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.
