NDA government committed to development, says Minister Dola Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy
ONGOLE: Social Welfare Minister Dola Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy on Friday said the NDA government is working with a clear development agenda, unlike the previous YSRCP regime, which he accused of pursuing political vendetta and neglecting welfare. The Minister said, 'YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy is still shamelessly indulging in mudslinging, despite his party being reduced to 11 seats. Their defeat has not brought them any political introspection,' he remarked. He criticised the YSRCP leadership for backing derogatory remarks made against Amaravati women and supporting party leaders using 'rappa rappa narukutam'-style rhetoric on television debates. 'What message does the former CM want to send to society by encouraging such behaviour?' he questioned. Earlier in Singarayakonda, Dola and District Collector A Thameem Ansariya laid the foundation stone for a new Anna Canteen, with an estimated cost of Rs 61 lakh. The officials instructed that the canteen be made operational by October 2 without delay. Dola inspected modernisation works at the SC boys' hostel and directed officials to complete the works within the set timeframe, maintaining quality standards. Dola said, 'The previous YSRCP regime shut down Anna Canteens, depriving the poor of affordable meals. Now, under the NDA government, the canteens have been reopened and meals are being served at Rs 5 each.' He added that pre-election promises have been fulfilled, including the reintroduction of the 'Talliki Vandanam' scheme.

Centre under PM Modi spent Rs 2L cr in 11 yrs on TG farm sector: BJP
Hyderabad: BJP State Spokesperson Rani Rudrama stated that the NDA government at the Centre, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has invested approximately Rs 2 lakh crore into the agriculture sector in Telangana. Addressing the media on Friday, she said that neither the current Congress government in Telangana nor the previous BRS government can develop agriculture with the same clarity and direction demonstrated by the Modi-led government at the national level. From 2014 to 2025, the NDA government has allocated lakhs of crores of rupees to the agriculture sector in Telangana. Notably, Rs 57,556 crore was spent on cotton purchases alone. In 2014, the expenditure on cotton was Rs 3,404 crore, while for the 2023-24 season, Rs 20,998 crore has been budgeted for a single season. During this period, the Centre has invested Rs 57,556 crore in cotton purchases, while the Cotton Corporation of India has bought cotton worth Rs 58,000 crore from farmers in Telangana to date. Rudrama pointed out that when the Congress government came to power, it promised a bonus of Rs 500 per quintal for 14 crops. However, the bonus was only announced for three crops and distributed to only half of the farmers, leaving the rest without any compensation. Even after declaring that the bonus would be provided to only half of the farmers, the process remains incomplete, which she described as a fraud committed by the Congress party.
