Cong OBC council flags underrepresentation of backward communities in bureaucracy, media
The council also lauded Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for championing the cause of OBCs and consistently raising issues affecting the community. The meeting, held under the chairmanship of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, discussed a range of issues related to the upliftment of deprived and marginalised communities. Bengaluru, Jul 15 (PTI) The Congress party's OBC Advisory Council Meet on Tuesday Tuesday expressed concern over the continued underrepresentation of backward communities in key sectors such as the bureaucracy, media, and corporate world. 'Congress party, our president Mallikarjun Kharge and our Nyaya Yoddha Rahul Gandhi are fighting for the deprived sections of our society,' the Congress OBC department head Anil Jaihind told reporters after the meeting. He said, 'It's a tragedy that 90 per cent of our Indian population of OBC, SC and ST are being marginalised. They are not in bureaucracy, media and in the capital world. These things are repeatedly highlighted by our Nyaya Yoddya Rahul Gandhi.' The Congress' OBC advisory council was recently formed and Jaihind is its convener for being the chairman of the OBC department of the Congress. Speaking on the occasion, Siddaramaiah said, 'I am making it very clear that the BJP was never in favour of social justice and reservations and they are never in favour of inclusive development of the population of this country.' He further said there is inequality among the people across India and whenever the Congress brings programmes for social justice, reservation and equality for the deprived communities, the BJP has a history of opposing it. In the keynote address during the OBC meeting, which was shared with media, the CM highlighted the role of Congress in strengthening democracy. 'At this crucial juncture in our nation's journey, when the forces of division and sectarianist privileged classes are sharpening their knives against the principles of equality and fraternity, it becomes our duty to strengthen the foundation of social democracy in India,' he said. Siddaramaiah underscored that this was not a fight for reservation to Backward Classes alone but for recognition, dignity, and power of these classes.

India's office leasing jumps 40 pc in H1 2025, new supply jumps 25 pc: Report
New Delhi: India's commercial real estate market witnessed strong growth in the first half of 2025, with net office leasing across the top seven cities rising by 40 per cent year-on-year (YoY), a new report said on Thursday. According to data compiled by Anarock Research, net office absorption grew from around 19.08 million sq. ft. in H1 2024 to approximately 26.8 million sq. ft. in H1 2025. New office supply also increased by 25 per cent during the same period, reaching nearly 24.51 million sq. ft. Experts say the strong office market performance reflects India's steady economic growth and its rising global profile as a business destination. Peush Jain, Managing Director, Commercial Leasing & Advisory at Anarock Group, said the country continues to attract large-scale office leasing by global capability centres (GCCs) and US-based corporates. He also noted that India's economic stability stands in contrast to policy uncertainty in the US, making it an increasingly attractive destination for long-term investments. Bengaluru led the leasing activity with around 6.55 million sq. ft. of office space absorbed in H1 2025 -- a 64 per cent increase compared to 4 million sq. ft. in the same period previous year. Pune stood out with the highest annual growth in net absorption, soaring by 188 per cent to 3.8 million sq. ft., up from 1.32 million sq. ft. the previous year. Kolkata, however, was the only city among the top seven to see a decline in leasing, dropping 51 per cent to just 0.45 million sq. ft. In terms of new office space completions, Bengaluru again took the lead by adding approximately 6.91 million sq. ft. in H1 2025, a 26 per cent rise from the previous year. Pune posted an exceptional 533 per cent jump in new supply, going from just 0.9 million sq. ft. in H1 2024 to over 5.7 million sq. ft. this year, the report stated. Sector-wise, the IT/ITeS sector continued to drive demand, accounting for 29 per cent of overall office leasing. This was followed by the coworking sector at 22 per cent and BFSI at 18 per cent.
