I'll take responsibility of leading BJP to victory in polls: Telangana president Ramchander
Addressing party workers at the district headquarters in Medak during his maiden visit as BJP state chief, Ramchander Rao said, 'The BJP is strengthening in Telangana, including in rural areas. The party now has 40 lakh members, which reflects its expansion. Our workers are our strength.'
He claimed that the Union government, led by the BJP, has extended Rs 12 lakh crore to Telangana and said a BJP-led 'double engine government' would further accelerate development in the state.
Referring to the coach factory at Kazipet, Ramchander Rao said the long-pending project had been realised under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and would be inaugurated shortly by the Union Railway Minister.
He said the BJP works for all communities, pointing to the allocation of 20 minister posts to BC leaders. Ramchander Rao challenged the Congress to appoint a BC leader as chief minister in place of A Revanth Reddy. He also stated that the BJP was committed to providing 42% reservations for BCs.
Accusing the Congress of misgovernance and corruption, Ramchander Rao said, 'The Congress government has failed to implement its promises. The chief minister is frequently travelling to Delhi instead of addressing state issues. The government has let down the farming community.'
He also alleged that both the Congress and BRS had misled the public and called upon party workers to mobilise support to bring the BJP to power in the state.

Parliament Braces For Uproar? Congress Issues Whip, Gears Up For Fiery Operation Sindoor Faceoff
Congress on Sunday issued a three-line whip to all its Lok Sabha MPs, directing them to be present in the House for the following three days, beginning from Monday (July 28), as the debate on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor is scheduled to take place. This is a step by the grand old party to ensure full attendance during Parliament's ongoing Monsoon Session. The discussion on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack was a consistent demand of the Opposition, and thus, it is a high-stakes debate. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the debate on Operation Sindoor will be held for 16 hours in the Lok Sabha and for 16 hours in the Rajya Sabha. The first week of the Monsoon Session 2025 was marked by constant adjournments, major disruptions, and a surprise exit of Jagdeep Dhankhar as Vice President. Op Sindoor Discussion In Parl Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to initiate the discussion on Operation Sindhoor in the Lok Sabha on Monday. Furthermore, sources cited by ANI have informed that Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and BJP MPs Anurag Thakur and Nishikant Dubey are also expected to take part in the discussion in the Lower House. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to take part in the discussion. Meanwhile, the discussion on Operation Sindoor is expected to take place on Tuesday (July 29), and the Defence Minister and the EAM could participate in the discussion along with the PM. Opposition In Parliament Opposition parties have been demanding a discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor and have sought the government's clarification over US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The Opposition parties had been demanding PM Modi's presence during the debate. Since the Prime Minister travelled abroad on a two-nation visit this week, the discussion has been scheduled for next week. Apart from this, according to ANI, the floor leaders of the INDIA bloc parties will meet on Monday at 10 am to discuss the strategy for the second week of the monsoon session.

Worked Hard for 5 Years, but SM Krishna Became CM Just 4 Months After Joining Party: Kharge
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday expressed regret over missing the opportunity to become the Chief Minister of Karnataka, recalling how, despite his hard work, SM Krishna, who had joined the party just four months earlier, was chosen for the post. Expressing dismay over the Gandhis' decision to overlook him and appoint S.M. Krishna as the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Kharge said that despite working tirelessly for five years to bring the party to power, his efforts felt wasted. Kharge noted that there have been several such instances and declined to elaborate further. "I too became the CLP leader and worked hard to bring the party to power. Eventually, our government did come to power, but SM Krishna, who had joined the party just four months earlier at the time, became the Chief Minister. All our efforts felt like they went in vain. I had worked tirelessly for five years, and he walked in just four months prior and became CM. There have been many such instances. It doesn't look good to speak about everything on the same day," IANS quoted, Kharge as saying. S.M. Krishna served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka from 1999 to 2004. During that time, Mallikarjun Kharge held ministerial roles in his cabinet and continued to serve under subsequent chief ministers until he entered national politics by contesting the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. In 2022, Kharge, widely viewed as the Gandhis' preferred choice, was elected Congress president after defeating Shashi Tharoor in the party's internal polls. There has long been speculation that caste dynamics influenced the decision to appoint S.M. Krishna as Chief Minister over Kharge, despite the latter's seniority and long-standing contributions to the party. Krishna belongs to the Vokkaliga community, a dominant caste in Karnataka, while Kharge comes from a Scheduled Caste background, which many believe played a role in him being overlooked.
