Nallamalla declaration to cover 2.10 lakh ST farmers with 6 lakh acres spending ₹12,600 crore: Bhatti
Mr. Vikramarka referred the launching of the scheme as a 'golden moment in India's history', and said the scheme reflected the spirit of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's 'diamond-like heart'. The Congress government under his leadership is truly turning slogans like 'Jal, Jungle, Zameen, Bhoomi Kosam, Bhukti Kosam Poratam' into reality. For this, Congress must remain in power for the next 20 years, he said.
He said the launch of the ₹12,600 crore scheme was aimed at uplifting tribal communities through solar farming, avocado cultivation and intercropping support. Announcing strict implementation of the Nallamala Declaration, he pledged results within four years across all tribal areas.
He further said that on June 2, under the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Self-Employment Scheme, ₹1,000 crore will be sanctioned for tribal youth to support their entrepreneurial aspirations.

EC acting like BJP agent: Hebbalkar
Udupi: The Central Election Commission is acting like an agent of the BJP , supporting them in election fraud, alleged minister for women and child development and district minister Laxmi R Hebbalkar. Speaking at a candlelight protest organised by the Udupi District Congress Committees at the Gandhi statue near the Clock Tower on Thursday, the minister said that elections should be conducted impartially and fearlessly. However, she criticised the Election Commission's (EC) approach, likening it to a fence that eats the crop it is supposed to protect. She accused the BJP and the EC of violating constitutional rights, claiming that winning elections through deceit is the BJP's strategy. She called for everyone to unite against the BJP. Hebbalkar said that Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, exposed the EC's misconduct in detail. She criticised instances where one person was able to vote multiple times, despite the Constitution granting each individual one vote. She further alleged that BJP leaders at the centre, who orchestrate raids on opposition leaders using the ED and IT departments, are now also engaging in election fraud. She noted that when Rahul Gandhi requested for the voter list after the elections, it was not provided. She condemned the state BJP functionaries for spreading misinformation against their movement and emphasised the need to teach the BJP a lesson for undermining democracy. Former MP Jayaprakash Hegde, district Congress president Ashok Kumar Kodavoor, and others were present. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Rahul Gandhi takes dig at PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana: ' ₹1 crore ka jumla'
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi announcing the launch of PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, calling it " ₹1 lakh crore jumla - Season 2". In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, " ₹ 1 lakh crore jumla - Season 2! Even after 11 years, Modi ji's same old jumlas, same memorized figures."(ANI/AICC) Modi on Friday announced the launch of the scheme which is expected to create 3.5 crore jobs in the next two years. "Today is August 15 and we are launching ₹1 lakh crore scheme for the youth of this country. It is good news for you that PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana is being rolled out from Today," Modi said in his Independence Day speech. In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, " ₹1 lakh crore jumla - Season 2! Even after 11 years, Modi ji's same old jumlas, same memorized figures." "Last year, ₹1 lakh crore to 1 crore internships promise, this year again ₹1 lakh crore job scheme! What is the truth? On my question in the Parliament, the government admitted - less than 10,000 internships. The stipend is so low that 90% of the youth refused," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. "Modi ji has no new idea left now. The youth will not get employment from this government, they will only get jumlas," Gandhi said. The former Congress president also shared the screenshot of his question in the Lok Sabha last month and the answer by the Minister of State in the Corporate Affairs Ministry Harsh Malhotra. On July 1, 2025, the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Modi had approved the scheme aimed at incentivising job creation in the country. In his address, Modi said that under this scheme the youth getting first job in the private sector will get ₹15,000 and the companies (employing them) will get incentive amounts. With an outlay of ₹99,446 crore, the PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana aims to incentivise the creation of more than 3.5 crore jobs over two years. Of these, 1.92 crore beneficiaries will be first timers, entering the workforce. The benefits of the scheme would be applicable to jobs created between August 1, 2025, and July 31, 2027.

Fanaticism creating communal divisions in India, says Sanjay Raut
Nashik: Shiv Sena(UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Friday accused the BJP of making the country 'fanatical' about religion after it came to power in 2014, and said that this is creating communal divisions, which is very dangerous for the country's independence. Raut also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his call for Swadeshi and self-reliance, reminding him that the slogan of Swadeshi was a gift from the Congress party. The Shiv Sena(UBT) leader spoke to reporters after PM Modi's Independence Day speech from the ramparts of Red Fort, on a range of issues, including Operation Sindoor, Indus Water Treaty, Pakistan-sponsored terror activities and Swadeshi. Raut argued that when PM Modi keeps on asking what the Congress party has given, he should understand that the slogan of Swadeshi was given in this country by the Congress party. 'Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave it. That is why Khadi came to the country, the Gandhi cap came. One day, Narendra Modi will give a speech wearing a Gandhi cap. Modi has become a Congressman today. He has become a Nehruvian and a Gandhian,' he claimed. Referring to PM Modi's subtle warning to the US and Pakistan, Raut said that PM Modi does not warn anyone by taking anyone's name, as he does not have that much courage. 'PM Modi should name the US President Trump (after his retaliatory tariff) or Pakistan. Take the name of the enemy. Trump is sitting there and repeatedly issuing threats and ultimatums. He is abusing the country every day. He is abusing and insulting the PM, so he should name him. Why is he ashamed and afraid to take the name?' he asked. He added that instead of blaming former PM Jawaharlal Nehru, an architect of India's development, PM Modi should directly name the US, China and Pakistan. 'It is very easy to warn Pakistan. But China is behind Pakistan. How can PM Modi forget that Trump is behind General Munir? He should not make false speeches from the Red Fort. Pakistan's Army Chief Munir threatens us. Trump invited Munir to a dinner at the White House. Did Trump invite the Indian Army Chief? PM Modi should take on Trump. It is not enough to just warn Pakistan but also China,' said Raut. He criticised several policies of the Modi government, alleging that the country has gone into a pit after 2014. He slammed the government's foreign policy, saying that it is easy to curse Pakistan.
