"Will fight for state's welfare under KCR's leadership": BRS leader Madhusudhana Chary on Telangana Statehood Day
He said the BRS, under the leadership of K Chandrasekhar Rao, will continue to fight for the welfare of the people and hold the ruling party accountable for its unfulfilled promises.
Speaking to ANI, Madhusudhana Chary said, 'The TRS, under the leadership of K Chandrasekhar Rao, fought for 14 long years to get Telangana statehood. KCR played a key role in pressuring the Centre and uniting all political parties, which finally led to the formation of Telangana on June 2, 2014. He became the first Chief Minister and made Telangana a model state with top rankings in per capita income, power usage, and development. But after we lost power in December 2023, the Congress government brought the state into a miserable condition. In my 40 years of politics, I have never seen such a bad government. They have failed to deliver even a single promise. We, under KCR's leadership, will fight for the state's welfare and demand that the Congress government fulfil its promises.'
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings for Telangana Statehood Day.
He noted the state's contribution to the nation and wished the people 'success and prosperity'.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, 'Greetings to the wonderful people of Telangana on their Statehood Day. The state is known for making innumerable contributions to national progress.'
The Prime Minister said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the Centre has boosted 'Ease of Living' in the state.
'Over the last decade, the NDA Government has undertaken many measures to boost 'Ease of Living' for the people of the state. May the people of the state be blessed with success and prosperity,' PM Modi posted. (ANI)

CM announces Secretariat revamp, 50,000 flats for poor
The Hindu Bureau New Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said the time had come for the Capital to have a new integrated Secretariat to house all government departments under one roof as she launched a month-long cleanliness campaign. Addressing officials at the Department of Women and Child Development in Kashmere Gate, Ms. Gupta expressed strong displeasure over the dilapidated condition of the building. 'The ceilings are leaking, furniture is broken, cupboards are damaged, and fans are in such poor condition that they could fall at any moment,' she said, questioning how governance could be delivered effectively in such an environment. 'We will take steps in this direction. A suitable location will be identified for the new Delhi Secretariat. Our officials cannot be left to work in such miserable conditions any longer,' Ms. Gupta said. Housing promise The CM's remarks came after launching the 'Dilli Ko Koode Se Azadi' (freedom from garbage for Delhi) campaign, which will run from August 1 to 31. It aims at making the city cleaner, greener, and garbage-free, with coordination among multiple agencies and active citizen participation. Ms. Gupta also announced that around 50,000 flats, built more than a decade ago in the outer areas of the city under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, will be renovated and handed over to slum dwellers. 'The previous governments never bothered to allocate these flats, despite claiming to work for the poor. As a result, the units became uninhabitable over time,' Ms. Gupta said, adding that these flats will now be provided to eligible slum dwellers under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana -Urban. The CM said departments like the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board and the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation had been allocated over ₹700 crore for the project, but the funds went unused and were nearly returned to the Centre. 'The Centre has now approved their use for the renovation of these flats. Our government will ensure rehabilitation of eligible slum dwellers so that they can be participants in Delhi's growth story,' she said.

The conclave, themed 'Constitutional Challenges: Perspectives and Pathways,' is scheduled to begin on Saturday at Vigyan Bhawan. Sources indicated that the chief minister may consult top legal experts at the conclave in connection with the Supreme Court directive, which gave the Telangana assembly speaker three months' time to decide on the disqualification petitions filed against defected BRS MLAs. Revanth is expected to return to Hyderabad by Saturday evening to launch the Telangana sports policy at the first edition of the sports conclave at HICC, Hi-Tec City. He is also scheduled to head back to the national capital on a three-day visit starting Aug 5 to press the Centre to clear the BC reservation bills and to meet with the President of India on the issue.

Addressing the gathering, he acknowledged the significant role of the Left parties in defeating the BRS in the 2023 assembly elections and bringing the Congress to power. "I don't know if the communists can form a govt, but they surely know how to bring one down," Revanth quipped. "No matter how skilled the chef, a curry without salt is tasteless. Similarly, without the Left, public agitations lack force. People trust the communists when they raise their voice against injustices," he said, appealing for their continued support in the Congress govt's journey.
