January 29, 2026 by KP Singh

Ajit Pawar, a senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and a multiple-time Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has often been at the centre of political controversy. Over the years, several corruption allegations and investigations have been linked to his name, especially during his tenure as the Water Resources Minister and later as a powerful figure in Maharashtra politics. Highlights of Ajit Pawar Corruption Cases Case / Issue Alleged Amount Agency Involved Current Status Vidarbha Irrigation Scam ₹70,000 crore (claimed) ACB No charges against Ajit Pawar VIDC Tender Irregularities Multiple projects ACB 9 cases closed, others under probe MSCB Scam ₹25,000 crore ED, Mumbai Police Investigation ongoing Balganga Project — ACB Statement recorded, no charges Son’s Land Case — State agencies Under review Why Ajit Pawar Faced Corruption Allegations Ajit Pawar rose rapidly in Maharashtra politics under the guidance of his uncle Sharad Pawar. His control over key departments, especially irrigation and finance, brought both influence and scrutiny. Most allegations against him emerged between 2010 and 2019, mainly related to: Irrigation projects in Vidarbha Cooperative bank loan irregularities Tender manipulation claims Irrigation Scam Allegations (₹70,000 Crore Claim) One of the most talked-about controversies involving Ajit Pawar was the Vidarbha Irrigation Scam, alleged to be worth nearly ₹70,000 crore. Key points The allegations related to irrigation projects executed by the Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation (VIDC). BJP leaders, including Devendra Fadnavis, accused the NCP government of massive irregularities. Ajit Pawar was then the Water Resources Minister. ACB Investigation Outcome: Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) examined 45 projects and 2,656 tenders. FIRs were registered in 24 cases against contractors and officials. Nine inquiries were closed, as no irregularities were found. ACB officially stated Ajit Pawar was not named in those nine closed cases. Ajit Pawar resigned as Deputy CM in 2012 due to political pressure but later returned after no direct charges were proven. Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (MSCB) Scam Another major controversy linked to Ajit Pawar is the MSCB Scam, estimated at around ₹25,000 crore. Case details: Alleged irregularities in loans given to sugar mills. FIR registered by Mumbai Police. Enforcement Directorate (ED) later registered a money laundering case. Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar were named in the FIR. Status: Investigations are ongoing. No conviction has been recorded against Ajit Pawar so far. The matter remains legally sub judice. ACB Closure of Nine Cases After Ajit Pawar Joined BJP Alliance Soon after Ajit Pawar joined hands with the BJP and became Deputy CM, the ACB closed nine irrigation-related inquiries, leading to strong political reactions. What ACB clarified Ajit Pawar’s name did not appear in those nine cases. No irregularities were found. Closures were termed routine administrative decisions. Political reaction: Congress accused BJP and ACB of “misusing institutions”. Congress leaders called it a “contract killing of accountability”. NCP leaders supporting Ajit Pawar said the closure proved allegations were false. Other Allegations and Controversies Ajit Pawar’s statement was recorded in the Balganga Irrigation Project inquiry (2015). Criminal cases were filed against contractors, not Ajit Pawar. His son Parth Pawar has also faced allegations in a separate Pune land deal, which is under scrutiny. Political Impact on Ajit Pawar’s Career Despite repeated allegations: Ajit Pawar became Deputy Chief Minister five times. He won the Baramati Assembly seat eight consecutive times. Regained political strength after the NCP split in 2023. Received a clean chit from the ACB in 2019. Read : Ajit Pawar MLA List

Amazon India Work Restrictions List – What Employees Can and Cannot Do While Working Remotely

January 15, 2026 by KP Singh

Amazon India Work Restrictions List highlights how immigration delays can directly impact global workforces. While Amazon’s decision to keep employees on payroll offers some relief, the extensive restrictions significantly limit productivity—especially for technical roles. In a major development for Indian professionals working with Amazon, the company has introduced strict work restrictions for employees who are stuck in India due to delays in H-1B visa processing. While Amazon has allowed such employees to remain on payroll and work remotely for a limited period, the permission comes with heavy limitations on the type of work they are allowed to perform. Amazon India Work Restrictions List (Detailed) Below is the complete list of activities NOT allowed while working remotely from India under this policy. Prohibited Activities Employees working remotely from India must not: Do any form of coding, including: Software development Troubleshooting Testing Code documentation Work from or visit any Amazon office or site in India Take strategic or business decisions Participate in product management or development planning Negotiate, approve, or sign contracts (including DocuSign) Communicate with or provide services to customers Manage or supervise Amazon employees or teams in India Hire employees or make hiring decisions Handle vendor, partner, or customer relationships Give the impression of having authority to bind Amazon legally Approve budgets, sign-offs, or final reviews from India Why Amazon Introduced These Work Restrictions Due to recent changes in US immigration policies and delays in visa processing, many Amazon employees could not return to the United States after travelling to India for visa renewal. To support these employees temporarily, Amazon allowed remote work from India until March 2, 2026. However, the company stated clearly that these restrictions are non-negotiable and are imposed in compliance with local Indian laws. All major decision-making authority must remain outside India. Who Do These Restrictions Apply To? Policy applies to: Amazon employees who were in India as of December 13 Employees waiting for rescheduled US visa appointments US-based Amazon staff temporarily stranded in India This includes employees across departments, particularly software engineers, product managers, and business roles. Read: APPSC Group 2 Jobs List and Salary Highlights of Amazon India Remote Work Policy Highlight Details Company Amazon Reason for Policy H-1B visa processing delays Remote Work Allowed Till March 2, 2026 Location Allowed Remote only (non-Amazon locations) Coding Allowed No Decision-Making Allowed No Contract Signing No Office Visits Not allowed Final Approvals Must happen outside India Policy Nature Mandatory, non-negotiable Impact on Employees, Especially Engineers For technical employees, these restrictions create serious challenges. Many engineers have stated that 70–80% of their daily work involves coding, testing, or documentation, which are now fully restricted. This has led to confusion and frustration, as employees question how meaningful work can be performed under such limitations, even though they remain officially employed and paid. Connection to H-1B Visa Changes Situation is linked to recent changes introduced by USCIS, including: Increased scrutiny of visa applications Social media review requirements Higher premium processing fees effective March 1, 2026 These measures have slowed visa approvals, especially in India, where demand for US work visas is very high.

Nakshatra List – Complete Guide to the 27 Nakshatras with Traits & Padas

January 6, 2026 by KP Singh

Nakshatra List is the backbone of Vedic astrology. While zodiac signs give a general idea, Nakshatras reveal the real depth of personality, destiny, and spiritual path. Understanding your Nakshatra helps you make better life decisions, from naming a child to choosing the right time for important events. There are 27 Nakshatras, and each Nakshatra represents a specific portion of the sky, ruled by a planet, associated with a deity, and symbolised by a unique sign. These Nakshatras are widely used in birth chart analysis, naming ceremonies, marriage matching, and Muhurat selection. What is a Nakshatra? A Nakshatra is a lunar mansion or constellation used in Vedic astrology. Moon travels through all 27 Nakshatras, spending roughly one day in each. Each Nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac Each Nakshatra is divided into 4 Padas (quarters) Total Padas = 108, which matches the 108 beads of a Japa Mala This number symbolises completeness and spiritual balance. Complete List of 27 Nakshatras with Basic Traits Below is the full Nakshatra list along with their ruling planet, group, zodiac sign, deity, and symbol.
