibilities which will be given to me”.
Marandi is likely to be elected as the Legislative party leader of the BJP after the merger as the BJP is yet to elect it’s legislative party leader. It is believed that the post is lying vacant for Marandi.
The merger will take place in a grand way in presence of the Amit Shah and senior BJP leaders. By getting Marandi back into the party, the BJP is aiming to revive the party among the tribal community.
The first non-tribal Chief Minister Raghubar Das failed to find a favour with the tribal community and the BJP lost majorly in the tribal seats in the 2019 Assembly poll, thereby losing the state. To effect the merger smoothly, the JVM-P expelled it’s two Legislators Pradeep Yadav and Bandhu Tirkey, who were openly opposing the merger.
Mandar MLA Bandhu Tirkey was expelled in January and Yadav on February 6 after being blamed for making anti-party statements.
In the 2019 Assembly elections, the JVM-P won three seats, including Babulal Marandi, Pradeep Yadav and Bandhu Tirkey.
The merger was conceived soon after the JVM-P and the BJP were trounced in the Assembly poll, party sources said.
Marandi was the first Chief Minister of the BJP-led government in Jharkhand. He, however, quit the BJP in 2006 and floated Chief Minister and president of the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha.
