Ram Nath Kovind Elected as 14th President of India

BJP nominee Ram Nath Kovind's win as President-elect is an indicator of the changed political map with the saffron party and its allies picking up two-thirds of the vote.

BJP managers are not unduly perturbed by Congress's claim that Meira Kumar won the most votes by an opposition candidate, saying the result only showed the inversion of political equations.

Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, is based on PM Modi’s clean India drive, popularly known as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan

Actor Akshay Kumar has all the right reasons to be on cloud nine these days . On May 3, President Pranab Mukherjee presented the actor with the National Award for his performance in Rustom and Airlift.

And, May 9, the actor met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Capital to tell him about his upcoming film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha . Akshay shared a photo with NaMo on his Twitter page and it didn’t take long for it to become viral.

The film, which also stars actor Bhumi Pednekar, is a satirical comedy based on Modi’s Swachh Bharat Abhiyan— a governmental initiative to improve the sanitation conditions in India. Helmed by Shree Narayan Singh, it will highlight the importance of the pay-and-use toilet scheme and bring to light the issue of open defecation, mostly in rural areas of India. The film releases on August 11, and will clash with Imtiaz Ali’s Shah Rukh Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer.
