DMK govt is deceiving Malayali tribe people: Murugan
L Murugan ERODE: The DMK govt is deceiving the Malayali tribe people in Bargur and Kadambur hills in Erode district by not passing a resolution in the Tamil Nadu assembly for getting them recognized under the scheduled tribe category, Union minister of state for information and broadcasting and parliamentary affairs L Murugan said on Tuesday. Murugan was speaking at a meeting with BJP functionaries and residents of the Kadambur hills. "It is a long-standing demand of the 30,000 Malayali people residing in Bargur and Kadambur hills that they be recognized under the scheduled category," Murugan said.

"The state govt must pass a resolution in the assembly and forward it to the Centre. Only then can the central govt legally include the Malayali people on the scheduled tribe list,' he said. "The DMK govt has failed to do this. It was merely sending letters from the department secretary in 1999, 2002 and 2022," he said. As a result, the Malayali community was unable to gain inclusion in the scheduled tribe, which adversely impacted their livelihoods, education, advancement and employment opportunities, he said. The central govt has included the Narikuravar community in the scheduled caste. 'This demand was not initiated by the people themselves. Rather, the Prime Minister took this step to enhance their living conditions,' he added.

BJP targets Congress leadership over Maha drug case, slams DMK on Madurai land scam
New Delhi, July 15 (UNI) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a scathing attack on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge, alleging that their close associate was involved in a narcotics case in Maharashtra. The party also criticised the ruling DMK government in Tamil Nadu over alleged irregularities in land record management in Madurai. Addressing a press conference here, BJP national secretary and spokesperson Anil K. Antony referred to the arrest of Lingaraj Kanni, a Congress functionary and Block President of Kalaburagi in Karnataka, along with two associates, Irfan and Tausif, in Thane, Maharashtra. The three were reportedly found in possession of 120 bottles of banned narcotic substances and were arrested for alleged drug trafficking. Antony alleged that Kanni shares close ties with AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge, the latter being Kharge's son and an MLA from Kalaburagi. He criticised the Congress party for what he described as its silence over the arrest of senior leaders' close aides, while frequently demanding accountability from the BJP on various issues. 'When will Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyank Kharge and Rahul Gandhi break their silence on this matter?' Antony asked. Turning his attention to Tamil Nadu, Antony raised concerns over an alleged land revenue scam in the Madurai Municipal Corporation, governed by the DMK. He accused the administration of manipulating software systems to undervalue land records, resulting in a reported tax revenue loss of Rs 150–Rs 200 crore to the state exchequer. 'This is yet another scam under the DMK regime, which has already seen controversies related to fisheries, sand mining, ETL infrastructure, TASMAC liquor sales, and now land records,' Antony said. With Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for 2026, the BJP leader appealed to the electorate to consider voting for a 'clean, transparent and development-oriented NDA government.' He also urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to initiate strict action against those involved in the Madurai land scam and uphold standards of good governance. 'The reality is that only the BJP and the NDA can provide a corruption-free, accountable administration in Tamil Nadu,' Antony said. UNI AJ RN

Rajasthan energy minister Heeralal Nagar's Rs 2 lakh electricity bill unpaid: Hanuman Beniwal alleges VIP bias; flags fund misuse
Hanuman Beniwal, Heeralal Nagar NEW DELHI: Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal has alleged that Rajasthan energy minister Heeralal Nagar has unpaid electricity bills worth over Rs 2 lakh, even as the power supply to Beniwal's official residence and MP office in Nagaur was recently cut over non-payment of dues. Beniwal claimed to have shared documents showing pending dues of Rs 2.17 lakh for Nagar's government bungalow on Hospital Road. He questioned whether the minister's connection would also be disconnected, as his had been. According to Beniwal, bills for Nagar's Jyoti Nagar flats were cleared from government funds. However, when officials tried to settle the Hospital Road bill the same way, the treasury reportedly refused, stating that only one bill per minister can be paid from public money. The minister denied having any pending dues and clarified that the bill in question is still within its due date. Beniwal further alleged corruption in the installation of smart meters, claiming that the process involved kickbacks reaching up to senior officials, including the minister. He said the tendering process began under the Congress government, but was finalised and implemented under the BJP, without any changes to conditions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 息を呑むようなファンタジーの世界に足を踏み入れ、かつてないほどゲームを制覇しましょう レイドシャドウレジェンド 今すぐインストール Undo Beniwal also raised allegations against Khivsar MLA Rewant Ram Danga, pointing to overdue bills and alleged rule violations in granting electricity connections.
