enior Bengal Congress Sleader and All India Congress Committee member Om Prakash Mishra on Wednesday joined the Trinamool Congress follow- ing differences with the party over its future system of alliances. Mishra, a veteran Congress man, who used to profess a strong pro-Left line inside the Congress on Wednesday met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and offered to join the TMC. About the reasons of his quitting the Congress the senior professor in the Jadavpur University said “I have joined the TMC as I feel that only this party under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee can fight the BJP and the RSS in West Bengal,” Mishra said. He had resigned as the Congress State vice president following the party’s dismal performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The Congress’ tally came down to two from four it had in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Meanwhile, in an unusual development Congress and the Left parties have decided to rally behind die-hard enemy Trinamool Congress against bringing National Register for Citizens to Bengal. Both Congress and the Left have decided to back the TMC in raising the NRC issue a senior Trinamool leader and Minister said. Incidentally the TMC ear- lier backed a resolution on the issue brought by CPI(M) Legislature Party Leader Sujan Chakrabarty inthe State Assembly. Senior TMC leader and Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay backed Chakrabarty when he brought the issue againstBJP’s propos- al to bring NRC in Bengal.    !"#$%   1 1 '%%$1!

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday stayed proceedings against BSR and Associates LLP, former auditor of IL&FS Financial Services, before the National Company Law Tribunal. BSR had moved the court challenging the validity of the central government’s plea before the NCLT seeking a ban on the audit firm for five years under the Companies Act, 2013. The government has sought ban on BSR for its role in alleged financial irregularities at the crisis-hit IL&FS Group. The NCLT was scheduled to begin hearing the plea on September 5.
