The Congress has decided that actor-politician Ramya will be the new head of its Digital Communications, placing her in charge of its social media and IT. Ms Ramya, 34, was a popular star in Kannada films. She joined the Congress in 2012 and has served as an MP from Mandya Constituency.

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP amid politics over the mob killing of a Muslim man in Dadri over beef rumours, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said: "The BJP and the Prime Minister have a strategy of polarising this country. They have a strategy of making Hindus and Muslims fight against each other."
