MLA Amilineni Surendra Babu celebrates birthday with Banjaras
The Banjaras welcomed the MLA with traditional dances, and he cut the birthday cake along with Banjara women, receiving warm wishes from villagers.
Marking the occasion, the MLA inaugurated a new RO (mineral water) plant to provide fluoride-free drinking water to the village. Addressing the gathering, he recalled that during his election campaign visit, villagers had requested road connectivity and a solution to drinking water shortages.
'We immediately arranged motors and pipelines, and after our government came to power, we laid a 5 km tar road to the village,' he said.
He added that when informed about low-hanging power lines, around Rs20 lakh was sanctioned to replace poles, improving the village's electricity infrastructure.
'It's not enough if I am happy alone; every family should be happy. That's why we provided each household with a month's worth of essential goods and a mixer grinder,' he said.
Calling it his privilege to celebrate his birthday in such a remote village, the MLA said the inspiration came from the Chief Minister's vision of staying connected with the people.
During his visit, he noticed a family without a proper house and directed housing officials to immediately sanction and build one.
The celebrations were attended by local residents, Tandaa villagers, mandal party leaders, and senior leaders.

Police start process of filing FIR after MNS workers' ruckus in PMC chief's office
Pune: Police were in the final leg of registering an FIR late Wednesday night, after a group of MNS workers created a ruckus in the office of Pune municipal commissioner Naval Kishore Ram and engaged in a heated exchange of words with him earlier in the day over some electrical appliances and other articles allegedly missing from his official bungalow in Model Colony before he moved in. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Deputy commissioner of police (Zone I) Krushikesh Rawale told TOI late Wednesday night, "We are in the process of registering a case of obstructing public servants from performing his/her duties against the troublemakers, following a complaint application submitted by the PMC (Pune Municipal Commission)." The MNS workers barged into the PMC commissioner's office around 4.30pm. A police team forcibly evicted them around 8.30 pm from the fourth-floor corridor in the PMC main building in Shivajinagar, leading to Ram's office. The incident led to the PMC Engineers' Association and other civic workers' unions calling for a stop-work agitation on Thursday. The officials condemned the MNS workers' behaviour. The alleged missing electrical appliances and other articles worth an estimated Rs20 lakh came to light after Ram moved into the bungalow two months ago, following the retirement of then civic chief. Ram said the matter was being investigated by the PMC's establishment department. MNS functionary Kishor Shinde led the group of party workers to the PMC commissioner's office. He also had a heated argument with Ram. "We went to meet the PMC commissioner and hand him over a memorandum regarding the issue. He spoke to us arrogantly and tried to shoo us away by saying that we were goons. He also made remarks about the Marathi language and our party. It led to heated arguments," said Shinde, who also sat outside the commissioner's cabin. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now PMC chief Ram refuted all the allegations. He told reporters, "I entertained all the visitors throughout the day. The MNS workers entered the meeting room without any prior notice when a meeting was on. Their body language and approach were unceremonious. I just replied to comments made by the leaders." As Shinde and his team continued with their agitation outside the PMC commissioner's cabin, the PMC security department and the police shut the entry-exit points of the civic body's head office as a precautionary measure. A group of MNS workers staged a protest outside the premises.

Ex-MLA Harshvardhan Jadhav sentenced to 1-yr jail
Nagpur: Former Shiv Sena MLA, and son-in-law of Union minister Raosaheb Danve, Harshvardhan Jadhav, age 40, has been sentenced to one year imprisonment and fined Rs20,000 by the Nagpur district court in a case of assaulting a police officer. The incident occurred on December 6, 2014, when Shiv Sena party chief Uddhav Thackeray's meeting was underway at a city hotel. Jadhav attempted to forcibly enter the room. When police inspector Parag Jadhav of the Special Security Squad stopped him, Harshvardhan slapped him on the ear. Sonegaon police had registered a case against him for obstructing govt work and assault. District judge RJ Ray found him guilty in this case after hearing arguments from both sides and examining witnesses. Jadhav had repeatedly remained absent from court hearings. An arrest warrant was also issued against him. Finally, after he appeared in court on February 17, he was sent to jail. Harshvardhan Jadhav, who is currently with chief minister Eknath Shinde 's group, had contested the recent assembly elections against the Shinde Sena's official candidate, which was his wife Sanjana. He lost to her by over 18,000 votes.
