Those trying to terrorise people won't be spared: Andhra Dy CM Pawan Kalyan
VIJAYAWADA: Making it clear that the NDA government under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will not tolerate any anti-social activities, and deal sternly with any attempt to disturb law and order in the State, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has asserted that they will not be cowed down by threatening statements using movie dialogues.
He felt that there was no change in their (YSRCP) rowdyism and anarchist approach even after losing power.
'Those hitting streets, holding placards with provocative movie dialogues should be cautious. Such dialogues are good to say in cinema. I also came from the film field. But it will not work in the real life. We will deal firmly with such trouble mongers. Any deterioration of law and order will not be tolerated,' he said, while addressing 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' (First Step Towards Good Governance) behind the State Secretariat on Monday.
'Though this venue is not the right platform to say so, it is loud and clear that this government will not spare those trying to terrorise people. We are here after facing several hardships. My appeal to officials is to make sure to implement the law strictly,' he said, adding that the coalition government is good, but not weak.
While highlighting the successful implementation of various welfare schemes and development programmes in the last one year, and the initiatives taken in his Panchayat Raj and Rural Development portfolios, Pawan Kalyan urged the officials right from the constituency level to the State level to make sure the implementation of good governance particularly with regard to law and order and corruption-free policies.
Mentioning that some people are of the opinion that the YSRCP may form the government in the next elections, he said such a situation will not arise, and he is confident that the coalition will be in power for at least 15 to 20 years, and no one can break the alliance.
'That (YSRCP) government is not going to form, and will not come. Why I am telling you this is I want to give you confidence. I want to empower you. The coalition will be in power for at least 15 to 20 years to make the State Viksit AP as part of Viksit Bharat. Myself or any others are not in a position to break the alliance,' he maintained.

Closed since 2021, British era school in Nellore to reopen on July 6
Tirupati: IT and HRD minister Nara Lokesh will re-open the famous British era VR school in Nellore on July 6. The 150-year-old school was shut down in 2021 during the erstwhile YSRCP regime. Municipal administration minister Ponguru Narayana, who studied at the school and also started his teaching career from the same institution, vowed to revive it if NDA formed the govt in Andhra Pradesh. The minister kept his promise and put all efforts to revive the school after NDA won and formed the govt. With Nagarjuna Construction Company extending a financial assistance of Rs 15 crore under its CSR activities, the school campus has undergone a complete revamp in the last few months. With international standard classroom infrastructure and amenities in place, VR school opened for admissions recently and close to 1,000 students from economically underprivileged sections of the society were provided admissions for this academic year. Narayana said Lokesh will formally re-open the school on July 6.

Waqf law protest likely to draw large crowd today
1 2 Patna: Patna is set to witness a major mobilisation on Sunday as Muslims from across the country are expected to gather at Gandhi Maidan to voice strong opposition to the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The event, titled 'Waqf bachao, dastoor bachao conference', is being organised by Imarat-e-Shariah, which operates in Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. The newly enacted waqf law by the NDA-led central govt is currently under legal scrutiny in the Supreme Court. Critics argue it undermines religious autonomy, infringes upon fundamental rights and violates established legal principles and Supreme Court judgments. "The aim of the conference is to raise a united and dignified voice against the recently enacted Waqf Act, 2025, which is widely seen as trampling upon the Islamic principles of waqf," said a press note issued by the organisers. Fazle Rahma Rahmani, media convener of Imarat-e-Shariah, said, "We cannot give an exact number, but the mobilisation teams have estimated a turnout of around 10 lakh. People are coming not because of prominent personalities, but to register their absolute rejection of the Act." He added that the headquarters of the Imarat-e-Shariah at Phulwarisharif, Patna, is coordinating the effort. "Maulana Ahmad Wali Faisal Rahmani is the chief organiser. Separate mobilisation teams were formed for Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha," he added. Participants began arriving in Patna from Saturday morning. Arrangements have been made for their accommodation in mosques, dharmashalas and community halls across the city. Volunteers will assist with crowd movement and logistics throughout Sunday. "The conference represents a peaceful, democratic and constitutional expression of the community's collective will to demand the rollback of the draconian legislation," the organisers said, adding that the event also carries significant political messaging.
