Telangana government not sincere in fulfilling its declarations, says Harish Rao
In a statement on Monday, Harish Rao criticised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who claims to hail from Nallamala, for allegedly ordering arrest of tribals while simultaneously announcing the Nallamala Declaration. 'Is this what you call Praja Palana?' Harish Rao questioned.
He said the public was angry with the government for not honouring its assurances. 'Farmers are in a pathetic situation, forced to make repeated rounds to banks due to the government's failure to waive crop loans,' he said. He added that farmers who lost their crops at procurement centres or due to hailstorms were looking to the government for support.
Harish Rao further pointed out that women were still waiting for the promised Rs 2,500 monthly support under the Mahalakshmi scheme. Parents of unmarried girls were awaiting the one tola gold, and girls were yet to receive the two-wheelers promised to them. Unemployed youth were eagerly waiting for notifications to fill two lakh government jobs, while students were hoping for Rs 5 lakh cards under the Vidya Bharosa scheme.
He alleged that pensions had not been disbursed to physically handicapped persons, and government employees were still waiting for their DA installments and the implementation of the Pay Revision Commission. 'The government hasn't even absorbed RTC employees into regular government service,' he said.
Harish Rao also criticised the chief minister for being inconsistent in his statements. 'The chief minister, who recently claimed that the state was bankrupt, is now saying that Telangana ranks number one in tax collections,' he said. 'Even the chameleons in the Nallamala forest are shocked at how frequently Revanth Reddy changes his colours,' he quipped.

Several politicians and celebrities, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, actors Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, and filmmaker Siddharth Anand have expressed their disapproval of the order. While the Delhi government said it would seek suggestions from stakeholders before framing a detailed plan to relocate street dogs, officials noted the civic bodies will start the process of implementing the apex court's order in a phased manner after Independence Day. What the SC said? Hearing a suo motu case initiated on July 28 over stray dog bites leading to rabies in the national capital, the apex court on Monday directed authorities to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR localities and put them in shelters, while saying the canines won't return to the streets. A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan passed a slew of directions and warned of strict action, including contempt proceedings, against anyone obstructing the process.
