NDA government using police to target YSRCP: Jagan
GUNTUR: Former Chief Minister and YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday alleged that Andhra Pradesh was under a state of political repression, with the TDP-led NDA government using the police to target opposition leaders, particularly those from a particular community within the YSRCP. He warned that such misuse of power will not go unpunished, and asserted that the YSRCP would return to power and bring justice to the victims.
Jagan was speaking at Rentapalla in Palnadu district after unveiling the statue of Nagamalleswara Rao, upa sarpanch who died by suicide, allegedly due to police harassment. Jagan accused the coalition government of abandoning development, instead focusing on vendetta politics.
'The NDA government is pushing political rivals to the brink using casteism and State machinery. All days won't be the same. When our time comes, we will hold every wrongdoer accountable,' he asserted.

AAP MP Meet Hayer slams Panjab University over bid to curb campus protests
Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party has strongly condemned Panjab University's decision to demand affidavits from students in a bid to curb protests on the university campus. AAP MP Meet Hayer described the decision as highly undemocratic and authoritarian. Meet Hayer stated that India, as the world's largest democracy, cannot tolerate such a dictatorial decision in a public university. He questioned where students could raise their concerns if they encounter issues within the institution. Across universities, student protests against administrative decisions consistently led to improved education and facilities, ultimately benefiting the student community. He highlighted notable achievements brought about by student protests on campus. For instance, the university library, which previously did not remain open overnight, began operating 24×7 following student demonstrations. Similarly, protests successfully reduced increased tuition fees or prevented fee hikes altogether. Such examples make this decision entirely unacceptable, and the Aam Aadmi Party strongly condemns it, he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo Meet Hayer pointed out that the university administration increasingly made authoritarian decisions in recent times, which is deeply regrettable.

Suvendu Adhikari slams Bengal govt for skipping Yoga Day, says
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 21 (ANI): On the occasion of International Yoga Day, West Bengal's Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari criticised the state government for not participating in the nationwide celebration. He alleged that while both NDA and non-NDA ruled states observed the day, West Bengal deliberately skipped it. Speaking to ANI, Adhikari said, 'NDA and non-NDA state governments are celebrating Yoga Day today, except West Bengal, because West Bengal follows Bangladesh. It does not follow Delhi. More than 180 countries are celebrating International Yoga Day today. As Indians, we are proud of this.' The sharp remarks came as International Yoga Day was celebrated across the country, promoting the physical and mental health benefits of yoga. Earlier on Saturday, senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh said, 'Yoga is our country's heritage. We have given yoga to the world. It is a very good medium to keep the body healthy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promoted it globally, and now yoga is being practised in about 200 countries, so the credit for this goes to Narendra Modi, who revived and promoted yoga in the world again.' Meanwhile, on the occasion of International Yoga Day, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose highlighted how the practice of Yoga was earlier 'confined to India,' and the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to spread it internationally has led to people accepting it the world over. As part of the 11th International Yoga Day celebrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading the effort to promote a healthy lifestyle while performing Yoga with others in Vishakapatnam. Meanwhile, multiple other Chief Ministers and Union Ministers are participating in Yoga events in their respective cities. 'Yoga is universal in nature. Yoga connects the mind and the body. This is something which belongs to the entire humanity. It was confined to India, but our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, took it to the whole world. Now it is for the world, and the world is accepting it,' Governor Bose told ANI. (ANI)
