Eatala opens public grievances cell in city
Eatala emphasised that the BJP has been actively fighting various issues, including filling government jobs, the diversion of Godavari river waters, paddy procurement, and many others. 'There is a widespread belief among the people that only the BJP can come to their rescue and pull the state out of its financial troubles,' he remarked. The BJP leader also criticised the BRS and Congress parties for taking credit for the formation of a separate Telangana state.
He dismissed meetings with BRS leaders, and made it clear that other than at social gatherings such as marriages and festivals, 'there is no communication whatsoever with the BRS leaders.'
He launched a scathing attack on Congress and Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, stating, 'The Chief Minister calls Prime Minister Narendra Modi his elder brother and seeks the Centre's support for the state. However, he hurls insults against Modi and the Centre back home. It shows his double standards,' he pointed out.
The Malkajgiri said the Congress had appointed several commissions to investigate the Kaleswaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS), phone tapping, and other issues. However, no action has been taken, leading to doubts about whether these commissions were a genuine effort to uncover irregularities or just a facade. Turning to the state formation day, he asserted that the creation of Telangana was the result of three generations of struggle. He highlighted that the governments of Indira Gandhi and Brahmananda Reddy were responsible for the deaths of 369 innocent people in 1969. 'We will be celebrating June 2. Telangana did not come to us as a gift; we achieved it through our struggle and sacrifice.' Eatala reiterated that the BJP is firmly committed to Telangana and referred to the Kakinada resolution as 'one vote, two states.'
Union Defence Minister and former BJP chief Rajnath Singh expressed support for Telangana in 2007, and leaders like Bandaru Dattatreya and Ashok Yadav played key roles in the Joint Action Committee. Sushma Swaraj encouraged Telangana youth not to resort to suicide. She took a strong stand in Parliament, earning her the affectionate title 'Chinnamma.' In contrast, Congress has faltered in its support, while the BJP has remained steadfast. 'The vision for a social and democratic Telangana can only be realised under the BJP's leadership,' he affirmed.

Govt. land: Revenue quasi-judicial authorities to face action if their decisions are not in good faith
Revenue quasi-judicial authorities now cannot go scot-free if they issue any orders with mala fide intentions with respect to government land. The government has initiated the process of disciplinary action against a few such authorities who allegedly pronounced orders with vested interests to favour those who encroached upon government land. Disclosing this to the Legislative Assembly on Monday, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said an amendment to Section 196 of Karnataka Land Revenue Act had provided for initiating such an action if such authorities had not acted in 'good faith.' He explained that earlier, the only option was to file an appeal before the higher authorities. Revenue courts headed by tahsildars, Assistant Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, and Regional Commissioners have quasi-judicial powers. The Minister referred to the issue while replying to BJP member Sathish Reddy, who tabled a call-attention notice on encroachment of government land in his constituency of Bommanahalli in Bengaluru. The MLA alleged that despite courts ruling against the encroacher, the Assistant Commissioner had issued an order favouring the encroacher. Soon after this, the village accountant, the revenue inspector, and the police inspector concerned had tried to protect the rights of the encroacher, he alleged. He expressed concern that a total of five acres of government land including burial ground had been encroached upon. Responding positively to this, the Revenue Minister said he would direct the Deputy Commissioner to conduct a probe within seven to 10 days into the episode. Expressing shock over the order issued by the AC, he said generally the quasi-judicial authority is protected. But they should not get protection if they go against the spirit of the law, he added.
