Double standards of Centre and State govt. exposed one more time, alleges KTR
HYDERABAD Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao has ridiculed the double standards of the NDA government and the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA), stating that they are not acting on the sinking of the coffer dam of the Polavaram project for the second time. In a statement, Mr. Rao said on Saturday that the NDSA had not taken up investigation into the washing away of the Polavaram cofferdam in 2020 that happened for the first time, even after being asked to go into the matter. The NDA government gave national project status to Polavaram and funded its construction - but is not looking into the quality aspects of construction, he said. During the run-up to the last Assembly elections in Telangana, a few piers of the Medigadda Barrage of Kaleshwaram project sank and damaged the structure under suspicious circumstances, but neither the BJP leaders nor those of the Congress, who had been indulging in mudslinging on Kaleshwaram project continuously, and terming it as 'kuleshwaram' (a collapsed project) repeatedly - had raised an issue on Polavaram, Mr. Rao said. He sought to know if the BJP and the Congress have the guts to term Polavaram as 'kulavaram' since its coffer dam was washed away once and sunk for the second time. In the second instance, it sunk for 10 meters width and about 8 meters deep, and the Andhra Pradesh government had taken up repairs on a war-footing silently, he said. On the other hand, the 'foolishness' of the Congress government is preventing it from taking up repairs on Medigadda Barrage and in giving water to the large ayacut depending on waters lifted from the point, even 20 months after coming to power, he said. Further, the NDSA proved its double standards by not taking up investigation into the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse in February that buried eight workers, technicians and engineers alive. It is also indicative of the Congress-BJP conspiracy against Kaleshwaram, he alleged.

BJP Telangana celebrates 79th I-Day with patriotic fervour, zeal
Hyderabad: The 79th Independence Day was celebrated with grandeur and patriotic spirit at the BJP Telangana State Office in Hyderabad. The event was marked by the hoisting of the national flag by BJP Telangana State President N. Ramchandra Rao who paid tribute to the martyrs and freedom fighters who laid down their lives for India's independence. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar attended the ceremony as the chief guest, alongside a host of senior party leaders, including General Secretaries Dr. Kasam Venkateswarlu and Dugyala Pradeep Kumar, Vice Presidents Gangidi Manohar Reddy, Dr. N.V.S.S. Prabhakar, Chintala Ramachandra Reddy, Yendala Lakshminarayana, Sankineni Venkateswara Rao, MLC Anji Reddy, and several former MLAs, MPs, and office bearers. Dr. Shilpa Reddy delivered the vote of thanks. Addressing the occasion, N. Ramchandra Rao extended heartfelt greetings to citizens across the nation and abroad. Marking his first flag-hoisting ceremony as State President, he reflected on the legacy of past leaders, noting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had hoisted the national flag at the Red Fort for the 12th consecutive time, setting a record for the longest Independence Day speech from the historic site. He emphasized that India's freedom was earned through immense sacrifice, citing heroes like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Rajguru, Sukhdev, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Rao urged the youth to honor these sacrifices by striving toward their dreams and contributing to national progress. Highlighting India's transformation under Prime Minister Modi, he noted that the country had become the world's fourth-largest economy. He recalled the resilience shown during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's tenure, especially during the Pokhran nuclear tests, and praised the current government's reforms and infrastructure development. Rao called for a revival of the Swadeshi spirit, encouraging citizens to buy indigenous products and reduce plastic usage to protect the environment. He lauded India's global outreach, including vaccine diplomacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rao warned against divisive politics and urged citizens to uphold constitutional values. 'Let us stand united, honor our freedom fighters, and build a Young India, Naya Bharat,' he said.

Police given free hand to maintain harmony in DK: Dinesh Gundu Rao
1 2 3 4 5 6 Mangaluru: Minister for health and family welfare Dinesh Gundu Rao said that the govt has taken recent murder cases in Dakshina Kannada district seriously and has established a Special Action Force to prevent communal clashes. During the Independence Day celebration held at Nehru Maidan on Friday, the minister said that the police department was given full responsibility to maintain peace and order in the district without any external pressure. "To understand the root of communal issues, peace and harmony meetings have been held with district representatives and leaders from various fields, and several measures are being implemented based on the consensus reached in these meetings," he said. To maintain peace and order in the district, religious leaders from temples, mosques, and churches should educate people at their respective religious centres, he suggested. "It is important to make the community understand that development is possible through harmony. Artistes in fields such as art, drama, and Yakshagana should focus more on conveying messages of harmony. Everyone should join hands for the comprehensive development of the district without allowing violence," the minister said. The district, known for its unique features in education, healthcare, tourism, and religion, also made significant contributions to the freedom movement, which is a matter of pride. The govt has been responding positively to the development of Dakshina Kannada district. Priority has been given to strengthening basic infrastructure and providing better civic amenities in all towns and rural areas of the district. Notably, there was an unprecedented response from the Dakshina Kannada district to all five major guarantee schemes of the state govt. Under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme, a total assistance of Rs 1,377 crore was sanctioned to 3.7 lakh women in the district so far, he said. At the Kukke Sri Subrahmanya Temple, under the Hindu religious endowment department, various infrastructure development and other necessary facilities are being undertaken in the third phase of the master plan at a cost of approximately Rs 400 crore this year, said Rao. The tourism department has approved various projects to develop infrastructure at Ullal Beach. Efforts are being made to attract tourists to the district by providing funding for various tourism programmes, he added. Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta, MLC Ivan D'Souza, MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, DC Darshan HV, Mangaluru City police commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy, SP Arun K and others were present.
