Dhiraj has over 1 lakh votes to his name accounting for 67.57% of the vote share. He's currently poised to win by a margin of 1,21,482 votes. His elder brother, Amit Deshmukh, has won that seat for the Indian National Congress (INC) in 2009 and 2014. But, this time around, Amit will be contesting for the Latur’s urban seat — where the INC has also won the past two Assembly elections. Amit has 1,10,443 votes, which makes up for 52.48% vote share. He's winning by a margin of 40,415. The Latur constituency has always been known as the stronghold of the Vilasrao Deshmukh. Also read:

 Dhiraj Deshmukh in rural Latur In rural Latur, Dhiraj is going up against Shiv Sena’s Sachin Deshmukh — no relation — Bharatiya Samaj Party’s (BSP) Khanderao Bhojraj, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s (MNS) Arjun Waghamare and 12 other candidates. The election may turn in his favour since BJP workers and voters are unhappy with the fact that the party decided to field a Shiv Sena candidate for the seat without giving a reason for doing so. Amit Deshmukh in urban Latur In Latur city, Amit is facing off against BJP’s Shailesh Lohoti, BSP’s Kamble Sambhaji and 17 other candidates. Amit who is more established than Dhiraj, has stepped out of the shadows of his father and carved a niche for himself. And he almost has a clean record. In 2017 however Amit was accused of ‘corrupt practices’ during the elections. This was later dismissed by the Supreme Court.

Taking a direct approach, the campaign disrupts the notion that only expensive products/brands offer good quality. In a straightforward manner, it aims to communicate Snapdeal’s unique value proposition - good quality at low prices The campaign “Brand Waali Quality, Bazaar Waali Deal,” features Bollywood actors <keyword id="1420" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Riteish-Deshmukh">Riteish Deshmukh</keyword> and Genelia Deshmukh Using humour, the campaign takes a lighthearted dig at a mindset that feels that anything can be good only if it is branded. Through a series of videos, the campaign challenges the conventional “brand-oriented” thinking and draws the attention of the audience to the depth of high-quality choice that is available online and showcases that great quality is also available at affordable prices. The campaign is targeted towards smart, value-conscious buyers, who are not necessarily taken in by the “brand quotient”, but are focussed on getting good quality, high utility items including fashion, accessories, homeware and much more. <div type="Youtube" id="mkqeUk6ylkc" title="Snapdeal | Brand Waali Quality Bazaar Waali Deal | NEW VIDEO 1 | Riteish | Genelia | Online Shopping" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mkqeUk6ylkc/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Speaking on the release of the campaign, Snapdeal’s CEO &amp; Co-founder, <keyword id="219793" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Bahl">Kunal Bahl</keyword> said, “Value is an integral part of India's purchase journey - online or offline. It is shaped by decades of experience &amp; acumen of Indian families in looking beyond the sales talk to find the best value for their rupee. In today’s connected world, it is also in the collective wisdom from one’s network that helps sort real value from the hype. This campaign is a nod to the savvy online buyers, who understand that great quality does not need to cost more.” The campaign is designed based on consumer insights gathered through extensive research. While users are familiar with value-priced options, they also seek a consistently predictable experience on quality, assortment, price and service. Snapdeal has built out a complete solution, where the entire assortment on the platform is aligned with the value e-commerce tenets of good quality at low prices. With its distinctive positioning, as seen in the campaign, Snapdeal is visibly reaffirming its leadership in the value e-commerce space. While value retail has traditionally thrived in India’s bazaars and in more recent times through modern format value retailers, an online equivalent of the same was missing. Snapdeal is India’s only e-commerce platform that is solely focused on the value segment. Unlike other platforms, which have bits of value selection dispersed across the entire assortment, 100% of Snapdeal is about value. The market for value retail in India is estimated at USD 210 Bn, which is 3 times of branded retail. Depending on the category, while 15-40% of the branded market is already online, only 2-3% of the unbranded, value merchandise is online. This vast value e-commerce opportunity is also enabled by the growth of e-commerce beyond India’s top ~ 40Mn households to the next ~ 170 Mn households, accounting for nearly 60% of India. Conceptualized and developed in partnership with All things small and EO2, Snapdeal’s “Brand Waali Quality, Bazaar Waali Deal'' will reach out to consumers pan-India. The campaign will also highlight the ease of buying on Snapdeal and the simplicity of payments and returns. The campaign includes 10 videos ranging and will run across a variety of media. The campaign has gone live today and will run over the summer months.

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has pointed out that many renowned <keyword id="143" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> actors haven’t complied with service tax norms when receiving payments from producers. The list of actors include <keyword id="6354583" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>, <keyword id="6357861" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ranbir-Kapoor">Ranbir Kapoor</keyword>, Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh and <keyword id="2180" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arjun-Rampal">Arjun Rampal</keyword> and the revenue skipped is more than Rs 50 crore. "During the examination of records of Salman Khan, Arjun <keyword id="2182" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="rampal">Rampal</keyword>, Ritesh <keyword id="6359159" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vilasrao-Deshmukh">Vilasrao Deshmukh</keyword> and Vishal (Ajay) <keyword id="32994" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="devgan">Devgan</keyword> in in the Mumbai service tax commissionerates, we observed from the agreements between producer and actors that the producers, being service recipients, agreed to provide for and bear expenses relating to arrangement of the services for travel, lodging and boarding of the make-up artist, hair stylist and spot boy ," the ET learnt from reports. The auditor duly noted that these services fall in the ambit of additional consideration directly and inextricably linked to the services provided by assesses. Non-inclusion of the additional consideration during 2013-14 to 2015-16 resulted in non-payment of service tax by the actors. When this was pointed out to the service tax aut horities, the department said it has issued show cause notice to Deshmukh and notices were being issued in the case of Devgn and Rampal. "Reply in the case of Salman Khan was awaited," CAG observed, according to ET report. In case of actor Ranbir Kapoor, the CAG said, "We noticed two instances where for the same film shot in India and abroad, the payment to artist for the portion shot abroad was arranged from foreign companies, thereby the service was made to look as export of service with no tax liability." "Ranbir Kapoor acted in the movie ' Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' produced by <keyword id="4854211" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="dharma-productions-pvt-ltd">Dharma Productions Pvt Ltd</keyword>, shot both in India and New York. He received a consideration of Rs 6.75 crore from a foreign company , ADHM Films Ltd., (UK) based in London for film shot in UK and did not pay service tax of Rs 83.43 lakh treating the same as export of services," the auditor pointed out.

The <keyword id="6356172" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maharashtra-government">Maharashtra government</keyword> is considering the option of reimbursing fees of students who would have benefited with <keyword id="6389157" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="maratha">Maratha</keyword> reservation in admissions to medical colleges, state minister Amit Deshmukh said on Monday. Deshmukh, who is the state medical education minister, said his department will move a proposal in this regard before the state cabinet. The Supreme Court in September this year stayed the implementation of <keyword id="1643654" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maratha-quota">Maratha quota</keyword> in jobs and education and referred the matter to a larger bench. The Maharashtra government later filed an application before a larger bench of the SC, seeking vacation of the stay on implementation of the quota. The state government is thinking of how students who have been affected by the Supreme Court's interim stay on implementation of Maratha quota can be given relief in admissions to medical education, Deshmukh told a TV channel. Asked if the government will reimburse their fees, he said, "...this (reimbursing fees) could be an option and the proposal will be moved before the cabinet by the medical education department." "Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray ji will take a final call on the same after the cabinet discusses it," he said. Deshmukh also said the Maha Vikas Aghadi government -- comprising the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress -- is committed to ensure that Maratha community students do not suffer. The Supreme Court in September stayed the implementation of 2018 Maharashtra law granting reservation to Marathas in education and jobs, but made it clear that the status of those who have availed of the benefits will not be disturbed. The Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2018 was enacted to grant reservation to people of Maratha community in Maharashtra in jobs and admissions. The Bombay High Court, while upholding the law in June last year, held that 16 per cent reservation was not justifiable, and said quota should not exceed 12 per cent in employment and 13 per cent in admissions.
