										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following the repeal of Article 370 in J&amp;K, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday that 890 Central legislation is now valid in the state. She stated that what has been withheld from the people of J&amp;K for the past 70 years will be granted to them. &#8220;It (the repeal of Article 370) has enabled what Dr. Ambedkar provided for the rest of the country for SC/ST to be made available to the people of J&amp;K,&#8221; the finance minister said in the Lok Sabha.</p>
<p>According to Sitharaman, 1,198 startups have been incorporated in J&amp;K. &#8220;To date, more than 200 businesses have been supported. During the Covid epidemic, 143 crores were supplied to MSME firms in J&amp;K under the Emergency Credit Guarantee Scheme,&#8221; she said during a debate on the J&amp;K Budget for 2022-23.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On October 6, a group led by renowned investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala paid a visit to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi. Sitharaman&#8217;s office released photos of her talking with Jhunjhunwala and two of his associates, Utpal Sheth and Amit Goela.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sheth is the CEO of RARE Enterprises, a stock trading firm based in Jhunjhunwala, while Goela is a partner in the firm. Jhunjhunwala met Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a brief chat in the national capital the day before. Modi expressed his joy at meeting &#8220;the one and only&#8221; Jhunjhunwala on social media after their meeting, calling him &#8220;lively and smart.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jhunjhunwala is &#8220;extremely optimistic about India,&#8221; according to Modi&#8217;s tweet. The prime minister&#8217;s remark came just weeks after the Big Bull &#8211; as Jhunjhunwala is known &#8211; advised that for higher profits, retail investors should invest at home rather than in the United States.</p>

<p>“The Narendra Modi-led administration is in the process of selling India&#8217;s greatest treasures, which were constructed with public funds over 70 years by previous governments,” Gandhi stated during a press conference with senior Congress politician P Chidambaram.</p>
<p>The NMP, costing Rs 6 lakh crore, was presented on Monday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and featured unlocking value by incorporating private enterprises across infrastructure sectors, from passenger trains and railway stations to airports, roads, and stadiums.</p>
