Memorial for former Rajya Sabha member Kollur Mallappa in Yadgir to be fulfilled soon
With the State Cabinet taking a decision, the long-pending demand of the people of Yadgir district to have a memorial for veteran leader and former Rajya Sabha member Kollur Mallappa will soon be fulfilled. On earlier occasions, veteran politician and Rajya Sabha MP M. Mallikarjun Kharge, who has great admiration for Mallappa for his selfless service to the people over several decades, had appealed to the Chief Minister to build a memorial for Mallappa. However, the proposed memorial work was somehow delayed. Meanwhile, Minister for Small Scale Industries and district in-charge Sharanabasappa Darshanapur met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and requested him to grant the required land free for the purpose. The Chief Minister, who earmarked ₹2 crore for the memorial, showed concern over building the memorial for the late politician during the recent Cabinet meeting and sanctioned 2.17 acres of land free as requested by Mr. Darshanapur. Mallappa was born to a Kuruba (Halumatha) community family in 1905 in Pogalapur village in Yadgir taluk. He developed patriotism from his childhood and met Mahatma Gandhi at Sabarmati Ashram in 1934. He was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and joined the Congress then. He also participated in the freedom movement against British rule and came in contact with Jawaharlal Nehru during Congress meeting at Mumbai in 1942 as he was the only politician from the Hyderabad Karnataka region to take part in that conference. He was known in the region for his fearless fight against Hyderabad Nizams and for that reason, he was jailed. After Independence, Mallappa was elected as a legislator from the Surpur Assembly Constituency in Kalaburagi district to the Hyderabad State Assembly in 1952. He was again elected from the Sedam Assembly Constituency to the Mysore State Assembly in 1957, after reorganisation of States. Mallappa shifted to Central politics after the former Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi got him elected to the Rajya Sabha. He, then, was elected thrice in 1968, 1974 and 1984. He was associated with many prominent Congress leaders of that era. Some of his followers say that Mallappa respectfully refused an offer given by Indira Gandhi to become Chief Minister of the State. Mallappa died in 2004, after a prolonged illness. The people of Yadgir district have expressed gratitude to the State government, especially Mr. Siddaramaiah, for respecting the Hyderabad-Karnataka Gandhi by building a memorial for Mallappa. Mr. Darshanapur, who wrote a letter to the Chief Minister and put pressure on the government to get sanctioned the required land for the memorial, has expressed his gratitude too. 'I will personally supervise the building of a memorial to make it a significant landmark in the district. I will take a delegation to meet the Chief Minister for an additional grant, if required, for the construction of a memorial,' the Minister added. Meanwhile, MLA Channareddy Patil Tunnur has thanked Mr. Siddaramaiah for his concern to building a memorial for Mallappa. 'His selfless service to the people is unparalleled. He remains a model for all politicians,' Mr. Tunnur said.

Op Sindoor feather in cap of Modi government? 100%, says Chandrababu Naidu
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday endorsed India's Operation Sindoor, saying it was a feather in the cap for the government and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a "global leader".In an exclusive interview with India Today TV's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai, Naidu said PM Modi played a role in halting the military conflict between India and Pakistan, saying his wisdom per cent. This (Operation Sindoor) is a feather in the cap of the Modi government. No other leader can do this so perfectly without precision. The Pahalgam terror attack was unfortunate and husbands were killed in front of their wives," he said. He said PM Modi named India's military operation as Sindoor to fulfill the sentiments of the Indian women and take revenge against terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack, which killed 25 tourists and a local."Within 20 minutes, we destroyed terror pockets and did not attack civilians and defence installations. The conflict ended at the right time. PM Modi ended the fighting. Is it not our credit? His wisdom prevailed. If the war is prolonged, then we will lose," Naidu Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, India destroyed terror camps at nine locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK), killing over 100 terrorists. Pakistan then escalated the situation, by firing a barrage of drones and missiles towards border cities and defence installations in India. However, India hit back and launched a counter-offensive, damaging several Pakistani military bases, before both countries agreed to stop about Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's claim whether India succumbed to the US's pressure, Naidu said there "was no need to surrender to anybody"."We have our own strategies. Who will control Trump? He will talk as he likes. But at the same time, the wisdom of PM Modi prevailed. We are very clear. We won't quarrel unnecessarily. If anybody comes after us, we won't leave them. We are capable of protecting our nation," he Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister said while India wants friendly relations with all countries, there was "no need to have any recommendation or support from anywhere"."PM Modi is emerging as a tall leader globally. That is the pride of our nation," he said.

BJP replying to Rahul's Maharashtra poll questions instead of EC confirms match-fixing: Chennithala
BJP leaders replying to Rahul Gandhi's questions on the 2024 Maharashtra polls instead of the Election Commission of India confirms the "match-fixing" charge, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said on Sunday (June 8, 2025). Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' article, with facts and figures to refute Mr. Gandhi's claims, was published in The Indian Express and the Marathi daily Loksatta during the day. Earlier, top BJP leaders, including party chief J.P. Nadda, had slammed Mr. Gandhi for casting aspersions on the country's electoral process. "BJP leaders are replying on behalf of the Election Commission, which is concerning. It only confirms that match-fixing did take place. Rahul Gandhi, in his detailed article, has exposed how the Maharashtra assembly elections were marred by fraud, manipulation, and a systematic violation of the people's mandate, amounting to a brutal assault on democracy," Mr. Chennithala said in a statement. The ECI must respond to serious questions raised by Mr. Gandhi, who has exposed a "disturbing truth", Mr. Chennithala said while asserting the happenings related to the state polls were not accidental but a meticulously-planned operation. "Maharashtra, once a beacon of democratic values, is now witnessing a deep erosion of those values. The Congress has been consistently following up with the Election Commission, but so far, the responses have been superficial and unsatisfactory," the AICC in charge for the state said. Mr. Chennithala said when the Chandigarh High Court ordered the release of CCTV footage in connection with the Haryana assembly polls, the Union government, with help from the EC, changed the rules and blocked that information. "Why was that done? And for whose benefit?" he asked. The Maharashtra polls involved manipulation in the voter list, large-scale bogus voting and artificial inflation of vote percentages, Chennithala alleged. "In the Lok Sabha election, Congress and its allies won a sweeping mandate. Then how could the outcome reverse so drastically within just five months? This reeks of electoral fraud," he said. The refusal to conduct a mock drill in Markadwadi (where some people sought a repoll after alleging EVM manipulation) itself is a sign that something was being hidden, he added. The BJP and EC are trying to hide the truth but the Congress will pursue it relentlessly till democratic integrity is restored, Chennithala asserted.
