These ‘Delhi' parties ruined Telangana model villages

Hans India26-04-2025
Khammam: Senior Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and Rajya Sabha MP, Vaddiraju Ravichandra, has strongly criticised the Congress government, claiming that their 16-month rule has severely undermined the State's progress, particularly its model villages. Speaking exclusively to The Hans India ahead of the BRS Party's silver jubilee celebrations, which is on Sunday, Ravichandra expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the current administration's handling of rural affairs.
He attacked the Congress government for destroying the 'Gandhian Gram Swaraj' that was established during the ten years of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's reign.
He emphasised that KCR had realised Mahatma Gandhi's idea of local self-governance in addition to the goals of the Telangana movement.
'There is currently a crisis in Telangana's model villages,' he said and claimed that both the Congress in the State and the BJP at the Centre deceived the rural populace. 'People are seeing the disintegration of Telangana's villages, which were once ideal communities. They will give the Delhi parties a good lesson,' he asserted.
As part of the party's silver jubilee festivities, Ravichandra shared that a sizable public gathering will be held at Elkathurthy, close to Warangal, on April 27, the day the party was founded.
According to him, BRS serves as a safeguard for the interests and well-being of the Telangana people.
'The celebration of the BRS silver jubilee is a symbol of Telangana's hard-won progress and former Chief Minister KCR's visionary leadership,' he said, dismissing criticism of the event. According to him, it is a natural evolution that is in line with people's goals. 'Evolution was only natural,' the MP noted, 'because BRS was necessary to serve the country.'
He cautioned the leaders of the Congress not to
make negative statements about KCR.
'The creation of Telangana was not by accident, but rather by the wisdom, bravery, and selflessness of KCR. He led the agitation without using violence and defeated political plots to realise the aspirations of many Telangana residents,' he remarked.
He claimed that after decades of struggle, Telangana had become a model for socioeconomic progress in only ten years, but that Congress administration had caused it to face difficulties once more.
'The BRS was voted out due to the Congress party's fraudulent promises,' he alleged, He accused the
Congress of betraying
women and young people by failing to fulfill pledges
of gold, scooters, financial aid, and jobs.
He asserted that the people have realised their error and are prepared to reinstate the pink party in power in any future elections.
Likening the silver anniversary celebration to a Kumbh Mela of Telangana pride, he urged farmers, women, and youth to participate in big numbers. Farmers who were
denied a respectable living under the Congress dictatorship were asked to attend the large-scale public
gathering. 'We invite all women to join us, especially who feel deceived
by the Congress who promised them gold and didn't deliver,' he said.

BJP accuses Rahul Gandhi of making ‘immature' comments against Armed Forces

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday stated that Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's credibility is at stake, citing the Supreme Court's remarks during the hearing of a criminal defamation case related to his December 2022 comments on Indo-China border tensions. At a press conference, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said: 'Such immature, anti-Army, and demoralising statements made without any evidence or facts, especially when our Army was engaged in the Galwan incident, raise serious questions. Why does Rahul Gandhi make such statements? This is a big question. And it is a question about his credibility.' 'The question arises: Does India deserve a more responsible and better Leader of Opposition? As a Leader of the Opposition, who has taken an oath under the Constitution to safeguard the sovereignty of our country, is he destroying that very sovereignty? ...is he helping the nations which are inimical to our country? Is he demoralising the brave Indian armed forces?' the BJP leader asked. Quoting the Supreme Court's remarks, Mr. Bhatia alleged that this was not the first time Mr. Gandhi had displayed 'such an anti-India' mindset. He referred to another defamation case involving comments by the Congress leader about V.D. Savarkar. 'We all know that the commission-hungry Congress failed to procure Rafale jets for 10 years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made sure that the Air Force received these aircraft. Displaying similar immaturity, Rahul Gandhi used inappropriate language for the Prime Minister. Subsequently, the Supreme Court's decision affirmed that the addition of Rafale jets strengthened the Air Force and was in India's national interest,' Mr. Bhatia added.

Gujarat HC grants relief to news anchor accused in defamation, atrocities case after complaint by senior Congress leader

The Gujarat High Court on Monday granted relief to an Ahmedabad-based news anchor in a case of defamation and atrocity, filed by Congress leader Dr Tushar Chaudhary, based on the assurance of the Additional Public Prosecutor that the journalist will be served a notice of 15 days in case the investigating officer deems it appropriate to arrest her. Justice Nirzar Desai was hearing the petition by Gopi Maniar-Ghanghar, anchor of Ahmedabad-based Nirbhay News Channel, for quashing and setting aside the FIR lodged at Tapi District, based on Chaudhary's complaint under Section 356 (Defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and various sections of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Chaudhary is the newly appointed Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in Gujarat Assembly. The court order stated, 'Public Prosecutor Hardik Dave has made a statement before this Court upon instructions received by the Nikita Shiroya (SC/ST Cell Tapi Vyara) that… the investigation is at very initial stage and therefore, it would serve the end of justice if this Court records the statement of learned Public Prosecutor that in case, during the course of investigation, if the investigating officer deems it appropriate to arrest the present applicant, she will be given a clear notice of fifteen days and upon receipt of the notice…' The court further said, 'The applicant would be at liberty to avail appropriate remedy so as to take remedial measure to seek relief against her proposed arrest. Such a period would start from the date of receipt of the notice by the present applicant.' Chaudhary's complaint is also against Jagdish Mehta, group editor of Rajkot-based Headlines News channel. Chaudhary has alleged that the journalists had defamed him and his deceased father, former Gujarat Chief Minister Amarsinh Chaudhary. In the FIR, the Congress MLA from Khedbrahma has alleged that in a show aired on July 22 on Nirbhay News, Ghanghar made an objectionable statement against him. He said Mehta consented to the statements, which were 'defamatory for him and the entire tribal community'. Ghanghar's advocate Utkarsh Dave said, '…Ghanghar… was the interviewer, who does not have control over what the other person is going to say… We will proceed with legal remedy in case the notice for arrest is issued.'

Congress leaders speak in different voices on Trump's tariff threat

Congress leaders on Monday spoke in different voices on the issue of U.S. President Donald Trump's latest comment on imposing higher tariffs for buying Russian oil. 'So much for Howdy Modi. So much for Namaste Trump. So much for Ab ki Baar Trump Sarkar. So much for BJP MPs hailing Narendra Modi as India's trump card,' party's communications chief Jairam Ramesh posted on X. 'This is what happens when foreign policy becomes about image building, not national interest,' Mr. Ramesh added. His party colleague, Manish Tewari, tagging President Trump on X, asked the American President not to lose his sleep over it. 'We have enough resilience as a nation to withstand your Tariff threat,' he added. Former Union Minister Anand Sharma noted that the U.S. President's comments on 'India and its economy was belittling and unacceptable'. 'As the fourth largest economy, India has resilience & inherent strength to engage with the world on principles of equality & mutual respect,' Mr. Sharma posted on X.
