Jagan assures support to MDU operators
Tadepalli: YSRCP president and Former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy met representatives of the Mobile Dispensing Unit (MDU) Union from Krishna district at the party's central office here, where they expressed anguish over the TDP-led coalition government's decision to dismantle the MDU system.
This move has stripped livelihoods from nearly 9,260 operators and 10,000 helpers' families, leaving them in distress. Jagan assured steadfast support, declaring, 'YSRCP will stand by MDU operators and fight to restore their dignity and livelihoods.'
P Shyam Babu, President of the MDU Union, Krishna district, condemned the government for crippling the public distribution system, alleging that ration rice is now being diverted to the black market, with dealers caught red-handed.
'The government falsely blamed MDUs for rice pilferage, but their own ration shops are failing the public. People face endless queues and server issues, while our vehicle loans remain unpaid,' he stated. Shyam Babu praised Jagan for launching the MDU system, which empowered thousands of families to deliver essentials door-to-door.
'We shared our plight with the former chief minister and YSRCP chief, and he promised to support us unequivocally,' he added.

Germany's defence awakening is rooted in geopolitical realities
Germany's post-World War II identity has long rested on pacifism, diplomacy, and a deep aversion to military assertiveness. It changed dramatically in 2022 when Russia's invasion of Ukraine jolted Berlin into a strategic reset. Chancellor Olaf Scholz called it a Zeitenwende — a turning point — announcing Germany would commit 2 per cent of its GDP to defence spending and create a €100 billion special fund to modernise the Bundeswehr. It marked a historic departure from decades of military restraint. In 2025, the new Chancellor Friedrich Merz doubled down on this trajectory. In his first address to the Bundestag, Merz vowed to transform the Bundeswehr into 'the strongest conventional army in Europe.' He coupled this with a sweeping economic recovery package and a tough new migration policy. 'Germany and Europe must become so strong together that we never have to use our weapons,' he said. To realise this vision, Merz pledged unlimited financial backing for the military, and suggested that Germany would shoulder greater responsibility within NATO and the European Union. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius echoed this ambition, suggesting a long-term goal of raising defence spending to as much as 5 per cent of GDP — a dramatic leap from the current ~2 per cent. The Merz-led coalition secured a key parliamentary provision: Defence spending beyond 1 per cent of GDP would be exempt from the constitutionally enshrined 'debt brake'. The legal framework is in place. The ambition is clear. But will the German public support hold? Initially, it seemed so. In 2022, the emotional shock of war in Europe led to broad support for increased military expenditure. Nearly 70 per cent of Germans backed the move — remarkable in a country so wary of militarism. The special fund enabled Germany to order F-35 fighter jets, procure Israel's Arrow 3 missile defence system, invest in cyber capabilities, and digitise command operations. For many, this was not militarism, but a belated correction of decades of underinvestment. But by 2025, that enthusiasm has tapered. A Koerber Stiftung poll from November 2024 found that while 73 per cent of Germans favoured greater investment in European security, 58 per cent opposed Germany playing a leading role if the US retreated from global affairs. Currently, around 55 per cent support strengthening national defence. Support for the far-right AfD, which advocates a more restrained defence posture, has grown. Cracks are appearing in the national consensus. Several fault lines now threaten the sustainability of Germany's defence transformation. First, economic concerns are mounting. Inflation, stagnation, and budget constraints have sharpened debates over fiscal priorities. Critics ask whether Germany can afford to spend billions on tanks and jets while underfunding schools, housing, and its energy transition. With austerity on the horizon, Germans are being forced to choose between security and social services. Many want both — but doubt whether both are affordable. Second, implementation has been slower than expected. Bureaucratic inertia, procurement delays, and supply chain disruptions have hampered progress. The Bundeswehr remains under-equipped in key areas. Reports of soldiers lacking basic gear persist, and many major systems are still years from deployment. If voters perceive the Zeitenwende as mostly talk with little delivery, support will wane further. Third, Germany's pacifist tradition remains strong. On the political left and among younger voters, scepticism toward militarisation is pronounced. Some fear entanglement in foreign wars; others are uneasy with NATO's expanding mission. In eastern Germany, with its historic links to Russia and persistent economic grievances, alignment with the West is more contested. The political implications are complicated. Defence expansion finds strongest support among Merz's CDU/CSU and the SPD. The Greens, though supportive of Ukraine, are divided between their anti-war roots and current geopolitical realities. The Free Democrats (FDP) support spending but worry about fiscal discipline. Meanwhile, Die Linke and the AfD oppose rearmament from opposite ideological perspectives. Parliamentary arithmetic could thus prove tricky, despite constitutional backing for the special fund. Another challenge: Any defence procurement over €25 million still requires approval from the Bundestag's Budget Committee. This postwar safeguard against militarism makes defence planning highly sensitive to shifting coalitions, public opinion, and political bargaining. There's no doubt that Zeitenwende marks a new era. For the first time since reunification, Germany is taking its defence obligations seriously. NATO allies — especially in Eastern Europe — have welcomed the shift. Even the US, long frustrated by Germany's military hesitancy, acknowledged the change during Chancellor Merz's visit to Washington on June 6, with Donald Trump cautiously commending the new direction. But transformation requires more than budgets and weapons — it needs a cultural shift. Germany must forge a new strategic consensus: That military readiness is a safeguard for peace, not a threat to it. This demands political leadership, public dialogue, and tangible improvements in the Bundeswehr's capabilities. Critics who argue that defence spending diverts resources from social needs often ignore a fundamental truth: Without security, prosperity cannot be sustained. Germany's export-driven economy depends on a stable global order — one now threatened by Russian aggression, cyberwarfare, terrorism, and authoritarianism. The days of complacency are over. At the same time, defence advocates must tread carefully. German strategic culture remains cautious. Any sense that the Bundeswehr is being rebuilt for adventurism — or that civil liberties are being eroded in the name of security — could provoke backlash. Transparency, restraint, and adherence to democratic norms are essential. Germany's real test lies not just in spending more, but in spending wisely. That means delivering visible outcomes: Enhanced operational readiness, better troop morale, and credible deterrence. It also means preserving democratic values while projecting stability. The Zeitenwende Plus is not a singular moment but a sustained commitment. Germany must internalise that its global role has changed — not just because of Ukraine, but because the geopolitical environment demands it. A well-equipped, principled Germany can be a pillar of European security — but only if its leaders bring the public with them, not only in moments of crisis, but through steady, transparent governance. In the end, Germany's defence awakening will not be measured by euros spent — but by what it defends, and how.

Congress opted for fresh caste census to make up for image lost in Bengaluru stampede: Shobha Karandlaje
Congress high command asked Karnataka government to conduct a fresh caste census to make up for the damage to the image of the party in the Bengaluru stampede in which 11 persons died, Shobha Karandlaje, Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, said in Mangaluru on June 12. Speaking to press persons in the BJP's district office, Ms. Karandlaje said that the stampede tarnished the image of the Congress-led State Government. 'The Congress high command's decision to opt for a re-enumeration of castes is to divert the attention from the stampede deaths,' the Union Minister said. Ms. Karandlaje said that the decision is also aimed at dividing the castes further by breaking them into pieces at the deeper level. The Union Minister alleged that the Congress, through caste census, wants to project that minorities are in large numbers in Karnataka. 'It is to help them get reservation benefits. Those who are in majority in Karnataka should understand this design (to help the minorities) of the Congress,' she said. The Union minister wondered how the fresh census can be conducted in just three months as being planned now. CM not attending Niti Aayog meetings To a question, Ms. Karandlaje said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has not attended any meeting of Niti Aayog. 'If he (Mr. Siddaramaiah) is not attending any meeting, how can he put forth the development proposals of Karnataka?' The Union Minister alleged that Mr. Siddaramaiah is only interested in 'playing drama with the guarantee schemes of the State Government'. Ms. Karandlaje alleged that Karnataka government is not handing over land for projects of railways, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and for Namma Metro projects in Bengaluru. 'In the federal structure, the State Government should hand over land for projects of the Union Government. The State should also send its development project proposals to the Union Government if Karnataka is to flourish. But the Congress government is not interested in both,' she alleged. The Union Minister inaugurated a workshop for BJP workers organised on the occasion of Narendra Modi-led Union Government completing 11 years in administration.

'The government has given utmost importance to the construction of key projects like Amaravati capital city and Polavaram, which have potential to transform the economic landscape of AP,' Rao hailed. He said although the government has launched many policies to strengthen the MSME ecosystem in the State, MSMEs are facing a lot of hardships due to the rise in production costs, drop in demand due to global economic downturn. 'We urge the government to come to the aid of the MSMEs by releasing the long-pending incentives,' he said. 'We request the government to look into the power charges for industries. The bringing down of charges will offer a big relief to industries,' he said.
