Khuba accuses state govt of creating artificial fertiliser shortage
Pic: Bhagwant Khuba, a former Union minister and BJP functionary, speaks at a press conference on Sunday evening in Bidar Bidar: Former Union minister and BJP functionary Bhagwant Khuba asserted that the Union govt is supplying fertilisers to the state based on the demand for the monsoon season. However, he accused the Congress govt in the state of artificially creating a shortage and selling fertilisers at inflated prices in the black market, thus embezzling funds. During a press conference on Sunday evening, he expressed his concerns about the lack of urea and DAP fertilisers in the state, which led to significant disruptions. He vehemently condemned the actions of the Congress govt. Khuba highlighted that fertilisers are being sold at Rs 100 above the standard rates in black markets. Despite sufficient supplies, a fabricated shortage appears to exist. He criticised the Congress for persistently blaming the Modi govt while they continue to receive regular fertiliser supplies and financial support from the central govt. Drawing from his experience as the former Union minister for fertilisers, Khuba challenged Congress's claims regarding fertiliser distribution. He noted that the black market for fertilisers is prevalent in all states governed by Congress, not just in Karnataka. He provided detailed statistics: The state requires 11.1 lakh metric tonnes of urea for monsoon farming. The central govt supplied 8.7 lakh metric tonnes, with 7 lakh metric tonnes already allocated and 1.6 lakh metric tonnes still available. Regarding DAP, out of a need for 4 lakh metric tonnes, 2.95 lakh metric tonnes have been supplied, with 2.2 lakh metric tonnes distributed and 71,000 metric tonnes remaining. District BJP unit president Somnath Patil criticised the state govt's apparent indifference to central initiatives. He pointed out the delays in providing relief to farmers affected by adverse weather conditions. He connected 3,400 farmer suicides over the past two years to flawed state policies. District BJP youth unit president Santhosh Reddy, District BJP Raita Morcha president Shivaraj Almaje, District BJP media coordinator Srinivas Chaudhary, Babuwali, Fernandes Hippalgaon, and many other functionaries were present.

Waqf Amendment Act Will Protect Rights of Poor Muslims: DK Aruna
Mahabubnagar: An awareness program on the Waqf Amendment Act was organized today at DK Bungalow in Gadwal town under the leadership of District BJP President Ramajaneyulu. Mahabubnagar MP DK Aruna, who attended as the chief guest, said that with the passing of the Waqf Bill in Parliament under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the rights of poor Muslims are now better protected. She said the BJP government is committed to ensuring social justice and respecting the dignity of every citizen. Aruna explained that although the Waqf Act was meant to help poor Muslims, its true purpose was not fulfilled for centuries. She pointed out that instead of benefiting the poor, many Waqf properties remained under the control of a few influential people. "Now, with the amendments, these properties will be properly regulated and will help the economic development of the Muslim community," she said. Aruna criticized the Congress party, saying that those who claim to fight for poor Muslims are staging protests along with Congress leaders. She also mentioned
