60 women to get party ticket in next Assembly polls: Revanth
He would personally take up this responsibility and ensure that the allotment goes beyond the quota for women.
The Chief Minister indicated that approximately 50 seats would be reserved for women after delimitation of Assembly seats and passage of the women's reservation Bill. In addition, the party would pick women nominees in at least 10 more seats to ensure a larger women representation in the state Assembly. Reiterating that the government has set a target of making one crore woman millionaires, Revanth Reddy maintained that women SHGs would also be formed in urban areas in their bid to empower women across fields. Revanth Reddy listed out the women empowerment schemes formulated by his government, including the responsibility of setting up solar plants, focussing on government schools for girls and encouraging women to rent out around 1,000 buses to TGSRTC.
Women's groups are now able to market their products in Hitec City, where some of the biggest MNCs and corporate houses are located.
Meanwhile, urging people to join "Vana Mahotsavam" by planting at least two saplings in their homes, he called upon mothers to take the responsibility of planting saplings in the name of their children.
The popular saying propounded by the older generations "the forest ecosystem and our living are integral" is eternally relevant, he pointed out. The Chief Minister said that Telangana will be transformed into a complete 'green' zone if everyone cultivates and nurtures trees like children.

Lorry owners call off strike after Karnataka clears pending Anna Bhagya dues
The Federation of Karnataka State Lorry Owners and Agents' Association has officially withdrawn its indefinite strike following the Karnataka government's decision to clear pending dues related to the Anna Bhagya scheme. The strike, launched on Monday, had brought the transportation of rice and foodgrains across the State to a halt. The association had cited non-payment of bills for over six months as the primary reason for the protest. However, on Tuesday, the State government issued an order releasing ₹244.1 crore towards incidental expenses including transportation charges for the period between February and May 2025. Federation president G.R. Shanmugappa welcomed the move and announced the withdrawal of the strike, stating that the government had responded positively to their demands. 'The government has promised us that all pending dues will be settled within 48 hours. Accordingly, our members have decided to resume transport services with immediate effect,' said Mr. Shanmugappa. He further added that the State has also promised to refund the earnest money deposit (EMD) of ₹26 crore, paid by lorry owners during the tendering process, within four days. Earlier, the federation had expressed frustration over the non-payment for foodgrain transportation services provided under the Anna Bhagya programme since February. Anna Bhagya, one of the Congress government's flagship welfare initiatives, offers free rice to eligible families and is a critical part of its five key guarantee schemes announced after coming to power in 2023.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is impersonated by AI in an attempt to scam foreign diplomats, a Congressman, and a Governor
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the victim of impersonation via artificial intelligence (AI). Per reporting from The Washington Post, Marco Rubio's impersonator used AI text and voice generation tools to imitate the Secretary of State's speaking and writing style in order to contact multiple foreign ministers, a Congress representative, and a state Governor. Most of this impersonation occurred via the encrypted messaging app, Signal. Signal has already been a cause of embarrassment for Donald Trump's administration due to it being the source of prior security breaches, such as a leaked group chat discussing a bombing campaign in Yemen, in which both Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were present. Mario Rubio's AI impersonator used a fake email Secretary of State Marco Rubio was impersonated by a scammer who used AI software to replicate his voice and contact government Marco Rubio's impersonator used a fake email ID called to establish contact with their targets. This fake email was used as a display name, and the scammer used AI generated voice memos to contact at least two people. The impersonator also tried to initiate text message conversations on the Signal app. The potential for AI misuse has not gone unnoticed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), which issued a warning in May about 'an ongoing malicious text and voice messaging campaign' that deliberately impersonated senior US officials in order to build a rapport with others before asking for access to their personal accounts. Concerns of AI impersonation and deepfakes are on the rise 🇺🇸 NOT MARCO RUBIO: AI SCAMMER TRICKS OFFICIALS WITH VOICE CLONESomeone used AI to mimic Marco Rubio's voice and writing, then messaged top officials on Signal pretending to be hit up 3 foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a member of Congress - leaving fake… With the increasing sophistication of AI tools and their ability to convincingly mimic human speech and writing patterns, concerns over AI impersonation and deepfakes have only begun to grow. Marco Rubio isn't the first high-level US official to be the victim of an AI impersonation, and he likely won't be the last. Former president Joe Biden was the victim of an AI impersonation during the 2024 New Hampshire primary, where automated robocalls of a deepfake impersonation of him urged residents to not go out and vote. Deepfakes have also impacted US foreign relations, with former Senator Ben Cardin revealing that he was once contacted by a deepfake of Ukranian diplomat Dmytro Kuleba and asked politically charged questions about the 2024 election.
