K Chandrasekhar Rao faces internal turmoil as daughter Kavitha's letter stirs unrest in BRS
HYDERABAD: On Friday, a day after a bombshell in the form of a letter written by his daughter exploded in public, the focus shifted to K Chandrasekhar Rao, the once-unassailable patriarch of the BRS. He is now facing what many in Telangana's political corridors are calling the unkindest cut of all.
While the contents of BRS MLC K Kavitha's letter are now public, it is not what she wrote but how KCR will respond that has gripped the imagination of the party's leaders and cadre, and KCR's rivals alike.
Having receded from the centre stage following the BRS's electoral setbacks and dealing with the recent summons by the PC Ghose Commission probing the allegations of irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project, KCR would certainly not have preferred any troubles, trivial or major, from within his own family.
Unlike in the past, when leaders like Eatala Rajender were expelled from the party for dissent, the question KCR faces now is not of discipline but of kinship.

Teachers demand breakfast, snacks for students in all govt schools
Hyderabad: As the new academic year begins, govt school teachers have urged the state govt to provide breakfast and snacks in addition to the mid-day meal for all students in state-run schools. They pointed out that the previous BRS govt had introduced a breakfast scheme in one school per mandal during the end of their term, but it was discontinued after the new govt took charge. "Currently, no school is serving breakfast. The state govt must urgently address this and ensure that all children receive breakfast, snacks along with a nutritious and well-balanced lunch," said Chava Ravi, general secretary of the Telangana State United Teachers Federation. Teachers also demanded that every primary school should have one teacher per class, regardless of student strength. At present, schools with 11 to 60 students are allotted two teachers, while those with 60 to 90 students get three teachers for classes 1 to 5. They further called for the introduction of pre-primary classes in all govt schools to boost enrolment. Other long-standing demands include addressing the needs of staff in KGBVs, model schools, and gurukuls, and clearing pending bills.

Cong committed to completing Palamuru-Rangareddy project: Bhatti
1 2 Hyderabad: Deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka on Friday said the Congress govt will complete the long-delayed Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme to turn barren lands fertile. Speaking at a public meeting in Devarakadra after laying foundation stones for 12 new power sub-stations in Mahbubnagar district, Bhatti slammed the previous BRS regime. "Not a drop of water flowed from their irrigation projects. They looted in the name of development and now act like saviours. Even their own family members are exposing them," he said. He assured that funds for relief, rehabilitation, and land acquisition would be released immediately. "We inherited a ₹8 lakh crore debt, yet we're fixing the economy, increasing revenues, and ensuring they reach the poor through welfare schemes," he added. On the power front, Bhatti said Telangana has met record-high demand and is preparing for a projected 33,775 MW requirement by 2035, with plans for solar, green energy, and thermal projects already underway.

State cabinet to meet twice a month to keep T on growth track
Hyderabad: The state govt has decided to hold cabinet meetings twice a month. This decision aligns with the Union cabinet's schedule, aiming to ensure that 'Viksit Bharat' is achieved, with Telangana setting its targets, sources said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The bi-monthly cabinet meetings will also ensure that there are no delays in making policy decisions, implementing welfare schemes and carrying out developmental projects. It was also decided to reduce bureaucratic distance with the Centre and this will involve state officers working closely with the central govt to secure more funding. "There was a disconnect between the previous BRS and the central govt, which could lead to losses for the state. The govt is determined to maximise its benefits, and for that, frequent communication between the bureaucracy at both state and central levels is essential. This approach will be adopted moving forward," a source said. Additionally, state-level officials will now be sent for training in central govt departments. "This time, top-level coordination will yield positive outcomes and maximise results for the state," a source said.
