Eatala opens public grievances cell in city

Hans India03-06-2025
Hyderabad: BJP MP Eatala Rajender announced that the party opened a public grievances cell at the party central office which began its operations from Monday. An MP or MLA will be available from 11 am to 2 pm to receive representations from people. Addressing the media on Monday, he stated that individuals could submit their grievances regarding job irregularities, real estate mafia, misuse of power by those in authority, and other issues concerning them. He assured that the party would address these matters with the relevant authorities for immediate resolution or escalate them to the government for further action. The BJP will also fight for people on the potential issues.
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.

BJP reaches out to Chirag Paswan, asks him to tone down criticism of Nitish government

In an effort to prevent history from repeating itself, the senior leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been at pains to ensure that Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader and Union Minister Chirag Paswan refrains from making critical remarks against the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Bihar. However, it has so far seen mixed results. According to a senior national office-bearer of the BJP, Mr. Paswan has been asked to tone down his criticism of the State government, particularly following his recent remarks on a series of murders in Bihar. 'I feel sad to support a government under which crime is out of control,' Mr. Paswan had said. The remarks did not go down well with Mr. Kumar's party, the Janata Dal(U), which fears that Mr. Paswan might end up splitting NDA votes, as in the 2020 Assembly election. According to one estimate by the JD(U), the party lost at least 12 seats in that election because Mr. Paswan, after breaking away from the NDA, fielded candidates against the JD(U) who made inroads into the NDA votes. 'We have conveyed to Chirag Paswan that he is on a good wicket, he has age, and a significant support base on his side, he should pull together with NDA, there is no need to be isolated within the alliance,' said a BJP leader. Mr. Paswan, who often refers to himself as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hanuman, or disciple, even when he was not a part of the NDA, has never hidden either his antipathy towards Mr. Kumar and the JD(U) or even his own ambitions. His party's MP Arun Bharti (also Mr. Paswan's brother-in-law) had, in an interview to The Hindu, said that Mr. Paswan was a 'Bahujan leader and LJP(RV) is a Bahujan party', signalling Mr. Paswan's intentions of casting his net wider in terms of communities other than his own Dalit constituency. Recently, Mr. Paswan's absence from a meeting presided over by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Sitamarhi raised eyebrows, but he later said that this was not deliberate but due to a scheduling conflict. 'We will be reaching out to him again,' said a senior BJP leader. The BJP assesses that the upcoming Bihar Assembly election has a couple of unpredictable factors — Mr. Kumar's health and the impact of Prashant Kishor and his Jan Suraaj Party. In the highly caste sensitive political landscape of Bihar, the Opposition party workers often refer to Mr. Kishor as 'Prashant Kishor Pandey', underlining his Brahmin lineage. Much will depend on the candidates selected by Mr. Kishor, and if he puts strong candidates, especially in the seats held by the JD(U), the upper caste voters may choose to go with him. In such a scenario, Mr. Paswan's remarks and the perception that the NDA may not be the united house it should be in the run-up to the polls is something that the BJP wants to squash as early as possible.

‘124-year-old' Minta Devi wants poll body to rectify age goof-up

Siwan's Minta Devi, who became the face of the Opposition's protest against the Election Commission on Tuesday (August 12, 2025), said she was not aware that her age in the electoral roll was recorded as 124 years. She urged the poll panel to correct it. Several Congress MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, wore a T-shirt with Ms. Devi's face printed on it while protesting outside the Parliament against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls in Bihar. The Opposition leaders alleged voter fraud in various constituencies and cited Ms. Devi's case to highlight 'irregularities'. 'I do not know what is going on in the Parliament, but my date of birth mentioned in the Aadhaar card is July 15, 1990. I had given my Aadhaar to my brother-in-law who had applied online for the voter I-card two months ago,' she said. The application was made in Siwan. 'However, when I received my voter card, I did not check it. It was only when the media met me that I saw my date of birth was printed as July 15, 1900. It is the mistake of the person who has issued the voter card,' Ms. Devi said, adding that she has never voted before. She said no Booth Level Officer contacted her during the SIR. 'Those who are responsible for this blunder should rectify it and issue me a fresh voter I-card. I have not made any mistakes,' Ms. Devi said. Ms. Devi is a resident of Arjaanipur village and a voter registered in the Daraunda Assembly constituency of Siwan district. Her husband, Dhananjay Kumar Singh, is an e-rickshaw driver. The Siwan District Magistrate's office issued a press statement saying that the age shown in Ms. Devi's voter card was due to a 'human error' and it was made by her husband while filing the online form. The process of correction has already started, the statement said. 'Deputy Election Officer, Siwan, Sohail Ahmed has received the information that in polling station number 94, Siwan block under 109 Darauda Legislative Assembly constituency, Minta Devi, husband-Dhananjay Kumar Singh had filled the online application form for adding the name through Form-06,' the statement said. Ms. Devi's father-in-law Tej Bahadur Singh alleged that the BLOs were not going door-to-door for verification. 'The BLOs filled most of the enumeration form on their own. If they would have visited our house, we could have told them about the number of family members and their age,' he said.

Assam Congress begins training booth level agents in anticipation of SIR

With Assam administration indicating that the State will soon be holding Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, State Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi said that the party has begun the process of recruiting and training its Booth Level Agents (BLAs). The SIR is currently underway in Bihar and the Election Commission (EC) has indicated that it will be held across the country. 'So far we have registered close to 28,880 BLAs. We have also started a training programme for these agents. On Sunday, we concluded one round of training. At the end of the month, we will hold a week-long training programme. In the first module, we are briefing them on how voter list manipulation has been undertaken in Maharashtra and in Karnataka. We will show them the evidence that Rahul Gandhi's team had provided,' Mr. Gogoi told The Hindu. The party is also prepping up its legal team to support the BLAs to file objections and claims. The SIR exercise in Assam, Mr. Gogoi said, will be particularly difficult because of the demographic complexities, which he accused the BJP government of further complicating. 'NRC in limbo' 'The NRC (National Register of Citizens) remains in a limbo in Assam. The BJP government is not willing to address the issue of foreigners since they have no solutions to offer. Instead with the Citizenship Amendment Act, they have issued guidelines by which several Bengali speaking people have to give a written affidavit that they are from Bangladesh to apply under the Act,' he said. Instead of identifying illegal Bangladeshis as Prime Minister Narendra Modi had claimed, Mr. Gogoi pointed out that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, today says that he is unable to address the issue. 'Instead of making Assam safe and secure, he is absolving himself of responsibility and wants to distribute guns to the people,' he said.
