Alliance regime a bundle of failures, says CPI(M)
CPI(M) leaders called the one year rule of the TDP-led alliance government as a 'bundle of failures' and wanted the regime to learn lessons from its mistakes.
Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) Tirupati district general secretary Kandarapu Murali released a booklet published by the CPI(M) on the one-year-old rule in State on Tuesday, and termed the regime as having failed to fulfil its own promises made ahead of the elections.
'Having formed an alliance with the BJP-led NDA at the Centre, State leaders like N. Chandrababu Naidu and K. Pawan Kalyan were expected to usher in an era of development for the State, however, they sacrificed the State's interests for their own political gains,' he said.
He alleged that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) had been dragged into scores of controversies, hurting the sentiments of the devout Hindus.
'While the minimum wages have not been raised for the last 15 years, the credit for increasing the working hours from 10 to 12 hours goes to Mr. Chandrababu Naidu,' the leaders commented. The speakers accused the alliance regime of treading the same path taken by the YSRCP government in the past.

Modi slams RJD for 'insulting' Ambedkar
Siwan (Bihar): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday slammed the RJD for allegedly insulting Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar and asserted that the people of Bihar would not tolerate any disrespect to the Dalit icon. At a rally in Siwan district, which marked his fifth visit this year to the state and second in less than a month, Modi hailed the "big role" played by Bihar in India's emergence as the "third largest economy" of the world. In a nearly 45-minute-long speech that followed the launch of projects worth more than Rs 5,900 crore and the flagging off of a Vande Bharat train, the Prime Minister cautioned the people against "attempts to recapture economic resources of Bihar" by the RJD-led opposition in the assembly polls due later this year. "Ambedkar was against dynasty rule. But they (RJD and its allies) do not like it. So, they have his portrait placed at their feet. On my way, I saw posters demanding an apology for this insult to Babasaheb," said Modi. "But there has been no apology. This is because they hold Dalits in contempt. In contrast, Modi has Babasaheb in his heart and would like to keep his portrait close to his chest," he added. Modi, who did not mention RJD chief Lalu Prasad by name, referred to the instance of a portrait of Ambedkar being placed close to the feet of the ailing septuagenarian, for which he (Prasad) has been drawing flak from the BJP-led NDA. "The reason is that the RJD-Congress people have little respect for people belonging to the deprived castes, the Dalits, the OBCs and the EBCs. They consider themselves above Babasaheb Ambedkar. But they must remember that the disrespect to Babasaheb Ambedkar will not be forgiven by the people of Bihar," the PM said. Modi also asserted that the world was greatly impressed with India's progress and underscored Bihar's big role in the country's emergence as the world's "third largest economy". "You all know I have returned from abroad only yesterday. During my tour, I met many leaders of the developed world. They all were greatly impressed with the rate of progress in India. They are watching India becoming the third-largest economy in the world.

Mumbai was ‘left to its fate' by Congress-led govt: Shah
MUMBAI: Union home and cooperation minister Amit Shah slammed the opposition for its criticism of the ruling Mahayuti alliance, and asked them what they did during their 'double engine government' in the state and Mumbai, between 2004 and 2014. 'Mumbai was left to its fate,' he declared. Arrah, Bihar, India -May .24, 2024: Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressing a public election rally for Lok Sabha election at Veer Kunwar Singh Stadium, Arrah in Bhojpur district, Bihar, India, Friday,24, 2024. (Photo by Santosh Kumar/ Hindustan Times) Shah attended two functions in Mumbai on Friday. He was chief guest at a national conference to commemorate the International Year of Cooperatives. He then launched the centenary celebration of the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA) at the YB Chavan Centre. While speaking at the MACCIA, Shah said that Mumbai was largely adrift under the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA), from 2004 to 2014. 'I used to fear for the future of Mumbai when I saw the traffic, illegal slums and dilapidated buildings in the city. Since 2014, except for two and half years, Devendra Fadnavis has led the government in the state as CM and deputy CM in the Shinde government, and has brought tremendous development,' he remarked. He added, 'The Narendra Modi government gave ₹ 7 lakh crore for infrastructure development in Mumbai. The metro line, a whopping 337km, is being laid in the city with an investment of ₹ 1.5 lakh crore. We developed the Coastal Road, Atal Setu and have started the Versova-Virar sea link, and Virar-Alibag multi-modal corridor.' Shah said the opposition has criticised the ruling alliance for its slum eradication effort. 'I want to ask them what they did for Mumbai during their ten-year tenure, never mind their contribution to Maharashtra. Mumbai was left to its fate,' he said. Shah said the opposition has criticised the ruling alliance for lower devolution of taxes to Maharashtra, but the data says otherwise. 'During the 11 years of Modi rule, Maharashtra received ₹ 7.42 lakh crore through tax devolution, much higher than the ₹ 1.91 lakh crore given by the Congress-led government during 2004-2014,' he said.
