JP Nadda Apologizes To Kharge After Uproar Over 'Lost Mental Balance' Remark
'If You Have Guts Like Indira Gandhi...': Rahul Gandhi Dares Modi To Call Out Trump's Ceasefire Lie In a blistering attack during the Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the Modi government of lacking the political will and tying the hands of the Indian Air Force. He claimed that India's political leadership forbade the targeting of Pakistan's military infrastructure during the retaliation, leading to the loss of aircraft. Rahul challenged PM Modi to address Donald Trump's 'ceasefire announcement' and accused the Centre of declaring premature victory while the operation was still underway. He likened today's leadership with Indira Gandhi's boldness in 1971 and slammed what he called the 'madness' of equating every terror attack with war. His fiery remarks have sparked fierce reactions across the aisle, reigniting debates around strategic autonomy, political responsibility, and India's military doctrine.

Smart ration cards to be given to 1.45 crore beneficiaries in A.P. from August 25
Andhra Pradesh Minister for Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Nadendla Manohar announced that smart ration cards will be distributed free of cost to 1.45 crore beneficiaries across the State from August 25 to 31. At a press conference at the Secretariat here on Tuesday, he said the distribution will take place through constituency-level events led by MLAs, district-level programmes by Ministers, and State-wide events under the leadership of the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister. Andhra Pradesh became the first State in India to complete 96.05% KYC for ration cards. About 11.47 lakh people, aged either under five years or above 80, are exempt from KYC. Out of over 16 lakh change requests in ration cards, more than 15 lakh have been approved, Mr. Manohar said. Nearly 9.87 lakh new members have been added, bringing the total beneficiary count to 4.29 crore. Of these, 2.68 crore will receive ration from the Centre and 1.61 crore from the State. The smart cards, similar to debit/credit cards, include the head of household's photo, member names, and are linked via dynamic QR codes for real-time tracking. From next month, ration shops will operate on a fixed schedule. Home delivery continues for the elderly and physically-challenged pensioners. The State has also successfully implemented the Deepam-2 LPG subsidy scheme, transferring over ₹1,500 crore directly into beneficiaries' accounts, the Minister said.

Sabari rail project: Railway Board holds meet with Chief Secretary
A team from the Railway Board held discussions with Chief Secretary A. Jayathilak in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday to explore ways to take the Sabari Rail project forward. Official sources said the delegation, which included Additional Railway Board Member Rajesh Agarwal, Chief Administrative Officer Om Prakash, and Kerala Rail Development Corporation (KRDC) Managing Director Ajith Kumar, held deliberations on cost-sharing arrangements and land acquisition for the project. Another round of meeting to deliberate in detail on these aspects will be held soon While the State government has expressed only conditional willingness to share project costs, the Railways continue to insist on a 50:50 cost-sharing model. It has also asked the State to bear a portion of the expenditure already incurred. In addition, the State is expected to complete land acquisition up to Erumely. The Railways have agreed to begin construction once this is achieved. The 110-km Angamaly–Erumely route was first announced in the Railway Budget for 1997–98. So far, land has been acquired for an 8-km stretch and construction has been completed on a 7-km section between Angamaly and Kalady.
