chief
Pawan Kalyan
urged people to celebrate the day like Sankranti and Diwali, as it was on this day that people of Andhra Pradesh saw fresh rays of light and hope after five years of "political darkness" and were liberated from YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's "oppressive rule".
He urged party activists and citizens to decorate their homes, organise community competitions for women, and light lamps and burst crackers on Wednesday evening. "Let us mark the end of tyranny and the beginning of good governance by celebrating June 4 in a grand manner," he said. Jana Sena also plans a digital campaign encouraging supporters to post visuals of the celebrations on social media.
Earlier, terming June 4 as 'Vennu Potu Dinam' (Backstabbing Day) and a day of political treachery, Jagan accused chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu of deceiving people with false promises and urged party workers to take the alleged failures of NDA govt to the people. TDP MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy said Jagan hasn't changed his attitude despite rejection from the people in the 2024 elections.

'You're union minister': Why fight Bihar polls, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar 'asked' Chirag Paswan

PATNA: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar can't see why Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief and NDA ally Chirag Paswan should aspire to contest assembly elections after being rewarded with a berth in the Union cabinet, the latter's brother-in-law and Jamui MP Arun Bharti said on Sunday. "You are a union minister, a young politician with a bright and long political career ahead. So, why contest assembly elections now?" Bharti quoted the CM as saying during a meeting with Chirag in Siwan ahead of PM Narendra Modi's June 20 rally there. Nitish, whose JDU could be wary of Chirag's party complicating NDA's seat-sharing arrangement for elections to the 243-strong assembly, also enquired about the constituency Chirag was interested in, Bharti said. The Union minister for food processing industries has announced his party is preparing to contest all seats in Bihar, fuelling speculation about his chief ministerial ambitions. Bharti said Chirag told CM Nitish that he would "go by my party's decision in this regard and come to seek your blessings before contesting the polls". The MP said Chirag iterated his oft-quoted phrase, "Bihar is calling", while explaining his vision for the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Banilad: Scholarships You Can Apply For (Start Now) College Scholarship | Google Search Search Now Undo "He told the CM that like him, he too wants to be directly involved in state politics to take Bihar out of the RJD's 'jungle raj'." RJD's Tejashwi Prasad Yadav said Chirag "should speak openly that he wants to become CM instead of doing the 'Bihar is calling' drama". Bharti accused RJD of attempting to spread rumours of a rift in NDA as it fears the governing alliance could reduce the opposition to fewer seats than it got in the 2020 assembly polls. "LJP (RV) is set to host around two lakh people at Rajgir in CM Nitish's home district of Nalanda, with his blessings, at the 'Bahujan Bhim Sankalp Samagam' on June 29," he said.

YSRCP launches ‘yuvatha poru'

Visakhapatnam: Flagging failures of the coalition government, YSRCP launches 'yuvatha poru' protests and submits representations at all Collectorates on June 23, informed former IT Minister Gudivada Amarnath. Speaking to the media here on Sunday, Gudivada Amarnath said the coalition government is resorting to diversion politics as it failed to implement poll promises, especially creation of jobs and provision of Rs 3,000 allowance to the unemployed youth after it came to power. The youth wing of the party will hold protests at all District Collector offices, Amarnath mentioned. 'People are not prepared to trust Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu as he is resorting to diversion politics to avoid fulfilling promises made like his earlier tenures,' Amarnath criticised, adding the Thalliki Vandanam scheme has been diluted. Talking about International Yoga Day celebrations, Amarnath pointed out that the government spent Rs.300 crore on IYD for publicity, causing great inconvenience to students, women and public. 'Tribal students were mobilised to the venue the previous day without proper care and they faced serious hardship,' Amarnath lamented. The event was conducted with an aim of entering the Guinness Book of Records, while Naidu already holds a record for cheating people across four terms as Chief Minister, Amarnath alleged. While Naidu mobilises funds for Amaravati, Amarnath said, North Andhra remains completely neglected but used for the CM's publicity stunts. 'It was only during YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's tenure North Andhra witnessed real development,' he reiterated, appealing to people to make the 'yuvatha poru' a success.

New committee formed to review functioning of Sainik Schools

Barely eight months after major reforms were introduced in October 2024, the Maharashtra school education department has set up a new, seven-member committee to review the functioning of the state's Sainik Schools and revisit the revised policy. Last month, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had directed the formation of a state-level committee to initiate further educational reforms in military schools. (REPRESENTATIVE PIC) A government notification in this regard was issued on June 20, 2025 by the school education and sports department. The move follows rising concerns over the low percentage of students from the state's 38 Sainik Schools qualifying for the National Defence Academy (NDA), the prestigious defence training institute located in Khadakwasla near Pune. Deputy secretary of the school education and sports department of Maharashtra, Sameer Sawant, said that a decision to allow one Sainik School providing military education in each district had been taken through a government resolution (GR) on September 26, 1995. Under this policy, 38 such schools are currently operating in the state. However, these schools have not been able to maintain required standards. Sawant said, 'The new committee's scope of work has been defined as visiting the Sainik Schools, understanding the current situation, suggesting necessary amendments to the revised policy, and recommending measures to increase representation from the state's Sainik Schools.' Last month, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had directed the formation of a state-level committee to initiate further educational reforms in military schools. 'The Sainik School policy was launched to ensure that more students from Maharashtra participate in the NDA selection process, and to instil discipline, confidence, teamwork, and leadership among them. However, there have been persistent demands for the schools to improve,' Fadnavis had said while chairing a meeting on reforms in military schools. School education minister Dadaji Bhuse, too, assured that the government is committed to providing quality education in these institutions (Sainik Schools). 'The committee must physically inspect the schools, examine the challenges they face, and their demands in detail, and submit a comprehensive report within the stipulated timeframe,' Bhuse said. Inspections conducted after a policy revision on October 9, 2024 found that several Sainik Schools are failing to meet essential standards. Many students are not receiving adequate military training and guidance—factors critical for NDA preparation.
