Jagan silent on ‘voter theft' due to BJP ties: Gidugu Rurdra Raju
Congress Working Committee member and former Pradesh Congress Committee president Gidugu Rudra Raju on Sunday alleged that the former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was unable reluctant to speak on the 'vote theft' issue due to his relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders. He added that Mr. Jagan had a 'direct hotline' connection to the BJP headquarters, which made him criticise Rahul Gandhi, who exposed the 'vote theft' issue with evidence. Mr. Rudra Raju who was visiting North Andhra to attend a few marriages while speaking to the media praised Rahul Gandhi's relentless fight against the discrepancies in voters lists in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana. He said: 'If Mr. Jagan is really a victim of manipulations of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) manipulation during the 2024 general elections , he should fight back and not become a puppet in the hands of BJP high command. The Congress will give a befitting reply if anyone makes remarks against its leaders.' He welcomed the Supreme Court's directive to the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter's list. 'The ECI's unilateral cancellation of voting right for 65 lakh people was exposed with the Supreme Court's order. It has boosted the morale of all the opposition parties of the INDIA Bloc. Rahul Gandh's 'Vote Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar will deter election authorities from colluding with the ruling BJP and NDA partners hereafter,' Mr. Rudra Raju added. Mr. Rudra Raju who has been newly elected Observer for Himachal Pradesh, said that the Congress Party's momentum is growing nationwide and it began with Rahul Gandhi's fight against the Narendra Modi government misrule and alleged misuse of Constitutional institutions like CBI, ED, ECI and others.

How people on internet reacted to India-Pak ceasefire
India's announcement of a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan came as a surprise, marking the end of several days of intense military engagement between the two nations in the aftermath of the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam. However, the decision has sparked widespread debate online, with many expressing dissatisfaction and arguing that India should have continued its offensive until achieving a decisive 'victory' over media platforms have been flooded with reactions to the ceasefire. While some welcomed the de-escalation, emphasising the importance of avoiding war at all costs, others viewed it as a disappointing retreat. There was also criticism of the United States' involvement in the discussions, with some users questioning the need for external mediation."We Indian's did not expected this from you... to bow down due to pressure from US... We wanted you to capture Pakistan and we could have taught them a good lesson," a user, Rudra Raju, tweeted. Vinod Koul, another user, while responding to the news of the truce agreement, said, "It was a mistake. Don't trust them. Demolish them". The same sentiment was shared by many."Modiji lost trust of Indian people. We need yogiji as our PM. Now onwards i vote only when yogiji become PM modiji today u did a biggest mistake of your life," said Kalpesh question raised by many social media users was whether the ceasefire would lead to lasting peace.A Facebook user, Sanjeev Ranjan, responding to a discussion, asked, "Will this ceasefire ensure no more incursions from Pakistan side?" "Will governments ensure that innocents will not get killed ? Ensure Pahalgam doesn't get repeated ? Can people who have lost their loved ones get over their deep wounds ? Will there be security for tourists or it's for politicians only ? If the answer is yes, then peace is worth it ..!!" Another user lamented, 'Justice will never be served in India". Even "Narendra Modi has failed", so there's no reason to expect anything from anyone in the to Rudra Raju, the ceasefire should have been temporary, meant only to test whether Pakistan would adhere to today, the government announced that India and Pakistan had agreed to de-escalate tensions following a truce proposal initiated by Islamabad.

Pawan Kalyan's remarks irrelevant: Rudra Raju
Rajamahendravaram: Criticising Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan for his controversial remarks, senior Congress leader and CWC member Gidugu Rudra Raju said the Congress party does not have the time or patience to respond to leaders like him, who frequently shift their ideologies and confuse the public. Speaking to media here, Rudra Raju expressed strong disapproval of Pawan Kalyan's recent comments, in which he accused Congress leaders of having sympathies for Pakistan. Rudra Raju asserted that it was the Congress Party that first condemned the brutal terrorist attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam and demanded strict action. He reminded that Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi had extended full support to any decisive action the government might take, as declared during the CWC meeting. Raju said that the Congress Party has always stood for the nation and not for religion, adding that it is the BJP that consistently indulges in religion-based politics. Referring to Pawan Kalyan's political alliances, Rudra Raju cautioned that BJP is merely using him in different states to expand its influence and will discard him once its goals are achieved. Recognising this early would be beneficial for Pawan Kalyan's political future, he suggested. He questioned the appropriateness of such statements from a person holding the Deputy Chief Minister's position, especially when unresolved matters like the implementation of bifurcation promises and financial aid for the Polavaram project remain pressing for Andhra Pradesh. He recalled how Pawan Kalyan had once mocked BJP's package offer in place of Special Category Status by comparing it to 'stale laddus'. That courage, he claimed, is missing in today's Pawan Kalyan.
