The ranking is based on the implementation of the business reform action plan 2019 by states and UTs, according to a report released by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday.

Releasing the report, Sitharaman said that states have taken the exercise in its true sense and it would help states and UTs to become a better place to do business.

Appreciating the effort put in by states, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, who also has the Railways portfolio, said the exercise is aimed at promoting competition among states to improve the business climate to attract domestic and foreign investments.

The states and union territories that continued to lag are Assam(20th), J&K (21st), Goa (24th), Bihar (26th) and Kerala (28th). Tripura was ranked at the bottom 36th.

Bihar Election 2020: CM Nitish Kumar has played the Dalit card before the assembly elections

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has opened up his Dalit card yet again before the assembly elections.

Veteran Australian opener David Warner felt ‘stunned’ to play an international match in an empty stadium without a spectator, and he had no complaints as this was the first time he was not ‘abused’ by arch-rivals England spectators.

After the ball-tampering gate in South Africa, when the Australian team arrived here for the World Cup last year, the English spectators made vulgar comments against them, the same happened in the Ashes series.

The things were different in the first T20 International match played in Southampton on Friday. The Australian team suffered a two-run defeat in the first match of the three-match series. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the match is being played in a bio-secure environment where spectators were not present at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

The 33-year-old left-hander said, “But yet again, you get that up and going [from the crowd]. That’s why we love playing home and away. There’s a home advantage and away advantage. It was a bit bizarre, but we’re always up for international cricket. We’re just grateful to be back playing and want to make the most of that.”

Joe Biden says he will meet Dalai Lama, over Tibet

Former vice president Joe Biden has said that if voted to power, his administration will sanction Chinese officials responsible for human rights abuses in Tibet.

“My administration will sanction Chinese officials responsible for human rights abuses in Tibet, and step up support for the Tibetan people, including by expanding Tibetan language services at Radio Free Asia and Voice of America to get information from the outside world into Tibet,” Biden said.

“Where (President Donald) Trump has turned a blind eye, a Biden-Harris administration will stand up for the people of Tibet,” Biden said.

In the statement, Biden claimed that Trump has been weak on his China policy.

“Once again, the silence from President Trump has been deafening, as he focuses instead on his empty trade deal with Beijing and protecting his ”very good friendship” with Chinese President Xi Jinping. It”s disgraceful, though not surprising, that Trump is the first American president in three decades who has not met or spoken with His Holiness the Dalai Lama,” he said.

“Trump hasn”t even fulfilled the statutory requirement to appoint a Special Coordinator to lead America”s efforts on this vital issue. It”s no wonder China”s leaders believe they have a free hand to deepen repression in Tibet, just as they have in Hong Kong and Xinjiang,” Biden said.

He will also “step up” support for the Tibetan people, he said, by, among things, expanding Tibetan language services at Radio Free Asia and Voice of America to get information from the outside world into Tibet.
