Rs 200cr sanctioned for construction of Integrated School in Hanamkonda

Hanamkonda: A significant milestone has been reached in the education sector in Warangal West, as the government has issued order (GO) sanctioning Rs 200 crore for the construction of an integrated school, announced MLA Naini Rajender Reddy on Wednesday.
Speaking at a press conference at his camp office, Reddy said the sanction of the school marks a golden chapter in the history of Hanamkonda. He extended special thanks on behalf of the district and constituency people to CM A Revanth Reddy and Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka for immediately issuing the GO.
The MLA stated that setting up an integrated school with all facilities in a city with a strong educational infrastructure will transform Warangal West into an educational hub. He expressed happiness that the government has embarked on establishing 20 new integrated residential schools across the State with rs4,000 crore to provide education to underprivileged and weaker sections. He said many development activities, which were not undertaken in the past, are now taking place under the Congress people's government; the city is developing into a medical hub, educational hub, and spiritual centre. He noted that, for the first time in history, the inner streets of Bhadrakali temple and the lake are being cleaned and renovated. The government has also sanctioned two more key development GOs for the constituency in a single day, which he plans to share with the media soon.
While some people are facing minor inconveniences due to ongoing development works in the city, he assured that appropriate measures will be taken to ensure justice for them. He criticised Opposition leaders, saying they are nitpicking and exaggerating small issues to hinder development.
He questioned whether it isn't true that during the previous government's tenure, shutters were installed on roadsides for petty traders but were handed over to the benamis (proxies) of the former MLA.
He assured the media that those small traders losing out due to road widening will be given opportunities in the veg and non-veg complexes. He took a jab at the BRS leaders, saying even if they do not praise the development being carried out by the Congress, they should at least refrain from unnecessary criticism and condemnation, especially since they did not ensure even basic development during their 10-year rule.
He declared that funds that no other district in the State has received are being brought to Warangal West; he would release a calendar of every developmental activity undertaken in the last 15 months. He challenged the BRS leaders to a public debate if they truly have integrity. Naini demanded that BRS leaders, who used to boast in the past, should now come forward to debate the current development if they have the courage.
Later, along with local leaders, the MLA performed a milk abhishekam to portraits of CM and Deputy CM to express gratitude. PCC member E V Srinivas Rao, district grandhalaya samstha chairman Aziz Khan, municipal floor leader Thota Venkateshwarlu, district women president Banka Sarala Yadav, district SC cell president Ramakrishna, block presidents Laxma Reddy, Sampath Yadav, Ambedkar Raju, corporators, senior leaders were present.

Bhovi community seeks nomination to Legislative Council

Members of the Bhovi community have urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who is also the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief, to nominate a member of their community to the Legislative Council. Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Sunday, former Chairman of the Karnataka Bhovi Development Corporation G.V. Seetharamu said it was only in 1980 when a member of their community was nominated to the Legislative Council by the Congress party. Since the nomination of R. Peeranna, former MLA for H.D. Kote, in 1980 by the then Chief Minister R. Gundu Rao, not a single member of the community has been nominated to the Council, he said. The Bhovi community comes under the Scheduled Caste (SC), and is the third largest in the 1.8 crore SC population in the State, said Mr. Seetharamu, claiming that the Bhovi community's population in Karnataka is estimated to be around 18 lakh. Even though Congress has 33 MLCs in the State Legislative Council that has a total strength of 75 seats, not a single one of them belongs to the Bhovi community, he said. Mr. Seetharamu said that from his travel across the State between the 2013 assembly elections and the 2023 elections, he had seen how the Bhovi community has stood behind the Congress party. He urged Mr. Siddaramaiah and Mr. Shivakumar to recognise the dedication of the Bhovi community to the party and nominate their member to the Council. Out of the 75 members in the Legislative Council, 25 are elected by local bodies and another 25 by the members of the Legislative Assembly. While seven others are elected from graduates' constituencies, another seven are elected from the teachers' constituencies. Another 11 members are nominated by the Governor based on the recommendation of the government.

Netanyahu often gets what he wants despite clashes with US presidents

A little over a month ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to have been shunted to the shadows by U.S. President Donald Trump, who hopscotched the Middle East without visiting Israel, traditionally Washington's closest regional ally. read more Just over a month ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared increasingly sidelined by US President Donald Trump, who toured the West Asia without stopping in Israel, long considered Washington's closest ally in the region. To Netanyahu's dismay, Trump lifted sanctions on neighbouring Syria and expressed interest in reviving nuclear negotiations with Iran, moves the Israeli leader has consistently opposed. But five weeks later, the narrative has flipped: U.S. bombers have struck Iran's nuclear sites—realising a decades-long goal of Netanyahu, who has long urged Washington to take military action against Tehran's atomic programme. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The episode underscores a defining trait of Netanyahu's political career: despite strained ties with successive US presidents, he often prevails in shaping U.S. policy to align with his own objectives. Over more than 30 years, Netanyahu has locked horns with American leaders—publicly challenging, defying, and sometimes even embarrassing them. Yet through both Republican and Democratic administrations, US military and diplomatic support for Israel has remained steadfast. Washington continues to be Israel's primary arms supplier and diplomatic protector. 'He probably has concluded that he always gets away with it,' said a senior UN official in Jerusalem, speaking anonymously. 'It's hard to argue otherwise.' Just weeks ago, opposition leader Yair Lapid accused Netanyahu of wrecking U.S.-Israel relations. Now, the recent strikes represent perhaps the closest military coordination yet between the two countries against a shared adversary. Clashes with US presidents Netanyahu's resistance to U.S. pressure has deep roots. Just a month into his first term in 1996, his blunt manner irked then-President Bill Clinton. 'Who the f— does he think he is? Who's the f—ing superpower here?' Clinton reportedly asked aides after their meeting. Nevertheless, vital U.S. military aid continued to flow. When Netanyahu returned to power in 2009, relations with President Barack Obama turned frosty, particularly over Israeli settlement expansion and the Obama administration's pursuit of a nuclear deal with Iran. In 2015, Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress—without informing the White House—warning that the Iran nuclear accord would pave the way for an atomic bomb. Though Obama was reportedly furious, Washington still finalised the largest-ever U.S. military aid package to Israel the following year: $38 billion over a decade. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Many analysts believe Netanyahu relies on the enduring support of US evangelical Christians and Jewish Americans to ensure continued aid—regardless of political turbulence. Trump, Gaza and Iran When Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel in October 2023, then-President Joe Biden rushed to Israel to express solidarity and authorised large-scale arms transfers. But tensions between Biden and Netanyahu mounted as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsened. Biden eventually paused some weapons shipments and imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violence. Netanyahu welcomed Trump's return to the presidency following last November's election. But Trump, too, initially showed frustration with the prolonged Gaza war and even initiated diplomatic outreach to Iran during a meeting with Netanyahu in early April. Although Trump never publicly endorsed Israel's military strategy, he also didn't oppose it. According to US and Israeli sources, Netanyahu used the window of ambiguity to press ahead. On June 13, Israel launched a major air assault on Iran. Behind the scenes, Israeli officials pushed Trump to join, urging him to 'finish the job.' 'Mr President, Finish the job!' read large billboards across Tel Aviv. On Sunday, when U.S. bombers struck Iran's heavily fortified nuclear facilities, the moment marked a dramatic turn in the conflict—and a personal victory for Netanyahu. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Congratulations, President Trump,' Netanyahu said in a video statement. 'Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history.' 'May God bless our unshakeable alliance, our unbreakable faith,' he concluded. Trump's intervention – despite his past pledges to avoid another 'forever war' – threatens to dramatically widen the conflict, after Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign on Iran last week, with Tehran vowing to retaliate if Washington joined in. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the United States of sabotaging diplomacy after talks with European powers. 'This week, we held talks with the E3/EU when the US decided to blow up that diplomacy,' he wrote on X. Aragchi later told reporters in Istanbul the United States and Israel had 'crossed a very big red line', asserting Iran would continue to defend itself 'by all means necessary'. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the US strikes, saying Trump's decision to 'target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In response to the US attack, Iran's armed forces said they targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion airport, the country's main international gateway near Tel Aviv.

Maoists will not get respite even during monsoon: Home Minister Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday reiterated the government's resolve to eradicate Maoism by March 31 next year and announced that the rebels will not get a breather even during monsoon. Speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony of National Forensic Science University (NFSU) and Central Forensic Science Laboratory's Raipur campus, HM Shah said, 'Unlike pervious years, when the anti-Maoist operations used to get slowed down during monsoon, I want to assure the people that we will not let the rebels sleep even during rains.' The Home Minister also hailed Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and his deputy Vijay Sharma for sharpening the operations against Maoism in the state. 'They have encouraged police forces, and I congratulate the two on behalf of the Central government,' he said. HM Shah also appealed to the Maoists to surrender and join the mainstream by availing the state government's rehabilitation package. 'I assure all those rebels who have surrendered that the Centre and State government will fulfil their commitment to them,' he said. Earlier, he called upon Chhattisgarh youth to become adventurous in setting up enterprises and start-ups for bringing about a new wave of investment in the state. He highlighted the launch of 'Mind-to-Market' i-Hub incubation set-up in the state, claiming that it would hold the hands of startup launchers and nurture youth to become MSME owners. Crediting the creation of Chhattisgarh to former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, HM Shah praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for shaping the modern-day state. Addressing the inauguration event, the Home Minister said that Sunday marked a significant day as three key projects impacting the criminal justice system of the state were being launched. 'The foundation stone of NFSU and CFSL is being laid, along with the launch of the transit campus of the University in which 180 students will start their education in courses like and in cyber and forensic science, among others,' he said. 'I want the youth to trust PM Modi and understand that their degree from NFSU will be a guarantee for their job,' he said. The NFSU campus is proposed to be built at a cost of Rs 145 crore by the Centre, while the CFSL will be built at a cost of Rs 123 crore. HM Shah said PM Modi's vision for Viksit Bharat 2047 cannot be achieved without timely delivery of justice and the three new criminal laws -- Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, effective July 1, 2024 -- are a step in that direction. The setting up of a forensic university and lab is a step in the direction of timely justice and establishing an evidence-based criminal justice system in which verdict is delivered within three years, he said.
