Lokesh's ultimatum to YSRCP on 'Talliki Vandanam'
Vijayawada: Minister for Human Resources and IT Nara Lokesh on Friday gave an ultimatum to leaders of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to prove their claim that he had arranged to collect Rs 2,000 illicitly from the Rs 15,000 being disbursed to mothers under the 'Talliki Vandanam' scheme. Lokesh demanded that the YSRCP must take down their defamatory tweet within 24 hours, failing which legal action would be launched against the party. He accused the YSRCP of a pattern of repeating false allegations to establish its unfounded charge. In fact, Lokesh alleged, there were irregularities in the implementation of the 'Amma Vodi' scheme during the previous YSRCP government, including the furnishing of false accounts regarding student gross enrollment ratios. Addressing the media, the IT Minister highlighted that under the 'Talliki Vandanam', a key promise under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's 'Super Six' programme, the state government has successfully credited Rs 8,745 crore to the accounts of mothers of 67.27 lakh students. This amount is being credited to mothers of students from Class 1 to Intermediate first year. In cases where a mother is absent, the amount will be credited to the father or guardian, and for orphanages, the District Collector will assume responsibility. Lokesh emphasised the establishment of a robust redressal mechanism, allowing citizens to report grievances regarding non-receipt of funds through the Mana Mitra app or at village and ward secretariats. The minister provided a breakdown of the beneficiaries, stating that amounts for students from Class 4 to 10 were credited to 30 lakh BCs, 12 lakh SCs, 4.26 lakh STs, 66,000 minorities, and 8.5 lakh EBCs. He added that Rs 13,000 was credited to 18.55 lakh mothers with one child. For those with two children, Rs 26,000 was credited to 14.55 lakh mothers, covering 29.10 lakh students. Additionally, funds were credited for 6.3 lakh students with three children. Lokesh contrasted the foregoing figures with those of the previous YSRCP government's 'Amma Vodi' scheme, which benefited only 42 lakh students, whereas the current NDA government had extended 'Talliki Vandanam' to 67.27 lakh students. He noted that while the YSRCP government spent Rs 5,540 crore, the NDA government was spending Rs 8,745 crore on 'Talliki Vandanam,' an additional Rs 3,205 crore, projecting an extra expenditure of Rs 16,000 crore over five years. The minister further informed that he had reviewed the scheme's implementation with the Finance Minister and found that 2 percent of mothers' accounts were inactive, for which SMS notifications were being sent to prompt their activation. Regarding school preparations, Lokesh stated that student kits, including books and bags, were distributed to 80 per cent of students on the first day of school reopening. He assured that mid-day meals would be served with fine rice. As part of ongoing reforms, the state government was focusing on a 'one class, one teacher' norm, which had been implemented in 9,600 schools. Additionally, government schools were receiving free power supply. The minister concluded by stating that the teacher transfer process would be completed by Monday.

Celebrating those who resisted invasions is not chauvinism — it's reclaiming history
Also by Shambo Samrat Samajdar India's civilisational journey is one of unparalleled continuity — its roots run deep, nourished by thousands of years of spiritual inquiry, scientific advancement and cultural sophistication. Yet, the collective memory of Hindu empires that upheld this tradition seems to have faded from mainstream consciousness. For a country that takes justifiable pride in its freedom fighters, why do we not celebrate the heroes who defended this land centuries ago? Why are names like Ghori, Babur, or Aurangzeb more familiar to students than Lalitaditya Muktapida, Vikramaditya, or Krishnadevaraya? What became of the festivals that once commemorated Hindu sovereignty, cultural flourishing, and spiritual freedom? This erasure was not accidental. Between the eighth and 16th centuries, India witnessed relentless waves of invasions. Its glorious temples — from Mathura to Somnath, Kashi to Vijayanagara —became the first targets of destruction. Over 12,000 temples are known to have been desecrated or demolished. Libraries were burned, idols mutilated, and scriptures lost. The purpose was not merely conquest — it was to uproot India's sacred geography and replace it with a different historical narrative. Yet, India did not submit. For every invader, there rose a guardian of dharma. The resistance was not episodic — it was inspired by a sense of cultural and spiritual responsibility. The Vijayanagara Empire, for example, stood as a southern bastion against centuries of Islamic expansion. Under Harihara, Bukka, and later, the legendary Krishnadevaraya, the empire became a lighthouse of Hindu polity, temple architecture, Sanskrit learning, and inclusive governance. Its capital, Hampi, rivalled the world's greatest cities. Its fall in the battle of Talikota (1565) was not just a geopolitical event — it was a civilisational rupture. But even from the ashes, the fire did not die. It flared once again in the heart of Maharashtra with the arrival of a lion-hearted warrior — Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji was more than a military genius. He was a cultural visionary, a spiritual devotee, and a dharmic ruler. At a time when many Indian rulers had become vassals of invading powers, Shivaji declared swaraj — not just political independence, but a civilisational reclamation. He did not fight for territory alone. He fought for the right to worship freely, to rebuild temples, to protect women, to govern with justice, and to restore pride in the Hindu way of life. Shivaji's coronation in 1674 was an act of national renewal. Conducted by Vedic scholars with sacred rituals, it was a public declaration that the sanatan spirit of India still breathed. Shivaji's governance was marked by pluralism, meritocracy and spiritual grounding. He appointed Muslims to key positions and protected mosques while rebuilding destroyed temples, defending sacred spaces, and promoting Sanskrit. For him, the Hindu Rashtra was not a theological state, but a dharmic society based on ethics, justice, and cultural confidence. His message continues to echo: Freedom is sacred, and to defend it is the highest form of worship. If Shivaji was the sword of civilisational resistance, Swami Vivekananda was its thunderous voice in modern India. At the end of the 19th century, India was once again reeling — not under military invasion, but under psychological colonisation. Generations were taught to be ashamed of their roots, their gods, their texts, their identity. It was then that Swami Vivekananda stood at the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago (1893) and roared: 'I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.' His mission was not just religious — it was political in the most profound sense. He reminded India of her true identity. He reminded us that behind every temple, every Upanishad, every raga and sculpture, there was a soul — a mighty civilisation that once led the world in knowledge, trade, ethics, and spiritual wisdom. To the youth, he said: 'Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.' To patriots, he said: 'Serve the motherland as God.' To all Indians, he declared: 'Let new India arise — from the grocer's shop, from the huts of fishermen, the cobbler and the sweeper.' Vivekananda did not ask India to mimic the West. He asked her to be herself — to draw strength from her Vedas, her courage from her warriors, her inspiration from her sages. Modern India has made extraordinary strides. But even as we fly missions to the Moon and craft digital economies, our roots must remain nourished. It is time to reclaim the festivals of our civilisational pride, not in hatred or chauvinism, but in truth, remembrance, and gratitude. We must remember the Hindu empires, the philosopher-kings, the warrior-monks, and the temple-builders who preserved the flame of Bharat through the darkest nights of history. This is not about rewriting history. It is about restoring balance, giving the rightful place to chapters long suppressed, and telling our children that before India was colonised, she was sovereign, scholarly, sacred, and strong. Let us walk forward — empowered not only by economic progress but by civilisational consciousness. Let Shivaji's sword and Vivekananda's voice guide us in tandem.

NDA government in Andhra Pradesh to launch month-long ‘Toli Adugu Vijaya Yatra' programme from June 23
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government will launch a month- long door-to- door campaign christened 'Toli Adugu Vijaya Yatra' (First Step Victory March) from June 23. Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu held a tele conference with the TDP MLAs, MPs, senior leaders and workers on Friday. Speaking on the occasion, he said as part of the programme, details of the coalition government's achievements and schemes implemented in the past one year should be explained to all people. All the party leaders must participate in the programme, Mr. Naidu said. 'Along with sharing what the government has accomplished in the first year, false propaganda must be countered. The opposition, unable to digest our successes, is resorting to insulting and attacking women,' he said, adding, 'The NDA workers should take these good initiatives to the people. Every programme we undertake must be communicated to the public.' The Chief Minister said that a large-scale Yogandhra programme is being conducted in the State. We are planning to celebrate International Yoga Day in Visakhapatnam on June 21 with five lakh participants. 'On the same day, the goal is to involve two crore people in the programme across the State. Already, 2.21 crore people have registered. Those who participate for three days will receive certificates. Yoga should become part of life. We initiated this for a healthy, wealthy and happy society. This is our collective initiative—a movement to place Andhra Pradesh on the world map,' he said, adding, 'tomorrow, Yoga Day preparatory events will be held at one lakh locations.' On Thursday, the event planned with MLAs, MPs, and officials had to be cancelled due to a plane crash in Ahmedabad. Before elections, party workers and leaders widely campaigned about Super-6, the manifesto, and Babu's security-future guarantee. The coalition government is now implementing them, he said. Along with development and welfare programmes, the government was conducting events like yoga. 'As promised during the elections, we have implemented the Talli ki Vandanam scheme. We extended the scheme to everyone we said we would, irrespective of numbers. Despite financial difficulties, we are implementing all key schemes within one year. The NDA government released ₹10,000 crores under the scheme benefiting 67.27 lakh students. ₹13,000 is being credited to mothers' accounts and ₹2,000 is allocated for school development. We fulfilled our promise of implementing the scheme before reopening of schools,' he said. Mr. Naidu said that the TDP rank and file should not become complacent with the success of the Mahanadu (party conclave). Organisational committees must be formed. Give opportunities to those who work hard for the party. Take everyone's opinions into account while forming committees. Only those who are active in family empowerment programmes will be eligible for positions. Workers must always remain dynamic. From July, leadership training camps will be conducted for workers and leaders. 'We will groom workers into leaders. Workers struggled a lot during the opposition phase. MLAs should also allocate daily time for party programmes and constantly interact with people,' he added.
