Raipur: BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has described Ratan Tata as the most corrupt chairman in the history of the Tata group.

"The most corrupt person in Tata history is Ratan Tata. He is not even a Tata, as his father was an adopted child," he said."Ratan Tata is doing injustice with Cyrus Mistry. Two months back, the entire board appreciated the work of the Cyrus Mistry and it could be his (Ratan Tata`s) jealousy that prompted the action," he added.

Swamy told reporters in Raipur that Ratan Tata has been involved in various scams like the 2G scam, Air Asia scam, the Vistara partnership and the Jaguar deal.

"He has taken the step to save himself from getting caught in scam deals, but he will not be spared whenever he is tried in court," the BJP leader said.

Swamy said, "The government should intervene and set up an SIT. I have written to the Prime Minister and informed him about the sections involved where Ratan Tata has breached the Indian Penal Code.

"Tata Sons has accused Mistry, who was appointed chairman in 2012, of making "unsubstantiated claims and malicious allegations" post his sacking.

Mistry has accused the company of governance failures and unacceptable interference by Ratan Tata in running the affairs of the group.


Keeping in mind the changing needs of riders around the world, online transportation firm Uber on Thursday launched a faster, smarter and more personalised Uber app.

“We designed the new Uber app around you and our core beliefs that time is a luxury and that the information you need should always be at your fingertips,” said Uber’s Senior Product Manager Yuhki Yamashita in a statement.

The new Uber app learns from riders’ routines. So frequent riders will now see “shortcuts” that predict where one could be headed, meaning riders can get moving with just one tap.

Since riders use Uber to get somewhere or to someone and by starting with the rider destination, we can tailor the journey better, the company said.

Soon, riders will also be able to connect their calendar with Uber. Once connected, the riders’ meetings and appointments will automatically appear as “shortcuts”, saving them the hassle of digging through another app to find the right address.

The company will also introduce a new feature that enables riders to set their destination to a person instead of a place.

Riders just need to sync their contacts with the app, type their name into the search bar and once they have shared their location, the rider can get moving.

The new app is rolling out globally on iOS and Android over the next several weeks starting Thursday.
