Revanth unveils vision for ‘Brand Hyderabad'
2
Hyderabad: Chief minister A
Revanth Reddy
on Friday reaffirmed his govt's commitment to strengthen 'Brand Hyderabad' while unveiling that the ambitious vision document TelanganaRising–2047 will be released before Dec 9.
"Our strength is Hyderabad, which is a brand on the world stage. The state govt has already organised several international events in the city and introduced our vision to the world. We have envisaged a master plan for the development of the entire Telangana — from the revival of the Musi river to the agricultural growth of rural Telangana. This document promises a happy life for the people of Hyderabad and Telangana with peace, tranquility, and a clean environment," he said in his Independence Day address from Golconda Fort.
The CM said the TelanganaRising–2047 blueprint would showcase ideas, innovations, and implementation strategies for transformative projects that enhance Hyderabad's brand image and make it a clean, beautiful, and globally competitive city. A key highlight is the Musi rejuvenation project, which aims to provide a permanent solution to the city's flooding problem.

"The vision document also reveals how India's Future City, built to international standards, will be a gateway to the modern world.
In TelanganaRising–2047, we clearly explain how the Regional Ring Road will play a vital role in the state's growth," Revanth said.
The plan includes major infrastructure and industrial initiatives — Gandhi Sarovar at Bapu Ghat, greenfield highways, dry ports, the second phase of the metro rail, radial roads between the Outer and Regional Ring Roads, ring railway lines, new airports at Warangal and Adilabad, and industrial corridors connecting Hyderabad to Nagpur, Bengaluru, and Vijayawada.
"Our goal is to implement this resolution and make Telangana a key player in the country's progress by 2047," the CM asserted.
Revanth also spotlighted Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Montoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) as a cornerstone of his clean, green, and flood-resilient city agenda. "Cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Chennai are facing severe flooding. Hyderabad should never face such a plight.
HYDRAA was created to curb tank encroachments and make Hyderabad a safe city to live in," he said.
He recalled how previous govts had failed to act against encroachments on lands, ponds, and canals due to the absence of a credible system. HYDRAA, he said, had changed that perception. So far, HYDRAA has protected 13 parks and 20 lakes from encroachment, revived the Bathukamma Kunta water body, and safeguarded govt lands worth ₹30,000 crore.
"People are praising HYDRAA, but opposition parties are using it as a political weapon. My appeal is for people to compare the past with the present — today, even after heavy rains, HYDRAA resolves traffic issues and diverts floodwater within an hour or two. It acts against illegal constructions and restores ponds," he said.
He accused the opposition of deliberately portraying HYDRAA as a failed system. "Leaders who want our city to remain a water pool and for the poor to suffer during heavy rains are opposing HYDRAA. They are trying to create unrest among the poor by misleading them. People should protect this great system that protects Hyderabad," the CM added.

No foreign voters in Bihar SIR list; Modi brings divisive agenda: CPI(ML)
Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya has welcomed the interim order of the Supreme Court on the special intensive revision (SIR) of the voters list in Bihar. He said the Election Commission of India (ECI) is forced to back off from its stand on the matter and hoped that the poll body will ensure transparency in preparing voters' lists and provide details for the reasons of the omission of voters published in the draft list. Countering Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement on Independence Day that illegal immigration is threatening the country's demography, Mr. Bhattacharya said the SIR exercise in Bihar did not bring out a single case of illegal immigrants in the State. 'PM Modi gave his longest Independence Day speech, but the important point is that the theme of Independence Day is now being reduced to partition. It is as if the government is trying to finish the incomplete agenda of partition,' he said. He maintained that out of the 65 lakh voters who have been disenfranchised, no one was a foreign national. 'But once again, Modi ji has brought back that agenda, completely unsubstantiated, the bogey of illegal immigration, infiltration. And the things that they are doing to change our demography, taking away all jobs, occupying land, getting married to women and forcing conversion. This is a total anti-immigrant agenda of the RSS and BJP. This is what led to partition, perhaps they want another partition...' he said. He asked how the Centre concluded on the number of foreign nationals entering India illegally, when there has been no Census since 2011. 'It has created a tone of terror in the country, it has created major insecurity, and when you sort of view it together with the ongoing SIR, the backdoor NRC, the ongoing so-called police verification drive, the MHA circular, so it creates before us the danger of a huge social division and the creation of a permanent category of disenfranchised people,' he said.

Congress leader equates RSS with Taliban after PM's praise in I-Day speech
A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) during his Independence Day address from the Red Fort, Karnataka Congress leader BK Hariprasad on Saturday hit back, calling the right-wing group 'Indian Taliban' and accusing it of disturbing peace in the country.'They (RSS) are trying to disturb peace in the country. I will only equate RSS with Taliban, they are Indian Taliban and PM is appreciating them from Red Fort,' Hariprasad told news agency The former Rajya Sabha MP also raised questions over the organisation's legal status and funding. 'Was there any 'Sanghi' who participated in the freedom struggle? The man who spoke from the Red Fort yesterday... It's a shame that RSS is not a registered organisation. We don't know where they get funds. Any NGO that wants to work in the country should register, as per the Constitution,' he went on to allege that the BJP and RSS were 'masters of twisting history' and accused them of attempting to rewrite the narrative of Partition. His remark was in reference to an NCERT module that holds Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Congress, and then Viceroy Lord Mountbatten responsible for the partition. The module, released to mark Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, has evoked a sharp reaction from the Congress.'It was Fazlul Huq and Syama Prasad Mookerjee who moved the first resolution in Bengal for the Partition. Jinnah and Savarkar were of the opinion that both religions need a separate state. They are trying to blame Congress for it,' he told MODI'S PRAISE FOR RSSIn his Independence Day address on Friday, Prime Minister Modi had lauded the RSS, which is set to complete 100 years later this year, describing it as the 'world's biggest NGO' with a 'very proud and glorious' journey of national service.'For the past 100 years, the RSS swayamsevaks have been dedicating their lives to fulfil the resolve of vyakti nirman (character development) and rashtra nirman (nation building) for the welfare of matrubhoomi (motherland),' the Prime Minister, a former RSS pracharak, Congress, however, has consistently disputed the RSS's legacy. Party leaders including Manickam Tagore and Supriya Shrinate criticised the Prime Minister's remarks, insisting that the organisation stayed away from the freedom struggle and instead spread 'hate and division.'The RSS will mark its centenary celebrations in October this year, coinciding with Vijaya Dashami.- Ends

21 deported to Bangladesh, says Assam CM
Guwahati: Security forces in Assam have deported 21 people to Bangladesh who allegedly illegally entered the state's Sribhumi district earlier in the week, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency "Freedom at midnight? Quite literally!" Sarma posted on 'X' on Friday. He said the process of identification and pushback of illegal migrants would continue. Authorities have, of late, pushed back some 400 people who have tried to enter the state from neighbouring Bangladesh. Of these, around 58 were alone in Sribhumi district. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the state, Debabrata Saikia, has written to home minister Amit Shah, urging that security along the Assam-Bangladesh border should be strengthened. "I am writing to bring to your kind attention the recurring "pushback" operations being undertaken by the Assam Police along the Assam-Bangladesh border since May 2025," he said in his letter, a copy of which ET has reviewed. "The state government has on multiple occasions, acknowledged such operations and deportations of undocumented Bangladeshi nationals, which raises critical questions about the efficacy of our border management framework and the current coordination mechanisms." Live Events He wrote that as per official statements, a new strategy of pushback was announced on May 10 this year. It was followed by operations starting on May 23, in which over 50 individuals were apprehended. The subsequent operations on May 31, June 8, June 27, July 6, and August 3 led to the repatriation of over 300 individuals. He said these operations, despite the deployment of the Border Security Force across the 267.5-km stretch of the Assam-Bangladesh border, suggest that infiltration continues to be a serious challenge.
