Revanth is a country chicken… KTR is a broiler chicken, says Jagga Reddy

Hans India6 days ago
Hyderabad: Telangana PCC working president T Jagga Reddy on Saturday described Chief Minister Revanth Reddy as a 'country chicken' and BRS leader KTR as a 'broiler chicken'. At a press conference in Gandhi Bhavan, he addressed Rao saying: 'KTR, you don't have the stature to question Revanth's manliness'
Reddy advised KTR: 'Don't provoke Revanth unnecessarily. If you throw away security and challenge him with 'Ra Ra Sale' (come fight me), can you actually handle it? You don't have the guts. If Revanth suddenly shows up, you might get a heart attack, be careful. You once sent police into Revanth's bedroom, but now, Revanth isn't sending police into your house. That's the difference between us and you.'
He further said: 'Under Rahul Gandhi's leadership, Revanth as CM and his ministers are implementing public welfare schemes magnificently. Schemes that you didn't implement in ten years—we are implementing in just 18 months. Ready for a debate?'.
Reddy listed the schemes under CM- free bus travel for women; ration cards, fine rice, and bonuses for fine grain; Indiramma houses; 200 units of free electricity.
Reddy challenged KTR : 'Let's debate in Siddipet, Sircilla and Gajwel. Are you ready?', while observing: 'no matter how many insults we hurl at your 10-year rule, it's not wrong. For the atrocities committed by KCR's family on Mallannasagar farmers, mere abuses aren't enough. Their bodies should be buried in the ground, heads above, and snakes released on them, only then they'll feel the hell they created.'
He further said: 'KTR, you can't fight with police when you're in Opposition. You only use the police when you're in power. We stood against the police even when we were in Opposition. That's our manliness. Compared to our manliness, what is yours? don't provoke Revanth unnecessarily. It has been 18 months since Revanth Reddy became CM. We have many reasons to criticise KCR's family.
They didn't fulfill the promises made in 10 years, hence the criticism. They promised Rs 1 lakh loan waivers, but only paid 4 instalments; interest has piled up; they didn't give reservations to minorities – that's why they're criticised; promised jobs for every household, but failed to deliver; promised double-bedroom homes never delivered'.
According to Reddy, KTR is burning with jealousy.
'Let's hold a discussion with women in Sircilla; why this barrage of insults, KTR? what mistake did Revanth Reddy make to deserve your curses? He asked 'Ready to debate about free bus rides? CM and minister Ponnam will convince you; are we not giving cooking gas at Rs 500?; are we not giving 200 units of free electricity? we started Indiramma housing; ministers will come let's discuss'.
The senior Congress leaders quipped: 'KCR's rule was like a bad movie – 'Aha Naa Pellanta' style. We increased Aarogyasri coverage to Rs 10 lakh. Come, let's talk; what happened to women's groups over the past 10 years? Seethakka will come to discuss.
Come; fine rice is reaching every village – Uttam Kumar Reddy will come to debate. You come too; we are building integrated schools with Rs 200 crore; did KCR ever even think of such things?'
He remarked: 'While CM Revanth is doing so many good things, KTR is abusing him and the ministers? If we start insulting, it won't help anyone. Whoever is writing KTR's scripts is doing a poor job; looking at KTR evokes pity'.

Punjab Cabinet approves Bill to make sale of spurious seeds non-bailable offence

The Punjab Cabinet Friday gave its nod to introduce The Seeds (Punjab Amendment) Bill 2025 to make sale of spurious seeds a non-bailable offence. The decision was taken by the council of ministers at its meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. As per an official statement, the Cabinet gave its nod to introduce The Seeds (Punjab Amendment) Bill 2025 to ensure supply of high-quality seeds to the farmers of the state. 'There has been no amendment to Section 19 of the Seeds Act 1966 since its inception due to which the fines and penalties have no deterrence. So the Cabinet gave its nod to amend and insert Section 19A for contravention of Section 7 of the Seeds Act (Regulation of sales of seeds of notified kinds or varieties), enhancing the fine and penalty, and making it cognizable and non-bailable,' the statement said. As per the provision, the first offence by a company will invite punishment of one to two years and fine of Rs 5-10 lakh, and punishment of two to three years and fine of Rs 10-50 lakh for repeated offence. 'Similar misdeed by a dealer/person will invite a punishment of six months to one year and fine of Rs 1-5 lakh for the first offence and a term of 1 to 2 years and fine of Rs 5-10 lakh for repeated offence,' the statement said. Currrently, the fine is Rs 500 for first offence and Rs 1,000 and prison term of up to six months for repeat offence. The Cabinet also cleared a mechanism to provide land parcels on sale or lease to boost industrial and business investment, featuring a bi-annual digital land pool, investor facilitation for projects above Rs 200 crore, and e-auction procedures. In another key decision, the Cabinet approved an amendment in Rules 5 (b) and 5 (d) of the Punjab State (Group D) Service Rules, 1963, thereby enhancing the upper age limit for Group D recruitment from existing 35 years to 37 years. The council approved a one-time settlement (OTS) scheme to clear old loans under various industrial support programmes, with complete waivers for loans under the Punjab State Aid to Industries Act, 1935, and the Integrated Rural Development Programme. Accordingly, there will be a complete waiver of principal and interest for loans under IRDP and Punjab State Aid to Industries Act, 1935. The eligible units will be required to avail of the scheme and clear their dues within 180 days of publication of notice in newspapers. The Cabinet also gave its nod to the 'The Punjab Foodgrains Transportation Policy 2025′ and 'The Punjab Labour and Cartage Policy 2025′ for the smooth and hassle-free transportation of foodgrains in the state. The Punjab government through its state procurement agencies and FCI procures foodgrains from various designated centres/mandis. According to the new policy, during the year 2025, foodgrain transportation works will be allotted through a competitive and transparent online tender system. Other approvals included revising District Mineral Foundation rules, extending services of 951 veterinary staff, and amending VAT rules and temple advisory committees. Will develop robust semiconductor ecosystem: CM CM Mann said that the state government will make every possible effort to develop a robust semiconductor ecosystem in the state. Chairing a meeting with representatives of the semiconductor industry, Mann assured them of full support and cooperation, including the establishment of a dedicated semiconductor park in and around Mohali. He said Punjab offers a conducive industrial environment, a skilled workforce, and ample resources, making it an ideal destination for semiconductor investments. The industry, he noted, will not only spur industrial growth but also create significant employment opportunities for the youth. Mann emphasised the vital role semiconductor chips play in modern technology, stating that they are essential components in virtually all electronic devices. He added that semiconductors enable a wide range of functionalities from basic computation to advanced technologies. Mann highlighted the vast potential of the semiconductor industry, noting that it is currently experiencing an impressive annual growth.

Trace of no person found at site of Dhanbad mine ‘collapse', say officials as search continues

The search operation was started after several leaders claimed that many people died as the abandoned mine at Block 2 in Baghmara had collapsed. The operation by a 35-member squad of the NDRF and a 15-member BCCL mines' rescue wing began around 11.30 am after a futile attempt to search for the illegal miners late on Thursday evening. Dhanbad, Jul 25 (PTI) No person has been found so far trapped in the abandoned coal mine in Jharkhand's Dhanbad, officials said on Friday night after a joint team of the NDRF and Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) started a search operation as several leaders claimed that some people were buried by a collapse during illegal mining. Giridih MP CP Choudhary of the AJSU Party staged a dharna outside the Baghmara police station, demanding immediate rescue operations at the spot. 'Search operation is under progress, and till 9 pm on Friday, no sign of anybody has been found. The MP has pointed out three spots as suspected sites of trapped persons. Search operation has started at one of the spots, and other locations would come under its ambit soon,' Baghmara police station's officer in-charge Ajit Kumar said. According to Choudhury, the incident happened on July 22 evening after the roof of the underground closed mines caved in. An NDRF officer said the speed of the search operation is slow in the absence of required resources, including earthmovers. Jamshedpur West MLA Saryu Roy had on Thursday alleged that a large-scale cover-up was underway to conceal at least 15 deaths in the incident, calling it a case of 'people being deliberately buried under fresh soil to destroy evidence'. On Wednesday, Choudhary had claimed that at least nine workers lost their lives. Officials of the Dhanbad district administration, BCCL and police claim that no signs of any such incident have been found so far. Choudhary said he has submitted a list of five people allegedly trapped there. Roy accused the BCCL and the police of aiding illegal mining operations and protecting those responsible. According to him, extortion is rampant in outsourced coal mines, with Rs 1,600 per tonne being illegally charged during coal loading, 'under protection from police and political figures'. Roy said he will raise the issue during the upcoming monsoon session of the assembly, and also submit a report to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He also questioned why the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS), based in Dhanbad, never issued closure notices for abandoned BCCL mines, and demanded accountability for the sites that remain unsecured despite recurring illegal mining activities. An eerie silence prevailed at Taratand area in Giridih, from where four workers have been missing since the alleged mine collapse in Dhanbad. Villagers claimed Aziz Ansari alias Charku Ansari, 35, a resident of Kundalwadah village, Afzal Ansari alias Khan Sahab, 35, Dilip Sahab, 32, a resident of Ambabeda village, and Jamshed Ansari, 30, a resident of Mathurasingha village, had left for Baghmara and have not returned so far. 'All four used to work in mines. The Dhanbad Police did not allow us to go to the site of the incident,' a family member of one of the missing workers claimed. State BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo said, 'There are reports of casualties due to illegal mining in the Baghmara area of Dhanbad. Attempts are being made to suppress this whole accident on a large scale.' BCCL's regional nodal security officer Rajiv Ranjan stated that no incident had been reported from the closed underground mine.
