'You wouldn't have NATO if I weren't the President': US President Donald Trump

 On NATO, US President Donald Trump says, "I am no one who saved NATO. I'm the one who got them to pay 5.5% of GDP. It was 2%, and they didn't pay. Now they're paying 5%. I'm the one who saved NATO. You wouldn't have NATO if I weren't the President. Maybe NATO would be upset if I did it (if I pulled the US out of NATO). Maybe NATO would save a lot of money. I like NATO.

'What's the point of giving tickets to criminals' : Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis on BMC elections

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis says, "Pune has a population of approximately 6 lakhs. Why was it necessary to give tickets to people with criminal backgrounds as candidates? Everyone says and believes that crime should be eradicated. I have heard many speeches where it was said that the "Koyta gang" would be eliminated from Pune and crime would be rooted out... But the same people who made these statements are now giving tickets to criminals and even speaking in their support. This is absolutely wrong. I think the people of Pune will not accept this at all. In this election, I had decided not to make any personal comments, but when such issues come up, the Home Minister in me asks, 'What is going on?' On one hand, you say that crime should be eliminated; on the other hand, you give tickets to people with criminal backgrounds... I want to make one thing absolutely clear: even if a criminal wins the election, his place will not be in the municipal corporation... his place will be in jail."
