Current house layouts not suitable for the poor: MLA K Rajgopal Reddy
In a significant step towards housing for the underprivileged, he participated in the distribution of sanctioned Indiramma housing documents to beneficiaries in Damerakunta village, located in Choutuppal Mandal. The event also saw the participation of MLC Nellikanti Satyam and District Collector Hanumantha Rao.
The MLA also addressed rising construction material costs, blaming middlemen for hiking the prices of cement and iron. He promised to negotiate with company owners in the undivided Nalgonda district to ensure subsidized rates for Indiramma housing beneficiaries.
Reassuring his constituents, Reddy said, 'You gave me a huge majority from Munugode, and I will repay your faith by ensuring every one of you gets a proper home. No other government in the country has taken up housing on such a massive scale.'
Rajgopal Reddy expressed his happiness over the distribution of housing documents to many poor families under the 18-month-old Congress-led public welfare administration. He criticised the previous BRS government, stating that not a single house was constructed under its rule for the past ten years, whereas the current government is working towards the construction of 10,000 houses in the constituency. 'No poor person should lose hope,' he said. 'It is my personal responsibility to ensure every underprivileged family receives a house.'
Reddy alleged that schemes like Dalit Bandhu and Double Bedroom Houses under the previous regime were distributed only to party loyalists. He also warned that if any ineligible or influential persons receive government benefits, they will be cancelled and redirected to the truly deserving poor.
Highlighting issues with the current scheme, Reddy pointed out that the Rs 5 lakh financial assistance being provided by the government is insufficient to complete the Indiramma houses. He urged district collectors to take this concern to the attention of the state government.

Congress slams govt for ‘institutional sabotage' over Justice Yashwant Varma impeachment
New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday accused the government of " institutional sabotage " for refusing to admit the Opposition-backed impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma in the Rajya Sabha , while proceeding with a similar motion in the Lok Sabha signed by both ruling and Opposition MPs. Senior Congress leader and lawyer Abhishek Singhvi said the Centre had ignored former RS Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar's move to make the Opposition motion "property of the House" before his resignation. He warned that the government's conduct could give Justice Varma procedural grounds to challenge the impeachment.

He also linked the episode to Dhankhar's abrupt resignation, questioning if he was forced out and if MPs were pressured to sign additional papers. Singhvi added that the Congress had first raised corruption allegations in the Varma case, while the BJP was silent.

Sent Rs 3 lakh crore to Tamil Nadu: PM refutes MK Stalin's claim on central funds
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday refuted Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's claim that the state was denied its rightful share of funds by the Centre, and said that Rs 3 lakh crore was disbursed to the south Indian state in the last 10 years, which was thrice as much as the UPA government released from 2004 to 2014. The PM said that as many as 11 new medical colleges have also been set up in Tamil Nadu in the last 11 years with the Centre's help. Notably, DMK chief Stalin has been continuously complaining about the Modi government not releasing enough funds for Tamil Nadu. After the Niti Aayog meeting in New Delhi in May, Stalin said that due to a few states not signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education on the PM Shri scheme, the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan funding was denied. He said that specifically, for the year 2024-2025, nearly Rs 2,200 crore in Union funding was withheld from Tamil Nadu. On Saturday, PM Modi addressed a public rally in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi, where he inaugurated infrastructural projects worth Rs 4,900 crore. PM Modi reached Thoothukudi directly from the Maldives where he completed a two-day state visit and signed a number of key agreements with President Mohamed Muizzu.
