Quick Glance: Arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Raises Concern Ahead of Indian Elections
- When Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in March for an alleged liquor scam by the Enforcement Directorate, it marked the latest incident in a long list of legal offensives against opposition leaders ahead of the Indian general elections.
- Surveys indicate the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ahead, but concerns over unemployment and inflation could boost the opposition.
- Opposition parties in India, critical of Modi, see recent developments as a government attempt to use central agencies to pressure political opponents.
- Kejriwal's arrest could pave the way in Delhi for President's Rule, leading to the dissolution of the AAP-led government with the BJP taking control of the state.

Quick Glance: AI Revolutionizing Call Centers: TCS Insights
- The head of Tata Consultancy Services predicts chatbots will reduce the need for human call center agents significantly, revolutionizing the industry.
- TCS's generative AI projects have doubled in value to $900 million by March, highlighting the increasing demand for tech talent and the need for workforce training.
- Reports suggest that overall IT services growth is affected by global uncertainties like inflation, war, and elections, leading to a decline in spending and slower revenue growth for companies like TCS and Infosys.
- Infosys anticipates a modest 1-3% sales growth in the upcoming financial year due to customers delaying discretionary spending on new tech projects amidst the current economic climate.

Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.
- Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.
- Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.
- Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.
