Brent Crude 110 डॉलर के करीब, एयरलाइंस, ओएमसी, पेंट और टायर कंपनियों के शेयर गिरे
SUMMARY
# कच्चे तेल की बढ़ती कीमतों से बाजार में हलचल
ब्रेंट क्रूड ऑयल की कीमत 110 डॉलर प्रति बैरल के करीब पहुंच गई, जिससे भारतीय शेयर बाजार में तेल पर निर्भर सेक्टरों में भारी गिरावट देखी गई। एयरलाइंस कंपनियों जैसे इंडिगो, स्पाइसजेट के शेयर गिरे क्योंकि ईंधन खर्च बढ़ने से मुनाफे पर दबाव बढ़ता है। ऑयल मार्केटिंग कंपनियां (ओएमसी) जैसे IOC, BPCL, HPCL प्रभावित हुईं क्योंकि सरकार पेट्रोल-डीजल की कीमतें नहीं बढ़ा रही, जिससे अंडर-रिकवरी बढ़ी। पेंट कंपनियों (एशियन पेंट्स, बर्जर) और टायर कंपनियों (MRF, अपोलो) के शेयर भी गिरे क्योंकि कच्चा तेल इनका प्रमुख कच्चा माल है। महंगे तेल से इनकी उत्पादन लागत बढ़ती है और मार्जिन घटता है।

Analysts flagged higher debt levels and rising input costs as key concerns impacting future margins, prompting multiple brokerages to revise their target prices downward, further accelerating the sell-off.

'चुनाव आने पर तानाशाही को उड़ा देंगे', अखिलेश यादव ने कहा, आरक्षण के खिलाफ है बीजेपी
SUMMARY
समाजवादी पार्टी प्रमुख अखिलेश यादव ने भाजपा पर आरक्षण के मुद्दे को लेकर निशाना साधा। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि भाजपा आरक्षण व्यवस्था के खिलाफ है और चुनाव आने पर जनता तानाशाही के खिलाफ जवाब देगी। यादव ने लोकतंत्र, सामाजिक न्याय और आरक्षण को लेकर अपनी पार्टी की प्रतिबद्धता दोहराई। उन्होंने कहा कि पिछड़े, दलित और वंचित वर्गों के अधिकारों की रक्षा जरूरी है। यह बयान ऐसे समय आया है जब देश में आरक्षण, सामाजिक न्याय और चुनावी राजनीति से जुड़े मुद्दे लगातार चर्चा में हैं। हालांकि, भाजपा की नीतियों और आरक्षण को लेकर यादव के आरोप राजनीतिक बयान हैं, जिन पर दोनों दलों के बीच मतभेद बने हुए हैं।

Ladakh won't receive statehood but will get a unique elected body to address governance demands. Chief Secretary confirmed this special arrangement aims to empower locals with legislative powers while maintaining Union Territory status. This comes after prolonged protests led by Sonam Wangchuk and others demanding statehood, Sixth Schedule inclusion, and constitutional safeguards for Ladakh's tribal population.
