He faded like a shadow: KTR as Rahul Gandhi completes one year as Lok Sabha LoP
In his 'X' post, KTR mentioned that Rahul Gandhi 'faded' like a shadow after making 420 'hollow' promises during the Telangana assembly polls.
'Rahul Gandhi's betrayal of Telangana's people cuts deep, as he completes one year as Leader of Opposition in Loksabha. Not once has he raised Telangana's burning issues in Parliament or the unfulfilled promises of the 2014 Bifurcation Act-- Be it National status to a irrigation project or Bayyaram steel factory. His silence on Andhra Pradesh's Banakacherla project, which threatens to divert Telangana farmers' Godavari water rights, is complicity! After peddling hollow #420promises in Telangana's assembly polls, he faded like a shadow, leaving Congress to bask in power while Telangana's aspirations rot. Jai Telangana', KTR said in his 'X' post.
On June 30, K.T. Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding to know why the BJP-led Centre has failed to order an investigation into the corruption allegations against the Congress government in Telangana, a release from BRS public relations official said..
Reminding Shah of his remarks made earlier in Nizamabad, where he called the Revanth Reddy-led government an 'ATM' for the Congress high command, KTR questioned, 'Why hasn't the Union Home Minister acted upon it? What is stopping the Centre from initiating a probe through the CBI or ED?'
Alleging a covert understanding between the BJP and Congress, KTR said, 'In Delhi, they stage a mock fight. In Telangana, they strike secret deals. Is BJP shielding Revanth Reddy because it cannot take on BRS alone?'
KTR reminded that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had once accused the Congress of running a 'RR Tax' scam in Telangana, but no investigation was initiated. 'If you only make allegations during visits, but allow Congress to loot in broad daylight, what message are you sending to the people?' he asked. (ANI)

Parliament passes Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill
Parliament on Tuesday (August 19, 2025) passed the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025 that aims to further liberalise, modernise and make India's mineral sector more dynamic, especially with a focus on critical and strategic minerals. The Bill, which seeks to amend the original Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, was passed in Lok Sabha on August 12. Rajya Sabha passed it with a voice vote. About 19 members participated in the debate and shared some constructive suggestions. Replying to the debate on the Bill, Union Minister of Coal and Mines G Kishan Reddy said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has taken revolutionary reforms in the coal and mine sector in the last ten years. In critical minerals, the country is dependent on imports due to less reserves in India. With demand for critical minerals expected to rise further, the government is focusing on enhancing domestic production and exploring overseas market to secure the supplies, he added. One of the key amendments in the Bill is renaming of the National Mineral Exploration Trust as the National Mineral Exploration and Development Trust, and its scope has been expanded to fund exploration and development both domestically and internationally. "A forward looking reform, which has been hanging fire for very long time. This Bill is not just about minerals, it is about securing India's economic security, future and ensuring development in more transparent and sustainable way," BJP leader Kiran Choudhary said during the debate on the Bill. India is the world's third largest in the mineral wealth. Yet the mining sector is constrained by outdated laws, fragmented leases, lack of accountability. The Bill is important as it addresses all these gaps, she said. The Bill balances development with sustainability and provides for community participation and welfare of people in the mining areas, she added.

'Should I Bring Truckful Of Papers To Parliament?': How Nehru Dismissed MPs' Concerns Over Indus Treaty
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday quoted from a News18 report on the Parliament archives to slam Nehru's approach in signing the IWT Should I bring a truckful of papers to the Parliament? This is how then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru dismissed the demands of parliamentarians, including senior members from his own party, who questioned him in 1960 on why he did not consult Parliament before signing the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday quoted from a News18 report on the Parliament archives to slam Nehru's approach in signing the IWT. A perusal of the archives shows Nehru was completely dismissive of the idea of consulting Parliament on it. 'All those numerous papers will probably fill a cart. You can imagine ten years' papers and if you have to bring them and present them to Parliament you require a truck-huge number of correspondences, this debate, that engineer's estimate, etc, running to hundreds of pages. It is a mountain of papers; it is not a few letters exchanged, for a period of twelve years," Nehru told Parliament. In this debate on November 30, 1960, Nehru went on to say that such 'complicated agreements" cannot be brought to Parliament. 'I do not think it is possible for any kind of these complicated agreements to be dealt with, when we have to refer to Parliament. There must have been, I suppose, in this particular matter, dozens of approaches, dozens of plans, discussed, ultimately rejected and something happened. Are we to come at every step and ask Parliament?" Nehru told the MPs. Parliamentarians, including those from the Congress, were aghast that while the Parliament was in session till September 9, 1960, the treaty was signed on September 19 in Karachi without Parliament being aware. 'You cannot carry on any kind of negotiation, even relatively simple ones and certainly not this very difficult one (with Parliament being consulted). Therefore, very wisely, the Constitution and convention lay down that in such agreements, Government has to stake its own judgment, its future, on it. There is no other way. One takes a risk; maybe that Government may go wrong. But there is no other way to deal with it," Nehru insisted. In the end, as per the BJP now and the general wisdom of the parliamentarians then, the Nehru government did go wrong on the Indus Waters Treaty. Nehru had then accused his fellow MPs of acting in 'narrow-minded spirit" while opposing the treaty and requesting 'a little more friendly treatment by this House". He said Congress MPs using words like a 'second partition" for IWT was loose language and a 'perversion of the facts". 'Partition of what? Of an inch of territory? Partition of a pailful of water? What have we partitioned? Is that the way to approach an international question? I was depressed that when we are dealing with mighty things like relationship of nations, the future of India spreading out, the future of Pakistan spreading out, we should talk in this way, which has no relation to fact," Nehru said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
