TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud denies rift over padayatra; blames 'false' media reports
NIZAMABAD: Refuting the 'false' reports being published by certain media houses, claiming that there is opposition within the Congress over the ongoing Janahita Padayatra, TPCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Sunday alleged that some people were trying to create a rift among the ruling party leaders. The TPCC chief was addressing a district-level Congress workers meeting at Argul village as the Padayatra continued in the Nizamabad district. 'Some media outlets have been spreading false information, claiming that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had requested the AICC leadership to stop the Janahita Padayatra. The programme was proposed by the chief minister and finalised in Delhi in the presence of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka,' he said. 'There are no differences within the Congress. Those who are trying to create divisions in the Congress for personal and political gains would be disappointed,' he added. Referring to the upcoming local body elections, the TPCC chief expressed confidence in the ruling party securing maximum number of seats. 'In the next Assembly elections too, the Congress would secure 80 per cent of the seats and retain power. This government would last for more than 15 years.' Earlier in the day, the Congress leaders participated in a 'sramadanam' programme at the Aluru ZPHS School.

Won't let AP take even a drop of Telangana's water share: Congress
1 2 Hyderabad: Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Friday said that the state govt will not allow the Andhra Pradesh to take even a drop of Telangana's deserving water share from the Godavari through the Banakacherla project. Addressing the media after his padayatra in the Andole assembly constituency, Mahesh Goud accused former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and former irrigation minister T Harish Rao of mortgaging the interests of Telangana to Andhra by allowing the neighbouring state to take up the Banakacherla project. "Is it not KCR and Harish whose signatures during the previous BRS govt allowed AP to take up the Banakacherla project? On the other hand, the Congress govt led by chief minister A Revanth Reddy and irrigation minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy took up the issue with the Centre, Union Jal Shakti Ministry, central water commission, and Godavari River Management Board, and successfully stopped the AP from going ahead further with works on the Banakacherla project," he said.

During his padayatra, the TPCC chief listed all the welfare schemes being implemented by the Congress govt, including over 60,000 govt jobs given to the youth in just 18 months. "The Congress govt has stopped the supply of coarse rice through fair price shops and is giving fine rice free of cost to all the poor in the state," he said. Meenakshi takes dig at RSS AICC in-charge of Telangana Meenakshi Natarajan said that while the Congress works for the welfare of the people, RSS does it with an ulterior motive. She called upon the party cadres to work to know the problems of the people and bring them to the notice of the govt for solutions.

TPCC chief lauds film on Phule, asks CM for tax exemption
HYDERABAD: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Saturday lauded the recently released biographical film Phule, calling it a compelling and inspiring portrayal of the revolutionary life of social reformer Jyotirao Phule. Speaking after a special screening organised by veteran Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao, Mahesh Kumar Goud recalled that at a time when education for women was considered taboo, Phule defied entrenched caste hierarchies and patriarchal norms by educating his wife, Savitribai Phule. 'In an era devoid of technological advancement, he envisioned a progressive society and laid the foundation for women's education. Thanks to Phule's relentless efforts, today Bahujans are able to access education and attain respectable positions in society. This film is a fitting tribute to that legacy,' the TPCC chief said. He also appreciated the makers of Phule, including the director and the entire cast and crew, for vividly bringing to life a two-century-old narrative. 'The film feels as real and powerful as history itself,' he observed. The TPCC leader noted that Phule is receiving widespread support from Congress cadre across the country, including senior leader Rahul Gandhi, who has encouraged party workers to watch the film. He urged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to grant tax exemption for the film, stating that it sends a strong social message and must reach a wider audience. 'This film makes it abundantly clear how Phule toiled for a future he would never live to see. It's now our responsibility to honour that legacy,' Goud concluded, calling upon all citizens, especially the youth, to watch the film and reflect on its message.
