Telangana BJP president N Ramchander Rao demands apology from Bhatti Vikramarka over Rohith Vemula claim
Telangana BJP
president N Ramchander Rao has demanded an unconditional public apology from deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka for allegedly linking him to the 2016 suicide of University of Hyderabad student Rohith Vemula.
The BJP Telangana unit also issued a statement on X, saying if the deputy chief minister fails to retract his remarks, the party will go ahead with defamation proceedings seeking Rs 25 crore in damages.
The controversy stems from a statement made by Bhatti during a press conference at the AICC headquarters in Delhi last week. Expressing strong objection to Rao's recent appointment as BJP's state president, Bhatti accused him of pressuring police and university authorities in the Vemula case, which he claimed led to the student's expulsion from the hostel and eventual suicide. In response, Rao's legal counsel served a formal notice on Tuesday, demanding a retraction and apology.

School jobs case: ED summons Bengal minister for questioning
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday issued a notice to West Bengal minister in charge of the state micro, small and medium enterprises and textiles department, Chandranath Sinha, for questioning in the multi-crore cash-for-school-job case in the state. Sources aware of the development said that Sinha had been asked to be present at the ED's office at the central government office (CGO) Complex at Salt Lake in the northern outskirts of Kolkata on July 31 On that day, Sinha, had been asked to be present at the ED's office with his bank accounts and property details. However, Sinha had refrained from making any comments to the media persons over the notice from the ED. This is the second time that ED has summoned Sinha in connection with the school-job case in West Bengal. Earlier, in September last year, he arrived at ED's office in Salt Lake and faced questioning in the matter. The ED officials first secured the name of the minister from the diary of the middleman and now-suspended Trinamool Congress leader Kuntal Ghosh, who was later arrested by the central agency officials. In fact in March last year, the ED officials conducted raid and search operations at the minister's residence at Bolpur in Birbhum district. After the raid and search operations, the ED officials seized cash of Rs 41 lakh and a mobile phone from his residence. Sinha is known to be close to Trinamool Congress strongman and the former district president of the party in Birbhum, Anubrata Mondal. Earlier in March last year, Sinha was also summoned by the ED for questioning in connection with the multi-crore cattle-smuggling case in West Bengal.

Delhi L-G inaugurates third ‘Aarambh Library' in Dwarka
To foster a holistic reading culture among the students of Dwarka sub-city, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V. K. Saxena on Monday inaugurated an 'Aarambh Library' in Dwarka, to provide a good environment at a cost of Rs 1,000 a month. The library with seating capacity for 65 students was thrown open on the first anniversary of the tragic incident in July 2024, where three students preparing for civil services lost their lives in flooded basement reading rooms in Rajinder Nagar. Talking to media persons, Saxena said: 'Soon after the incident I had resolved to give affordable and good facilities to the students so that they make careers in the Capital and not lose their lives in the process. This initiative is a step in that direction.' The Sector 16-B based Dwarka library-cum-reading room is the third Aarambh Library to be opened since January. The Aarambh network is poised for further expansion with upcoming libraries planned in Vikaspuri and Rohini. 'The two libraries will be inaugurated in the next 20 days,' Saxena said, adding that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi was hurt by the unfortunate incident in Old Rajender Nagar last July. 'Even PM Modi had insisted after the incident that we should make available good reading room facilities across the city,' he said, adding that a total of 10 libraries are targeted to be set up under the initiative. Saxena said under the project the Delhi Development Authority is converting the less used community centres into libraries. The Dwarka library marks the third state-of-the-art library-cum-reading room under the 'Aarambh' series, following the successful inauguration of the first library at Old Rajinder Nagar on January 5, 2025, and recently inaugurated second library at Adhchini Village on July 10, 2025. Open to all 24x7, the library is equipped with modern facilities and can accommodate around 200 students across three 8-hour shifts, at a nominal monthly fee of Rs 1,000 per shift. It also provides student-friendly environment with seamless Wi-Fi, secure lockers, CCTV surveillance, cafeteria, outdoor seating, open gymnasium, and running track.
