Voting Cong once again will stop welfare schemes: KTR
Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi has begun preparations for the Jubilee Hills bypoll, with the party organising on Sunday a meeting of the activists of the constituency. Giving them a pep talk, the party's working president, KT Rama Rao, said that if the Congress was voted again in the by-polls, existing welfare schemes would also be stopped. Rama Rao paid tribute to late Maganti Gopinath and said that the by-election, necessitated by his demise, should be taken seriously. He called on the cadre to work hard to ensure BRS' victory. 'Let us hoist the pink flag once again in Jubilee Hills as a tribute to Gopinath garu,' he told the party workers. He asked each worker to take responsibility for at least 100 votes or 25 households and explain the difference between KCR's administration and the current Congress regime to the public. Strongly criticising the Congress party's 20-month rule in Telangana, calling it 'incompetent, anarchic, and riddled with corruption', the BRS working president urged the public to teach a fitting lesson to the grand old party for betraying every section of Telangana society through false promises and deceptive declarations. Rao alleged that top Congress leaders like Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Mallikarjun Kharge had misled the people of Telangana with fake declarations during the elections. 'Congress leaders, including Revanth Reddy, have failed to fulfil the promises they made and had instead cheated the people,' KTR said, adding, 'Such a deceitful government must be shown its place.' KTR mentioned that several welfare programmes had already stopped since the Congress came to accused the BJP and the Congress of colluding in Telangana politics. 'The BJP-led central government is shielding Revanth Reddy's corruption, which is why Prime Minister Modi hasn't filed a single case against him,' KTR claimed, alleging the only agenda of the two parties was to defeat the Telangana-based BRS. Expressing outrage over the demolition of poor people's homes in Hyderabad, KTR said, 'If a poor man builds a small shelter on government land, it's ruthlessly demolished. But the government turns a blind eye to the illegal constructions of the rich.' He accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, his brother, ministers, and Congress leaders of building homes in lakes and tanks without facing any action, while poor people's homes are bulldozed on weekends without even serving them notices. He lamented the suicide of an elderly woman in Kukatpally out of fear that her house would be demolished. KTR highlighted that under the BRS government, Hyderabad was developed into a leading metropolitan city. 'Through GO 58, we gave legal ownership to over 1 lakh poor families and secured their livelihoods. We also implemented welfare schemes like Shaadi Mubarak and Kalyana Lakshmi for girls' marriages,' he said.

Barkha Bist Confirms Joining Smriti Irani's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot
Rumours were rife that Barkha Bist might join Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot. Clearing the air over her casting, Barkha Bist confirmed to Hindustan Times that she is a part of the upcoming show. What's Happening Barkha Bist told Hindustan Times,"Yes, I am joining the show." However, she chose to remain tight-lipped about her character. Reports suggest Barkha would be playing the love interest of Mihir Virani (played by Amar Upadhyay). Reacting to the suggestion, Barkha said, "I can't reveal much about the role right now." Barkha has been part of popular shows like Kasauti Zindagii Kay, Tenali Rama and Shaadi Mubarak, to name a few. About The OG Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Originally aired from July 2000 to November 2008 on Star Plus, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi revolved around the ideal daughter-in-law, Tulsi Virani (played by Smriti Irani), the daughter of a pandit who marries Mihir, the grandson of business tycoon Govardhan Virani. Apart from Smriti and Amar Upadhyay, the show also featured Inder Kumar, Ronit Roy, Mandira Bedi and Achint Kaur. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, Smriti Irani opened up how Ekta Kapoor's reboot version would appeal to the newer generation. She said, "The show spoke about marital rape and euthanasia 25 years ago, and those were not issues that were touched by even mainstream cinema. We did it commercially in a television slot which was meant for family viewing and family drama. You need to understand that 25 years ago, there was no pay parity, where your talent decided and not your gender about how much you will be paid. The fact that Ekta was given a 10:30 slot, which was a dead slot, we created prime time. But that was a female producer, so you had a female producer shunted to a 10:30 slot, they thought maybe you know, let's take a chance." In A Nutshell
