JP’s arrogance and Bdictatorial sabotage of the central autonomous agencies like the CBI and RBI coupled with its anti- people policies like the demonetisation let the saffron outfit down, Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said, announc- ing “countdown for the end of BJP has begun.” Banerjee who was speaking to a section of the Bengali media in Delhi said the Assembly election results in (Hindi heartland) show that the “beginning of BJP’s end has begun. It is just a matter of time. They have lost the semi-finals. Now they will lose the finals in 2019.” The Bengal Chief Minister who has no love lost for the saffron leadership, particularly Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah said “if you ask me why … I will say arrogance took them down in the elections.” The BJP’s anti-people policies too had a huge impact on its poll prospects in the five States, Banerjee said. “It seemed like India was running through a political emergency, eco- nomic emergency, institutional emergency (leading to near destruction of autonomous agencies) with the youth losing jobs in hordes, and farmers committing suicide. All the insti- tutions were attacked. Even the Constitution was not was not spared,” Banerjee said adding how “farmers, workers, youth, Scheduled castes, minorities and other sections of the soci- ety were unhappy with the BJP.” For the past several years India has been passing through a phase of fear the Chief Minister said adding how “those who dared to speak up against the BJP Government were browbeaten to silence. People, even the journalists who spoke against them had to lose their jobs, such was the atmosphere of fear in the country..” After Tuesday the situation was such that the BJP had no presence in South India, it had a trifle presence in the North East, “in the East it is not there which you will see when people go to polls in Bihar where Laloo ji’s party will take the upper hand. In the North they are on their way out, in the West they are finished. In Goa they will go any day and if today there is an election in Maharashtra they will lose by huge margins,” Banerjee said. Speaking once again in favour of a grand alliance of the regional parties Banerjee said “I am still of the view that the regional parties should be given their due respect consid- ering the idea of federalism.” %# ! $#' )"%*+,+-*. @ / '+ !$$"/ !, , ; :" ; ; (( /9( !R ( . $ " #& ,, O 4 5 8 , # * ( ( " # , , 011 8 , 1 # ( he latest rock on the pyramid 1 , O / of reservations is the Marathas $ 2 !

IANS Launched in September well as improve our under- standing of asteroids that could impact Earth. Spectral observations made by the spacecraft's two spec- trometers, the OSIRIS-REx Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (OVIRS) and the OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES) revealed the presence of mol- ecules that contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms bonded together, known as "hydroxyls". These hydroxyl groups exist globally across the aster- oid in water-bearing clay min- erals, meaning that at some point Bennu's rocky material interacted with water. While Bennu itself is too small to have ever hosted liq- uid water, the finding does indicate that liquid water was present at some time on Bennu's parent body, a much larger asteroid, NASA said in a statement on Monday. "The presence of hydrated minerals across the asteroid confirms that Bennu, a rem- nant from early in the forma- tion of the solar system, is an excellent specimen for the OSIRIS-REx mission to study the composition of primitive volatiles and organics," said Amy Simon from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
