Poor urged to utilise govt schemes to save money
Wanaparthy: ExciseMinisterJupally Krishna Rao participated as a chief guest along with District Collector Adarsh Surabhi at an awareness seminar in Panagal Mandal on Saturday. Speaking about Indiramma housing, he advised that only the most eligible and genuinely poor should be recommended by the committees. On social issues, the minister expressed concern that poor people are falling into debt due to unnecessary celebrations and expenses. He criticised the trend of private schooling, private healthcare, and excessive functions, leading to financial strain. 'The government is investing in public education infrastructure and teacher appointments, and people should send their children to government schools to save money,' he stressed. Speaking on awareness about Bhu Bharati Act, he said that ancestral lands, lands bought through hard work, government-given lands to the poor (Poramboku lands), and even valuable government lands were lost due to the deceptive Dharani Act. 'Soon, the village revenue systemwould be reintroduced, and land records would be properly safeguarded,' said Jupally. He also said that revenue officials are responsible for identifying encroached lands in Chinnambavi and Panagaland restoring them as government property. Later, the Collector informed that pamphlets about the Bhu Bharati law are being distributedto raise awareness among the locals and that once implemented, people must refrain from citing ignorance about the law. 'Make use of these awareness events,' he stressed.

Ponguleti hits back at KCR
Khammam (Nelakondapalli): Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy strongly criticised former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) during an awareness conference on the Bhu Bharati Act held in Surdepalli, Nelakondapalli mandal, Khammam district on Tuesday. Responding to KCR's recent comments made in Warangal, the minister questioned, 'Is your stomach burning because the poor are eating affordable rice? Or because Indiramma is giving houses to the poor? Or perhaps because farmers received proper loan waivers?' He suggested that KCR's frustration is coming because of the welfare initiatives under the current government led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The minister also took aim at the previous administration's Dharani Act, claiming it was implemented without due process and caused widespread hardship. 'For three and a half years, Dharani existed without proper procedures. Many people suffered, and none benefited,' he alleged. Highlighting the Bhu Bharati Act as a corrective measure, he said it was developed after studying revenue laws across 18 states. Inputs from intellectuals, retired officials, and senior collectors were considered to ensure justice for the poor. 'This Act is a product of careful reform, aimed at rectifying past mistakes and empowering the common people,' he stated.
