Odisha govt run by billionaires, says Rahul
Bhubaneswar: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused the BJP government in Odisha of handing over the State's land, water, forests and other resources to a handful of billionaires. Addressing the party's 'Samvidhan Bachao Samavesh' at Baramunda Ground here, Rahul, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, said the current government does not belong to the people, but to industrialists like Adani and a few other billionaires who, he claimed, are now running the State government. Rahul claimed that it was evident Adani is running the BJP government in Odisha citing the instance of when Lord Jagannath's chariot was allegedly stopped during the Puri Rath Yatra for the Adani family. 'Jal, Jangal, Jamin' belong to the tribals and will remain for them, Rahul said, adding that Odisha's BJP government has "not implemented" the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996.

Tribal lands being looted under ‘pro-corporate' policies: Dipankar
'Today, the looting of Adivasi land in the country has become an organised process. Governments are undermining legal protections like CNT-SPT under pro-corporate policies,' he said addressing the two-day national council meeting of the Adivasi Sangharsh Morcha (ASM) here. He said that the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation would continue its struggle to protect 'Jal, Jungle, Jamin' (water, forest, land) of tribals. Ranchi, Jun 8 (PTI) CPI (ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya on Sunday alleged the tribal lands are being looted in the country under 'pro-corporate' policies. He alleged the plunder of minerals and encroachment on forest areas are being justified in the name of development. 'Those who raise their voices against this loot face repression, arrests or false cases. Birsa Munda taught us that where there is oppression, rebellion will erupt. We must move forward with this spirit,' he added. Clifton, ASM in-charge and CPI (ML) Central Committee member, said that representatives from across the country are sharing their experiences in the two-day meeting.

Massive power outage disrupts Cannes Film Festival
A power cut in south-eastern France has temporarily disrupted screenings on the final day of the Cannes Film Festival. About 160,000 homes in the city of Cannes and surrounding municipalities lost power on Saturday, France's electricity operator RTE said. Police are investigating a possible arson attack as being the main cause of the incident. Organisers of the international film festival say the closing ceremony will go ahead as planned as they have an alternative power supply. The power cut affected 160,000 homes in the Alpes-Maritimes area. Supply was restored by 15:00 local time (11:00 GMT) , according to RTE. In Cannes, shops and restaurants struggled to operate during the cut. "Another hour and I'll throw everything away," Laurent Aboukrat, who owns Canne's Jamin restaurant, told AFP news agency. He said his fridges had been off since the morning "Cannes is in a total slowdown, meltdown, there's no coffee anywhere, and I think the town has run out of croissants, so this is like crisis territory," Australian producer Darren Vukasinovic told Reuters news agency. Police are investigating a possible arson attack of a power substation. "We are looking into the likelihood of a fire being started deliberately," a spokesperson for the gendarmerie told Reuters. Saturday is the last day of the Cannes Film Festival. French actress Juliette Binoche and her jury are set to announce the winner of the Palme d'Or - the highest prize awarded at the festival. Several screenings were interrupted by the cut in the morning, before organisers were able to switch to private generators.
