Kharge slams 11 years of Modi-led NDA govt
Kalaburagi: Slamming 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday accused the Prime Minister of committing 33 mistakes during this period. He claimed that he had never seen a PM who lies so much and 'traps' people and deceives the youth. 'It has been 11 years and 33 mistakes have been committed. You are aware and I have been saying it in parliament too -- I have never seen a Prime Minister who lies so much, who commits so many mistakes, who traps people, who deceives youth, who traps the poor and gets votes. I have been in power for 55 years, and in politics for 65 years. There has been no one like him,' Kharge said. Speaking to reporters here, he said the PM lies for everything and does not implement anything that he says, and when questioned he does not have any answers for it. 'Whether it is demonetisation or employment generation or MSP, there are many such things. He has never admitted that he has lied to people and has committed a mistake, and never apologised for it. He keeps on saying things one after the other and it has been 11 years now,' he added. Prime Minister Modi took oath for a third term on June 9, 2024. The Modi government marked its first anniversary in the third term and 11th overall on Monday. Kharge also said that he has written a letter to PM Modi stating that, in accordance with the Constitution, a Deputy Speaker should be appointed for the Lok Sabha, and that the government has to function in accordance with the Constitution. 'Modi says democracy, democracy. No Prime Minister after Independence has kept the Deputy Speaker post vacant, but during both his tenures (as PM), now the third period is going on, the post has been kept vacant,' he said. Noting that there is a provision in the Constitution about the election of Deputy Speaker, Kharge said when UPA government was there, a leader from the opposition was made the Deputy Speaker and this had been done earlier too. 'Modi's act is illegal, undemocratic, and he doesn't even want to give the post of Deputy Speaker to the Opposition. It shows he has no faith in democracy,' he added.

Andhra Govt to transfer Rs 15,000 per student to mothers starting June 12
Andhra Pradesh will disburse Rs 8,745 crore on Thursday under a direct benefit scheme for mothers of school students. The scheme called Talliki Vandanam promises Rs 15,000 per student annually and it is part of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's election promise and a pillar of his administration's "Super Six" agenda. The rollout is expected to cover 6.7 million students, according to news agency PTI. What is Talliki Vandanam According to a press release cited by PTI, the scheme offers financial support to mothers of children enrolled in school. The amount of Rs 15,000 is intended to ease the cost of education and encourage school attendance. On June 12, the state government will begin direct benefit transfers (DBT) of these funds into the bank accounts of beneficiaries. This date also marks one year since the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led coalition returned to power. Who will benefit? Eligible beneficiaries include students enrolled in Class 1 to Intermediate First Year (equivalent to 11th standard). The funds will be disbursed once school admissions are completed and data is verified, the state government said. However, there is still uncertainty about whether the transfer pertains to the academic year 2024–25 or 2025–26, as the official release did not clarify this detail. Part of a larger welfare push Talliki Vandanam is among several welfare initiatives promised by Naidu during the 2024 election campaign under the 'Super Six' umbrella. Others include: Rs 1,500 monthly aid for every woman aged 19 to 59 years Free bus travel for women across Andhra Pradesh As many as 2 million job opportunities or a monthly unemployment allowance of Rs 3,000 According to the PTI report, the Chief Minister referred to the rollout as a 'special gift for mothers' to coincide with the coalition government's first anniversary in office. What should beneficiaries do? Mothers of students should ensure their bank account details are correctly linked with the school and education department records. Once school admissions are completed, the funds will be automatically transferred through DBT to the linked accounts. This initiative reflects the state government's growing emphasis on education-linked welfare and is likely to have a significant financial impact on low- and middle-income families in Andhra Pradesh.
