End percentage raj in state: BJP to Cong
Hyderabad: BJP National Vice President and Member of Parliament DK Aruna urged the Congress government in the state to stop looting and focus on development. While addressing the media on Friday after attending the 'BJP Bharosa' program—where party representatives interact with the public to address their concerns—she alleged that a 'Percentage Rule' is prevalent in Telangana. Under this rule, pending bills are only paid if 30 per cent is first paid as a bribe. The corruption chain continues in the state, with many families of key leaders involved in this practice, she alleged. 'This isn't just speculation; the Congress party ministers and key leaders have openly acknowledged it.' Telangana is still being looted and needs to prioritise development. 'We have already raised concerns about the RR tax collection in the state. From Rahul Gandhi to Revanth, it appears that everyone is receiving bribes. There seems to be no shortage of funds for corruption, yet the government claims there is no money to fulfil its promises,' she alleged. The Telangana BJP is committed to fighting until this corrupt regime is dismantled, she added. Turning her ire on the State Cabinet meeting held on Thursday, she said, the cabinet met and discussions lasted five hours. 'All exepcted the meeting would address and resolve several issues faced by the people and the state. However, when state employees requested five pending dearness allowances (DAs), they were given only one. This is another instance of cheating government employees. Does the Chief Minister not feel ashamed? If the government is honest, it would immediately release the remaining DAs owed to employees,' she said. 'The decision to form a Healthcare Trust appears to be misleading employees; we want action, not empty promises,' she said. D K Aruna said contractors are hesitant to bid for development works in the state, and the condition of roads has deteriorated significantly. Development works in the state are predominantly funded by the central government. While the state government now claims it will build roads—which is a positive step—contracts should be awarded to those who lost contracts in the past. However, the BJP MP took strong exception for bringing contractors from neighbouring states who are being favoured to settle pending bills, 'neglecting local contractors who have already incurred losses. Pending bills should be released without requiring a percentage cut,' she demanded. 'Furthermore, a public referendum should be held regarding the Alampur ethanol factory. Setting up such industries without proper approval creates issues that have to be addressed. The government should engage in dialogue with farmers about these initiatives. The focus should be on irrigation project works statewide, especially reviewing the Palamuru Ranga Reddy Detailed Project Report (DPR). It is known that the capacity of the Guden Doddi under Nettempadu is set to be increased, which will not be beneficial. Reservoirs should be built by sourcing water from the Jurala,' she added.

Train to Kashmir: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Katra-Sangaldan stretch of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link on Friday. With this, trains can, for the first time, travel between two regions joined at the hip by more than an ampersand—Jammu and Kashmir. Touted as a remarkable achievement of railway engineering, the direct rail link is viewed as a game-changer that can revolutionise trade, tourism, and the economy of the UT. 272 km, 27 stations, 38 tunnels, 931 bridges — and a gap closed: Among the several firsts of the milestone USBRL project is the 359-metre-high Chenab Bridge, the world's highest railway arch bridge. L Prakash was responsible for laying the roads as the Chief Engineer of the Konkan Railways then. Now an Executive Director, he called it a 'classic case of one step forward and two steps backwards'. Lives along the (rail) line: With the Katra-Sangaldan stretch of Kashmir's rail link now open, trains can finally connect the Valley to the rest of the country. Dheeraj Mishra and Gajendra Yadav travel to stations new and old, from Katra to Baramulla, to see what changes for the people there when a train makes a stop. Match-fixing Maharashtra: 'The people of India have a right to be assured that no records have been or will be trashed,' writes Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. With the November 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections case in point, the Congress leader terms match-fixed elections as 'a poison for any democracy'. In his column for The Indian Express, he elaborates on the 5 steps —from fake voters to concealing evidence trail— of the playbook, which he believes, led to the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance's landslide victory in the state. The fifth installment of ensemble Bollywood comedy Housefull 5 hit the theatres. Critic Shubhra Gupta resorted to penning a dialogue between herself and her brain to review it, with the latter asking 'don't you know when to stop?' Gupta writes that 'compared to the previous Housefulls, this one has a slightly fuller house, but because no one expects anything else, it's pretty much like the older ones.' If that doesn't paint the full picture for you, here's more on this Akshay Kumar-starrer which maintains the franchise's signature chaos but is 'yet another loud, formulaic farce'.
