Revanth calls for revival of ideology-driven politics, recalls Jaipal Reddy's contribution to politics
Emphasising the need to revive ideology-driven politics over the prevailing 'politics of management,' Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy called for the promotion of diverse political thought among students in universities. He urged the aspiring politicians to emulate former minister S Jaipal Reddy, who always stood by his principles. Speaking at the ICFAI & Capital Foundation Society's S. Jaipal Reddy Memorial Award function held here on Saturday, Mr. Reddy highlighted the latter's contributions to both State and national politic,s besides his decisive role in the creation of Telangana State. 'Jaipal Reddy, a towering personality, is the pride of Telangana, next only to former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao in many aspects,' he said, congratulating the award recipient, Mohan Guruswamy, an economist and policy analyst from Hyderabad. Later, he conferred the award on Mr. Guruswamy. Recalling the key role played by the former Union Minister in the creation of Telangana State, Mr. Reddy noted, 'During his student days, Jaipal Reddy opposed the formation of Telangana. But later, he worked tirelessly for the State's creation. The dream of Telangana would not have been realised without his support and his efforts to convince Sonia Gandhi as well as the Opposition leaders.' The Chief Minister also recalled the political and administrative reforms initiated by Jaipal Reddy during his tenure as Union Minister. Expressing concern over the ever-increasing role of money in elections, Mr. Reddy called for stringent measures to curb its influence and safeguard democratic values in the country. He lamented that activists have disappeared from politics while volunteers have increased, and urged that the legacy of leaders like P.V. Narasimha Rao and Jaipal Reddy must continue to inspire public life. Referring to Jaipal Reddy's administrative acumen, he praised the decisions taken by him as Union Petroleum Minister as 'impeccable' and commended his role as Information and Broadcasting Minister, stating that his initiatives benefited even Opposition parties. Mr. Reddy noted that Jaipal Reddy served the people for five decades—from 1969 to 2019—and recalled his efforts to bring electricity to Kalwakurthy when he was its MLA. He also referred to Reddy's oratory skills, which earned him the Best Parliamentarian Award. On democratic rights, the Chief Minister said that no MLA had been suspended from the Assembly since he assumed office, and that Dharna Chowk was reinstated immediately after he became Chief Minister. K Purishotham Reddy, executive president of Capital Foundation, and LS Ganesh, Vice-Chancellor of ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education, were among present.

Sniffer dogs, patrol squads mobilised in pre-emptive op ahead of I-Day
1 2 Dibrugarh: In a high-security operation ahead of Independence Day and Ulfa (Independent)'s Martyrs' Day, Dibrugarh Police on Saturday conducted extensive anti-sabotage checks across critical installations and public spaces in the city. While the nation will celebrate its 79th Independence Day on Aug 15, the banned militant outfit has been observing July 27 as Swahid Diwas (Martyrs' Day) to honour its cadres who died fighting for a 'sovereign Assam." Led by Dibrugarh senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rakesh Reddy, the day-long operation involved sniffer dogs, explosive detectors and multiple police teams sweeping through busy marketplaces, roads, bridges and critical infrastructure, with officials describing the exercise as a 'preemptive security measure.' "We are conducting extensive anti-sabotage checks in light of the upcoming Independence Day and Ulfa-I's Martyrs' Day. This is a critical part of our strategy to ensure foolproof security. Our goal is not just to prevent threats, but also to reassure the public that their safety is our top priority," Reddy said. The SSP added that the operation was purely preventive and urged citizens to remain calm. "There is no need for panic. Our security forces are fully prepared and these checks will continue in the coming days. However, public cooperation is essential," Reddy said.

Kishan Reddy accuses Congress of betraying BCs with its reservation policies
Hyderabad: In a sharp critique of the Congress Party's reservation framework, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy accused Congress of deliberately misleading Backward Classes (BCs) with its proposed 42 per cent reservation scheme for local bodies, which includes a 10 per cent quota for Muslims. Addressing the media in the national capital, Delhi, on Friday, the Minister referred to a precedent set by former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, who introduced a 4 per cent reservation for Muslims under the BC-E category during his tenure. This action was struck down twice by the High Court. Although Congress later obtained a stay from the Supreme Court to continue implementing the reservation, Reddy contends that this move was 'unconstitutional' and detrimental to the core BC groups. Kishan Reddy alleged that Congress inflated BC population figures by including 10 per cent Muslims in the claimed 56 per cent BC demographic, reducing actual BC numbers to 46 per cent. He said that the party's attempt to hike the Muslim reservation quota from 4 per cent to 10 per cent within the BC framework is labeled as unjust. Referring to the GHMC elections, where 34 per cent BC reservations allegedly benefited AIMIM candidates, not genuine BCs, he added. Reddy emphasized that reservations historically apply to castes engaged in traditional hereditary occupations and accused Congress of diverting these benefits for political appeasement. He warned that, under the guise of uplifting BCs, Congress was actually diminishing the 34 per cent BC quota to 32% after merging the 10 per cent Muslim component. The Minister highlighted the BJP's achievements in promoting BC leadership, including the appointment of BC members to the Union Cabinet and the granting of constitutional status to the BC Commission. He contrasted this with Congress's alleged failure to elevate BCs to Chief Minister or Prime Minister positions since independence. Kishan Reddy criticized the Congress leaders' remarks questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's community. He clarified that Modi was included in the BC list in 1994 under the Congress-led government of Gujarat, which occurred before his political ascent. He also questioned the logic behind labeling several communities as 'converted' BCs, citing the inclusion of Vishwakarmas and the Lambada community in SC/ST lists over decades. Calling out Congress's decline in electoral relevance, Reddy asserted that the party had been rejected in key states and faced significant losses, including zero seats in Delhi. He attributed the recent personal attacks on Modi to frustration among Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy. He said that the BJP is demanding that local body elections be conducted in line with Telangana High Court orders and that the proposed 42 per cent BC reservations exclude Muslim beneficiaries. Kishan Reddy urged Congress to clarify who stands to gain from this model and challenged Revanth Reddy to resign as Chief Minister in favor of a BC candidate.
