Telangana BJP chief Subhash slams government for changing name of Annapurna Canteens
Criticising the decision, BJP state chief spokesperson NV Subhash said: 'Annapurna is not just a name. It symbolises Goddess Annapurna, the divine mother who nourishes the world. To replace such a sacred name with that of a political leader, and that too Indira Gandhi, whose regime imposed the Emergency — the darkest chapter of Indian democracy — is nothing short of an insult to Hindu traditions and collective national memory.'
In a press statement issued here, Subhash called the government's decision an 'unwarranted, insensitive and politically motivated' move and a direct affront to the sentiments of the Hindu majority, and yet another attempt to erase cultural symbols deeply rooted in India's civilisational identity.

Trump tariffs-A dark cloud and a silver lining
US President Donald Trump has suffered a bad press in India. Still, it is indisputable that the crisis his tariffs have triggered for our economy may not be such a bad thing: it has already goaded the government to reset the GST and FDI regimes. It is a truism that crises force governments into long-overdue reforms, and the present turbulence may, paradoxically, prove to be an inflection point for India's economy. Early signs indicate that Trump's tariffs have broken the policy inertia of the Narendra Modi government; it is rethinking the goods and services tax (GST), foreign direct investment (FDI), and export promotion policies. The government is reportedly working on a 100-day reform agenda prepared by the Commerce & Industry Ministry. It is not merely a firefighting exercise but a comprehensive strategy to improve India's global competitiveness. This is significant because, for too long, India has managed its trade policies reactively, focusing on ad hoc measures rather than laying down forward-looking, structural reforms. Another key area under review is the GST regime. While GST has streamlined indirect taxation, its complexity and compliance burdens have stifled smaller exporters and startups. Rationalising and reducing GST slabs, simplifying compliance, and ensuring quicker refunds could ease liquidity pressures and incentivise export-oriented businesses. If the current crisis accelerates this process, Indian exporters may be better positioned in the medium term, not just against US tariffs but also against rising competition from countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh. Equally important is the prospect of further liberalising the FDI regime. India has already been one of the top global recipients of foreign investment, but procedural hurdles, sectoral restrictions, and unpredictable regulatory interventions have often diluted the benefits. A push to ease investments—particularly from neighbouring countries and emerging Asian markets—signals a pragmatic recognition that India must diversify its capital inflows rather than remain overly reliant on Western investors. Such reforms could open up capital for high-growth sectors like digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing. The government's reported plan to provide more tax incentives for startups also reflects an awareness of the shifting global economic landscape. With traditional manufacturing exports facing headwinds, India must increasingly rely on knowledge-driven industries, digital services, and innovative startups to power growth. A supportive tax regime, combined with easier access to foreign capital, could help create globally competitive unicorns and deepen India's digital economy. Then there are proposals to ease certain environmental norms for the leather and footwear sectors. These industries employ millions, generate significant export revenues, and are heavily labour-intensive—precisely the kind of sectors India needs to expand if it hopes to absorb its growing workforce. While the idea is good, the government must ensure that this easing remains focused on cutting red tape; there should be no adverse impact on the environment. On the export infrastructure front, the emphasis on establishing e-commerce hubs and fast-tracking initiatives like BharatTradeNet is timely. Global trade is increasingly digital, and seamless integration of logistics, customs, testing, and certification into unified platforms could sharply reduce transaction costs for exporters. By enabling smaller firms and startups to tap global markets with fewer bureaucratic hurdles, such steps could democratise trade opportunities across sectors and geographies. If all these reforms are implemented effectively, they could make India's export basket more resilient and its domestic economy more attractive for investment.

Problems of farmers have only intensified: BJD
Bargarh: Calling the ruling BJP 'anti-farmer,' the Opposition Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Monday held a farmers' rally in Bargarh, Odisha's rice bowl, demanding a minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 3,100 per quintal for paddy, simplification of Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) norms and an end to farmer exploitation during procurement. The rally, attended by thousands of farmers from all the districts of the State's western region, criticised the BJP government's agriculture policy in Odisha. Speaking at the event, BJD MLA and farmers' wing leader Prasanna Acharya alleged that in the last 14 months under the 'double-engine government,' the problems of Odisha's farmers have only intensified. 'The BJP promised a lot, but farmers have only faced increasing exploitation and systemic failures,' Acharya claimed. The party submitted a memorandum to the Bargarh District Collector, to be conveyed to the President of India, highlighting urgent farmer issues. 'The State government had imposed a complicated registration process for farmers, which clearly reflected its anti-farmer stance. This complex process was intended to exclude farmers from selling their paddy. The BJD had opposed this decision, and due to the collective voice of the farmers under the party's leadership, the State government hastily withdrew the decision on Sunday,' the memorandum said. It also alleged that farmers were not getting the benefits of Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana introduced by the BJP government. The insurance companies get benefit while farmers suffer, the BJD claimed, adding that there is huge deduction on weight of paddy at the government mandis. 'The BJP's election promises, such as procurement without deductions, middlemen-free mandis and payments within 48 hours have become a joke,' it said, alleging that the BJP government has denied benefits to sharecroppers and marginal farmers in the CM Kisan scheme. The Swaminathan Commission had recommended providing Minimum Support Price at 1.5 times the cost of production, the party said, adding that the BJP government did not implement it. 'During an election rally in Bargarh, the Prime Minister had promised an MSP of Rs 3,100 per quintal for paddy. That promise, however, has vanished into thin air. Hence, the BJD demands that MSP be fixed in line with the Swaminathan Committee's recommendations and be made a legal right,' the memorandum added.

Vice-Presidential Polls: Oppn fields former SC judge Sudarshan Reddy
New Delhi: The Opposition on Tuesday named former Supreme Court judge Justice B Sudarshan Reddy as its 'joint candidate' for the September 9 Vice-Presidential elections, which it termed an 'ideological battle' against the BJP-led NDA which has nominated Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan. If the BJP intended to put the DMK in a spot by choosing a Tamil as the NDA candidate, a section in the Opposition believes they have returned fire by choosing a Telugu that could create a political dilemma for N Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP and K Chandrasekhar Rao-led BRS. AAP, which has left the INDIA bloc, has also pledged its support to Justice Reddy, as the INDIA leaders maintained he is a 'joint Opposition candidate and not just the bloc's'. Sources said Arvind Kejriwal was briefed by Trinamool Congress' Derek O'Brien about the consensus reached over the candidate following which the AAP chief gave his party's green signal. The name was given the final stamp at a meeting of INDIA bloc leaders at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's official residence here, which was preceded by a meeting on Monday evening and late night consultations among top leaders. Sources said they were pitching the battle as 'Constitution and Idea of India versus RSS-BJP'. The announcement also caps two days of intense consultations during which names of former ISRO scientist Mylswamy Annadurai, Mahatma Gandhi's great grandson Tushar Gandhi and former Rajya Sabha MP Bhalchandra Mungekar among others also cropped up. Flanked by INDIA leaders, Kharge told a press conference, 'This Vice-Presidential contest is an ideological battle. All Opposition parties have nominated Justice B Sudarshan Reddy as their joint Reddy is one of India's most distinguished and progressive jurists.' 'He has been a consistent and courageous champion of social, economic and political justice. He reflects, fully, the values that shaped our country's freedom movement so profoundly, and the values on which our country's Constitution and democracy have been anchored. All these values are under assault and therefore, our collective and determined resolve to fight this election,' Kharge said.
