Gear up for Jubilee Hills bypoll & panchayat polls: Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy to cadre
Addressing the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) followed by the executive committee meeting in Gandhi Bhavan, Revanth instructed the party leadership to establish committees for poll booths, villages and mandals at the earliest.
The members of these committees should communicate the welfare schemes of the Congress govt in the last 18 months to every household ahead of the local body elections, he said.
"Party should get closer to the people. Our 18-month governance is a golden period. Take it to the people. Leaders should become a link between the people and the govt. Encourage debates on every platform in villages so that people can compare and discuss our 18 months with 10 years of destruction of Telangana by the previous BRS govt.
We need to tell the people what our govt has done and how Telangana has become a role model on several fronts for the country.
Our caste survey has forced even Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce a nationwide caste census," Revanth said.

Revanth offered to visit every village while pointing out that strengthening party at panchayat level was essential to help it win assembly and Lok Sabha polls.
The CM also emphasised that winning Jubilee Hills bypoll would be crucial ahead of the
GHMC elections
later in the year.
He criticised aspirants for declaring themselves as candidates for the bypoll, stating that while aspiring for posts is acceptable, indiscipline and making tall claims in the media will not be tolerated.
Expressing his ire over lack of accountability, he put the responsibility of winning local body elections on the district in-charge ministers.
"The CM was unhappy with indiscipline and protests at Gandhi Bhavan for ministerial berths and other party posts.
He also expressed his anger over funds provided not being spent in districts and instructed that they be spent expeditiously ahead of local body elections," a sources privy to the meeting said.
He said district in-charge ministers and senior leaders should immediately fill them up. The cadres should not be disappointed, he said. "We can go for panchayat polls if party leaders and cadres say they are ready," he said.
Later, he released the book "From Destruction to Development", a compilation of articles by TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud on governance in the state.

Ideological politics being edged out by ‘Swiggy politics': CM Revanth Reddy
HYDERABAD: Stating that ideology-based politics was disappearing from the country's political landscape, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday expressed concern that they were gradually being replaced by what he described as 'Swiggy politics.' 'The number of leaders committed to ideology is declining in our politics. This is a danger to democracy. The country is moving rapidly towards instability, with political managers taking centrestage and democratic values weakening,' he said. The chief minister was speaking at an event jointly organised by ICFAI and the Capital Foundation Society in Hyderabad, where he presented the Jaipal Reddy Democracy Award to economist Mohan Guruswamy. Addressing the gathering, Revanth stressed the need for ideological student politics in universities and said efforts must be made to curb the role of money in politics. 'We are gradually increasing the number of Assembly sitting days. In the last 18 months, not a single MLA has been suspended,' he said. Paying tribute to Jaipal Reddy, Revanth said that the late leader played a key role in national politics and remained in public life until his last breath. 'As a Union minister, he was instrumental in shaping policies and legislation. His oratory skills earned him the Best Parliamentarian Award,' Revanth said.

CM Revanth Reddy felicitates Kargil War hero Col Joy Dasgupta
HYDERABAD: On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy felicitated Colonel Joy Dasgupta of the 18 Grenadiers, one of Hyderabad's distinguished Kargil war heroes. Col Dasgupta, who was a Major during the Kargil War, played a key role in Operation Tololing — a mission to capture Tololing Hill, a critical strategic height then under the control of Pakistani forces. The enemy's position on Tololing, which overlooks National Highway 1A, posed a severe threat to operational logistics in the entire theatre, including Batalik, Turtuk, and Kargil. The 18 Grenadiers, tasked with reclaiming the post, launched multi-pronged attacks and successfully captured Tololing. For his exceptional bravery during the operation, Col Dasgupta was awarded the Sena Medal. A native of Hyderabad, Col Dasgupta completed his intermediate education at Wesley College, graduated from Osmania University, and received military training from the Officers' Training Academy, Chennai, before being commissioned into the Indian Army in May 1995. He was entrusted with leading two Army companies during the operation. Accompanied by his octogenarian mother, Col Dasgupta discussed with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy various ways the state government could inspire and support more youth to join the armed forces.

Goyal: No compromises, only benefits in trade deal with UK
NEW DELHI: Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal Saturday said that India managed to get extensive benefits without making any compromises under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the UK. "We have protected many of our sensitive items like rice and sugar. Dairy has not been opened, so is ethanol. India has kept itself safe in the areas that are sensitive. No duty concession has been given (in these areas). This FTA carries a very big message for the future economy of India. We will all see the benefits that India will get under it in the coming years," he said told the media. Goyal said Indian seafood will be able to compete more favourably with produce from Vietnam and Singapore in the UK market. The minister said that govt managed to lower the duties on automobiles and scotch - areas where talks had been held up for years - but ensured that the volumes were not significant to affect the domestic industry. Similarly, he argued there was no compromise on intellectual property rights. "We will not allow any evergreening of patents. Yet, we have managed to get a very strong chapter on intellectual property not just in the UK agreement, but also with EFTA countries," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15+ Food That Clean Arteries (Most People Ignore) Undo Switzerland, which is part of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the UK have for long demanded easier rules around patents as both are home to large pharma companies. Citing the recent controversy over Prada launching footwear that was a rip-off of Kolhapuri chappals, Goyal said with the implementation of CETA, India will get the credit for products that enjoy Geographical Indication (GI). "Someone used the design of our Kolhapuri sandal. Commerce ministry immediately took action on it. In future, when Kolhapuri sandals are exported, India will get the credit. It will be exported as India's GI product," he said. While being critical of the review of trade agreements with Japan, South Korea and Asean countries, which were signed by UPA, Goyal said the UK treaty provided for a review every five years, but both countries needed to agree. Separately, the commerce department said the UK treaty safeguards to temporarily raise tariffs or suspend concessions in case of a sudden surge in British imports, which harms domestic industry. The duration of a bilateral safeguard measure under this pact is initially up to two years and can be extended for an additional two years if investigations show that the safeguard measure is needed to prevent serious injury to domestic industry.
