No CM faced wrath of people like Revanth Reddy, says KTR
Ridiculing the criticism of KCR by Revanth Reddy, Rama Rao said if he was sitting in the CM's chair it is because of the BRS chief. He made these comments while addressing a group of Congress leaders and workers from Medak who joined the BRS party at Telangana Bhavan. Stating that the Siddipet was once known for pigs and donkeys, the BRS leader said that donkeys have now left from Medak except for one or two and these two would also leave soon.
Lashing out at the chief minister, Rao said, 'We have seen NT Rama Rao, YS Rajasekhara Reddy, K Rosaiah and KCR. No one faced the wrath of the people like Revanth Reddy. It is all drainage when he opens his mouth,' said KTR. He said that the chief minister promised loan waiver of Rs 2 lakh. The CM claimed waiving loans worth Rs 50,000 crore but washed off his hands by waiving just Rs 12,000 crore to Rs 13,000 crore. He assured RythuBandhu of Rs 15,000 for three crops but he gave just Rs 12,000 and wanted the farmers to celebrate and boasted that he will win 100 seats, said KTR.
Taking objections to the language used by the chief minister against the leader of opposition, KTR said, 'Revanth should not forget that today he was sitting in the CM's post only because of KCR. We were in power for ten years but never talked irresponsibly. Is this IndirammaRajyam? Booking cases against people who post against the government.'
Senior leader T Harish Rao said that earlier people used to say Siddipet means pigs and Medak means lots of donkeys. Now these places have been developed amazingly. There is Ramayampet Degree College, SC, ST Residential schools, KCR modernized the Ghanapuram canal. He ensured that even the last ayacut gets water. While KCR gave RythuBandhu in between cropping season, Revanth Reddy is giving in between the voting season. Lashing out at Irrigation Minister, Harish Rao said that Uttam Kumar Reddy always lies. 'Is it not a lie that you are cheating by not turning on the motors in Kalwakurthy while the gates are being lifted in Pothireddypadu and taking Krishna water? Isn't it true that lakhs of cusecs are going in Godavari? It is like the Revanth administration is sending water to Andhra and funds to Delhi,' said Harish Rao.

France's heatwave politics: Far-right leader Le Pen proposes massive AC plan ahead of 2027 election
As Europe swelters under yet another record-breaking heatwave, French far-right leader Marine Le Pen seized the moment to pitch a populist promise ahead of the 2027 presidential elections, a nationwide 'grand plan for air conditioning.' Speaking in Parliament, Le Pen, MP for Pas-de-Calais, declared that 'air conditioning saves lives,' and criticised France's public infrastructure for being ill-equipped to handle extreme heat. Alongside ally Éric Ciotti, she introduced a bill this week proposing mandatory air conditioning in essential public spaces. The proposal comes as France grapples with scorching summer temperatures and a long-standing reluctance to adopt widespread air conditioning, a cultural preference and sense of pride shared across much of Europe, where cooling systems are often viewed as environmentally unfriendly. According to France's national environment agency Ademe, only 25 per cent of French homes had air conditioning in 2020 which was 14 per cent up from 2016. But Le Pen has faced strong political criticism for her proposal. Ecological transition minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher dismissed air conditioning as an inadequate adaptation to climate change, warning that such systems heat the streets and contribute to urban heat islands. 'You're cooling one room but heating another,' she said, adding that France should prioritise building insulation and green urban planning over widespread AC installation. Green party leader Marine Tondelier echoed the criticism, accusing Le Pen of reducing environmental policy to buying air conditioning units, and calling for structural reforms like planting trees and upgrading buildings. A study from 2020 on Paris air conditioning warned that massive use of AC often vents hot air onto the streets and could intensify heatwaves by several degrees Celsius. Nonetheless, support for cooling systems is quietly growing among French households as heatwaves become more common with more people opting for ACs but they come with a set of rules. Planning Approval Noise Limits Certified Installation Environmental Rules (RE2020) Mandatory maintenance For units with >2kg refrigerant or >12kW: EU Compliance Must display: Cost Total (incl. installation): €700–€6,000 (Rs 70,000 to Rs 1 lakh)

BRS women leaders flay Seethakka for tongue lashing at KTR
HYDERABAD Former MP from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) M. Kavitha has condemned the comments of Minister for Panchayat Raj D. Anasuya alias Seethakka against BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao and sought to know whether the Minister would have free run despite speaking anything by playing the 'adivasi' card. Criticising the Minister for speaking against KTR's response to the BRS' protest in Mulugu on Monday, the former MP said here on Tuesday that if Ms. Seethakka was so sane why the Maoists had released a letter against her activities, why the Congress ranks had complained against her to AICC in-charge of party affairs Meenakshi Natarajan and what was her stand on the GO 49. Ms. Kavitha reminded the Minister that it was because former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao that Mulugu had become a district and the camp office the Minister was using now was also constructed by the BRS government. She alleged that it was Ms. Seethakka who was insulting adivasis day in and day out and making her cronies manhandle/attack those making social media posts against her activities, including illegal sand mining. Former Zilla Parishad Chairperson and former president of the BRS women's wing Tula Uma said there was a huge difference between the Minister Seethakka and Seethakka before and she was indulging in tongue lashing due to her arrogance of power.
