Reliance Communications has jumped into the telecom war with new offers on the festival of Holi. In the new ‘joy of Holi’ offer, Reliance has taken on the competitive 4G data pricing from Reliance Jio, Vodafone, Airtel and Idea. In the tariff war between Reliance Jio Prime, Airtel, Vodafone and Idea, users have found themselves in a fix among the complicated plans on offer, and now Reliance Communications too, has jumped into the fray.

While telecom companies are renewing the battle lines in the war against call harassment by ensuring safety for female customers for retail recharge transactions, Idea is ready with an all India roll out of its ‘private recharge’ service. Private recharge allows telco customers to recharge their prepaid connection at retailer without sharing their number. In an age of continually evolving technology privacy is highly important, and especially with so many new offers after Reliance Jio came to the bangwagon, it is crucial that security is also an area which must be looked after.

If the predictions of several of the exit polls, made public on Thursday, for the five states that had Assembly elections in February-March turn out to be true, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to emerge as the most influential leader of India since Indira Gandhi, who had held sway over the country’s political landscape 40 years back.

Findings of at least four exit polls suggested that Modi’s blitzkrieg of public rallies in Uttar Pradesh (UP) could help the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) either comfortably cross the majority mark of 202 in the 403-seat UP Assembly, or come close to it.

Exit poll results for the bitterly fought Assembly Elections in five states are expected on Thursday evening.

Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa, and Manipur states went to polls over the course of two months and the results of these states will be seen as a virtual referendum on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity after his demonetization decision on November 8 last year.
