NHRC registers case on Sakshi TV for misogynistic remarks
CM Naidu indulged in diversionary tactics: MLC Varudu Kalyani VIJAYAWADA: YSRCP MLC Varudu Kalyani lambasted the TDP-led NDA government for using women as pawns in its diversionary tactics. Speaking to the media at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli on Wednesday, she condemned the TDP for orchestrating attacks on Sakshi media offices by inciting women to divert public attention from the government's failures. 'It is utterly disgraceful that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu stooped to such low, using women to shield his administration's incompetence,' she said. 'The TDP is attempting to falsely put the blame on the YSRCP to further its malicious agenda. This is not just an attack on the media, it is an assault on truth and democracy. The coalition government is desperate to silence voices that expose its failures,' the YSRCP women's wing president said, emphasising that such conspiracies will not suppress the people's demand for transparency and accountability.

Mango Politics In South: Karnataka Asks Andhra To Revoke 'Totapuri' Ban
New Delhi: Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are engaged in a political standoff over mangoes, with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah writing to his Andhra counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu, urging him to revoke the ban on the entry of Totapuri mangoes from the Chittoor district. The move comes just two days after Karnataka's Chief Secretary formally raised the issue with the Andhra Pradesh government. In his strongly worded letter, Mr Siddaramaiah expressed "deep concern" over the ban, calling it an "abrupt and unilateral move" that has severely impacted mango farmers in Karnataka's border regions. These farmers, he said, grow 'Totapuri' mangoes in large quantities and depend heavily on Chittoor's well-established pulp processing and marketing ecosystem to sell their produce. "The current restriction has disrupted this well-established supply chain and threatens significant post-harvest losses, directly impacting the livelihoods of thousands of farmers," Mr Siddaramaiah wrote in the letter. He also highlighted that the ban undermines the principles of cooperative federalism, warning that such decisions made without prior consultation could lead to avoidable tensions and potential retaliatory measures. "Stakeholders are already expressing discontent that could potentially disrupt the interstate movement of vegetables and other agricultural commodities," the Chief Minister cautioned. The controversy erupted following an order issued on June 7 by the District Collector of Chittoor, which allegedly imposed a ban on 'Totapuri' mangoes entering the district from other states. To enforce the ban, the Andhra Pradesh government is said to have deployed multidisciplinary teams comprising officials from the Revenue, Police, Forest, and Marketing departments at inter-state check posts along the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu borders. On June 10, Karnataka's Chief Secretary flagged the issue to the Andhra Pradesh government. The Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh is a major hub for mango pulp extraction and export, especially of the Totapuri variety. Karnataka farmers have long maintained symbiotic ties with these units. With the ban in place, hundreds of tonnes of Totapuri mangoes are now stuck at the border, risking spoilage and losses for farmers already grappling with high input costs and weather uncertainties. As the mango season is in full swing, both states are now under pressure to resolve the issue quickly and avoid a larger inter-state trade conflict.

"He brings schemes that we had not imagined": Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria applauds PM Modi
Chandigarh [India], June 12 (ANI): Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, applauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stated that the schemes he had brought in 11 years of governance had laid the foundation for progress. 'Every person experiences what PM Modi has done for the poor in 11 years. He brings such schemes that we had not imagined. When Swachh Bharat Abhiyan started, people used to make fun of it, saying it wouldn't happen. But look at today, it has progressed,' Kataria told ANI. The Punjab Governor also stated how the PM's schemes had brought people in the country above the poverty line, further stating that it was a big achievement for the country. 'We had never thought that every household would get water, but now it is happening. 50 crore people have got food grains, every household has got electricity, and Mudra Yojana- every kind of business has benefited from it. In the last few years, about 24-35 crore people have come out of the poverty line. This is a big achievement for the country,' he further added. BJP MP Manoj Tiwari emphasised that whatever happened in the 11 years under the PM's governance was a 'sanjeevani.' Speaking to the media, Tiwari emphasised that they are not going to stop now. 'Whatever has happened in these eleven years is a 'Sanjeevani', but we are not going to stop now. We are planning for at least Rs 8000 crores more in the next five years, and we are fully confident that there will be no shortage of it as long as Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister,' he said. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta credited the Central Government for significant development and relief initiatives in Delhi over the past 11 years on Tuesday, citing achievements in healthcare, infrastructure, and welfare schemes. Speaking to media reporters, Delhi CM said, 'The situation in Delhi was different during the 11 years of the Central Government's tenure.' Citing developments in healthcare, she pointed to the performance of AIIMS. 'Just look at the hospitals today. AIIMS handles 5 lakh OPD cases annually, which helps reduce the burden on Delhi's hospitals,' she added. Delhi CM also highlighted the infrastructure growth, 'The central government approved a road project worth RS 1.25 lakh crore.' She further said, 'The credit for the metro goes to the central government. The Centre has launched one phase after another of the metro.' She listed various schemes implemented by the central government. 'Under the Mudra Yojana, loans were distributed to the people of Delhi. Under the Garib Kalyan Yojana, free ration was provided.' '1,731 colonies were regularised. Loans worth Rs 300 crore were given to 2 lakh street vendors. Rs 6,000 was provided as Kisan Samman Nidhi to 12,000 farmers,' CM Gupta added. (ANI)
