Since the announcement of the panchayat polling dates on June 8, a total of 25 election-related deaths have been recorded. The State Election Commissioner, Rajiva Sinha, was notably absent from his office during the start of voting, prompting significant criticism. After facing substantial backlash, he eventually arrived at his office in Kolkata after 10:20 a.m. without addressing media inquiries.

Instances of widespread ballot box and ballot paper looting, as well as destruction, were reported, particularly in Murshidabad and Cooch Behar districts. In many locations, the absence of central armed forces personnel at polling booths allowed criminal activities to continue unchecked, while state police and polling staff remained passive spectators. The state Election Commission and the police have yet to comment on the violence.

5G smartphone shipments cross 10 cr in India for 1st time

First time in India that 5G smartphone shipments surpass $10 billion

According to market intelligence firm CyberMedia Research (CMR), 5G smartphone shipments in India surpassed 100 million in May, setting a record as the country’s 5G roll-out continues at a rapid pace. The data reveals that 5G smartphone shipments have grown more than 28 times since their initial introduction. In May, 5G smartphones accounted for 48% of the smartphone market, with Samsung leading the 5G market, followed closely by OnePlus and Vivo. Together, these three brands captured a combined 5G market share of 60%.

5G smartphone shipments cross 10 cr in India for 1st time
5G market is expected to grow by over 70% year-on-year by the end of this year

As the 5G roll-out expands across most regions in India, the 5G market is expected to grow by over 70% year-on-year by the end of this year. The Indian smartphone market has witnessed more than a thirteen-fold increase in 5G shipments since its introduction in 2020. In 2022, nearly 100 5G smartphones were launched in the Indian market.

To drive mass adoption of 5G in India, the availability of affordable 5G phones (priced below Rs 10,000) will be crucial, as highlighted in a previous CMR study. Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have already started rolling out their 5G networks in India since October 2022 and have covered a significant portion of the country.

After washing tribal man’s feet, MP CM Chouhan gives Rs 6.5L aid

CM Chouhan provides 6.5L of assistance after washing a tribal man’s feet.

Officials announced that the government of Madhya Pradesh has granted Rs 6.50 lakh as compensation to the tribal laborer who was subjected to a humiliating act of having urine poured on him by a man. Out of the total amount, Rs 1.50 lakh has been allocated for the construction of a house for the victim’s family. The announcement came shortly after Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan personally met with the victim, washed his feet, had breakfast with him, and planted a sapling in Bhopal. The Chief Minister also apologized to the tribal laborer on behalf of the inhumane act committed by Pravesh Shukla, who is reported to be a worker associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Sidhi collector Saket Maliya posted a message on Twitter confirming that, as per the Chief Minister’s instructions, an assistance of Rs. 5 lacks has been sanctioned to tribal Dashmat Rawat, along with an additional Rs. 1.50 lakh for the construction of a house. Dashmat, who works as a laborer at a local market, resides in Kubri village in the Sidhi district.

In a widely circulated video, Pravesh Shukla, who was connected to local BJP MLA Kedarnath Shukla, was seen urinating on Rawat’s face. Pravesh Shukla has been placed in Rewa’s central jail, facing serious charges including the National Security Act (NSA) and other sections.

Furthermore, the house owned by Pravesh Shukla’s family was demolished as it was declared illegal. However, Shukla’s family has questioned the state government’s decision, as they now find themselves without shelter or basic amenities. The administration demolished their house, leaving Shukla’s wife, elderly parents, and toddler daughter to survive in makeshift arrangements during the rainy season. The family has been dependent on kind neighbors who provided them with meals. Shukla’s wife expressed that the house was built by her grandmother and claimed that they were given 24 hours notice to vacate the premises due to alleged lack of permission from the local panchayat. She criticized the administration’s actions, stating that such measures are not reflective of a democratic system.

Sensex rally had weak structure and a lack of investors

The Sensex rally was poorly organized and had few investors.

According to V. K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, the recent rally in the Sensex reaching a record high lacked a strong foundation and enthusiastic investor participation. The market lacks the momentum to sustainably push it to new highs, and there is no support from the US market either. The Sensex rally in the S&P index, driven by just 10 tech stocks, is unlikely to be sustainable in the long run.

Sensex rally had weak structure and a lack of investors
unlikely to be sustainable in the long run.

Although the Sensex rally in India is more widespread, there is insufficient valuation support to drive the market significantly higher. Therefore, Vijayakumar suggests that investors should wait for a clearer market direction. The upcoming Q1FY24 results are expected to influence the market, and investors may look for cues from these results to identify sectors that could outperform for the rest of the year. Analysts predict that foreign portfolio investor (FPI) inflows into India will moderate due to increasing valuations in the country and a rising interest rate environment.

So far, FPIs have continued their May strategy in June, with Japan attracting the largest inflows globally, followed by India. FPIs have been major buyers in financials, autos, and capital goods in India, as these sectors are performing well and have promising prospects. On the other hand, FPIs have been selling in IT and metals due to short-term challenges in these sectors. As of June 23rd, FPIs have invested Rs 30,669 crore in Indian stocks this month, and the annual FPI equity inflows have reached Rs 59,922 crore.

However, going forward, FPI inflows are expected to moderate due to high valuations in India and the increasing interest rate environment. In May, India was the consensus overweight among all emerging markets, attracting the highest investment among them, while FPIs were selling in China.

Putin outlines the choices for the Wagner soldiers

In his address to the Russian citizens, President Vladimir Putin has called on members of the Wagner private military group to either sign a contract with Russia’s Defense Ministry, return home, or go to Belarus. Putin acknowledged that the majority of the Wagner group fighters are Russian patriots who were unknowingly manipulated during the armed mutiny.

He emphasized that the organizers of the rebellion had betrayed the country and that the armed uprising would have been suppressed regardless. Putin expressed gratitude towards Russian servicemen, law enforcement officers, and special services for thwarting the mutiny and fulfilling their duty. He also thanked Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for his role in mediating the resolution of the attempted rebellion.

Following accusations against the Wagner group for plotting an armed uprising, a counter-terrorist operation regime was initially implemented in Moscow, the Moscow region, and the Voronezh region. However, reports suggest that Moscow and the head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, reached a compromise through Lukashenko’s mediation.

As a result, Russia’s National Anti-terrorism Committee announced the cancellation of the counter-terrorist operation due to the normalization of the situation in the aforementioned regions.
