1 2 Ranchi: Over 28,000 students in 506 tribal hostels across the state are set to experience significant improvements in their educational journey through enhanced living facilities. These upgrades include better quality meals and new libraries. The initiative, spearheaded by the state welfare department and the school education and literacy department, is poised to upgrade tribal hostels and create a more conducive learning environment for students.

Cong betrayed Telangana's mandate, says Kishan
Hyderabad: Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has launched a blistering attack on the Congress government in Telangana, accusing it of betraying public trust, mismanaging the state economy, and failing to deliver on its pre-election promises. Addressing the media in the national capital on Thursday, Kishan alleged that the Congress party, led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, came to power on the back of six guarantees and 420 sub-guarantees, none of which had been implemented with sincerity. 'Even before coming to power, the Congress lied at every step. Now, after 18 months in office, they have done nothing but take loans to repay debts and make empty trips to Delhi,' he observed and accused the Congress of pushing the state's economy to the brink of collapse through poor governance and incompetence. The Union Minister claimed that Congress was attempting to divert attention from its failures by launching baseless attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government. 'Revanth Reddy, Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi must take full responsibility for the promises made to the people of Telangana,' he remarked. The Congress failed to implement the Minority, Youth, and BC Declarations. For instance, the Congress had promised Rs 1 lakh crore for BC welfare, but not even Rs 40,000 crore had been spent, the BJP leader said. 'They have deceived BC communities with hollow promises and failed to deliver any meaningful empowerment,' he observed.

Independent Michigan gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan raises $3.2M in 6 months
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said Friday his independent Michigan gubernatorial campaign brought in more than $3.2 million over the past six months and has more than $2.3 million cash on hand. According to the Duggan campaign, more than 93 percent of its donations came from Michigan. Duggan's campaign manager Ed Duggan also noted that the campaign has raised nearly $1.4 million over the past 30 days alone. 'As an Independent campaign, we can't rely on party infrastructure for our fundraising. We had to build everything from the ground up,' Ed Duggan said in a statement. 'Our numbers are a sign of the incredible grassroots energy we're feeling on the campaign trail. We couldn't be more grateful for all our supporters who made this possible.' Mike Duggan, who was elected mayor as a Democrat, launched his Independent bid for governor in December. The mayor's latest fundraising numbers come a day after Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D), the front-runner in the Democratic primary, announced her campaign raised more than $3.5 million since its launch in January and has more than $2.4 million in the bank. Benson's and Duggan's hauls are both more than the $1.5 million Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who is term-limited, raised at this point in 2017 after announcing her first gubernatorial bid in January of that year. In this year's Democratic primary, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II's campaign said he raised more than $750,000, while former Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson said his campaign has raised more than $1 million. Gilchrist jumped into the primary in March, and Swanson announced his bid in February. On the Republican side, former state Attorney General Mike Cox (R), who jumped into the race in April, said his campaign has raised $2.4 million and has $1.9 million in the bank. Rep. John James (R-Mich.), state Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt (R), and former state House Speaker Tom Leonard (R) are also running in the GOP primary. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

With eye on JH seat bypolls, Cong to appoint Minority Cell chairperson
Hyderabad: As the Congress gears up for the Jubilee Hills bypolls, fearing loss of minority votes, the party has decided to streamline the Minority Wing. It will be filling up the position of Chairman of TPCC's Minority Wing along with its members, as the wing does not have a head for about 2-years. With over one lakh Muslim voters comprising some 33% of the key Assembly segment in the city, the Congress party remains hopeful of making a mark this time in the Jubilee Hills constituency. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has also urged the party members to ensure for a victory this time. Since the party has failed to get even a single seat in the Assembly polls, the Ministers including City incharge Ponnam Prabhakar is leaving no stone unturned and making regular visits. However, amidst intense lobbying for Minority chairman's post, some seniors are irked by the alleged consideration given to 'juniors' for the department. A few also have written to AICC incharge Meenakshi Natarajan over the injustice. The top aspirants include PCC spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin, PI Ahmed Nasir, Indian Youth Congress leader, Mohammed Irfan, Nizamabad district general secretary and Arshad Shaikh, chairman Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee's Minority Department. Muslim leaders within the party argue that without streamlining the Minority leadership in the State, the party would risk losing even this time to rival parties. 'It's high time the party realises how crucial Minority leadership is for Congress if it wishes to win seats within the GHMC area. Now that the party has some kind of understanding with AIMIM, the party leadership could raise its flag in the constituency with a strong candidate and backing of Muslim votes. If the Minority wing is streamlined, it will immensely contribute even in the other upcoming polls across the State,' feels a party leader. During 2023 Assembly polls, cricketer turned politician Azharuddin lost to BRS candidate Maganti Gopinath by 16,337 votes. While AIMIM which fielded Rashed Farazuddin was able to secure 7,848 and BJP's L Deepak Reddy obtained 25,866 votes. Azharuddin blamed his defeat on AIMIM's splitting of votes. The bypolls are now necessitated by the death of the sitting MLA.
