Jagan being protected as per Z+ protocol: Anitha

The Hindu10 hours ago
Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha asserted that there was no need to fuss over the security concerns of former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, as he is receiving adequate protection in accordance to the Z+ category norms.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of Vision-2047 deliberations held on Thursday, she accused the YSRCP's social media wing of misleading the public with frequent posts alleging security lapses during Mr. Jagan's tours in Kurnool, Prakasam and Guntur districts.
She said: 'Mr. Jagan himself does not know what type of security he requires. It is unfair to claim that security arrangements are not being done as per Z+security norms. The issue is left to their wisdom.'
She further added that Mr. Jagan consoled the family members of Singayya at his residence in an attempt to corner the government. It appears to be a novel form of 'Work from Home.'
Earlier, Ms. Anitha alongside Minister for MSME, Kondapalli Srinivas said that Vizianagaram would witness rapid progress, as the government is prioritising the district's development in accordance to the Vision-2047 document.
Later, they participated in 'Suparipalana-Toli Adugu' programme held in Bondapalli village of Gajapathinagaram constituency, represented by Mr. Srinivas.
Ms. Anitha interacted with the locals and asked them if they were satisfied with the implementation of the welfare schemes, under the 'Super-Six' assurances given prior to the 2024 general elections.

Both govt & YSRCP take up door-to-door campaign

Visakhapatnam: After a year, the alliance and YSRCP decided to cross swords. Even as their agendas vary, they intend to check people's pulse, launching campaigns. As the NDA government turns a year old, the alliance flagged off a door-to-door drive under the banner 'suparipalana lo tholi adugu' (first step towards good governance). In connection with it, the ministers plus MLAs swung into action to reach out to constituents in their respective segments, highlight schemes offered, future plans in store along with the initiatives taken so far. On the contrary, the YSRCP is all set to initiate its campaign to flag the government lapses in the past one year. This includes non-implementation of Super Six assurances, absence of development and promises unmet. Recalling Chandrababu Naidu's manifesto, the YSRCP is gearing up to roll out the 'Babu surety-mosam (cheating) guarantee' campaign. Through the drive, the YSRCP leaders intend to take up the government's lapses at district, village and mandal levels. As part of its 'suparipalana lo tholi adugu', the alliance leaders are reaching out to households with a different goal altogether. Along with highlighting the commitments made so far, the aim of the drive is to make people understand how the state is witnessing signs of growth despite five years of YSRCP's misrule. In addition to building awareness about the welfare schemes, the alliance is also keen on educating people on Central government schemes, industries that are going to be established in the state, investments made so far and jobs created for the youth. Agreeing that the Opposition has a right to bring forth the lapses of the government, TDP state president and Gajuwaka MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao, says, 'But there will not be any use even if the YSRCP takes up any false campaign as people have seen what the state government has done in the past one year. They will make the right decision based on the facts and will not get carried away with false propaganda,' the MLA shares with The Hans India. Already, the NDA government implemented schemes such as increased pensions, free LPG cylinders, revived Anna canteens and 'thalliki vandhanam'. Soon, initiatives like 'annadata sukhibhava' and free bus travel for women will also be launched. While the YSRCP plans to launch a door-to-door campaign under the banner 'Babu surety-mosam guarantee', the BJP-TDP-JSP is focusing on its three-month-long drive wherein each party will focus on an entire month for campaigning. With both the alliance and YSRCP deciding to reach out to people through two different agendas, it has to be seen whether people would emerge as more decisive or confused.

Sorry state of affairs, remarks HC judge as online trolls target him

Vijayawada: This is another case for trolls, Justice K Srinivas Reddy remarked while granting bail to the accused in the Tirupati laddu ghee adulteration case on Thursday. The AP high court judge was referring to the social media trolling he was subjected to for the last two days, after his orders in the culpable homicide case under which former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and other YSRCP leaders were booked. The trolling started after he stayed all further proceedings against Jagan and others in the Cheeli Singaiah hit-and-run case. Justice Reddy also expressed his displeasure during the hearing of two different petitions, filed by former minister Kakani Govardan Reddy seeking grant of bail and challenging his judicial remand. As public prosecutor Menda Lakshmi Narayana sought time on the ground that notices to the complainant in the SC/ST case were not served yet, senior counsel Manohar Reddy, arguing on behalf of Kakani, remarked that the public prosecutor is trying to ensure that the hearing does not take place before the bench of Justice Srinivas Reddy. "You know everything... sorry state of affairs," Justice Reddy said, responding to his remark. Though Justice Reddy is not the roster judge to hear criminal petitions, the matters were posted before him as Justice T Mallikharjuna Rao, who holds the roster, went on leave. He posted the hearing on the petitions of Kakani to Tuesday, by when Justice Rao is expected to return. He was also reluctant to hear the petition of former YSRCP MLA Topudurthi Prakash Reddy for grant of bail, which he posted to the same day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tinnitus: what this grandson discovered will surprise you Hearing Magazine Undo This is not the first time judges of AP high court were targeted on social media.

A.P. government focused to complete several pending irrigation projects, says Minister

The government of Andhra Pradesh is all set to intensify efforts to complete several pending irrigation projects in the region in a bid to resolve the long-standing drinking and irrigation water issues in North Andhra, said Minister for Water Resources Nimmala Ramanaidu. The Minister on Thursday chaired a detailed review meeting focusing on the status and challenges of key North Andhra irrigation projects. Speaking to the media after the meeting, the Minister said that the officials have been directed to give top priority to delivering safe drinking water and irrigation resources to the people of North Andhra. In line with this directive, a high-level review meeting will be held by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu next week to assess the progress and set clear targets. 'During the 2014–19 TDP regime, numerous irrigation projects were sanctioned and many reached near-completion for the benefit of North Andhra. Unfortunately, after 2019, the YSRCP government neglected all these works,' the Minister said. Now, within just a year of coming to power, the coalition government is putting every effort into bringing these stalled projects back on track, he added. Mr. Ramanaidu pointed out that 90% of works on the Vamsadhara Stage-II Phase-II and Thotapalli Barrage had already been completed during the TDP regime but were abandoned by the previous administration. 'This negligence is not just inefficiency; it is a betrayal of the people of North Andhra,' he added. The Minister also reviewed the remaining works on the Vamsadhara–Nagavali and Nagavali–Champavati linkage projects, and enquired about the current status from the officials. He sought updates on the pace of ongoing works at the Hiramandalam Lift, Madduvalasa Stage-II, and the Janjavathi Reservoir. In particular, attention was drawn to several stalled projects funded under JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), including the Andhra Reservoir, Raivada, Peddankalam, Peddagedda, and Vattigedda projects. These projects, which were progressing slowly or had come to a complete halt, are now being reassessed for bottlenecks and strategies for completion. Mr. Ramanaidu directed engineers and department officials to prepare comprehensive status reports detailing project priorities, timelines, and required support ahead of the Chief Minister's upcoming review. The reports are expected to outline the estimate time required for each project to be completed and the level of funding and resources necessary. Irrigation Advisor Venkateswara Rao, ENC Narasimhamaurthy, Chief Engineers and Superintending Engineers of various projects, and other senior officials were present.
