"congress-government"

Students from Sree Nidhi Institute of Science and Technology (SNIST), Ghatkesar on Wednesday protested against the management for withholding hall tickets of its BTech final year students due to Congress government's delay in releasing arrears related to fee reimbursement.

Charging the Congress government with spreading baseless propaganda, he said a detailed discussion in the legislature would reveal the facts to the public.

Slamming the Congress government for hypocrisy, he challenged Revanth Reddy to cancel the State government's agreements worth Rs 12,400 crore signed with Adani if his stand against corruption was genuine

The confrontation began during Question Hour when Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy blamed the previous BRS regime for delays in key highway projects, including the Hyderabad-Karimnagar and Hyderabad-Bijapur roads

She said the State government, in contrast to its earlier statements, had approached the World Bank for a loan. She questioned the government's plans to displace thousands of families and mortgage the State to execute the Chief Minister's dream real estate project

In this backdrop the government is trying to address factors that added to the disillusionment among the farming community, as part of which it planning to shelve the modifications mooted for extending the enhanced assistance under the Rythu Bharosa scheme. Initially, the scheme was proposed to be restricted to small and marginal farmers with land holdings of up to 5 acres. However, this restriction is now being reconsidered.

"If Revanth Reddy has the courage, let us start with issues of farmers, weavers, auto drivers, and students of Gurukul schools. After debating the people's issues, we can also discuss about allegations against the BRS including the Formula E controversy," he asserted.

Kavitha said the government should first take up cleaning of the Musi river and then work on rehabilitation of the affected people and after completing all the necessary works, take up the project. Without doing all these, the government was going ahead with the Musi rejuvenation project and creating problems for thousands of people, she said.

Sabitha Indra Reddy stated that the BRS legislators who raised the question in the Assembly, were deprived the opportunity to seek clarity from the State government, after the session was adjourned. "The Ministers feared to face us in the Assembly on the issues plaguing education sector and hence, the answers were provided only in writing without giving scope for discussion in the House," she added.

The protest is in the wake of Adani's indictment in a multi-billion dollar bribery and fraud case by the United States Department of Justice. This apart, the Congress is also protesting alleging negligence by Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards North Eastern States, especially Manipur

Speaking to the media at the Assembly media point on Monday, the BRS working president said farmers in Chief Minister's Kodangal constituency were being assaulted and threatened

The Congress government does not hold any grudge against Allu Arjun. A case was filed against the actor in connection with the death of a woman in a stampede at a theatre and the police had initiated action accordingly, said TPCC president

TMS president Mushtaq Malik said the State government failed to protect the mosques, shrines and Wakf board properties and alleged appropriate action was not taken against persons responsible for it

In a tweet aimed at the Congress leadership, he questioned, "If this were to happen to your own family, would you accept it, @RahulGandhi Ji? Only the most insensitive and inhuman government could do this! Who will take responsibility for their safety?" He also added, "Ek Aur Nazara Mohabbat Ki Dukaan."

Harish Rao emphasized the grim situation, noting that rents for Anganwadi centers have remained unpaid for the past 10 months. He criticized this as a glaring failure of one year under Congress rule. Addressing Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, he highlighted that 39,568 Anganwadi teachers and helpers are still awaiting their salaries.

Speaking to the media at her residence on Friday, Kavitha strongly criticized the gazette notification enforcing the revised design. The directive mandates the installation of statues with the altered design statewide and threatens criminal penalties for non-compliance. “Even the British never imposed such restrictions on Bharat Mata statues during the Indian independence movement. This decision is undemocratic and disrespectful,” she remarked.

"The Bayyaram Steel Plant is not just a promise; it is a constitutional commitment made during the formation of Telangana. The BJP's outright refusal to fulfill this commitment highlights their disregard for the backward and tribal communities in Khammam," she stated. On Wednesday, the Centre declared in Parliament that setting up the steel plant at Bayyaram was not feasible and that there were no plans for it.

During elections, the Congress promised Rs 15,000 per acre per year to farmers, but for the past one year, they have done nothing but hold meetings and form committees, says BRS working president
