Dr. Sampath Kumar Ensures Water Supply to RDS Canal Farmers and Reviews Indiramma Housing Progress in Alampur
Responding swiftly, Dr. Sampath Kumar contacted Irrigation Department officials via phone and held discussions to resolve the issue. He instructed them to immediately release water from the lift irrigation system to ensure the farmers' crops receive the required water. He emphasized that no farmer should suffer due to lack of irrigation and directed the department to take urgent action.
Following the inspection of the irrigation canal, Dr. Sampath Kumar also visited Koil Dinne village in Vadddepalli Mandal to review the progress of houses being built under the Indiramma Housing Scheme. He assessed the quality and pace of construction and interacted with beneficiaries.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sampath Kumar criticized the previous TRS government for failing to deliver a single double-bedroom house during its ten-year rule. In contrast, he stated that within just one year of coming to power, the Congress-led Revanth Reddy government has begun allotting Indiramma houses to every eligible poor family across the state.
He noted that not only have the houses been sanctioned, but funds are also being directly credited into the beneficiaries' accounts to facilitate swift construction. Sampath Kumar emphasized that the Congress government's aim is to bring happiness to the eyes of the poor through inclusive and people-centric governance.
Grateful beneficiaries expressed their thanks to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Dr. Sampath Kumar for their commitment and support.

Internal quota: Parameshwara appeals to groups to not protest
Home Minister G. Parameshwara here on Sunday said that the Congress government was committed to implementing internal reservation for Scheduled Caste communities in the State and appealed to those threatening to stage protest seeking implementation of it to not do so. 'We had made the declaration on internal reservation in Chitradurga and we have also committed to it in our manifesto. Whatever we need to do should be done according to the procedure and guidelines issued by the Supreme Court. We are committed to implementing internal reservation; procedures have to be followed for which we need some time,' he told presspersons. His statement comes in the light of Dalit left (Madigas) groups threatening a protest from August 11. Dalit left leaders from the BJP, including Govind Karjol and A. Narayanaswamy, have also made such a threat. The Minister said that the commission, headed by retired judge H.N. Nagamohan Das, would submit its report to the government on August 4. It would discussed in the State Cabinet and steps would be taken to implement the recommendations. The A.J. Sadashiva Commission report was not accepted by the then BJP government because of data issues. On the meeting of Ministers from the Scheduled Caste community that he had convened, Dr. Parameshwara said that it was decided to have a common voice on the internal reservation. 'If there are any issues with communities, it was decided to talk to them.'

Mahesh Goud and Meenakshi Natarajan to lead BC leaders in a train to New Delhi today
Telangana Congress president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud and AICC in-charge of state affairs Meenakshi Natarajan will leave in a special train from Hyderabad on Monday, along with a delegation of Backward Classes leaders, to New Delhi to participate in the dharna seeking 42% reservations to Backward Classes. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will lead the dharna at Jantar Mantar on August 6, demanding Presidential assent for the Backward Classes reservation Bills passed by the Telangana Assembly. The Congress has planned a series of protests from August 5 to 7. Meanwhile, the Janahita Padayatra of Mr. Mahesh Goud and Meenakshi Natarajan continued in Adilabad district. Addressing a roadside meeting in Khanapur on Sunday evening, Ms. Meenakshi said the foot march is being organised by drawing inspiration from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's historic pan-India 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. It symbolises Congress's ideology of social justice, inclusive growth and upliftment of marginalised sections, she said. She said the Congress's ideals are rooted in unity and social inclusion as against the BJP's divisive politics. The holistic and inclusive development model of Telangana set an example for other States to emulate, she said, listing out a plethora of flagship welfare schemes of the Telangana government. The Congress government has sanctioned title deeds to tribal farmers under the RoFR Act and initiated concrete measures for the empowerment of tribal people and marginalised sections of society, she said, referring to the recently passed 42% BC quota bills. Mr. Mahesh Kumar Goud, Ministers D. Anasuya (Seethakka) and Jupally Krishna Rao and others spoke.

Haryana CM Saini says Rahul Gandhi's allegations on Arun Jaitley exposes his ‘politics of lies'
'The late Shri Arun Jaitley ji passed away in 2019, while the (now repealed) agricultural laws were introduced in 2020. Despite this, Rahul Gandhi is claiming that Jaitley ji came to threaten him not to oppose the agricultural laws. Addressing an event recently, Gandhi claimed that Arun Jaitley had threatened him to not speak against the farm laws, else he would face action, a charge rubbished by the BJP as 'fake news'. Chandigarh, Aug 3 (PTI) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini Sunday said Rahul Gandhi's allegations against former finance minister Arun Jaitley on the farm laws issue expose the Congress leader's 'lack of political understanding and his politics of lies'. 'This statement by Rahul Gandhi is not only laughable but also exposes his lack of political understanding and his politics of lies. By fabricating falsehoods in the name of deceased leaders, he is trying to regain his lost credibility, which is extremely shameful and condemnable,' the Haryana CM posted on X in Hindi Sunday evening. Saini added that people will not be 'misled by such false statements'. The BJP slammed Gandhi over the comments, saying he was rewriting timelines to 'suit narratives'. Congress leader Pawan Khera had responded, saying the farm laws of 2020 were the culmination of a long, deliberate, anti-farmer agenda of the BJP government. In a post on X on Saturday, Khera, chief of Congress' media and publicity department, wrote: 'For the uninitiated who have been jumping since the morning, sit down and listen: The Farm Laws of 2020 were not the only anti-farmer legislations of the BJP government. They were the culmination of a long, deliberate, anti-farmer agenda that the BJP government had been cooking up in its cauldron of destructive policy.' He said the 'first blow came in December 2014 itself, when Modi resorted to diluting the Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation Bill of 2013. Then in 2017 came the so-called Model Agricultural Produce and Livestock Marketing Act – another backdoor assault on farmers' rights'. Khera said the Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, 'vehemently opposed these anti-farmer laws'. It is in this context that the late Arun Jaitley came to 10 Janpath to meet Rahul Gandhi, carrying a threat, he claimed. PTI SUN SKY SKY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
