Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) is a state-owned telecommunications service provider in the metro cities of Mumbai and New Delhi in India and in the island nation of Mauritius in Africa. The company had a monopoly in Mumbai and New Delhi until 1992, when the telecom sector was opened to other service providers. "Transparency makes us different" is the motto of the company. The Government of India currently holds 100% stake in the company. In recent years, MTNL has been losing revenue and market share heavily due immense competition in the Indian telecom sector.

Narendra Damodardas Modi (Gujarati: [nəreːnd̪rə d̪ɑːmoːd̪ərəd̪ɑːs moːd̪iː], born 17 September 1950) is the 15th and current Prime Minister of India, in office since 26 May 2014. Modi, a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament (MP) from Varanasi. He led the BJP in the 2014 general election, which gave the party a majority in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Indian parliament) – a first for any party since 1984 – and was credited for 2014 BJP electoral victories in the states of Haryana, Maharashtra, Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir.
Since taking office as Prime Minister, Modi's administration has focused on reforming and modernising India's infrastructure and government, reducing bureaucracy, encouraging increased foreign direct investment, improving national standards of health and sanitation and improving foreign relations. Modi has been appreciated for starting initiatives like Swachh Bharat Mission, Make in India and Digital India. Earlier, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Modi's economic policies (credited with encouraging economic growth in Gujarat) have been praised, although his administration has also been criticised for failing to significantly improve the human development in the state and failing to prevent the 2002 Gujarat riots. A Hindu nationalist and a former member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi remains a controversial figure domestically and internationally, despite his progressivism. Known for his tech savvy image, he is the second most followed politician on social media after U.S. President Barack Obama.

New Delhi. Yes it will. The largest bank of our country i.e. state bank of India will soon become a white elephant to our system. It cannot survive. It will not survive. Just like any other public sector institutions BSNL or MTNL or Air India etc.….it will soon become big liability on the common tax payer of this country. Its not about SBI alone, whether its is Bank of Baroda, Allahabad Bank or any other Nationalize bank. All banks will have the same fate. You and I cannot stop it. The process was already started by prime minister Narendra Modi. Demonetisation, actually put this whole process on the fast mode. And promoting cashless economy is the last nail in the coffin of public sector banks. Whole story started way back on September 23rd, 2013, when Reserve Bank of India constituted...
In my safe haven I'm protected
Free to take another breath
Answers to all my questions running rampant
Simple as it may seem
I cannot run
I cannot hide
I'm an angel
I'm the devil
And both I deny
Beating heart, could it beat any faster?
Sometimes I wish it would just stop
Strong stand the walls of my denial
Long stay the scars that it brings
I cannot run
I cannot hide
I'm an angel
I'm the devil
And both I deny
I can't take another second
I won't last another day
If there's 'cause let it be ever shouldered
