Centre and State are deceiving public: Congress
Speaking to the media here on Thursday, Chittibabu said the Centre rake up patriotism and ultra-nationalism, posing that they are the saviours of the country. While the NDA government in the State also, which failed to implement its Super Six promises, is using diversion tactics, they alleged. The Modi government failed in all fronts and also control raising prices affecting common man and growing unemployment, they pointed out. The Congress leaders further alleged that many promises given by the TDP during election are yet to be fulfilled.
Chittibabu announced the new office bearers of the city Congress committee. The new members include vice-presidents Parthasaradhi Reddy, Godugu Chinthala Gopi, Nagaraju Yadav and PV Ramesh. Talari Gopichand, Chengal Rayulu, Siva Kumar, Mahesh Babu and Krishnamurthy are the general secretaries, while Mohan Jagapathi Babu, Jayakumar, Saiman, Chakri, Siva Shakti, Manikanta and Venkatesh are the secretaries.

Rajanna hints at conspiracy, vows return to cabinet
Tumakuru: Former cooperation minister KN Rajanna Friday hinted at a political conspiracy behind his removal from chief minister Siddaramaiah 's cabinet and expressed confidence of returning as minister before the term of the current govt ends. "I know what was said against me and what steps were taken to achieve those intentions," he said. "I will speak about those who plotted against me, but not now before the media. I will do so only after collecting confirmed information. I will not make allegations without evidence." The Madhugiri MLA, who was removed after ridiculing former AICC chief Rahul Gandhi's "vote theft" charge, said, "I will regain a minister post when the time comes. I have achieved everything I desired in life so far. I will achieve this (minister post) too in this term itself."

On whether unseen hands were behind his ouster, he said, "Without unseen hands, how was this decision taken so suddenly? The chief minister himself wasn't aware that the high command was thinking on these lines. While on the way from his home to Vidhana Soudha, the CM was seen speaking to someone on the phone… It was the same matter (sacking). Siddaramaiah had tried to convince the high command, but when they said a decision had been made. The CM told me the situation and I said fine…" On speculation about joining BJP, he was categorical: "Even without a ministerial berth, I will stay here (Congress). I will not join BJP under any circumstances." Rajanna dismissed suggestions that his outspoken nature cost him his post. "Where have I spoken ill about someone? I might have spoken the truth. Someone might have complained to the high command distorting my statements. Such things happen," he said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Lokesh vows to transform AP with ‘double engine' governance
1 2 3 4 Guntur: Urging the youth to follow Mahatma Gandhi's advice — "Be the change you wish to see in the world" — IT and HRD minister Nara Lokesh said the state govt, under the leadership and vision of chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, is working with the same spirit and commitment to transform Andhra Pradesh into a developed state. Lokesh hoisted the Tricolour at the police parade grounds to mark the 79th Independence Day celebrations on Friday, and took the guard of honour. Addressing the gathering, he said Andhra Pradesh witnessed "dark days" from 2019 to 2024. "The previous govt accumulated ₹10 lakh crore in debt, pushing the state back by 30 years. Development lost its track during their regime. People created history with a 94% strike rate in 2024, giving 164 seats to the NDA, breaking all records and establishing a people's govt," he said. With chief minister Naidu's vision being a constant guiding force in taking up revolutionary decisions, the double-engine govt has guided the state from darkness to light, Lokesh said. "The Centre has provided funds for the construction of Amaravati as the capital and for Polavaram project. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi's support, the govt was also able to save Vizag Steel Plant and establish the railway zone in Visakhapatnam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find your car's value online in minutes.

He said the 'Super Six' promises made by the chief minister have become a "super hit," as they were implemented within a year of coming to power. "The govt increased pensions to Rs 4,000, Rs 6,000 for the differently-abled, and Rs 15,000 for bedridden beneficiaries. Rs 7,000 was disbursed to farmers in the first phase under Annadata Sukheebhava scheme. Additionally, the govt has provided two crore free gas cylinders to women under the Deepam scheme and launched free travel for women on APSRTC buses under Stree Shakti scheme," Lokesh said. He highlighted the launch of 'Thalli ki Vandanam' scheme, which provides Rs 15,000 to mothers of each schoolgoing child. A total of Rs 10,091 crore has been disbursed to 67.27 lakh children under the scheme, he said. He pointed out that while the previous govt failed to fill even a single teacher post, the NDA govt has filled 16,347 posts through a mega DSC. "We aim to create 20 lakh jobs and have already secured agreements for Rs 9.35 lakh crore in investments, creating 8.5 lakh jobs through companies like ArcelorMittal, NTPC, BPCL, TCS, Cognizant, Sattva, ANSR, LG Electronics, and Renew," Lokesh said. He added that the govt has revamped the curriculum from KG to PG and introduced semester-wise books to reduce the burden on students.
