Revanth shreds Centre's take on State debts
Hyderabad: Close on the heels of the Union government declaring in Parliament that Telangana's debts in 10 years were Rs 3.5 lakh crore, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has shredded the Centre's official figures on the mounting debt burden on the state, saying: "The previous government left us with mounting debts and arrears of Rs 8,21,652 crore when the people's government assumed power. Out of this, Rs. 6,71,757 crore are debts. Rs 40,154 crore dues are related to the payments of the employees and other schemes. Rs 1,09,740 crore dues are related to SC, ST sub plan, Singareni (Collieries), electricity and other departments," Reddy said. From the total debts, the state government has completed the debt service of Rs 2,20,676 crore, which included Rs 1,32,498 crore principal amount and Rs 88,178 crore interest amount till the date, he said. Speaking after unfurling the National Flag at the historical Golconda Fort here on Friday to mark the Independence Day, he amplified that, despite facing financial burden, his government was working hard to take the state forward from zero to the top level. Revanth Reddy demanded the Centre to approve the BC quota bills passed by the state legislature. He said the state Assembly has passed two bills to provide 42 per cent quota to Backward Classes in local bodies, education and jobs and sent them for presidential assent. "On this occasion, I once again demand the central government to take a quick decision on the pending bills," he said. The Socio-Economic Caste Survey and SC classification conducted in the state were courageous decisions of the state government in the history of India, he underlined. The Chief Minister took a broadside at the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government on the unbridled encroachment on lakes, ponds and other water bodies in Hyderabad. "In the previous government, people were not serious about the encroachment on lands, ponds and canals due to lack of a credible system. So far, the Hyderabad Disaster Management and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has protected 13 parks and 20 lakes from encroachments. Amberpet Bathukamma Kunta has been restored. The HYDRAA protected government lands worth Rs 30 ,000 crore. Today, the common people are praising HYDRAA. "The opposition parties are using HYDRAA as a weapon for political gains. My appeal to people is to think and compare the past with the current situation when the Hyderabad City received heavy rains". The opposition was trying to create unrest by showing HYDRAA as a failed system, he said. "Today, cities like Bangaluru, Mumbai and Chennai are facing flood problems. Hyderabad should not witness such a plight. To make Hyderabad a safe destination for living, HYDRAA was brought about to curb the encroachment of tanks," he said. Referring to Telangana Rising 2047 document, the Chief Minister said that the document promises a permanent solution to Hyderabad's flooding problem with the Musi Rejuvenation Project. The document also showed how India's Future City, being built to international standards, will be a gateway to the modern world. 'Telangana Rising – 2047 is a plan to radically transform the image of Telangana with the construction of the Gandhi Sarovar project at Bapu Ghat, greenfield highways, dry ports, second phase Metro Rail, radial roads between the Outer and Regional Ring Roads, Warangal and Adilabad airports, Hyderabad-Nagpur, Hyderabad-Bangalore, and Hyderabad-Vijayawada industrial corridors. Our goal is to implement this resolution and make Telangana a key player in the country's progress by 2047. The Telangana Rising – 2047 is a grand visionary document to transform Telangana into a one trillion US dollar economy by 2035 and a 3 trillion UD dollar economy by 2047. This is not just a plan. It is a resolve to make Telangana proud on the world stage.' Further, the Chief Minister said aligning the vision of Telangana Rising 2047 document with that of India@2047: "We are striving to achieve the goals and the role of Telangana in making India number one in the world. Our determination is that Telangana should play a key game changer role that will change the face of India by 2047."

NRI shocked by high prices in India: ‘Kitna paisa hai tum logon ke paas?'
A Dubai-based Indian travel vlogger and radio presenter has gone viral for his candid rant on the high cost-of-living in India. Parikshit Balochi said that as an NRI earning in dirhams, he expected to feel rich every time he returned to India. Instead, the reality has been quite sobering. Dubai-based NRI Parikshit Balochi is shocked by the high prices in India(Instagram/@parikshitbalochi) 'I am an NRI, I was not supposed to feel gareeb (poor) in India,' he said in an Instagram video that has collected over half a million views. During his rant about how expensive India feels, Balochi presented the example of a humble cup of chai that cost him ₹1,000 at his Mumbai hotel. ' ₹1,000 is what we used to put on the stock market when I left India. What is happening?' he asked. From dirhams and dollars to rupees For many decades now, NRIs have enjoyed returning to their motherland because after earning in dollars and dirhams and euros, the Indian rupee feels significantly stronger, making luxuries and experiences more affordable. That is no longer the case, according to Dubai-based Balochi. 'Doston, we had a deal. The deal was I come to India, everything feels cheap. Main paisa udaaun because main dirhams aur dollars mein kama raha hun (I spend lavishly because I earn in dirhams and dollars),' he said on Instagram. 'Dirhams ko rupees mein convert karke kaise shock lag sakta hai yar? It was supposed to be the other way around,' he asked. For some context, one UAE dirham equals around 23.83 Indian rupees. High prices in India In his humorous rant, Parikshit Balochi quipped that he hadn't left India so he could return and sort prices from low to high. He further wondered how much Indians today earn to afford this lifestyle. 'I was supposed to come here and flex. Instead, I have spent so much that I'm looking for a flexible payment plan,' the travel blogger quipped. 'Yahan pe logon se puch raha hun, kitna paisa hai bhai tumhare paas (I'm asking people here how much money they have),' he added. NRIs agree The video drew a number of amused reactions, while some expressed genuine concern about the skyrocketing prices in India. 'Finally someone said it. Prices are skyrocketing in India, that too with dropping quality,' wrote one Instagram user. 'Hahahaha I feel this every time I visit India. My mind is blown at how everything is so expensive and sure, I can afford it because I earn in dollars. But what really amazes me is how the locals manage too, without earning in dollars,' another revealed. 'I was thinking am I the only one who feels gareeb after coming to India,' one user added.

"Tariffing India Won't Stop Putin": US Democrats Panel Amid Trump's Tariff Row
New Delhi: The US House Foreign Affairs Committee of Democrats, the Democratic panel overseeing foreign policy, differed with US President Donald Trump's 50 per cent tariff move with India over Russian oil trade, saying that it "won't stop" Vladimir Putin from continuing the Ukraine war. According to the panel, Trump could give Ukraine military aid to punish Putin. "Tariffing India won't stop Putin. If Trump really wanted to address Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, maybe punish Putin and give Ukraine the military aid it needs. Everything else is smoke and mirrors," the Democratic panel said. Tariffing India won't stop Putin. If Trump really wanted to address Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, maybe punish Putin and give Ukraine the military aid it needs. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. — House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems (@HouseForeign) August 15, 2025 The Democratic panel's remarks came in response to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 's warning New Delhi of increasing secondary tariffs over the Russian oil trade. During an interview with Bloomberg, Bessent said that the rise in tariffs depends on the outcome of Trump's high-stakes meeting with Putin in Alaska - which concluded today with "productive talks". "We've put secondary tariffs on Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, if things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up. I think everyone has been frustrated with President Putin. We expected that he would come to the table in a more fulsome way. It looks like he may be ready to negotiate," he said. Besent was also asked about China being the main purchaser of Russia's crude oil. To this, he said, "Not going to get ahead of the president, but the president is the best at creating leverage for himself, and he will make it clear to President Putin that all options are on the table." Last week, Trump announced an extra 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports as a 'penalty' for continuing to import Russian crude oil - doubling it to 50 per cent on Indian goods. This is the highest tariff Trump has imposed as per his fresh list, apart from Brazil. India condemned the "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable" move by the United States - which is likely to hit many sectors such as textiles and marine exports. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also issued a strong message stressing that India would never compromise with the interests of its farmers and fishermen, adding that while he knows he will "have to pay the price", he was ready to do it for farmers. "The interest of farmers is our top priority. India will never compromise with the interests of its farmers, livestock holders, and fishermen. And I know that I will have to pay a huge price for this personally, but I am ready. India is ready, for the sake of the country's farmers, fishermen, and livestock holders," he said.
