Maha Congress leader suspended for one day after climbing Speaker's podium
On the second day of the monsoon session, ruckus began after several opposition MLAs raised slogans and demanded an apology from the ruling party on the alleged derogatory remarks made by Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate and BJP MLA Babanrao Lonikar against farmers.
Patole, a former congress state president, joined them and walked up to the Speaker's chair demanding an apology from the ruling dispensation.
Speaker Rahul Narwekar repeatedly warned Patole to maintain decorum, but as he continued to argue near the chair, the Speaker ordered his suspension for the remainder of the day to restore order.
While talking to media , Patole lashed out at both the state and central governments. 'Today is Farmers' Day. The arrogant Modi government and its ministers treat farmers like beggars. Those who speak for farmers are thrown out of the House, while those who insult them are honoured. Farmers are suffering due to unseasonal rains, and the government has done nothing to support them. Even crop insurance has been scrapped,' Patole said.

Cong, BJP allege conspiracy, security lapse
Kochi/Thrissur: Alleging a conspiracy behind the jailbreak of rape-and-murder case convict Govindachamy, opposition leader V D Satheeshan on Friday said the criminal received assistance from inside and outside Kannur Central Prison. Satheeshan said it was unbelievable that a person with one hand could cut through the jail cell window bars, climb out and escape over such a high wall using a cloth. Such an incident hasn't been seen even in Tarzan movies, he said. He said the jailbreak incident was an embarrassment for state govt. "Jail authorities came to know of Govindachamy's escape only at 5am and police were informed by 7am. It was the vigilance of ordinary people that led to the fugitive's capture," he said. "Opposition repeatedly highlighted security lapses in Kannur central jail. Criminals, including those accused in the TP murder case, are being provided with all kinds of assistance by govt and jail authorities there. The accused in TP case are given parole and food of their choice. These prisoners themselves decide the jail menu. Alcohol and drugs are readily available there. Additionally, these inmates run drug trafficking and gang operations from within the jail. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Amazing Hotel Swimming Pools Learn More Undo They use the latest phones. Kannur central jail has become a haven for criminals," he alleged. BJP demands judicial probe Meanwhile, BJP state general secretary M T Ramesh alleged that a powerful mafia, with links to ruling CPM, was controlling the affairs of Kannur central jail and Govindachamy was able to escape from that high-security prison with the mafia's help. He demanded a judicial probe into the operations of mafias in state jails and into the circumstances that led to Govindachamy's jailbreak. "It is clear that Govindachamy received help from within the jail and outside. The incident is a clear manifestation of the failure of jail department controlled by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan," he said.

Telangana led way in caste census, BJP trying to derail BC empowerment: Ponnam Prabhakar
New Delhi/Hyderabad, July 25 (UNI) Telangana Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Friday said the Congress government in Telangana has taken decisive steps to implement a caste census despite not being in power at the Centre, and condemned BJP leaders for attempting to undermine the process. Speaking to the media at Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi after a meeting with AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi, Prabhakar said Rahul Gandhi had emphasised the need for a caste census during the Bharat Jodo Yatra and promised to implement it if voted to power. Telangana, he said, took the lead by initiating the caste census on February 4, 2024. Despite delays due to the Lok Sabha elections, the state government successfully completed the enumeration with 3.5 crore people voluntarily participating. The collected data, comprising over 80 crore documents, was digitised, reviewed by a subcommittee, and approved by the state cabinet. The resulting legislation to implement 42 per cent reservation for BCs in education and local bodies was passed and sent to the Governor, and later to the President for approval on April 30, 2025. Prabhakar slammed Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and BJP leaders for opposing the bill and accused them of betraying the Backward Classes. 'What has BJP done more than us for BCs? Instead of supporting this historic move, they are trying to spread misinformation and dilute our efforts,' he said, citing BJP's past opposition to the Mandal Commission and social justice policies. He also questioned why BJP, while claiming to support BCs, failed to appoint a BC as the Leader of the Opposition in Telangana or maintain BC leadership in their own party. 'Our Congress party stands as the brand ambassador of social justice. We are not blaming any party, but facts must be examined,' he said. He urged BJP leaders to stop creating divisions and instead support the caste census and reservations for BCs. 'This is not just about Telangana, but a nationwide movement to ensure social justice,' he said, reiterating the Congress' commitment to fight for the rights of weaker sections. Ministers Konda Surekha and Vakiti Srihari were also present during the interaction. UNI VV ARN
