Maha scramble over portfolios

A day after Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CMs Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar were sworn in, the Maha Yuti alliance in Maharashtra faces the challenge of ministerial portfolio allocations, which has turned out to be a tightrope walk for the allies.

Shiv Sena leader and MLA Sanjay Shirsat said everyone wants to be sworn in as a minister but the berths are limited. The alliance has the support of 232 MLAs but can induct only 43 ministers. "So, who should be sworn in? This is a big question. In the last government, many of them missed the opportunity and now they are expecting ministries. We are hopeful that the party leadership will take an appropriate decision that will be acceptable to all," said Shirsat who is an aspirant for a ministerial post.

US visa fee hikes not to have material impact on domestic IT cos: Moody’s

NEW US visa fee hikes will not have any material impact on the domestic IT companies as the incremental cost of nearly $250 million is just about 1% of the top four firms’ annual revenue, so they will remain resilient on the back of strong profitability and a structural talent gap in the US, which will help offset the new financial pressure.
