BJP celebrates Telangana Formation Day, vows ethical governance: K Reddy
Hyderabad, June 2 (UNI) Telangana Formation Day was celebrated with grandeur at the BJP state office on Monday, where Union Minister and BJP Telangana President G Kishan Reddy unfurled the national flag in the presence of party leaders and activists. Addressing the gathering, K Reddy extended greetings to the people of Telangana and remembered the sacrifices of the youth during the statehood movement. He highlighted BJP's active role in the Telangana agitation, emphasising its early involvement through the JAC and its advocacy in Parliament. Reddy launched a strong attack on both the BRS and Congress, calling them exploitative and corrupt. He alleged that under their rule, Telangana has been pushed into a debt of Rs 10 lakh crore and failed to deliver the promises made during the movement. He criticised the KCR-led government for running the state like a private company and said the golden Telangana dream has only enriched the ruling family. He also targeted Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of political opportunism, and asserted that the BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is committed to providing governance based on ethics, honesty, and the true aspirations of Telangana activists. Calling for an end to the rule of family-dominated parties, Kishan Reddy said the time has come for the BJP flag to fly high in Telangana. UNI VV ARN

US envoy to Ukraine backs Putin's claims of NATO using Russia-Ukraine conflict as a proxy war
Washington/Kyiv/Moscow, June 2 (UNI) The US special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellog, in a surprising move backed Russian President Vladimir Putin's claim that NATO is using the ongoing war between the two countries, to wage a proxy war against Moscow. Commenting on the way Europe has been using the war, Keith in an interview with Fox News said 'Putin made these comments, 'if you are going to supply them (Kyiv) with weapons, we will continue to be part of the aggressor,'" he said, reports Russian-state-media-TASS. "And he (Putin) considers this a proxy war with NATO as well right now. And frankly, in a way it is. Look at what the Europeans nations have done with support. It is clearly Putin sees this." Russia had earlier issued staunch warnings to countries, that any supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine would make those nations active participants in the war, and therefore, potential targets for Russian counterattacks. This has particularly true for Germany, with the Kremlin repeatedly issuing warnings of stark retaliation to Berlin, if it even attempts to supply its Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Speaking about the progress of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, Kellogg said as for Russia's term sheet for a memorandum the United States "have not got it yet." However, he said that after contacts with the Europeans in London, a 22-point document was prepared, which includes a ceasefire in the air, on land and at sea, but neither side was completely satisfied with it. Kellog further expressed his confidence in the Trump administration's ability to end the long-protracted war. "Yes, I am confident. If anyone can do it, it's US President Donald Trump. Everyone is working very hard to make that happen", the special envoy stated. According to TASS, back in 2024, Putin recalled the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation) summit in Moscow, where he had repeatedly warned that the use of long-range weapons from the West on Russian territory would mean direct involvement of NATO in the conflict.
