NATIONAL
During this past week the election for the Indian President was conducted. The voting was on 17 July for which over 99% polling was recorded. The votes were counted on 20 July.
Ram Nath Kovind, current Bihar Governer was elected as the president with over 66% of the total votes. He was up against Meira Kumar, former speaker of the Lok Sabha. He will swear in as the 14th President of India on 25 July.
The Government is selling it’s 51.11% stake in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited to ONGC. This is one step closer to an Integrated Indian Oil company of global size. What next, BPCL to merge into IOCL?
