Old vs new: Row over Telangana Thalli statue
Jangaon:The installation of the Telangana Thalli statue in Palakurthi snowballed into a major controversy with both the BRS and the Congress cadres hellbent on installing the earlier and the new version of the statue of Telangana Thalli. It may be recalled here that the Revanth Reddy Government unveiled a newly designed Telangana Thalli statue, replacing the previous one that the BRS Government designed. The Congress cadre removed the old Telugu Thalli statue and installed the newly designed statue, despite stern opposition from the BRS cadre. Congress cadre added more fuel to the controversy by throwing the old statue into nearby thorny bushes. In this regard, BRS leader Errabelli Usha Dayakar Rao, wife of former minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao, who represented the Palakurthi constituency thrice before losing in the 2023 election, led a rally with the cadre to the police station on Sunday. But the police stopped their rally and tried to disperse the BRS workers. Fury over the development, Usha Dayakar Rao found fault with the police for giving undue importance to Jhansi Reddy, the mother-in-law of local MLA Yashaswini Reddy. 'Even though Jhansi Reddy didn't have Indian citizenship, the police were giving high priority. Jhansi is behaving like a de facto MLA. Why aren't the police allowing me to the police station to register a complaint against the Congress workers' attacks on BRS cadre?' Usha Dayakar Rao questioned. Referring to the illegal arrests and attacks on BRS workers, she said that they have been counting the mistakes of the police and will pay back after returning to power.

Bhu Bharati, a one-stop redressal system: Ponguleti
Warangal: Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2025, is a single window system that provides a permanent solution to the issues faced by the farmers, Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said. Speaking at an awareness programme here on Tuesday aimed at sensitising the farmers about the importance of Bhu Bharati, a digital land records management system that replaces the BRS Government's flawed Dharani, he said that all the hiccups have been removed, and it's a fool-proof legislation - fast and genuine. After the PowerPoint presentation of the Act, Reddy said that the government had gone through the revenue laws implemented by the 18 States in the country, and had consulted the experts before drafting a role-model-like land record system. The discorded Dharani was full of loopholes and forced the hapless farmers to knock on the doors of the judiciary even for a petty issue, Ponguleti said. 'As of now, Bhu Bharati implementation will be taken on a pilot basis in four mandals in the State. The revenue officials would meet the farmers and resolve the problems faced by them. The new system is free of cost, and the farmers need not have to worry about the expenses. The sada bainama issues will also be addressed, he added. The awareness programmes will be organised in all mandals by Wednesday (April 30). A seminar on Bhu Bharati will be organised in all mandal headquarters on June 2, the Telangana Formation Day, he added. Minister for Forests, Environment, and Endowment Konda Surekha, Warangal Mayor Gundu Sudharani, and Wardhannapet MLA K R Nagaraju heaped praise on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for rolling out a better grievance redressal system to protect the interests of the farmers. Warangal district collector Satya Sharada, municipal commissioner Ashwini Tanaji Wakade, additional collector G Sandhya Rani, farmers, and local leaders were among others present. In a gesture, Ponguleti offered financial assistance to a girl student, Liti, who qualified for admission to Class V in a prestigious educational institution but had no means of monetary support. Ponguleti, who listened to the girl's grandma's plea, immediately responded positively.
