These ‘Delhi' parties ruined Telangana model villages
Khammam: Senior Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and Rajya Sabha MP, Vaddiraju Ravichandra, has strongly criticised the Congress government, claiming that their 16-month rule has severely undermined the State's progress, particularly its model villages. Speaking exclusively to The Hans India ahead of the BRS Party's silver jubilee celebrations, which is on Sunday, Ravichandra expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the current administration's handling of rural affairs.
He attacked the Congress government for destroying the 'Gandhian Gram Swaraj' that was established during the ten years of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's reign.
He emphasised that KCR had realised Mahatma Gandhi's idea of local self-governance in addition to the goals of the Telangana movement.
'There is currently a crisis in Telangana's model villages,' he said and claimed that both the Congress in the State and the BJP at the Centre deceived the rural populace. 'People are seeing the disintegration of Telangana's villages, which were once ideal communities. They will give the Delhi parties a good lesson,' he asserted.
As part of the party's silver jubilee festivities, Ravichandra shared that a sizable public gathering will be held at Elkathurthy, close to Warangal, on April 27, the day the party was founded.
According to him, BRS serves as a safeguard for the interests and well-being of the Telangana people.
'The celebration of the BRS silver jubilee is a symbol of Telangana's hard-won progress and former Chief Minister KCR's visionary leadership,' he said, dismissing criticism of the event. According to him, it is a natural evolution that is in line with people's goals. 'Evolution was only natural,' the MP noted, 'because BRS was necessary to serve the country.'
He cautioned the leaders of the Congress not to
make negative statements about KCR.
'The creation of Telangana was not by accident, but rather by the wisdom, bravery, and selflessness of KCR. He led the agitation without using violence and defeated political plots to realise the aspirations of many Telangana residents,' he remarked.
He claimed that after decades of struggle, Telangana had become a model for socioeconomic progress in only ten years, but that Congress administration had caused it to face difficulties once more.
'The BRS was voted out due to the Congress party's fraudulent promises,' he alleged, He accused the
Congress of betraying
women and young people by failing to fulfill pledges
of gold, scooters, financial aid, and jobs.
He asserted that the people have realised their error and are prepared to reinstate the pink party in power in any future elections.
Likening the silver anniversary celebration to a Kumbh Mela of Telangana pride, he urged farmers, women, and youth to participate in big numbers. Farmers who were
denied a respectable living under the Congress dictatorship were asked to attend the large-scale public
gathering. 'We invite all women to join us, especially who feel deceived
by the Congress who promised them gold and didn't deliver,' he said.

Trump delays TikTok ban again for 90 days, sets new deadline for company to sell app
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to keep TikTok running in the US for another 90 days to give his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership. It is the third time Trump has extended the deadline. The first one was through an executive order on Jan 20, his first day in office, after the platform went dark briefly when a national ban — approved by Congress and upheld by the US Supreme Court — took effect. The second was in April when White House officials believed they were nearing a deal to spin off TikTok into a new company with US ownership that fell apart after China backed out following Trump's tariff announcement. It is not clear how many times Trump can — or will — keep extending the ban as the government continues to try to negotiate a deal for TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance. While there is no clear legal basis for the extensions, so far there have been no legal challenges to fight them. Trump has amassed more than 15 million followers on TikTok since he joined last year, and he has credited the trendsetting platform with helping him gain traction among young voters. He said in January that he has a 'warm spot for TikTok.' As the extensions continue, it appears less and less likely that TikTok will be banned in the US any time soon. The decision to keep TikTok alive through an executive order has received some scrutiny, but it has not faced a legal challenge in court — unlike many of Trump's other executive orders.

'It's illegal to knowingly hire illegal alien': Trump's border czar defends ICE farm raids; says there's 'right way to hire workers'
(Photo credit: AP) US Border czar Tom Homan has doubled down on the renewed ICE raids targeting farms, hotels, and other workplaces, saying there is a 'right way and wrong way' to hire workers. Speaking at the White House, Homan defended the enforcement actions, emphasising that 'First of all, there's a right way and wrong way to hire workers. There are legal programs that bring farm workers in. ' 'Second of all, I've been saying for years, Congress needs to address this,' he added. He stressed that inaction by lawmakers does not justify illegal hiring practices. 'Just because Congress failed, it just doesn't mean we ignore it. It's illegal to knowingly hire an illegal alien,' Homan said. Homan made it clear that the Trump administration would proceed with worksite enforcement operations. "The message is clear now that we're going to continue doing worksite enforcement operations, even on farms and hotels, but based on a prioritized basis,' he asserted. 'Criminals come first,' Homan noted. The Trump administration has resumed a tougher approach to workplace immigration enforcement this week, restarting ICE raids at farms, hotels, and restaurants after a brief pause. The return to aggressive action came after internal pushback from top officials, including senior adviser Stephen Miller, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and ICE enforcement head Tom Homan, highlighting the ongoing confusion around the policy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo The White House argues that undocumented workers lower wages and take jobs from American citizens. However, leaders in the farming and hospitality industries have warned that mass deportations could cause serious disruptions, as many of these workers perform essential roles that are difficult to fill with domestic labor. Undocumented immigrants are a significant part of the workforce across multiple sectors, including hospitality, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. They are found nationwide — from blue states like California and New Jersey to red states like Texas, Florida, and Nevada, which have some of the largest populations of unauthorized workers. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, an estimated 14 million undocumented immigrants were living in the US as of 2024.
