Human survival depends on trees: Minister Savita
Minister Savita planted saplings here and led locals in a pledge to commit to environmental protection and increasing greenery. She highlighted that environmental protection must start from every home. She called upon everyone to avoid plastic use and plant trees, emphasizing that human survival is only possible with green trees.
She stated that the coalition government has decided to prioritize the creation of Green Andhra Pradesh and environmental protection by significantly increasing green cover in the state. She mentioned that development is progressing rapidly in the state, with work on the capital Amaravati and the Polavaram project already underway. Simultaneously, high priority is being given to increasing green cover.
Minister Savita warned that strict action will be taken against those who remove trees along roadsides and canal banks. She emphasized that tree planting is everyone's responsibility and called upon everyone to come forward to plant trees in front of every house and for auspicious occasions.
Savita highlighted that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan are giving high priority to tree planting, which provides oxygen to humans and maintains environmental balance. In contrast, she criticised former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, stating that he acted in opposition to this. She expressed anger, alleging that Jagan, when traveling by air outside his palace, had ordered the removal of trees along roads.
Earlier, coalition leaders and workers accorded a grand welcome to Minister Savita upon her arrival in Poranki for the Vana Mahotsavam. Corporation chairmen Veeranki Gurumurthy and Eshwar, along with several TDP leaders, participated in the programme.

SC order on MLC nominations a slap on face of Congress, BJP: BRS leader KT Rama Rao
HYDERABAD: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Wednesday described the Supreme Court order on nomination of two MLCs as 'a slap in the face of both the Congress and the BJP'. The apex court issued an order modifying its earlier interim directive on the nomination of Prof M Kodandaram Reddy and Amer Ali Khan to the state Legislative Council under the Governor's quota. In a press statement, Rama Rao said that the Supreme Court declaring invalid the appointments of Kodandaram and Amer Ali as MLCs under the Governor's quota by the state government was a slap in the face for both the BJP and the Congress. He claimed the two Delhi-based parties have been misusing the Constitutional institutions and making a mockery of democracy. Rama Rao criticised the then Governor for ignoring the recommendation of the previous democratically elected BRS government to nominate Dasoju Sravan and Satyanarayana to the State Legislative Council. He alleged that the Modi government at the Centre had used the Governor's office as a tool to trouble the KCR government. He further accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of exposing his anti-BC stance by recommending two other names while the proposals from his own government were still pending. Rama Rao, however, said that the Supreme Court's order made it clear that the actions of both the BJP and the Congress were unconstitutional.

Rain forecast forces BRS to postpone public meeting
Hyderabad: The opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi's public meeting christened as 'BC Kadhana Bheri', scheduled to be held in Karimnagar on August 14 has been postponed due to forecast of heavy rains in the erstwhile Karimnagar district and elsewhere in the State in the next three days. The party leadership has chosen Karimnagar for its 'BC Kadhana Bheri' to galvanise Backward Class (BC) communities to mount pressure on the government to implement the 42 per cent reservations for BCs. The new date of the public meeting will be decided by the BRS leadership in due course, the party leaders said. It was originally scheduled for August 8 in Karimnagar. Inclement weather forced the organisers to postpone the meeting to August 14. The meeting has been postponed twice within a week. Meanwhile, BRS Supremo K Chandrashekhar Rao held an emergency meeting with senior party leaders KT Rama Rao, T Harish Rao and others and reviewed political developments in the state.
