TGMDC chairman slams BRS, BJP over comments against Revanth government
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday, Mr. Anil Kumar advised BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao not to compare himself with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, stating that KTR cannot match Mr. Reddy in any aspect. 'You need not worry about Mr. Revanth Reddy. I'm enough to debate with you on any issues. Let's meet at the Press Club and discuss everything,' he challenged KTR.
The former MLA accused the BRS regime of being responsible for the financial distress of the State. 'Your family has bankrupted Telangana. In some Arab countries, people are stoned in stadiums for such betrayal, and such harsh punishment wouldn't be unjustified,' he said.
Training his guns at the new BJP State president N. Ramchander Rao, he questioned the BJP's commitment to BCs. 'There is no social justice in your party. You are from the Open Category (OC), your former president Kishan Reddy is an OC, and your assembly floor leader Maheshwar Reddy is an OC. You talk about BC welfare, but where is the representation?' he questioned.
Mr. Anil Kumar also slammed BRS MLC and Telangana Jagruthi president K. Kavitha for her plans to conduct rail roko demanding implementation of 42% reservation for the Backward Classes accusing the BRS that it had not done anything in this regard under their rule.

No consensus between AIADMK and BJP on alliance, says VCK chief Thirumavalavan
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) president Thol. Thirumavalavan on Sunday (July 6, 2025) said there was no consensus between the AIADMK and BJP leaders regarding their alliance. The VCK leader was speaking to reporters after participating in party events held in Veeraganur, Thedavur, Sentharapatti, and Gangavalli. 'The BJP cannot gain foothold in Tamil Nadu. The recent statement by AIADMK leader A. Anwar Raajhaa clearly shows there is no consensus between the two parties. Their alliance is incompatible, and working together is not an easy task,' Mr. Thirumavalavan said. He also extended his wishes to AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami for his State-wide pre-poll tour. 'It is common for political parties to start the groundwork ahead of elections. The DMK, for instance, begins its campaign preparations at least six months in advance,' he added. Referring to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent remark about a coalition government in Tamil Nadu in 2026, Mr. Thirumavalavan said Mr. Palaniswami has not offered a clear response. 'While Amit Shah talks about a coalition, Mr. Palaniswami is claiming the AIADMK will form the government on its own. This contradiction raises questions. The people of Tamil Nadu are keen to know whether it is a BJP-led alliance or an AIADMK-led one,' he said. When asked whether actor Vijay's political entry would affect the DMK alliance, Mr. Thirumavalavan replied, 'Success in cinema does not guarantee success in politics. We cannot assume everyone who wins in cinema will win in electoral politics.'

Tripura Town Hall To Be Renamed After Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Says CM Manik Shah
New Delhi: The BJP-led government in Tripura has announced that the Agartala Town Hall will be renamed after Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, and a marble statue of the late leader will be installed in front of the building. The announcement was made by Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha on Sunday, as part of events marking Mookerjee's 125th birth anniversary. Speaking at the Muktadhara Auditorium in Agartala, CM Saha also declared the launch of two annual awards in Mookerjee's name. One will be presented on Teachers' Day to individuals who have made significant contributions in their respective fields. Another, to be introduced next year, will recognise excellence in social, political, national, and administrative services. Sharing his thoughts on social media platform X, the chief minister described Mookerjee as a 'towering figure in safeguarding India's sovereignty after independence,' and praised his selfless service to the nation. 'With remarkable abilities, prestige, and intellect, he dedicated his life to nation-building, refusing to lead a self-centered existence,' Saha wrote. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was a towering figure in safeguarding India's sovereignty after independence. With remarkable abilities, prestige, and intellect, he dedicated his life to nation-building, refusing to lead a self-centered existence. On the 125th birth anniversary… — Prof.(Dr.) Manik Saha (@DrManikSaha2) July 6, 2025 He also recalled Mookerjee's distinguished public career, which included serving as India's first Industry Minister, Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University, Mayor of Calcutta, President of the Hindu Mahasabha, and the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh. According to Saha, Mookerjee's ideology continues to be relevant and remains a source of inspiration for citizens today. The chief minister linked Mookerjee's legacy to the present, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development vision aligns with Mookerjee's ideals and that the goal of 'Viksit Bharat 2047' is an extension of that vision. 'After PM Modi took charge in 2014, we've seen societal transformation… Earlier, Mookerjee's contributions were deliberately sidelined, but now people can see the truth,' he said. Saha also pointed to Mookerjee's strong opposition to the Nehru-Liaquat Pact of 1950, an agreement between India and Pakistan concerning the rights and safety of minorities, as a testament to his uncompromising stance on national integrity. This disagreement ultimately led to his resignation from Jawaharlal Nehru's Cabinet. 'Dr. Mookerjee's opposition to injustice and his unwavering commitment to India's sovereignty continue to inspire the nation. His resignation over the Nehru-Liaquat Agreement is a powerful example of principled leadership,' Saha added in his post. Earlier in the day, the chief minister paid tributes to Mookerjee at a program held at the BJP state headquarters and later participated in a door-to-door campaign across Agartala Municipal Corporation to highlight the achievements of the Modi-led central government. The Agartala Town Hall, which is now being renamed, was originally constructed by the previous Left Front government after the demolition of Lal Mahal, a structure that was part of the erstwhile royal palace complex, which also included the Ujjayanta Palace and Laxmi Narayan Bari Temple.

Union Minister Gadkari says World War could ‘break out anytime', flays superpowers' authoritarianism
Coordination, harmony and love are vanishing due to the authoritarianism and dictatorship of superpowers and there is an atmosphere of conflict across the world, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Sunday (July 6, 2025) while citing the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran wars. Hailing India as the land of the Buddha giving the message of truth, non-violence and peace to the world, Mr. Gadkari emphasised the need to ascertain future policy after reviewing and deliberating on international happenings underway. Speaking at the launch of the book Beyond Borders in Nagpur, the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways said these conflicts are creating a situation where World War could break out "anytime". The technological advancements pertaining to war were also making it tougher to protect humanity, he asserted. "There is an atmosphere of conflict going on across the world amid the war between Israel and Iran as well as Russia and Ukraine. The situation is such that there is possibility of a World War taking place anytime in the backdrop of these two ongoing wars," Mr. Gadkari said. Mr. Gadkari said warfare dimensions have changed due to advanced technology, with increasing use of missiles and drones, which was reducing the relevance of tanks and other kind of aircraft. "Amid all this, it has become difficult to protect humanity. Often, missiles are fired on civilian settlements. This has created a serious pro`blem and there is need to discuss all these issues at a global level," the senior BJP leader said. "It won't be right to say so but (fact is) all this is slowly leading to destruction. Authoritarianism and dictatorship (adhikarwadi-hukumshahi) of the superpowers is making coordination, harmony and love vanish," he opined.
