Raise important issues in Parliament, mobilise maximum funds from Centre, Naidu tells TDP MPs
Chief Minister and TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday directed the TDP MPs to raise important issues like the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for various crops, utilisation of the Godavari and Krishna river waters and the support required by Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) for industrial development in the upcoming session of Parliament. Addressing the Telugu Desam Parliamentary Party (TDPP) meeting in the run-up to the monsoon session of Parliament beginning on July 21, Mr. Naidu said the MPs should make the best use of the time allotted to them by highlighting the issues related to the State and strive to mobilise the maximum possible amount of funds from the Centre for implementing various schemes and projects. He also wanted the MPs to duly apprise the Parliament of the steps taken by the A.P. Government for the development of the State. The MPs should take the Central support required by the State to the notice of the nation through the Parliament. The CM said, department-wise responsibilities were assigned to the MPs and called upon them to keep in regular touch with the Union Ministers concerned to resolve matters pertaining to the State, and to focus on garnering additional funds under schemes like the Jal Jeevan Mission and Ayushman Bharat. Mr. Naidu told the MPs to be updated and fully acquainted with the issues dealt by them in order to make forceful arguments on contentious matters, like he articulated the State's position on certain issues in the recent meeting with the Union Minister for Jal Shakti, C.R. Patil and Telangana CM A. Revanth Reddy. He instructed the MPs to speak about the good work being done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and to actively participate in discussions on topics like Operation Sindoor and the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, and counselled them not to interfere in unnecessary matters in their constituencies as such behaviour would tarnish their personal reputation as well as the party's. Union Ministers K. Rammohan Naidu and Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, MP Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu and IT Minister and the party's national general secretary Nara Lokesh were among those present in the deliberations.

Hindutva teaches ahimsa, not weakness: Shivraj Chouhan's 'Hindi Chini' dig at Nehru
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Hindutva is deeply ingrained in Bharat's soil and water, as it is a way of life that believes in universal love and non-violence. Chouhan took a veiled dig at the 'Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai' catchphrase popularised by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the years leading to India's 1962 war with China, stating that the non-violence practised in Hindutva does not imply an exclusive interview with India Today TV's Executive Editor Preeti Choudhary, the Union Minister said, "We believe in non-violence, but that is only possible with strength. If we keep on saying 'Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai' and China comes and captures your land, this is called weakness." Chouhan pointed out that Hindutva seeks happiness and well-being for all, which is reflected in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas." However, he added that while Hindutva wishes good for everyone, it does not extend that goodwill to those who seek to harm the country. "PM Modi has shown the way — if anyone raises a finger at India, we will not let them go... Surgical strikes, air strikes, Operation Sindoor — without such actions, India would cease to exist," he stressed that it is very important for India to be strong and self-reliant in order for it to practice and preach non-violence to the world."The senior BJP leader also said that the core principle of Hindutva is based on sarva dharma sambhava (equal respect for all religions). "We have imbibed this in Bharat's soil and water... we love everyone," he said.- Ends
