Naidu, brand ambassador for backstabbing politics: Parvathareddy
Nellore: Describing Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu as the brand ambassador for backstabbing politics, YSRCP Nellore city in-charge and MLC Parvathareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy has alleged that Naidu is encouraging backstabbing politics to divert people's attention from his government's failures. Parvathareddy along with Zilla Parishad chairperson Anam Arunamma and MLC Meriga Muralidhar has unveiled a book over the failures of TDP-led coalition government during its one-year rule, titled 'Vennupotu' at party district office here on Sunday. The YSRCP leader sarcastically stated that resorting to backstabbing politics is very common for Chandrababu Naidu, as he illegally grabbed power from his father-in-law and former CM NT Rama Rao. He criticised that the coalition government has completely failed in implementing its 140 promises given to people during 2024 electioneering. He warned that people of the State are closely monitoring the situation and they would teach a befitting lesson to TDP in appropriate time. MLC M Muralidhar has alleged that coalition government is terrorising public with the implementation of its 'Red Book' constitution, making them to be panic and fear as to what will happen in the next minute. He opined that the huge public response to their party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's visits clearly shows that they are regretting their fault in not voting for YSRCP in 2024 elections. 'Good days are ahead for YSRCP since it will surely resume power again,' he stated.

6 unauthorized schools identified in Pimpri-Chinchwad; parents advised against admissions
The education department of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has identified six unauthorised English-medium schools operating within the limits of the twin city, and has issued a strong advisory to parents urging them not to admit their children to these institutions. For the academic year 2025–26, the PCMC conducted a citywide survey to identify schools operating without proper permission. During this exercise, six English-medium schools were found to be functioning without the required official recognition from the authorities. Despite repeated notices and appeals from the education department, these schools had failed to obtain the necessary approvals, resulting in them being classified as 'unauthorised'. Assistant commissioner of the education department, Tanaji Narle, said, 'Parents should not admit their children to these six schools. If they do, they alone will be responsible for any academic losses or inconvenience that may arise. We will be placing public notices outside these schools to alert the public. The list of these unauthorised schools has also been submitted to the Zilla Parishad for further action.' The move aims to safeguard students from enrolling in institutions that do not meet educational standards or legal requirements. The department has reiterated that attending such unauthorised schools may negatively impact students' future prospects, including eligibility for board exams and transfer certificates. This action is part of a broader initiative by the PCMC to regulate the quality and legality of schools operating in the twin city. Authorities are also encouraging parents to verify the recognition status of schools before seeking admissions for their children, to ensure a secure and valid educational journey.
