Double standards of Centre and State govt. exposed one more time, alleges KTR
HYDERABAD Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao has ridiculed the double standards of the NDA government and the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA), stating that they are not acting on the sinking of the coffer dam of the Polavaram project for the second time. In a statement, Mr. Rao said on Saturday that the NDSA had not taken up investigation into the washing away of the Polavaram cofferdam in 2020 that happened for the first time, even after being asked to go into the matter. The NDA government gave national project status to Polavaram and funded its construction - but is not looking into the quality aspects of construction, he said. During the run-up to the last Assembly elections in Telangana, a few piers of the Medigadda Barrage of Kaleshwaram project sank and damaged the structure under suspicious circumstances, but neither the BJP leaders nor those of the Congress, who had been indulging in mudslinging on Kaleshwaram project continuously, and terming it as 'kuleshwaram' (a collapsed project) repeatedly - had raised an issue on Polavaram, Mr. Rao said. He sought to know if the BJP and the Congress have the guts to term Polavaram as 'kulavaram' since its coffer dam was washed away once and sunk for the second time. In the second instance, it sunk for 10 meters width and about 8 meters deep, and the Andhra Pradesh government had taken up repairs on a war-footing silently, he said. On the other hand, the 'foolishness' of the Congress government is preventing it from taking up repairs on Medigadda Barrage and in giving water to the large ayacut depending on waters lifted from the point, even 20 months after coming to power, he said. Further, the NDSA proved its double standards by not taking up investigation into the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse in February that buried eight workers, technicians and engineers alive. It is also indicative of the Congress-BJP conspiracy against Kaleshwaram, he alleged.

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
