Telangana CM pays tribute to PV Narasimha Rao on 104th birth anniversary
Revanth Reddy paid floral tributes to the portrait of Narasimha Rao, who hailed from Telangana, an official release said.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and other ministers visited 'PV Gyan Bhoomi', Narasimha Rao's memorial here, and paid tributes to the departed leader.
Laxman, former BJP MLC N Ramchander Rao, Telangana BJP spokesperson and Narasimha Rao's grandson N V Subhash also offered tributes to the former Prime Minister.
Accusing the Congress of "failing" to honour Narasimha Rao, Laxman said it was the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that recognised the former PM's stellar contributions by conferring Bharat Ratna award on him.
Hailing Narasimha Rao as the architect of economic reforms in the country, BRS Working President K T Rama Rao said the former Prime Minister was a reformist, polyglot, poet and statesman.
The previous BRS regime in Telangana honoured Narasimha Rao by naming the state's veterinary university and the popular Necklace Road in Hyderabad after him, he said in a post on X.
Born on June 28, 1921 near Karimnagar in Telangana, Narasimha Rao served as Prime Minister of India from 1991 to 1996.

Praniti Shinde Refuses to Apologise for 'Tamasha' Remark on Op Sindoor After PM Modi Takes Dig Congress MP Praniti Shinde's 'Tamasha' comment on Operation Sindoor sparked outrage across party lines, but she's not backing down. Even as PM Modi condemned her remarks as an insult to the 26 lives lost in the Pahalgam terror attack, Shinde doubled down: 'We'll apologise 1000 times to the victims' families, but never to the BJP's andh-bhakts and trolls.' Shinde further questioned the lack of transparency in Operation Sindoor, asking how many terrorists were neutralised, whether jets were lost, and what India truly gained.

Race intensifies for Jubilee Hills bypoll ticket, Danam ‘throws hat' in ring?
Hyderabad: The race for a ticket to contest the bypoll to the Jubilee Hills constituency has intensified, with even a sitting MLA expressing keen interest in entering the fray. According to sources, turncoat MLA from Khairatabad, Danam Nagender , has sent feelers to the Congress leadership, indicating that if he is fielded for the bypoll, he can ensure party's victory not only in Jubilee Hills but also in Khairatabad constituency. Danam won the Khairatabad seat on a BRS ticket in 2023 and later joined the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. A senior Congress leader stated that there is a high demand for the Jubilee Hills bypoll ticket. "Almost everyone in the Congress is of the opinion that whoever wins the bypoll will be given a cabinet berth. This is because there is currently no minister in the cabinet from Greater Hyderabad. The Congress failed to win any of the 24 seats in Greater Hyderabad during the 2023 assembly election. Though the Congress won the Secunderabad Cantonment seat in a bypoll held along with the Lok Sabha polls, Sri Ganesh is a first-time MLA and was not considered for a cabinet berth. Danam, on the other hand, is a six-term legislator and also served in the cabinet of former chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy in the undivided state," said a senior leader.

While all of them are still BRS MLAs in the official records of the state assembly, Danam contested the Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket, without officially resigning from the BRS. There is a speculation within the ruling party that Danam could be the first among the turncoats to face disqualification if the speaker takes a decision on the legislators. "Contesting from Jubilee Hills will provide a safe alternative to Danam. Also, if he gets the ticket and wins the byelection, he will have the highest scope of making it to the cabinet. He served as a minister in the YS Rajasekhar Reddy govt in the undivided state. But the AICC will finalise the candidate for the bypoll. The Telangana Congress is getting its own surveys conducted to know the strength of various candidates in the race for the ticket," a senior leader said. Meanwhile, on his part, Danam told TOI that he has not sought a ticket. "If the party wants me to contest, I will not only win Jubilee Hills but will also ensure the party wins the Khairatabad constituency, which I currently represent," he said. The bypoll notification is expected in Oct or Nov, along with elections to the Bihar state assembly. Jubilee Hills is a sitting seat of the BRS, and the party is likely to field a family member of Maganti Gopinath, whose death necessitated the bypoll. The bypoll is also prestigious for the BJP, as it will be the first major election for a seat in the assembly under the leadership of the BJP's new state president, Ramchander Rao. Also, the Jubilee Hills seat is part of the Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency represented by Union minister G Kishan Reddy.

'Rahul Gandhi told you so in 2018': Congress on ED summoning Anil Ambani; attacks PM Modi
NEW DELHI: With ED summoning industrialist Anil Ambani for alleged loan fraud involving a massive sum, Congress hurled a "Rahul told you so" barb at BJP, asking whether PM Narendra Modi would answer the allegations made by Rahul Gandhi during the row over the Rafale purchase seven years ago. Congress spokesperson and MP Manickam Tagore reposted on X Rahul's post from 2018 in which he had slammed the awarding of the Rafale offsets contract to Anil as cronyism by Modi, saying "the PM and Anil Ambani jointly carried out a Rs 130,000 crore surgical strike on Indian defence forces... you betrayed India's soul." Tagore said, "Then, many laughed, few believed. Now, ED has summoned Anil Ambani in a Rs 17,000 crore loan fraud case, days after raids on his premises. The same Anil Ambani whose debt-ridden firm was picked for the Rafale offset deal - replacing HAL. Will Modi answer now?"
