Guwahati (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday released a 20-point ‘charge sheet’ against the BJP-led Assam government in Guwahati, which accused the state administration of indulging in corruption and using its machinery to instil fear among minorities.

The Congress alleged that the BJP government failed to keep its assurances of granting ST status to six indigenous communities and increasing the daily wage of tea garden workers to Rs 351 during its decade-long regime.
Vadra, chairperson of the party’s candidate screening committee for the Assam polls, is on a two-day visit to the state.
The Congress also charged the BJP-led government with "rampant corruption".
The party accused Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, his close ministers and their family members of "accumulating wealth illegally".

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.

The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
