If Prez Denies Appointment…Cong plans ‘Chalo Rashtrapati Bhavan'
Hyderabad: In case of denial of President's appointment, Telangana Congress leaders, led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, will be organising 'Chalo Rashtrapati Bhavan' on Thursday. According to party sources, the leaders are still optimistic about the appointment. But in case President Droupadi Murmu denies, the next plan of action would be marching towards the official residence of the President. 'Our next plan of action in case an appointment is denied will be building further pressure. We shall be holding a dharna at Rashtrapati Bhavan. 'Chalo Rashtrapati Bhavan' will be the next idea to highlight the issue of BC reservations in the national capital,' said a BC leader in Delhi. Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi who could not attend the Mahadharna at Jantar Mantar as he was attending final rights of Shibu Soren urged President Droupadi Murmu to give her assent to Telangana's reservation bills. "The Telangana Government and Congress sat on a dharna in Delhi today, demanding President's assent to the law reserving 42% for backward classes in education, employment and local government. This law is a major advance towards the Constitution's vision of social justice, grounded in data from the caste census," the Congress leader posted on X.

TN Guv reserves Kalaignar University Bill for President's consideration
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi has reserved for President Droupadi Murmu's consideration the Kalaignar University Bill, which was passed by the state legislative assembly earlier this year, a senior official at the Secretariat said. The Bill proposes the establishment of Kalaignar University in Kumbakonam by bifurcating Bharathidasan University, aiming to cater to the higher education needs of students in Ariyalur, Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, and Tiruvarur districts. It is named after former Chief Minister and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi, father of incumbent Chief Minister M K Stalin. Once approved, Stalin will serve as its first Vice Chancellor. The Bill is one of two referred to the President by the Governor. The second seeks to amend the Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University Act to empower the state government to appoint and remove the Vice Chancellor of the sports university, the official said. Both Bills were passed by the assembly in April and subsequently sent to the Governor for assent. State Higher Education Minister Govi Chezhiaan had earlier announced that the new university would commence operations from the 2025-26 academic year. However, the delay in obtaining assent has hindered the inauguration, the official added.
