Bikaner, Nov 22 : Erstwhile Princess of Bikaner Siddhi Kumari, who is in the electoral fray as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate, brings about a royal touch to the state polls.

Rajasthan boasts of royal legacies and now these royal families are all set to make a mark in the state polls as well.

Such is the attraction to power that the former princess has made a foray into the land of the common man from her royal palace and is walking on foot to get to know the locals and garner votes.

Jaipur, Nov 20: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will organise an International Conference on "Accountancy Profession- Shining Bridge Between Global Economies" here today.

The five-day conference will be inaugurated by Minister of Corporate Affairs Prem Chand Gupta.

It will be a congregation of renowned experts in the area of accounting, auditing and management from International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), the Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA), the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and other international bodies including leaders from Trade and Industry of India.

Bikaner, Nov. 17 : Although election fever has gripped the Bikaner constituency, the voters in this Rajasthani city are wary of political outfits and their local leaders.

The main contenders in the State Assembly elections are Congress party and Bharatiya Janata Party, whose candidates have started door-to-door campaign to woo the voters who are reluctant this time to oblige.

Bikaner is famous for its big Havelis and the lip smacking crunchy-munchy snacks like Bhujia and Namkeen. Local residents here are not so enthusiastic this time to exercise their electoral franchise and choose a new State Government.
