DMK to begin door-to-door campaign tomorrow
"DMK functionaries and cadres will meet the residents in person and inform them about the injustices being done to Tamil Nadu by the BJP. They will simultaneously carry out the membership campaign. The work will commence on July 3. We will conduct public meetings at three places on Wednesday evening to convey the betrayals of the BJP govt at the Centre to the people," Senthilbalaji said while addressing the media at his office at Peelamedu here in the afternoon.
Pointing out that the district was home to 31.85 lakh voters, he said the DMK's target was to attract 10 lakh voters to the party. Senthilbalaji said chief minister M K Stalin was restoring the rights of Tamil Nadu that were lost during the AIADMK regime.

5 BJP workers suspended for assaulting BMC officer
Bhubaneswar: A day after Odisha Administrative Services (OAS) officer and Additional Commissioner of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Ratnakar Sahoo was assaulted by some alleged supporters of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jagannath Pradhan, the party State unit president Manmohan Samal on Tuesday suspended five BJP workers, including a corporator, from the primary membership of the party. The suspended party workers include Corporator Aparup Narayan Raut, Rashmi Ranjan Mohapatra, Debashis Pradhan, Sachikant Swain and Sanjeev Mishra. Acting on the FIR lodged by the victim OAS officer Sahoo, the police had earlier arrested three BJP workers, Raut, Mohapatra and Debashis for their involvement in the assault. Meanwhile, senior BJP leader Jagannath Pradhan on Tuesday claimed that the allegations made against him by Mayor Sulochana Das and other BJD leaders were nothing but political vendetta. 'I condemn the attack on the Additional Commissioner. Action has already been taken against the accused, and the Chief Minister has also held discussions with BMC officials and other stakeholders. We extend full sympathy to Ratnakar Sahoo. This incident should not have happened,' said Pradhan. Pradhan further said that if anyone from his constituency takes his name while committing a crime, it does not imply his involvement. 'How could such an incident happen inside a secure office when the Mayor herself was present? It appears they allowed this to happen, filmed the incident, and circulated it in the media to politicise the matter,' alleged Pradhan, while questioning the security arrangements at the BMC office. Giving the background of the incident, Pradhan alleged that the public outrage against the senior officer of the BMC stemmed from an issue involving a Swachh Sathi — a sanitation volunteer supported by Mission Shakti — from his constituency. 'She was assigned the task of mobilising beneficiaries for a recent government event marking one year of the State government's formation, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to join. She fulfilled her duty, but BJD-backed people and the Additional Commissioner targeted her for helping make the event successful,' claimed Pradhan. Pradhan said he had raised the matter with the BMC Commissioner after learning that the volunteer was harassed by officials. 'The persons involved had only gone to the BMC office to discuss the issue. Unfortunately, an altercation broke out, which could have been avoided. But the Mayor unnecessarily escalated the matter,' he added. On the other hand, the Swachh Sathi concerned, Rebati Rout, claimed that BMC Additional Commissioner Sahoo had allegedly threatened that she would lose her job for facilitating people to take part in the recent rally of Prime Minister Modi in Bhubaneswar. Notably, at around 11.30 am on Monday, when the public grievance meeting was in progress in the presence of other officers, staff and general people at the BMC office, six to seven unknown individuals entered the premises unauthorisedly and assaulted Sahoo after enquiring whether he had a conversation with BJP leader Jagannath Pradhan over the phone. The Odisha Administrative Service Association (OASA) came out in support of Sahoo announcing that it would go on mass leave from Tuesday.

Winning polls our mission, says new TG BJP chief
Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party's new state chief N Ramchander Rao on Tuesday called on the rank and file of the party to work hard together to win from the panchayat to Parliament elections. After Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment Shobha Karandlaje announced his election, Rao stated that the people of Telangana would soon see the BJP as their only alternative. The former MLC stated that he was president in name only, emphasizing that he was a party worker first to serve the BJP, and that party workers were the true leaders of the party. He assured that he would implement the collective decision of the party and called for a united effort to raise the saffron flag over Golkonda Fort. The new BJP state chief stressed that all factions and generations within the BJP are united, without any disputes. There are neither old nor new schools. "New inflows should come for the river to flow. Telangana youth must enter politics. I encourage youth and women to join the BJP. With the implementation of 33 per cent reservation, there will be many opportunities created for women in the political landscape," he said. Turning his ire towards the party's political bete noires, he criticised that the BRS and Congress are spreading fake news through their so-called WhatsApp universities. Party workers should remember Swami Vivekananda's words and remain strong, avoiding belief without evidence. He dared the Congress and the BRS, "If you have the courage, let's confront this issue directly. Those who hide behind fake news are cowards." He further warned that as a criminal lawyer, he would not hesitate to hold the masterminds of fake news accountable. "Ramchander Rao is not a gentle person; I went to jail 14 times when I was with ABVP. I was even beaten by the police. However, even after suffering broken arms and legs, I continued to work without abandoning my ideology. While I am gentle by nature, if it comes to battle, I will be a warrior - ready to wield the sword first," he added. Recalling how he had fought legal battles alongside students, lawyers, and the underprivileged, he said, "From now on, I am prepared to fight tirelessly for the people of Telangana. I will work collaboratively with everyone to bring the BJP to power."

Telangana HC raps police for settling civil disputes against court orders
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court on Tuesday pulled up the police for "settling" civil disputes despite court injunctions. It orally directed the DGP to ensure the SOPs on duties of cops are displayed at police stations and uploaded on the website for people's benefit. Justice Tadakamalla Vinod Kumar gave the direction while hearing a petition of Pamu Sudharshanam accusing Nagole police of forcing him to settle a civil dispute through registration of criminal cases. He said the police were asking him to pay 55 lakh to real estate agents for settling a dispute over his plot in Bandlaguda. Rachakonda commissioner G Sudheer Babu appeared via virtual mode and Nagole SHO appeared physically to explain their stand on allegations. The court, which prima facie concluded that the plot owner was detained in Nagole police station to settle the matter, directed cops to produce CCTV footage of the day.
