पिछले दो दशक से भी अधिक समय से आपने अपना विश्वास एवं समर्थन मेरे साथ लगातार बनाए रखा है, तथा उसी के बल पर हमने बिहार की और आप सब लोगों की पूरी निष्ठा से सेवा की है। आपके विश्वास और समर्थन की ही ताकत थी कि बिहार आज विकास और सम्मान का नया आयाम प्रस्तुत कर रहा है। इसके लिए पूर्व में भी मैंने आपके प्रति कई बार आभार व्यक्त किया है। संसदीय जीवन शुरू करने के समय से ही मेरे मन में एक इच्छा थी कि मैं बिहार विधान मंडल के दोनों सदनों के साथ संसद के भी दोनों सदनों का सदस्य बनूँ। इसी क्रम में इस बार हो रहे चुनाव में राज्यसभा का सदस्य बनना चाह रहा हूँ। मैं आपको पूरी ईमानदारी से विश्वास दिलाना चाहता हूँ कि आपके साथ मेरा यह संबंध भविष्य में भी बना रहेगा एवं आपके साथ मिलकर एक विकसित बिहार बनाने का संकल्प पूर्ववत कायम रहेगा। जो नई सरकार बनेगी उसको मेरा पूरा सहयोग एवं मार्गदर्शन रहेगा।

दिल्ली के न्यू फ्रेंड्स कॉलोनी में एक आवाज समाचार के पत्रकार के साथ बदसलूकी और मारपीट का मामला सामने आया है। रिपोर्टिंग के दौरान कुछ युवकों ने उनका माइक तोड़ दिया और खुलेआम जान से मारने की धमकी भी दी। धमकी देने वाला शख्स कैमरे में कैद ही गया। #Delhi #NewFriendsColony

@RoyLakshman Its really a big concern.

I have Axis Bank credit card. Three days ago, on axis bank App, I clicked on a pop-up of card upgradation. After reviewing the details I chose not to proceed further. However since then I have received at least 20 phone calls from different representatives of Axis Bank regarding the same matter. What is particularly concerning is that each executive who called was fully aware of my name, the specific category of credit card I hold and even the fact that I had checked the upgrade section on the app.  This raises an important question: how widely has my personal and financial information been shared within the organization? This is not only a matter of inconvenience due to repeated calls but also a serious issue of data privacy and financial data security. I am deeply concerned that if such internal sharing of sensitive information continues without proper control it could potentially expose customers to financial risks in the future.  @AxisBank @RBI @DFS_India #AxisBankCreditCard #finacialdata #financialprivacy #CyberSecurity #financialfraud #cyberfraud #OnlineFraud
