TPCC chief slams Centre over urea shortage
Speaking at a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan here on Tuesday, Mr. Goud provided details about the plight of many farmers due to urea shortage and emphasised that Congress MPs from Telangana, backed by leaders like Priyanka Gandhi, are actively protesting in Parliament to address the issue.
Mr. Goud pointed out that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao have written several times to the Centre, expressing concerns over the urea shortage.
'Despite these efforts, the Centre led by NDA has not fulfilled Telangana's urea allocation, with a shortfall of nearly 3 lakh metric tonnes, causing significant hardship for farmers,' he said, and demanded that the Centre immediately supply Telangana's allocated share of urea.
Mr. Goud also criticised BJP leaders from the State, including Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay Kumar, accusing them of negligence and colluding with the BRS to malign the Congress government's image. 'While farmers are protesting here for urea, Mr. Kishan Reddy is 'sleeping in Delhi',' the MLC said, questioning their commitment to the State's welfare. He also observed that this would not do any good for democracy.

Won't governments be at whims of governor if bills can be withheld indefinitely, asks SC
The Supreme Court on Wednesday questioned whether elected governments could be placed at the 'whims and fancies' of a governor who can simply withhold assent to bills without returning them to legislatures, Live Law reported. A bench of Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justices Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, PS Narasimha and AS Chandurkar has been hearing arguments on a reference made to the court by President Droupadi Murmu about its April 8 ruling that set timelines for governors and the president to grant assent to bills passed by legislatures. The court had issued a notice on July 22 to the Centre and all state governments on the reference. During the hearing on Wednesday, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, told the bench that the governor had four options when it came to granting assent to bills as per Article 200 of the Constitution, Live Law reported. This included granting assent, withholding assent, reserving the bill for the president's consideration or returning the bill to the Assembly. If the governor says that he is withholding the assent, then it means that the bill 'dies', Mehta said. He added that the governor does not have to return the bill to the Assembly for reconsideration if assent is withheld. 'According to you, withholding means the bill falls through?' Live Law quoted Gavai as saying. 'But then, if he does not exercise the option of resending for reconsideration, he will withhold it for time immemorial.' In response, the solicitor general said that the Constitution itself had given that discretion to the governor. 'Are we then not giving total powers to the governor to sit in appeals?' Live Law quoted the chief justice as replying. 'The government elected by majority will be at the whims and fancies of the governor.' The bench also said that the governor would have to 'declare' or communicate his decision on a bill in any case and not withhold assent without providing a reason, Bar and Bench reported. It further said that the central point of the debate would be about the meaning of 'withholding' and to see whether it meant temporary or permanent. On the question about when a governor could withhold assent, the solicitor general said that this would be when a bill has provisions that violate fundamental rights or are not desirable. The power to withhold is to be used rarely and only in the first instance as it leads to the death of the bill, he added. 'Governor is not just a postman,' Bar and Bench quoted Mehta as saying. 'He represents Union of India, appointed by the president. The president is elected by entire nation by way of entire election and that is also a way of democratic expression.' The court, however, noted that even when the governor withholds the assent, the 'political process' could knock on his door and he can send the bill back for reconsideration. 'But to say that when first time he says 'I withhold, the matter comes to an end'. It can't be like that,' Bar and Bench quoted Narasimha as saying. The hearing will continue on Thursday. The Supreme Court's April 8 ruling came on a petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government after Governor RN Ravi did not act on several bills for more than three years before rejecting them and sending some to the president. The court held that governors must decide on bills within a reasonable time and cannot delay indefinitely under Article 200. Similarly, the president must act within three months under Article 201, and any delay beyond that must be explained and communicated to the state government. Both provisions outline the process of assent to bills by governors and the president. The judgment had also introduced the concept of 'deemed assent' in cases of prolonged inaction, allowing pending bills to be considered approved. In May, Murmu made the reference to the court under Article 143(1) of the Constitution with regard to its April 8 ruling.

Real money gamers lose over long term, apps did not check massive user losses: Vaishnaw
The Centre is pushing ahead with a ban on real-money online gaming, citing widespread financial losses and societal harm, a move that threatens to shutter dozens of startups in what was once a sunrise sector. Union minister for IT and broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw said the clampdown on online gaming is not a 'knee-jerk' reaction, but a response to thousands of complaints from users who have lost thousands of crores against companies like Dream11 and RummyCircle. 'Without checks and balances, these companies have time and again refused to safeguard the interest of citizens,' Vaishnaw said in an interview. 'We found irrefutable proof that the algorithms of online gaming firms are built in such a way that no user can ever emerge as a net winner in the long run.' Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, approved by the Union cabinet a day earlier. The bill now goes to the Rajya Sabha and further to the President for assent, before it becomes law. Vaishnaw said that if the bill does not go to a special committee for vetting, his ministry will move to notify the bill tentatively 'within the next three months.' According to three government officials, Indians lose nearly ₹ 15,000 crore every year playing so-called real-money games, where players can win or lose money based on the outcome of the game. Data compiled by two of the top gaming apps shows India has 500 million gamers hooked to fantasy sports, rummy, poker and other competitive games. The law will likely face legal challenges. It is almost certain to be brought before the Supreme Court, which is already hearing a separate case on the tax liabilities of online gaming companies. While the government expects a legal pushback, it does not expect the law to go through major changes, Vaishnaw said. 'We're not looking to regulate gambling—we're regulating gaming that leads to users losing money and the quality of our society degrading significantly. This is very much within the Centre's ambit,' he said. The ban drew sharp criticism from the online gaming industry. Jay Sayta, a lawyer representing multiple gaming firms in the Supreme Court, said the bill would 'destroy the startups' and push users toward unregulated offshore operators. The gaming industry, which has not yet commented publicly, has been reaching out to the government for intervention. The top four —Sporta Technologies, Gameskraft Games24x7 and Galactus Funware, which run Dream11, RummyCulture, RummyCircle and Mobile Premier League respectively— on Tuesday wrote to Union home minister Amit Shah through industry bodies, seeking intervention in the matter. The companies pleaded that the ban would lead to nearly 400 companies shutting shop and hundreds of thousands of job losses. Vaishnaw acknowledged the lack of direct industry consultations, but said the law was based on "years of industry conversations" and "robust inter-ministerial discussions." He added that while the ban might lead to a 1% dip in Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue, protecting citizens remains the government's top priority. Despite industry warnings of up to 200,000 job losses, Vaishnaw believes the law will ultimately promote esports and casual gaming, fostering a new, safer ecosystem. He hinted that a mechanism may be created for companies to seek recourse if they can prove they have adequately addressed consumer harms. The ban also deals heavy blow to hundreds of social media influencers long patronized by online gaming platforms. Industry insiders estimate that such endorsements account for 20-30% of the marketing revenues for mid-tier influencers. There was unanimous agreement across every party involved that this law has been required for a very long time, and we've taken a step in the right direction by cracking down on an industry that for long has harvested financial and physical harm to many users," he said. Lawyers involved in the representation said that as of Wednesday evening, no stakeholder of the industry received any indication that the Centre was willing to hear from any of the online gaming startups.
