Eatala opens public grievances cell in city
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.

ISI trying to influence state polls: Himanta
1 2 Guwahati: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said Pakistan's ISI is seeking to influence the state election due early next year in favour of its preferred outcome and the process has already started on social media from a call centre set up for the purpose in Kolkata. Sarma said, "The special branch is reviewing about 2,000 Facebook accounts where the owners belonging to a particular community are commenting over the coming polls and half of these handles are operated by handlers from Bangladesh and Pakistan," raising serious concerns about foreign interference in the democratic processes of the country. "This number will increase as the election date draws near because ISI wants that somebody should win. Everything is under my surveillance. I will give the details on Sept 10. There is so much of penetration in Facebook. This is a dangerous situation," Sarma said He said these 2,000 Facebook accounts were opened on a single day, which suggests the use of social media platforms to spread a negative tone that is a common tactic in modern hybrid warfare, where the aim is to destabilize and influence public opinion without overt military action. But Sarma is confident that BJP will win the election again. "In Assam, there is no alternative to BJP for Indian Assamese people. BJP is necessity driven by nationalism, identity, and development. Could Congress have taken the decision to give arm licence to the indigenous people of the state? "BJP is a compulsion for people of Assamese. What Assamese people want, BJP can give and BJP's politics is based on ideologies of Assamese people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo It is difficult to separate BJP from Assamese people," Sarma said, adding, a "unseen power has been helping BJP, which believes in Santan dharma." He added, "People of Assam for the first time have got a govt of their own. In the last one month, how many Bangladeshis we have pushed back we know, Assamese people cannot imagine. I don't have to say but only BJP can do this because BJP understands the soul of Assam. This is what the people want and BJP wants to do what Assamese people want."

Allahabad High Court denies relief to Rahul Gandhi over remarks on Army
Observing that freedom of speech is subject to reasonable restrictions, the Allahabad High Court last week denied relief to the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, in a defamation case filed against him over his alleged remarks against the Indian Army. Rejecting Mr. Gandhi's plea challenging the defamation case as well as the summoning order passed in February 2025 by an MP-MLA court in Lucknow, a Bench of Justice Subhash Vidyarthi on May 29 said the trial court was right to summon the Congress leader to face trial for the offence under Section 500 of the Indian Penal Code, as it had taken into consideration all the relevant facts and circumstances of the case. 'No doubt over the fact that Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India guarantees freedom of speech and expression but this freedom is subject to reasonable restrictions and it does not include the freedom to make statements which are defamatory to any person or defamatory to the Indian Army. Therefore, the ratio laid down in Javed Ahmad Hajam (Supra) and Kaushal Kishore (Supra) would not apply to the facts of the present case,' the Court noted. The matter pertains to a case filed against Mr. Gandhi by a former Border Roads Organisation (BRO) Director, Uday Shankar Srivastava, who alleged that his statements, given after a clash between the Indian and Chinese armies on December 9, 2022, had defamed the Indian Army. The remarks were made by Mr. Gandhi during the Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra on December 16, 2022. Also read: Rahul Gandhi's surrender barb insult of armed forces, says BJP The plea quoted Mr. Gandhi as allegedly saying, 'People will ask about Bharat Jodo Yatra, here and there, Ashok Gahlot and Sachin Pilot and whatnot. But they will not ask a single question about China capturing 2000 square kilometers of Indian territory, killing 20 Indian soldiers and thrashing our soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh. But the Indian press doesn't ask a question to them about this. Isn't it true? The nation is watching all this. Don't pretend that people don't know.' The lower court in Lucknow had in February summoned Mr. Gandhi in the case, following which the Congress leader approached the High Court. In his plea, Mr. Gandhi said the complainant was not an officer of the Indian Army and hence the defamation case did not hold water. While rejecting the contention of the Congress leader, the High Court noted that under Section 199(1) the Cr.P.C., a person other than the direct victim of an offence can also be considered an 'aggrieved person' if they are impacted by the offence.

Gujarat Congress demands CBI investigation into MNREGA scam
Gandhinagar: The state unit of the Congress party has demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the MNREGA scam in Gujarat. They alleged that minister Bachubhai Khabad, whose two sons were arrested for their involvement in the scam, is obstructing the investigation. Speaking to reporters in Gandhinagar, Amit Chavda, leader of the Congress Legislature Party, said that bills worth over Rs 3 crore were paid without any work being done under MNREGA on 12 land survey numbers belonging to Khabad's family. "We demand a CBI investigation into the scam. The minister has been obstructing the investigation in the case. Why has he not been removed from the cabinet?" Chavda questioned. Chavda said that despite the Congress submitting complaints with evidence of widespread MNREGA-related corruption, the govt has so far investigated cases only in Devgadh Baria and Dhanpur talukas. "A CBI probe will bring to the fore similar corruption cases in different districts," Chavda said.
