Derive benefit from MNREGS, farm labour told
The Collector has inspected the ongoing Canal Silt Removal Works (CSRW) being conducted under MNREGS at Nagula Devi Gunta village of Alluru mandal on Tuesday.
On this occasion, the Collector interacted with the farm labour over the problems like delay in payment of wages, facing discrimination related to allocation of works and any other issues.
While describing MNREGS as a boon for poor in the villages, the Collector said that farm labour need not worry over daily breadwinning as they would have handful work if they use this scheme in a proper manner.
The Collector suggested to the labour who were supposed to attend MNREGS works, to secure Aadhaar Card as it will be mandatory as per the guidelines.
Later, the Collector inspected the Divakar Reddy Housing Layout being established in 12 acres of land in the village and enquired about the infrastructure facilities.
On the occasion, beneficiaries told the Collector that due to lack of drinking water facility, they did not enter the houses despite the structures completed long ago.
Responding to their plea, the Collector ordered the officials to take steps for providing drinking water at once.
Subsequently, the Collector made a surprise visit at the BC Welfare hostel in Allur mandal and enquired with the students over the facilities being provided to them and had lunch along with inmates.
Kavali RDO Vamsi Krishna, Alluru MRO Lakshmi Narayana, MDO Rajinikanth and others were present.

BJP using Muslim quota to scuttle BC reservations: CM
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday accused the BJP of not being in favour of enhancing BC reservations. He claimed that BJP MPs from Telangana were trying to scuttle the 42% quota for the community by demanding removal of Muslim reservation in the state. The truth, he argued, was that economically backward Muslims had been given reservation for a long time in BJP-ruled states like Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. "There is no Muslim reservation at all," Revanth said while talking to reporters in New Delhi. "Reservations are based on socio-economic backwardness. Be it Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, or Buddhists, they follow their religion, and it has nothing to do with reservation."

"The BJP is only trying to stop the 42% quota bills sent by the Telangana govt using the pretext of religious-based Muslim reservation," the chief minister alleged. Revanth is in New Delhi to seek the support of all the opposition parties to exert pressure on the Centre to approve its BC reservation bill in the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo The state govt is keen on 42% BC reservation in local bodies, and education and employment. The chief minister, along with the deputy chief minister, Congress MPs from Telangana, and important leaders, will meet opposition leaders in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha apart from Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi on Thursday morning. In the evening, they will give a presentation to AICC members from various states on the caste survey and the need to exert pressure on the Centre to approve the two BC Bills. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birth state is Gujarat, PM Modi's representing Lok Sabha seat is in Uttar Pradesh, and the RSS national headquarters state is Maharashtra—in all three states, the BJP govt is providing reservations to economically backward Muslims. In an interview, Union home minister Amit Shah said they sere extending Muslim reservations in Gujarat and that they would continue it. Will they suspend Amit Shah from the BJP?" he asked. "The Centre is delaying approval of the two bills sent to it through the governor by the Telangana govt," he added. "The Telangana High Court directed the state govt to complete fixing of reservations in 30 days and the entire panchayat election process in 90 days, before September 30. The ordinance sent to the Telangana governor is aimed at removing the 50% cap on overall reservations fixed by the previous BRS govt in the Panchayat Raj Act of 2018, after which a blanket 42% BC quota can be given. " H e added that the 2029 elections will be a litmus test for all the parties in terms of BC reservations. "The credit should go to Rahul Gandhi, who raised the slogan of a caste census during his Bharat Jodo Yatra and promised the people of Telangana to do it if the Congress is voted to power," he added. "We conducted a scientific and authentic survey. We have our own strategy of making the Modi govt approve the two BC bills." Box: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said on Wednesday his govt made public the caste survey findings on the population of SCs, STs, BCs, Muslims, and others. "However, we cannot make public the personal information and data of the individuals as per the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. But the report submitted by the Justice Sudarshan Reddy-led independent group of experts, which analysed the caste survey data, would be discussed in the cabinet and the assembly, and then we will give access to it to the political parties.

Correct injustice done to Telugu netas, make Dattatreya VP: Revanth
1 2 Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday said the BJP-led NDA govt can "correct the grave injustice done to the Telugu leaders at the national level" by nominating BC leader from Telangana , Bandaru Dattatreya , for the vice-president's post. He, however, hastened to add that this was the demand from the people of Telangana and that the INDIA bloc's consensus candidate would be decided by the AICC leadership and other members. On my behalf, I will personally request the AICC to name Dattatreya. Modi should protect the self-respect of the Telugu people and appoint Dattatreya as the vice-president," Revanth claimed. "Telugu is the most spoken language in the country after Hindi, and the most spoken language in south India," he told reporters in New Delhi. "All these years, the BJP has conspired against the Telugu people and not allowed Telugu leadership to rise to key national positions. There was a discussion on making Venkaiah Naidu the President, but he was asked to vacate his official residence and sent back home. Unki ghar wapsi kar dee."

Cong taunts BJP's BC leaders over ‘Upper Caste' state chief
Hyderabad: The Congress party on Tuesday challenged Backward Classes (BC) leaders within the BJP to respond to comments made by their newly appointed state president, N Ramchander Rao. Rao had reportedly questioned the Telangana state government's sincerity regarding a proposed 42 per cent reservation for BCs, citing an 'unscientific approach.' Speaking to media at Gandhi Bhavan, Congress official spokesperson B Lingam Yadav asserted that if BJP MPs Bandi Sanjay Kumar, D Aravind, and Eatala Rajender failed to counter the remarks from their new state president, it would convey a misleading message that the BJP is a party opposed to Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and BCs. The Congress leader affirmed that the Revanth government's objective is to implement reservations mirroring the model in Tamil Nadu, which has successfully navigated the constraints of reservation caps. 'The BC leaders in BJP should respond,' Yadav pressed. 'Bandi Sanjay, Aravind, Etela Rajender should respond to Ramchandra's comments on BC reservations. If 42 per cent reservation is not given to BCs, BCs would be further marginalised.' He vowed, 'We will achieve 42 per cent reservation by building pressure on Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.' Yadav further contended that those opposing the reservation now are the same leaders who championed 'Kamandal politics' as a counter to the 'Mandal Commission' recommendations in the past.
