BJP Leaders Urge Collector to Resolve Indiramma Housing Scheme Delays in Wards 29–36
Gadwal: A delegation of BJP leaders, led by Rajaka Jayashree Narasimha, BJP Town President, met with the District Collector to express their serious concern over the non-disclosure of beneficiary names under the Indiramma Housing Scheme in Wards 29 to 36. Despite the selection of several beneficiaries, many have not received official proceedings or the promised support materials required for house construction, resulting in severe hardship. Beneficiaries Left Homeless and Hopeless According to the BJP delegation, although officials selected certain applicants under the housing loan applications submitted during the previous public administration, they failed to issue official proceedings (GO/proceedings orders). Consequently, hopeful beneficiaries, who had demolished their existing homes with the dream of building new ones under the Indiramma Housing Scheme — which grants Rs. 5 lakh per house — were left without shelter or support. Many now find themselves homeless, living on roadsides, devastated by the government's inaction. Key Demands Made by BJP During the meeting with the Collector, the BJP leaders demanded the following: Immediate release of proceedings to all selected beneficiaries in Wards 29 to 36. Timely provision of necessary construction materials, including sand, gravel, iron, and cement, to the selected beneficiaries. Acceleration of the sanctioning of new ration cards to eligible citizens in the same wards. Publication of the full beneficiary list ward-wise, which has not yet been shared with the public. They emphasized that the lack of transparency and follow-up has deeply affected families who pinned all their hopes on the government's promise of housing aid. District Collector's Immediate Response In a positive development, the District Collector responded immediately, acknowledging the issue and making direct phone calls to the concerned officials, instructing them to resolve the problems without delay. The Collector assured the delegation that the matter would be resolved within a week, offering some relief to the distressed citizens and activists. BJP Leaders Present at the Meeting Several BJP leaders participated in this crucial meeting, including: Devadasu, OBC Morcha District President Anil, OBC Morcha State Executive Member Chittari Kiran, Town General Secretary Ramesh, Town Vice President Krishnaveni, Nagaradinne Padma W.D. Narasimha, OBC Morcha General Secretary Dilwale Krishna, Vinod Shekhar, Mulakalapalli Narasimhulu and others. The delegation expressed gratitude for the Collector's prompt attention but insisted on regular monitoring and follow-up to ensure justice for every deserving beneficiary. The issue underscores the urgency of effective governance and communication at the grassroots level. With rising public expectations and infrastructural promises, the execution of welfare schemes must be timely and transparent to avoid such humanitarian crises. The coming week will be crucial for over a hundred families hoping to reclaim their dream of a safe and dignified home.

BSP to discuss steps for OBC outreach today
Lucknow: The Bahujan Samaj Party will hold a meeting of the newly constituted OBC Morcha of its state unit on Tuesday. The OBC Morcha was formed on March 25, when party national president Mayawati issued instructions to the cadre on how to reach out to OBCs in the state to bring them back to the party fold. In the upcoming meeting, UP state president Vishwanath Pal and other senior functionaries will review the action taken on the instructions of the party president. OBCs, along with Dalits, were once the vote base of the BSP. Many OBC leaders in the state, who now have their own political outfits, were once with the BSP, said sources in the party. To win over OBCs, BSP has started putting functionaries from the backward castes in key roles at the district, sector, and booth-level organisation. They have been instructed to reach out to OBCs in villages and towns and expose the anti-OBC agenda of the BJP, Congress, and Samajwadi Party. They will also highlight the steps taken by BSP govts in UP for the welfare of OBCs, such as constituting a separate department for the welfare of backward classes in the state in 1995 and creating two new districts, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Nagar and Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar, in 1997. Mayawati, in the March 25 meeting, asked the cadre to inform the OBCs about the welfare and development schemes initiated for them by the BSP, besides building of memorials, parks, and institutions to immortalise their icons. "Village-level meetings have started and OBCs, along with Dalits, have been made in-charge at every assembly segment to hold these programmes regularly," a party functionary said.

Petition Submitted to Ensure Smooth Implementation of PM Vishwakarma Yojana in Jogulamba Gadwal
Gadwal: Former district BJP president Ramachandra Reddy today submitted a formal petition to District Industrial General Manager Ramalingeshwar Goud, urging effective implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana in Jogulamba Gadwal district headquarters. The petition highlighted several challenges being faced by beneficiaries of the scheme in the district. Under the central government's Vishwakarma Yojana, various traditional artisans and craftsmen have registered online in Jogulamba Gadwal district. Some beneficiaries have even received training certificates. However, many are encountering severe difficulties in accessing financial assistance from banks, which is a crucial component of the scheme. In addition, complaints have emerged from several mandals where village secretaries are reportedly not assisting applicants properly, often stating that they have not received login access. This lack of administrative support is causing delays and confusion among applicants. Taking these issues into consideration, Ramachandra Reddy appealed to the District Industrial General Manager to ensure that the scheme is implemented smoothly and reaches all eligible beneficiaries without bureaucratic hurdles. The submission of the petition was accompanied by a group of prominent BJP leaders and supporters. Among those present were: Baligera Shiva Reddy, the BJP candidate who contested from Gadwal District OBC Morcha President Deva Das Senior BJP leaders Sanjeev Reddy and Dabbileti Narasimha Mandal presidents Gopal Krishna, Seshi, and Nagaraju, along with other local party activists and supporters. The group emphasized that if such grassroots-level issues are not resolved promptly, the very purpose of the Vishwakarma Yojana — which is aimed at empowering traditional artisans and boosting their livelihoods — would be defeated. Local leaders requested authorities to initiate coordination meetings with banks and village officials, provide technical support, and conduct awareness programs to facilitate the smooth implementation of the scheme. The BJP leaders concluded their representation with a call for immediate intervention from higher authorities, ensuring transparency and efficiency in delivering the benefits promised under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana.
