Revanth should take lie detector test, not enact notices drama: KTR
Hyderabad: The BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Friday asked Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to stop the notices drama and face a lie detector test.
The BRS leader strongly criticized Revanth Reddy for repeatedly issuing ACB notices in the Formula-E race case, calling it a diversion tactic to distract the public from his administrative failures. KTR alleged that the Congress government, having come to power on false promises, has now resorted to 'circus-like distractions' to cover up its incompetence. 'This joker Chief Minister is donning a new disguise each day to shift focus from his governance failures. No matter how many notices he sends, this bankrupt Congress government cannot stop us from being the voice of the people of Telangana,' KTR warned.
The BRS leader further said that Rs 44 crore was transferred transparently and officially from the HMDA's government account to the Formula-E organizers and that the money still remains in the Formula-E organization's account. 'Yet, the CM, who has failed to retrieve this money due to sheer administrative incapacity, is now once again using ACB notices to create a political spectacle,' he said.

Close watch on ward delimitation, process should be fair: Satej Patil
Kolhapur: State govt assumed control of ward restructuring for local body elections from the state election commission two years ago. Congress MLC Satej Patil , who heads the party in the state legislative council, said the Maha Vikas Aghadi opposes this move and will monitor the ward structuring closely, as it could influence voting patterns in favour of those managing the process. Patil talked on this topic while attending a notebook distribution event for students, a charitable initiative he has maintained for 20 years on his birthday. He said the ward structuring and delimitation process for municipal corporations, zilla parishads, and municipal councils has begun, following the Supreme Court's directive to align with the 2011 census. "Two years ago, govt took the authority to carry out the delimitation of the wards to itself — urban development department and rural development department. We object to this. However, we want all the officers chairing the process to not get under pressure and carry out the delimitation fairly. Maha Vikas Aghadi is keeping a close watch on the delimitation process for every ward across the state," said Patil. The recent departure of several close associates to other parties has been viewed as a setback for Patil and Congress. "Similar situations have come in my life multiple times. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Florencio Varela (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo Who left doesn't affect us at all.

People have not liked the recent political developments," said Patil. Regarding Gokul Dairy's political situation, Patil acknowledged feeling isolated. Minister Hasan Mushrif, whose son Navid became the dairy's chairman, said: "Him saying that he is left alone is, in a way, accepting defeat before the struggle. People start leaving when someone says something with a defeatist mindset. They should instead say that they will struggle and win."

10 talathis suspended in Jalna farmer compensation scam, FIR likely
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Jalna district administration suspended 10 talathis on Friday for their alleged involvement in misappropriating Rs 34.97 crore of crop compensation meant for farmers. This action follows the findings of a govt-appointed probe committee that identified significant irregularities in how the aid was distributed. Jalna district collector Shrikrishna Panchal verified the suspensions and said additional disciplinary actions are in progress. "Showcause notices were earlier issued to all the officials named in the report. Based on their replies and the severity of charges, we have suspended 10 talathis so far," he said. Sources said authorities are considering filing police complaints against the guilty parties. A senior official told TOI: "Departmental action has already started, and the possibility of criminal proceedings, including an FIR, is being discussed at a senior level." The irregularities came to light during an audit of Rs 79 crore disbursed as crop loss compensation for damage caused by excessive rainfall, floods, and hailstorms in 2022, 2023, and 2024. This amount was part of a larger Rs 450crore compensation package for the Jalna district. The investigation discovered claims were made even on govt-owned class-II lands. The investigation revealed that Rs 34.97 crore, from the Rs 79 crore allotment, was misappropriated through fraudulent inclusion of ineligible beneficiaries. The deception involved the manipulation of beneficiary records from Ambad and Ghansawangi talukas, affecting 1.79 lakh farmer accounts. The investigation extends to gram sevaks and agricultural assistants, with departmental proceedings anticipated. Officials continue to examine the remaining Rs 7 crore from the audited amount, assuring that legitimate farmers will not suffer due to these corrective measures. BJP MLA Narayan Kuche and former minister Babanrao Lonikar want FIRs to be filed against govt officials at all levels for allegedly diverting funds intended for farmers.
