TDP leaders hail implementation of ‘Thalliki Vandanam'
Tirupati: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Tirupati Parliament president and State Yadava Corporation Chairman Golla Narasimha Yadav praised Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh for implementing 'Thalliki Vandanam' scheme, aimed at benefiting students from economically weaker sections across the State.
Speaking to the media in Tirupati on Sunday, Yadav said that the coalition government is committed to ensuring that every mother in the state feels proud and happy through the implementation of the 'Thalliki Vandanam' scheme. As per the scheme, Rs 15,000 will be credited to the mother's account for every child studying in school or college, he noted.
Yadav criticised YSRCP leaders for misleading the public with baseless allegations. 'While the government is directly benefiting lakhs of students, YSRCP leaders are spreading false propaganda and betraying students,' he alleged. Refuting YSRCP's claims that Rs 2,000 per student is being misappropriated, Yadav challenged them to prove such accusations with evidence. 'If Rs 13,000 was given during YSRCP rule, does that mean the remaining Rs 2,000 went into Jagan's pocket or to the Tadepalli palace?' he asked.
He highlighted that during the previous YSRCP regime, the scheme reached only 42 lakh students, whereas the coalition government is now extending the benefit to 67.27 lakh students.
Tirupati Deputy Mayor RC Munikrishna, State Media Coordinator Sridhar Varma, and BC Cell Vice-President of Chittoor district, Ravishankar Yadav, were also present.

‘People want a reliable regional party': Bikram Singh Majithia on SAD revival and AAP's ‘failures'
As political heat rises in the Assembly bypoll-bound Ludhiana West constituency, senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia is actively campaigning for SAD candidate Parupkar Singh Ghumman. Ahead of the June 19 bypoll, Majithia discusses the party's revival efforts, the return of leaders, criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, and the possibility of a future alliance between the SAD and the BJP. Bikram Singh Majithia: The campaign is progressing well, and the public response to our candidate, Parupkar Singh Ghumman, has been overwhelmingly positive. Several senior SAD leaders, including Sikander Singh Maluka, Sohan Singh Thandal, and Anil Joshi, have rejoined the party during this campaign. We have also welcomed several new members. This wave of support shows that people are eager to strengthen Punjab's oldest regional party. Bikram Singh Majithia: No doubt, ruling parties usually enjoy an advantage in bypolls — that has been the case historically, whether under SAD-BJP or Congress governments. However, this time, there is palpable public anger against the AAP government over unfulfilled promises. These include the Rs 1,000 monthly allowance for women above 18, the non-implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) for government employees, and the failure to provide adequate employment opportunities. The list goes on. Moreover, it is evident that Arvind Kejriwal, the former Delhi CM, has reduced Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann to a mere rubber stamp. It was Kejriwal, not the Punjab CM, who announced that Sanjeev Arora, the AAP's Ludhiana West candidate, would be made a minister if he won. Normally, such cabinet decisions should be announced by the chief minister — this shows how insecure the ruling party is. They seem to be trailing and are trying to lure voters with last-minute promises. But the voters are no longer gullible — they have seen through these gimmicks. We fear that between June 17 and 19, the AAP might resort to unfair means, including intimidation of Opposition workers, in desperation to get Arora elected, possibly to vacate his Rajya Sabha seat for Arvind Kejriwal. Bikram Singh Majithia: That is not for me to decide. However, historically, the SAD-BJP alliance has worked very well in maintaining communal harmony in Punjab. When the alliance was formed in 1996 under the leadership of Parkash Singh Badal from the SAD and Atal Bihari Vajpayee from the BJP, it brought great relief to the people of Punjab. However, under current circumstances, our focus remains on reviving and strengthening our regional party, the SAD. Bikram Singh Majithia: Several leaders have already returned to the party this month, and many more are expected to rejoin in the coming weeks. We are on our way to becoming a united Akali Dal once again. I appeal to all those still outside the party to set aside personal ambitions and come together to strengthen our shared platform. Our goal must be the welfare of Punjab, not individual egos. The state's condition under the AAP regime is deteriorating rapidly. Punjab has incurred a record Rs 1 lakh crore debt under this government, pushing the total debt to Rs 4 lakh crore. We are in a financial emergency — the government has begun withdrawing funds from departments to avoid defaulting on loans. This has led to a complete halt in developmental work. At this critical juncture, we must rise above differences and reunite under one banner — the SAD. People are looking for a party they can trust. For the sake of Punjab, Punjabi, and Punjabiyat, unity is the need of the hour. And I'm confident that day is not far.

Young and innocent minds fed with
New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): International President of World Punjabi Organisation and RS MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Monday condemned the alleged act of young Jatt kids kicking posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a post on social media X, Singh shared a video purportedly originating in Canada showing young children kicking a truck with pictures of PM Modi and wrote that it was 'unfortunate' that young and tender innocent minds were fed with hate instead of hope. He further wrote in his post that children should be imbued with the moral values emphasised by Guru Sahib. 'As International President of World Punjabi Organisation, I strongly condemn this act. It is deeply unfortunate when young, tender and innocent minds are fed with hate instead of hope. Let us imbibe in our children the moral values emphasised by our Guru sahib and that is ' Jb Tk Duniya Rahiye Nanak Kuch Suniye Kuch Kahiye'. Solution of all the issues is in dialogue,' the post read. He further stated that one should not forget that under the leadership of PM Modi, India was able to take various decisions, including the opening of the Kartarpur Corridor and the Hemkunt Sahib ropeway. 'Let's also not forget Government of India's various decisions under PM Modi's leadership like opening up of Kartarpur Corridor, Hemkunt Sahib Ropeway, Setting up SITs for 1984 anti Sikh genocide Victims, Slashing of blacklisting and visa clearance for Overseas Sikhs who were wrongly barred, granting FCRA registration to Sri Darbar Sahbir enabling global Sangat to do Seva, waiving office GST on Langar items, celebrating 550th Prakash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and 400th of Guru Teg Bahadur ji at large scale are some positive and constructive gestures towards Sikh sentiments,' the post read. Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, in a post on X also condemned the alleged act and stated that every Sikh was 'deeply disturbed' and 'ashamed' to see the unlike-Sikh incident against a leader who constantly showed up for the ethos of Sikhism. In his post, Sirsa wrote that the incident was not the 'spirit of Sikhism' but the 'influence of individuals with dangerous agendas.' 'Every Sikh is deeply disturbed and ashamed to see this unlike-Sikh incident in Canada, where children are inflicting such hatred. And that too against a leader who has consistently shown deep respect for the ethos of Sikhism. What we are witnessing is not the spirit of Sikhism but the influence of some individuals with dangerous agendas. These aren't true representatives of our faith; they appear to be ISI-influenced agents who aren't shying away from radicalising youth or children. They are promoting hate, with a sinister goal of isolating Sikhs globally and tarnishing our reputation. We condemn this behaviour in the strongest possible terms. It is time for all Sikhs, especially those in the diaspora, to stand up against this distortion of our identity and teachings,' the post read. Sirsa further mentioned that Sikhs were ever grateful to PM Modi for all that he had done for the community. 'Sikhs in India are ever grateful to Modi Ji for all that he has done for the community... from the opening of Kartarpur Corridor to celebrating Guru Purabs with such devotion and commemorating the heroic deeds of Sahibzades. He is the one who organised the historic celebration at the Red Fort. He is one who ensured the safe return of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji from Afghanistan. He is the one who understood the pain of the 1984 genocide and ensured justice for the victim families,' the post further read. (ANI)

Delayed again, why the ambitious Gorakhpur nuclear plant project in Haryana is yet to gather speed
Khattar told mediapersons Saturday that the 2,800-MW plant, comprising four 700-MW units, will be rolled out in two phases: 1,400 MW by 2031, and the remaining 1,400 MW by 2032. He attributed the delays to the sandy terrain and technical complexities, adding that nuclear power plants typically require 13 years to complete. This revised timeline marks a significant delay from the original target of 2020-21 and the more recent projection of 2028, highlighting the challenges plaguing this ambitious project. Gurugram: The completion of northern India and Haryana's first nuclear power plant, the Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut Pariyojana (GHAVP), has been pushed back again, with Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announcing that the first two of its four 700 megawatt units will now commence operations only in 2031. The announcement came during a visit by Khattar and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to GHAVP, a flagship project of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, in Fatehabad district's Gorakhpur Saturday. 'Today in Fatehabad, Haryana, along with Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @NayabSainiBJP, I reviewed the progress of North India's first nuclear power plant — the Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut Pariyojana (GHAVP),' Khattar posted on X following a meeting with senior NPCIL officials and a tour of the site. 'This ambitious project will not only meet the long-term energy needs of Haryana and North India, but will also strengthen India's commitment to clean and sustainable energy solutions,' he added, underscoring its alignment with India's net-zero emissions target by 2070. The project cost, initially estimated at Rs 23,502 crore in 2014, has now escalated to Rs 42,000 crore. Haryana will receive 50 percent of the generated electricity, with the central government taking the rest. Rs 80 crore is being allocated for development works in nearby villages.

As of May 2023, ground improvement work was 74 percent complete, with critical components, like end shields and steam generators already on site, according to a state government review that projected operations by June 2028. The latest delay pushes the timeline further, raising questions about the project's execution amidst India's pressing energy needs. Jivendra Kumar Jain, project director, and H.K. Nigotia, Chief Engineer (Civil) of the project, did not respond to ThePrint's phone calls. Parveen Jora, Fatehabad district BJP president, who accompanied Khattar and Saini on the inspection of the project site, told ThePrint Saturday that Khattar discussed in minute details the progress of the project and the challenges they were facing. 'The officers told Khattar that the civil work up to the plinth level is a major task, as it has to be given enough strength. However, the local soil, being sandy, posed challenges before the engineers. The officers also told Khattar that the civil work up to the plinth level is complete now, and the progress of the work will gather speed now,' said Jora. The concept of establishing a nuclear power plant in Gorakhpur village took shape in 1984, when the region fell under the Hisar district. Fatehabad emerged as a distinct district in July 1997, and Gorakhpur was deemed suitable for the project due to its low seismic activity and the feasibility of securing land through compensation. The central government gave its preliminary nod for the 2,800-MW nuclear facility in October 2009, prompting Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) to set up a project office in Hisar by April 2010. Acquiring land proved challenging. The government secured 1,313 acres from Gorakhpur and neighbouring Kajalheri villages, but faced strong resistance from local farmers. The 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan amplified these protests, drawing support from environmental activists and notable figures, like former Army Chief and Union Minister General (Retd) V. K. Singh—now the Governor of Mizoram—who raised concerns about safety and displacement. The agitation persisted until late 2012, when a compensation package of Rs 46 lakh per acre was offered, resolving the farmers' grievances. NPCIL purchased 186 acres in Badopal village in 2011 for a residential complex to house its staff and Central Industrial Security Force personnel. Local opposition, citing threats to the blackbuck habitat, forced NPCIL to scrap this plan in June 2018. Despite these obstacles, the project moved forward, with then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laying the foundation stone on 13 January, 2014.
