Cong must name its meeting ‘Samajika Anyaya Samara Bheri': Bandi Sanjay
Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar questioned the Congress party holding the 'Samajika Samara Bheri' (public meeting on struggles for Social Justice) in the city, attended by AICC Chief Mallikarjun Kharge. He said on Friday, the Congress party has ruled the 'country and our state for more than half a century, yet has never appointed a Backward Class (BC) person as Prime Minister or Chief Minister.' It exposes the betrayal of the people, especially as they have failed to implement even the six guarantees that would primarily benefit Dalits, backwards classes, and weaker sections. Against this backdrop, he demanded the justification for holding the meeting. He demanded that AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge answer the people. Otherwise, this meeting should be renamed to 'Social Injustice Samara Bheri.' He said in contrast to the Congress, the BJP appointed Ram Nath Kovind, a Dalit; Draupadi Murmu, a tribal; and Abdul Kalam, a minority, as President. The BJP's history includes providing positions to 27 OBCs, 12 Dalits, 6 minorities, and 8 women in the central cabinet—a historic achievement. The BJP has also appointed him, a BC, as a central minister. Sanjay Kumar noted that he, along with other BC leaders like Dr. K. Laxman and Bandaru Dattatreya, has received significant positions. The Congress party, which once mocked Modi—who also comes from a BC background—as a 'chaiwala' if he were Prime Minister, has much to answer for. The Karimnagar MP recalled Modi's announcement that if the BJP comes to power in Telangana, a BC will become the Chief Minister. He further challenged Congress on how many BCs have been appointed in the Congress state's cabinet, 'even though they claim that BCs make up more than 50 per cent of the population.' He pointed out that if BC leader Ponnam Prabhakar had been given a position, it would have been a step toward justice for BCs. How can Congress justify holding a social justice rally when they have denied BC representation? He also criticized the Congress for failing to provide women with promised financial support, such as Rs. 2,500 per month, Rs. 4,000 as a pension, Rs. 4,000 as unemployment benefits, Rs. 5 lakh in assurance for students, and Rs. 21,000 per acre for farmers, along with bonus payments. Why have they failed to deliver on the 420 promises in their manifesto, including the six guarantees? AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge needs to address these questions at the social justice rally, he demanded. Regarding the shortage of fertilisers, he stated that the Congress and BRS parties are unfairly blaming the central government for the urea shortage as the local body elections approach. Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, who is experienced, is being misled by wrong information. During the last agriculture season, 'Telangana required 9 lakh metric tons of urea, but the central government supplied 12 lakh metric tons. It was 3 lakh metric tons more than what the state of Telangana requested. The Centre is willing to provide the same or more during the current agriculture season.' However, he questioned where the additional urea that remained from the earlier agriculture season went and criticised the state for blaming the Centre without accounting for these discrepancies. 'The onus is on the state government to take appropriate action if there are any hurdles. The Centre is willing to consider Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao's requests favourably. The state must communicate the facts to the public.

Bandi accuses Congress of rendering severe injustice to BCs
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has accused the Congress party of denying Backward Classes (BCs) their rightful share in political and other vital spheres, thereby rendering grave injustice to them. The Congress had never made a BC leader the Prime Minister and Chief Minister during its nearly half a century rule, he charged while speaking to reporters at Marrimadla village in Rajanna Sircilla district on Friday.. Earlier, the Union Minister laid the foundation stones for staff quarters and compound wall of the Ekalavya Model Residential School at an estimated cost of ₹5 crore in Marrimadla. He said, 'What is the rationale behind conducting a meeting christened as 'Samajika Nyaya Samara Bheri' by the Congress in Hyderabad given its dubious distinction of rendering severe injustice to BCs.' The Congress leaders should have named it as 'Samajika Anyaya Samara Bheri', he said. Mr. Sanjay asserted that the BJP has the proven track record of making leaders of BCs and other weaker sections occupy key constitutional posts at the national level and giving weaker sections due share in the Union Cabinet. He alleged that the ruling Congress party is spearheading false propaganda against the BJP to cover up its failure to implement six poll guarantees and 420 promises made in its 2023 Assembly elections manifesto. Both the Congress and the BRS are deliberately trying to blame the Central government over the urea issue, he flayed. He noted that the Centre had allocated 12 lakh metric tonnes of urea as against the requirement of 9 lakh metric tonnes of urea to Telangana in the last season. The Centre is ready to give adequate quantities of urea in the current season, he said, condemning the 'false propaganda' against the Centre over the issue.

Bihar's Electoral Roll Revision: Reform Or Voter Exclusion Risk? Expert Flags Concerns
New Delhi: The upcoming assembly election in Bihar has prompted the Election Commission of India (ECI) to begin a special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, a large-scale verification of voters in sync with the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2003. Through citizenship verification drives (CVDs), the state's 7.89 crore voters will need to ascertain their citizenship before the deadline of July 25, using one of 11 specified documents excluding Aadhaar and MNREGA card. Critics are also projecting the possible scenario of a "votebandi" where up to two crore voters would potentially lose voting rights. Since June 25, the SIR process has enabled booth level officers (BLOs) to reach almost 1.5 crore households, as per the ECI's latest statement to the media. They have issued a total of 6,86,17,932 enumeration forms which accounts for 87 per cent of the electors. The ECI is supported by 1,54,977 booth level agents (BLAs) and among them 52,689 belong to BJP while 47,504 belong to the RJD. An "inclusion first" approach is the priority. Close to 38 lakh filled and signed forms have been submitted and there are still two more BLO visits planned which would complete all household visits. The remaining households could be long term travelers, migrants, or voters who have passed away. The draft electoral roll will be published on August 1 with verification ramping up on August 2, and the final electoral rolls on September 30. The strict documentation guidelines alongside the tight timeline have raised concerns. The situation is further complicated by obsolete 2003 voter data and a staggering 20,000 unfilled BLO positions. Furthermore, the state's literacy rate of 61 per cent, as recorded in the 2011 census, suggests that many from disenfranchised communities lack essential documents such as a Class 10 certificate, which is required to obtain a birth certificate. The additional exclusion of Aadhaar and voter ID cards as acceptable forms of identification only worsens the situation. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Sanjay Kumar, a psephologist and former director of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), unpacked the complexities of Bihar's SIR. With decades of expertise in India's electoral dynamics, particularly Bihar's caste and migration-driven politics, Mr Kumar acknowledged the need to address ghost voters and erroneous exclusions, but criticised the ECI's approach. "The SIR timeline from June 25 to July 25 is impracticable both on a technical and a human level," Mr Kumar said. "How is it possible for ECI to give notice on June 24 and begin verification the next day? Six months would give far greater scope. Why is it not adequate for Aadhaar and voter ID cards - which are widely used in Bihar as proof - to be valid ID for eligibility considerations? We should ask why these are not adequate." Mr Kumar highlighted the burden on voters added after 2003, who must provide birth certificates or matriculation certificates - documents that many lack due to Bihar's socio-economic challenges. "The process resembles a census, placing an undue burden on voters, especially the poor, Dalits, and migrants," he said. The ECI's assurance that no eligible voter will be left behind has not addressed widespread confusion and lack of awareness, he added. Mr Kumar asked the ECI to halt the SIR, engage with opposition parties, and resume transparently or consider delaying the elections to ensure inclusivity. "Maharashtra, Delhi, and Haryana elections have already faced voter manipulation controversies. The ECI, as an independent body, must prioritize transparency," Mr Kumar said. He asked opposition parties, including the INDIA bloc, to assess voter deletions post-SIR before deciding on election participation. Political Backlash And ECI's Response The SIR has ignited a political firestorm. Opposition leaders like Tejashwi Yadav (RJD), Pappu Yadav, and Prashant Kishor have accused the ECI of targeting marginalised groups, alleging the process could disproportionately exclude the poor, Dalit, and migrant voters. The INDIA bloc fears over two crore voter deletions, a concern Mr Kumar echoed as a risk to democratic fairness. In contrast, NDA leaders like Chirag Paswan defend the SIR as a legal and necessary step to ensure electoral integrity. The new Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has reiterated the ECI's commitment to inclusivity, promising that no eligible voter will be excluded. However, with the July 25 deadline looming and logistical hurdles mounting, the feasibility of this pledge remains uncertain. A Well-Intentioned Effort Or A Calculated Move? The SIR's alignment with the Citizenship Act aims to clean Bihar's voter rolls, but its execution has raised questions about its intent and impact. Is it a well-meaning effort to ensure electoral accuracy gone awry, or a calculated move to reshape Bihar's electorate? As Mr Kumar noted, the ECI's impartiality can only be judged after the revised rolls are published.
