Students must work hard till the age of 25 for success: Telangana CM
Hyderabad, May 28 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wedneday urged students to dedicate themselves to hard work and education until the age of 25 to secure a successful and fulfilling life.
He emphasised that good jobs and a better future can only be achieved through consistent effort and education.
Speaking at the Gurukula Awards function held at Babu Jagjivan Ram Bhavan in Hyderabad on Wednesday, the Chief Minister paid tribute to Telangana stalwart Suravaram Pratap Reddy, noting that Telugu University has been named in his honour to recognise his contributions.
Similarly, a prominent women's university has been named after freedom fighter "Veeranari" Chakali Ilamma, highlighting the state's commitment to celebrating those who have fought for the people.
Revanth Reddy underlined that true legacy is built by serving society, not by one's caste identity. "The Congress is carrying forward the ideals of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution," he said.
He called on Dalits, Tribals, and other weaker sections to abandon feelings of inferiority and embrace self-confidence.
The Chief Minister announced the establishment of Young India Integrated Residential Schools, aimed at empowering underprivileged students to compete at global standards. 'Education is the only way to achieve recognition and upliftment in society,' he added.
Lashing out at the previous BRS government, the CM criticised their focus on schemes like goat, sheep, and fish distribution, while neglecting educational empowerment.
He questioned, 'Why didn't the BRS take steps to make the weaker sections stakeholders in governance through education? Isn't it true that they played with the lives of unemployed youth by not releasing job notifications for a decade?'
Highlighting the achievements of his administration, Revanth Reddy said the current government has filled 59,000 government jobs within a year, and successfully conducted Group 1 exams and announced results. He accused the opposition of deliberately obstructing appointment orders by filing court cases, turning the issue into a social problem.
The CM condemned the opposition for prioritising their own family members for posts soon after their electoral defeat, while simultaneously blocking job opportunities for the youth. He urged the younger generation to question BRS leaders when they visit and to expose their alleged conspiracies.
'Focus is essential,' the CM warned students. 'Getting distracted can lead to problems for your families. Don't let such situations arise. Be confident, excel, and make not just your parents, but also your state proud.'
Revanth Reddy also highlighted his government's inclusive approach, noting the appointment of the first Dalit Vice Chancellor in Osmania University's 100-year history, Aakunuri Murali as the Chairman of the Education Commission, and Gaddam Prasad Kumar as the Assembly Speaker. "These appointments are based on merit and education, not caste," he stated.
The CM said, 'The future of our country lies in the classrooms. I sincerely wish all students success in every field.' UNI VV SSP

India takes up with US case of Indian student's handcuffing in Newark Airport
New Delhi, June 10 (UNI) India has taken up with the US Embassy in New Delhi the case of an Indian student being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by US officials at Newark Airport before deportation. According to sources, the Ministry of External Affairs has formally raised the matter with the US Embassy in New Delhi. The Indian Embassy in Washington DC and the Indian Consulate in New York have also been in touch with the US authorities to ascertain the details of the case, the sources added. 'We so far have not received any details about the incident or the circumstances under which he was restrained, the flight he had to board or boarded and his final destination. We continue to follow up on the matter,' the sources added. A disturbing video of an Indian student being handcuffed and pinned to the ground by US officials at Newark Airport sparked outrage on Monday. The clip, filmed by Indian-American entrepreneur Kunal Jain, shows at least four officers restraining the student, with two kneeling on his back and with his hands tied. The Indian consulate general in New York yesterday said they had seen social media posts and were in touch with local authorities. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate today raised the issue at a press conference, where she said: "Indian origin students have been troubled, their visas are not getting processed, admissions are getting rejected... America sent back our 682 people handcuffed. Who gave them this right to treat people like animals? 'The American President is repeatedly insulting us. He took credit for the ceasefire and is equating us with Pakistan. He is threatening us with tariffs. Why is our country getting insulted like this?" UNI RN

Revanth meets Rahul Gandhi, portfolio reshuffle likely in the Cabinet
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's extended two-day visit to New Delhi and his meetings with the Congress high command, including a crucial one-on-one with Rahul Gandhi for 75 minutes, triggered strong speculation about the reshuffle in Cabinet portfolios in Telangana. While the official reason for the trip was to finalise portfolio allocations for the newly inducted ministers — G. Vivek Venkatswamy, Vakiti Srihari, and Adluri Laxman — sources suggest that the discussions went far beyond routine issues. The summoning of senior Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy to National Capital suggest that the party high command is serious on the reshuffle of the portfolios. There were rumours of Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka also being called, but his office confirmed his presence in Hyderabad. The Congress high command appears keen on ensuring that the allocation of portfolios aligns not just with governance priorities but also with political aspects in the wake of Congress party's push for greater representation of downtrodden sections. A senior leader indicated that the portfolio distribution may undergo notable adjustments based on strategic considerations. Among the newly inducted ministers, G. Vivek Venkatswamy is said to be actively lobbying for a significant portfolio, leveraging his proximity to the Central leadership and his father late Venkataswamy's connections with those who matter. Beyond the Cabinet issues, Mr. Revanth Reddy used the Delhi visit to invite Mr. Rahul Gandhi for the public meetings proposed to be organised to celebrate the party's successful attempts on BC caste survey and SC categorisation. The broader governance narratives like distribution of fine rice to more than 3 crore people, ending segregation of BC, SC, ST and Minority residential schools and Rising Telangana were also explained. It is also said that Mr. Revanth Reddy clarified on his comments describing his political journey as 'coming from BJP school, TDP college, and now working for Rahul Gandhi' that created a storm among political circles here.
