Telangana Formation Day Celebrated with Patriotic Fervor by NHPS in Gadwal; Chairman Ranjith Kumar Pays Tribute to Martyrs, Criticizes Leadership Failures
Gadwal: The Telangana Formation Day celebrations were held with great fervor at the Nadigadda Rights Struggle Committee (NHPS) District Office on June 2. The event began with the district chairman of NHPS, Gongalla Ranjith Kumar, garlanding the portraits of Professor Jayashankar and Mucherla Satyanarayana — two iconic figures in the Telangana movement — followed by the hoisting of the national flag. Ranjith Kumar extended warm wishes to the people of Telangana and Jogulamba Gadwal district on the occasion of the state's 10th formation anniversary. Tribute to Martyrs of Telangana Movement Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Ranjith Kumar reflected on the long and emotional journey of the Telangana statehood movement. He said that the formation of Telangana on June 2, 2014, was the result of sacrifices made by more than 1,200 martyrs who laid down their lives during various phases of the struggle, starting from as early as 1969. He paid homage to Professor K. Jayashankar, a visionary and ideological pillar of the Telangana movement, and Sangam Reddy Satyanarayana, also known as Mucherla Satyanarayana, a poet-warrior and former minister in undivided Andhra Pradesh, who relentlessly advocated for Telangana's self-respect and statehood. Criticism of Current Political Leadership Ranjith Kumar criticized both the previous and current governments for failing to fulfill the promises made to the people during the statehood agitation. He alleged that the local MLA, who defected to the ruling party in the name of development, has neglected core issues in the constituency. He pointed out the lack of progress in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which continues to create hardships for common people. Ranjith Kumar stated that the local MLA had completely failed to resolve people's problems and deliver the promised welfare schemes. NHPS Vows to Fight for Public Issues He reaffirmed that the Nadigadda Rights Struggle Committee (NHPS) would continue to fight for the rights of the people, particularly in sectors like education, healthcare, and local development. He promised that the committee would raise awareness among villagers in every mandal and hold the authorities accountable for public grievances. Key Participants The event was attended by several notable district and mandal-level NHPS leaders: District Convener: Bucchibabu District Secretary: Lavanna District Leaders: Rangaswamy, Venkatramulu, Jammanna Gadwal Mandal Leaders: Gouni Srinivas Yadav, Karthik Mandal Presidents: Balram Naidu (Gattu, Dharur, Maldakal), Govindu (Nettampadu), Vishnu Mandal Vice Presidents: Prem Raj, Munneppa, Adivi Anjaneyulu Other Mandal Leaders: Meesala Kishtanna, Lakshmanna, Bhoopathi Naidu, Ashanna KT Doddi Mandal Leaders: Subhash, Gajendra, Samiyel, Bheeman Goud, Anji Active Participants: Gopal, Bhangi Ramesh, Nagesh, Uppari Krishna, Anji, K.

It's time to expose Congress: Kavitha
Warangal: Separate Telangana didn't happen just like that, MLC K Kavitha said, detailing the hardships the TRS (now BRS) chief K Chandrasekhar Rao faced. Speaking to media persons in Elkathurthy on Thursday, she said that the Telangana Movement was a tightrope walk for KCR, who sustained the agitation for 14 long years without violence. 'KCR faced numerous problems with the then-ruling party, Congress conspiring to dilute the agitation. Despite that, KCR succeeded in carrying out the agitation until the ultimate goal was achieved,' Kavitha said. The BRS Silver Jubilee celebration is to educate the young about the achievement of separate statehood and the benefits being enjoyed by them, she added. 'Warangal has always remained the epicentre of the Telangana Movement. Several national leaders and prominent personalities graced the public meetings organised by the TRS in the run-up to separate statehood. The Silver Jubilee public meeting at Elkathurthy would also draw the same kind of response from the people,' Kavitha said. Reeling out the welfare schemes introduced by KCR for the poor and farmers, she accused the Congress of failing to fulfill its election promises. And it's time to expose the failures of the ruling party, she added. Referring to the welfare schemes initiated by KCR for women, Kavitha appealed to them to attend the public meeting in large numbers. Separate amenities for the women have been ensured, she added. Former chief whip D Vinay Bhaskar, Gyadari Balamallu, MLCs Pochampally Srinivas Reddy and T Ravinder Rao, R S Praveen Kumar, former MP Maloth Kavitha, former MLAs Nannapuneni Narender, V Sathish Kumar, Banoth Chandravathi and Lalitha Yadav were among others present. Earlier, Kavitha, accompanied by former chief whip D Vinay Bhaskar, offered prayers at the historic Bhadrakali Temple for the massive success of the Silver Jubilee public meeting.
