Revanth is a country chicken… KTR is a broiler chicken, says Jagga Reddy
Reddy advised KTR: 'Don't provoke Revanth unnecessarily. If you throw away security and challenge him with 'Ra Ra Sale' (come fight me), can you actually handle it? You don't have the guts. If Revanth suddenly shows up, you might get a heart attack, be careful. You once sent police into Revanth's bedroom, but now, Revanth isn't sending police into your house. That's the difference between us and you.'
He further said: 'Under Rahul Gandhi's leadership, Revanth as CM and his ministers are implementing public welfare schemes magnificently. Schemes that you didn't implement in ten years—we are implementing in just 18 months. Ready for a debate?'.
Reddy listed the schemes under CM- free bus travel for women; ration cards, fine rice, and bonuses for fine grain; Indiramma houses; 200 units of free electricity.
Reddy challenged KTR : 'Let's debate in Siddipet, Sircilla and Gajwel. Are you ready?', while observing: 'no matter how many insults we hurl at your 10-year rule, it's not wrong. For the atrocities committed by KCR's family on Mallannasagar farmers, mere abuses aren't enough. Their bodies should be buried in the ground, heads above, and snakes released on them, only then they'll feel the hell they created.'
He further said: 'KTR, you can't fight with police when you're in Opposition. You only use the police when you're in power. We stood against the police even when we were in Opposition. That's our manliness. Compared to our manliness, what is yours? don't provoke Revanth unnecessarily. It has been 18 months since Revanth Reddy became CM. We have many reasons to criticise KCR's family.
They didn't fulfill the promises made in 10 years, hence the criticism. They promised Rs 1 lakh loan waivers, but only paid 4 instalments; interest has piled up; they didn't give reservations to minorities – that's why they're criticised; promised jobs for every household, but failed to deliver; promised double-bedroom homes never delivered'.
According to Reddy, KTR is burning with jealousy.
'Let's hold a discussion with women in Sircilla; why this barrage of insults, KTR? what mistake did Revanth Reddy make to deserve your curses? He asked 'Ready to debate about free bus rides? CM and minister Ponnam will convince you; are we not giving cooking gas at Rs 500?; are we not giving 200 units of free electricity? we started Indiramma housing; ministers will come let's discuss'.
The senior Congress leaders quipped: 'KCR's rule was like a bad movie – 'Aha Naa Pellanta' style. We increased Aarogyasri coverage to Rs 10 lakh. Come, let's talk; what happened to women's groups over the past 10 years? Seethakka will come to discuss.
Come; fine rice is reaching every village – Uttam Kumar Reddy will come to debate. You come too; we are building integrated schools with Rs 200 crore; did KCR ever even think of such things?'
He remarked: 'While CM Revanth is doing so many good things, KTR is abusing him and the ministers? If we start insulting, it won't help anyone. Whoever is writing KTR's scripts is doing a poor job; looking at KTR evokes pity'.

In the US, a court hearing in the dispute between Harvard University and the administration of President Donald Trump will take place in the Massachusetts district court. read more The Monsoon Session of the parliament is set to begin. File image/PTI It is set to be a busy Monday with several events lined up for the day. Firstly, the monsoon session of the Parliament is set to begin from today. Meanwhile, a hearing in the ongoing legal dispute between Harvard University and the administration of President Donald Trump will take place today. The Canadian government is likely to 'adjust' counter tariffs on US steel and aluminium. India will receive its first consignment of Apache attack helicopters. TMC will hold its annual Martyrs' Day rally today in Kolkata. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Here is all that is set to take place throughout the day. Monsoon session of Parliament to commence The monsoon session of the Parliament is set to commence today and run until August 12. This will be the first full session after recent significant events, including a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam and 'Operation Sindoor,' a retaliatory military operation. According to NDTV, eight new bills are on the agenda, some of which include amendments to Goods and Services Tax (GST) laws, new taxation laws, and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill aimed at enhancing the ease of doing business. There will be a total of 21 sittings. Ahead of the session, Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju will hold an all-party meeting on July 20 to discuss the upcoming legislative agenda and foster constructive discussions. Trump and Harvard University dispute hearing A hearing is scheduled to take place between Harvard University and the administration of President Donald Trump in a federal court. The dispute is concerning the freeze of federal grants to the prestigious institution. Harvard reportedly refused to comply with the White House's demands for sweeping changes to its governance and admissions policies among other things. Representational image/AP The dispute stems from the administration's decision in April this year to freeze over $2.2 billion (Rs 18,370 crore) in federal grants and $60 million (Rs 499 crore) in contracts to Harvard. This move came after Harvard reportedly refused to comply with the White House's demands for sweeping changes to its governance, admissions policies, and its approach to issues such as antisemitism on campus and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The administration has also linked its actions to concerns about Harvard's handling of student protests. Harvard University swiftly responded by filing a lawsuit against the administration, arguing that the funding freeze is unlawful, unconstitutional, and constitutes government overreach into academic independence. Canadian govt to 'adjust' counter tariffs on US steel and aluminium Today marks the last day of the Canadian government's 30 days to reach a deal on US tariff levies. It will likely adjust its 25 per cent counter tariffs on US steel and aluminium in response to a doubling of US levies. This move is part of an ongoing strategy to protect Canada's domestic industry while navigating a complex trade dispute with the United States. The Canadian Ministry of Finance stated that the adjustments are designed to align with progress made in these broader trade discussions. This approach allows Canada to maintain pressure on the US while also signalling a willingness to find a negotiated solution. The trade conflict began earlier this year when US President Donald Trump imposed steep tariffs on a wide range of goods, including a 50 per cent duty on steel and aluminium from Canada. In response, Canada implemented its own retaliatory tariffs on roughly $30 billion worth of American goods. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India to receive Apache helicopters India is set to receive the first consignment of three Apache attack helicopters from the United States today. These highly anticipated 'tanks in the air,' will significantly enhance the combat strength of the Indian land forces. The first batch of the much awaited Apache helicopters will take arrive on July 21. File image/AP The helicopters are scheduled to arrive at the Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad. Their deployment is specifically planned for areas near the Pakistan border, particularly in the desert sector near Jodhpur, where the Army had established its first Apache squadron in March 2024. TMC to hold its annual Martyrs' Day rally Trinamool Congress (TMC) is set to hold its annual Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata today. The Martyr's Day commemorates the killing of 13 Youth Congress workers in police firing during a protest on July 21, 1993. The incident is considered a pivotal moment in Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's political career and the formation of the TMC itself. The rally is traditionally held in front of Victoria House in Esplanade, central Kolkata, and draws hundreds of thousands of party workers and supporters from across West Bengal. This year, the event holds particular significance as it will be the last Martyrs' Day rally before the 2026 state Assembly elections. Earlier, the Calcutta High Court imposed restrictions on the timings of processions to minimise traffic congestion for office-goers. The court also suggested that the TMC consider shifting the venue to a larger ground like Brigade Parade Ground or Salt Lake Stadium from next year, citing public inconvenience.

After delay, Siddaramaiah & Shivakumar offer bagina at Kabini
Mysuru: A day after chief minister Siddaramaiah apparently snubbed his deputy DK Shivakumar for leaving a rally in Mysuru early, the duo jointly offered bagina to Kapila river at Kabini dam in HD Kote taluk Sunday. Though the storage in the dam reached its full capacity last month, the ritual was delayed, drawing criticism. Following reports of tensions between the duo — after Shivakumar hurriedly left Saturday's Sadhana Samavesha and the CM avoided mentioning his name during his speech — their joint appearance was seen as a show of solidarity. Both leaders arrived together from Mysuru airport, walked side-by-side for nearly 100 metres along the dam's embankment, performed the rituals, and departed together in a KSRTC bus along with other ministers.

"I had a pre-scheduled meeting with lawyers in Delhi to discuss my personal matters, which I had informed the CM in advance. After completing the meeting in Delhi, I returned around midnight. There's no politics here," he told reporters. Responding to BJP's claims that he was insulted, Shivakumar said the opposition party "seems to have special affection for me." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy the Dip: Top 5 Dividend Stocks with Growth Potential Seeking Alpha Read More Undo "Maybe they love me more because I'm stronger." Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah also dismissed BJP's allegation that Shivakumar was insulted at the event. "It is customary to acknowledge leaders present on the stage. Since the DCM was absent at that time, his name was not mentioned. There's no question of disrespect," he told reporters. Siddaramaiah accused the saffron party of trying to create controversies for political gain. "They're under the illusion that such tactics will help them. But they won't," he said. On the Sadhana Samavesha, which witnessed a huge turnout, Siddaramaiah said the event was not aimed at countering BJP. "It was to showcase public support for our govt's work. BJP, which spreads lies, is now trying to imitate our guarantee schemes. But we have already spent Rs 52,000 crore on these guarantees, while they are just making claims," he said. Responding to concerns over small traders receiving tax notices due to digital payments, Siddaramaiah clarified that GST falls under the jurisdiction of the central govt. "The state govt isn't responsible. Still, we will discuss the matter with the commercial tax department and the Union govt before taking any action," he added. On the accident involving his convoy near Mandya, Shivakumar said, "While returning to Bengaluru from the Mysuru convention, my pilot vehicle met with a serious accident. By the grace of Goddess Chamundeshwari, there were no major injuries. After arranging medical treatment for the injured staff, I resumed my journey," he stated. — Box 1: Investors not moving out: CM Siddaramaiah Sunday said the state govt is making an all out effort to retain all industries and projects in Karnataka. Responding to reports of industries shifting to Andhra Pradesh, he said the investors committed to Karnataka will not move elsewhere. "We are addressing their concerns and ensuring their projects remain in the state."
