'Narender surrendered to Adani, China': Congress ups ante with fresh jibe at PM
The Congress on Thursday upped the ante with its " Narender-surrender " jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi , alleging that he "surrendered" before billionaire Gautam Adani as well as to China. There was no immediate response from the government or the Adani Group over the Congress's accusations but the business conglomerate has, in the past, rejected all such allegations against it. Congress leader Ajoy Kumar said the duo of Adani and Modi has left behind the Jai-Veeru duo from the film "Sholay". "The process of Narendra Modi's surrender before (US President Donald) Trump has happened after many years of practice," Kumar said at a press conference at the Indira Bhawan, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters here. "Wherever Narendra Modi goes or whatever Adani wants -- he gets the contract.... The diplomatic moves of India's prime minister have helped industrialist Mr A to expand his international business interests in ports, airports, electricity, coal mining and weapons," the Congress leader claimed and cited examples from various countries. Live Events "Narenderji has hurt his country's relations with her neighbours as well as with other countries by brazenly promoting Mr A's ambitions. The growth of the Mr A Group outside India over the past decade or so has been closely aligned with the diplomatic efforts of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he alleged. Many of "Mr A's" international deals were struck soon after Modi's official visits to certain countries or after heads of government visited India, Kumar claimed. Alleging that Modi had also "surrendered" before China, he said "Narender-Surrender" must apologise to the country for his "clean chit" to the neighbouring country on its invasion of Indian territory in 2020. Kumar claimed that China has vowed to stand by Pakistan in defending its "sovereignty" and "territorial integrity", and called it its "iron-clad friend". "China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, recently gave a statement that his country would continue to stand by Pakistan in upholding its sovereignty, territorial integrity and national independence. China has supplied arms worth over USD 20 billion to Pakistan," Kumar claimed. The Congress had said on Wednesday that it is wrong to think that "Narendra Modi is India and India is Narendra Modi", as it slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its criticism of Rahul Gandhi over his dig at the prime minister, and doubled down on the "Narender-surrender" jibe. Gandhi had said in Bhopal on Tuesday that "as soon as Trump signalled from there, picked up the phone and said, 'what are you doing Modiji? Narender, surrender'.... And Modiji obeyed Trump's orders with Ji Huzoor'". Urging people to remember 1971, Gandhi said back then, a phone call had not come but the United States had sent its 7th fleet, weapons and an aircraft carrier, but prime minister Indira Gandhi did not surrender and said she would go by national interest. Referring to the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Gandhi said they are habituated to writing "surrender letters" since Independence. The BJP has accused Gandhi of insulting the armed forces with his "surrender" barb at Modi, saying it amounted to undermining the success of Operation Sindoor. BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said the Congress leader has surpassed even Pakistan's army chief, prime minister and the terror masterminds based there in speaking in support of the neighbouring country, and alleged that his jibes reflect a sick and dangerous mindset.

Are you saving enough for retirement? Many aren't
HighlightsThe survey conducted by Grant Thornton Bharat revealed that nearly 83 percent of participants primarily rely on three retirement products: Employees' Provident Fund, gratuity, and National Pension System, indicating a lack of diversification in retirement portfolios. While over half (55%) of respondents expect a monthly pension exceeding Rs 1 lakh, only 11% believe their current investments are adequate to meet these expectations, highlighting a significant preparedness gap in retirement planning. A notable 74 percent of respondents contribute between 1 percent and 15 percent of their salary towards retirement plans, suggesting a cautious approach to savings that may be influenced by financial constraints or competing priorities. Higher earners contribute more to retirement products , but the overall contribution is still relatively low for most individuals, suggesting that many people may not be saving enough for retirement, a survey showed on Wednesday. Nearly 83 per cent of participants relied largely on three retirement products: EPF, gratuity, and NPS. 'This reliance on traditional schemes suggests limited diversification in retirement portfolios ,' said the survey conducted by consulting firm Grant Thornton Bharat. The results showed that more than half (55 per cent) of respondents expect a monthly pension exceeding Rs 1 lakh. However, only 11 per cent believe their current investments are sufficient to meet these expectations. 'This stark disparity highlights a significant preparedness gap that needs to be addressed through better financial planning and awareness,' said the report, the survey for which was conducted by the consulting firm in Aug and Sept last year. Govt-backed plans remain the most preferred option, with 39 per cent of participants favouring such schemes. About 27 per cent of respondents showed a preference for private plans offered by reputable financial institutions. High-risk, high-return plans were particularly popular among younger respondents, with 31 per cent of participants under 25 years interested in these options. 'This finding suggests a growing appetite for risk among the younger demographic,' said the report. With regard to the age of retirement, about 56 per cent of respondents said they plan to retire between the age of 55 and 65. 'This age range aligns with standard retirement practices in India and reflects the broader societal norms regarding work and retirement in the country,' according to the report. Younger respondents, particularly those who were 25 years or below, preferred early retirement. Among this group, 43 per cent showed a preference to retire between 45-55 years. 'Trend indicates shift in attitudes among younger employees, who may prioritise work-life balance & leisure over extended career spans,' said the report. The majority, 74 per cent of respondents, said that they contribute between 1 per cent and 15 per cent of their salary toward retirement plans. 'This contribution range indicates a cautious approach to savings, possibly influenced by financial constraints or competing priorities,' said the report. Asked to respond about their knowledge of pension calculations, 52 per cent of respondents said they were somewhat aware of how their pensions are determined, while 30% admitted to being completely unaware.
