NCP backs alliance Lucknow (PNS): The Uttar Pradesh unit of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has extend- ed support to the grand alliance of Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal. In a letter to RLD vice-president Jayant Chaudhary, NCP state president Ramesh Dixit said the decision to support the alliance was taken with the consent of NCP chief Sharad Pawar. AAP leaders deserting party Lucknow (PNS): Even as the campaigning for Lok Sabha elec- tion is gathering momentum, local leaders of Aaam Aadmi Party are deserting the outfit as their awe for their charismatic leader Arvind Kejriwal appears to be over. Some AAP leaders however chose to downplay the ‘exodus’ saying that some leaders resigned on person- al grounds. REQUIRED Recently, AAP leader Gaurav Maheswari joined the BJP, Similarly, president of Purvanchal zone, Sanjeev Singh, resigned from his post a week back. “Sanjeev Singh resigned due to some per- sonal compulsions and the party accepted his resignation,” AAP spokesman Mahendra Singh said. Singh said that AAP workers were campaigning for party candi- dates with full vigor. “We have fielded seven candidates in UP and the names of other candidates will be announced shortly. We have also issued a list of star campaigners,” he said. An AAP leader said the party was yet to form its state com- mittee in UP despite being in exis- tence for six years.

Sooner or later, nemesis must come and do what it must movements, either continuation or reversal of the existing pat- tern of stock price movement. The theory behind chart patterns is that history repeats itself and certain patterns consistently reappear and tend to produce the same outcomes.
