TRLD to hold dharna on June 23

Telangana Rashtriya Lok Dal (TRLD) has strongly condemned the government's negligence in the fields of education, employment, and agriculture. The party has demanded strict implementation of 25 per cent free seats in private schools, speedy execution of the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme, and stringent action against spurious seed sellers. Expressing deep concern, TRLD State President Kapilavai Dileep Kumar said, 'The much-anticipated Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme, which was formally launched by CM Revanth Reddy on March 17, brought hope to unemployed youth. With the promise of up to Rs 3 lakh financial support and subsidies, over 16 lakh applications were submitted. However, during the scrutiny process from April 6 to May 31, approximately 6.6 lakh applications were rejected for various reasons. There are serious doubts about the transparency of these rejections.' To expose government negligence, TRLD has announced a massive dharna at Indira Park on June 23 at 10 AM.

Telangana Minister Vivek Venkataswamy highlights welfare initiatives by govt for the Poor

Minister Vivek Venkataswamy has reiterated the Congress government's commitment to the welfare of the underprivileged during a recent event in Siddipet. Speaking at Konda Bhudevi Garden, he announced the provision of Rs. 5 lakhs for every Indiramma house, with 12,000 houses sanctioned for Siddipet district alone. He emphasised the aim to ensure that every village benefits from the Indiramma housing scheme, initially launched by Indira Gandhi to combat poverty. The Minister noted that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Rahul Gandhi have enacted policies to provide 200 units of free electricity, further aiding the lower-income population. In a drive to uplift the poor, Minister Venkataswamy distributed sanction documents for Indiramma houses and confirmed plans for skill development programmes employing advanced technology in Siddipet. He acknowledged public scepticism regarding the Congress government's ability to fulfil its promises but pledged that the government would uphold its commitments. Highlighting other welfare initiatives, he detailed the assistance for women, including gas cylinders for Rs. 500 and free bus services. He mentioned the comprehensive loan waiver of Rs. 23,000 crores for farmers, a record in India, as well as the release of Rs. 10,000 crores for farmer insurance by CM Revanth Reddy. Furthermore, the Rajiv Arogya Sri scheme now offers up to Rs. 10 lakhs in health coverage, and farmers growing sorghum are receiving a bonus of Rs. 500. Additionally, Venkataswamy revealed that sorghum is being distributed to the needy through ration cards. The government is dedicated to constructing homes for every poor individual on plots of 600 yards. He stressed the importance of beneficiary participation in ensuring adequate construction of the houses, reiterating the strict implementation of the Indiramma scheme. Earlier, he had also distributed sanction documents to beneficiaries of Indiramma Indla in Gajwel, where a budget has been allocated for 3,000 double-bedroom houses. In his address, he reiterated the government's commitment to education, healthcare, housing, and farmer welfare.

Telangana local body elections: Grassroots mobilisation a concern for BJP

HYDERABAD: As Telangana gears up for local body elections, the BJP is bracing for a litmus test, with its performance likely to set the tone for the next Assembly polls. While the party aims to consolidate its position in the state, insiders reveal significant challenges in converting its recent electoral gains into a traditional vote bank. The ruling Congress is leaving no stone unturned to secure maximum seats in the local body polls, leveraging its welfare schemes such as Indiramma houses, quality PDS rice, Rajiv Yuva Vikas loans and unrestricted Rythu Bharosa payments. Meanwhile, the BRS, which has a strong rural base and won 38 Assembly seats in the last elections, remains a formidable opponent. Despite the hurdles, BJP leaders point to their recent successes — winning eight Assembly and eight Lok Sabha seats, mostly from rural segments — as a sign of growing influence. This apart, its victory in two MLC seats — graduates and teachers segments — has bolstered confidence that educated voters and younger generations are leaning towards the saffron party.
