Government urged to complete construction of Ambedkar Knowledge Center in Vizianagaram
On Wednesday the members submitted a representation to municipal authorities expressing concern over the inordinate construction delays. Association President Pandranki Venkataramana said: 'The project, which began nearly one-and-a-half years ago with an estimated cost of ₹1.55 crore holds deep significance for lakhs of students and followers of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.'
He alleged that a few YSRCP corporators have been disrupting the stage-2 works despite ₹39.90 lakh being sanctioned for the completion of the G-plus structure. He emphasised that its early construction would help Ambedkarites hold meetings, students pursue higher education and prepare for competitive examiniations in a good environment.

YSRCP rejects commission report on Tirupati stampede, demands CBI inquiry
The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party ( YSRCP ) rejected the judicial commission report on the Tirupati stampede incident, calling it "biased and predetermined", and demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the Tirupati stampede incident that claimed six lives. "The state government had appointed a one-man Judicial Commission headed by retired Justice Satya Narayana Murthy to investigate the Tirupati stampede incident that occurred during Vaikunta Ekadasi . The Commission has submitted its report, and the cabinet has approved it," YSRCP legal cell president Manohar Reddy said in a statement.

"The report, which was accepted by the state cabinet, has deliberately left out key TTD officials, top police officers, and senior revenue officials, instead placing the blame on a few individuals. This inquiry appears to be a mere eyewash and sets a dangerous precedent," Reddy added. Live Events Demanding a CBI inquiry , the YSRCP leader said that "selective targeting" would not deliver justice. "The coalition government has scrapped the extended darshan system introduced by the previous YSRCP government and failed to make proper arrangements for the devotees. We demand a CBI inquiry so that the truth comes out and real accountability is established. Selective targeting will not deliver justice to the six lives lost and the 29 devotees who were injured," Reddy said. He further accused the N Chandrababu Naidu government of "negligence." "This tragic incident is a direct result of the negligence of the present government. On the day before the incident, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu was on a tour in the area, during which a large number of police officers and security personnel were deployed for his protection, neglecting the safety of thousands of devotees," Reddy added while reiterating the demand for a CBI inquiry so that "justice is served."

AP HC seeks Guntur court order copy in plea challenging withdrawal of case against Pawan Kalyan
VIJAYAWADA: The High Court on Friday directed petitioners to submit a certified copy of the Guntur court order that permitted the withdrawal of a defamation case against Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. Justice Dr Y Lakshmana Rao adjourned the hearing for two weeks. The case stems from Pawan Kalyan's remarks during the 2023 Vaarahi Yatra in Eluru, where he alleged that a large number of girls were going missing due to the involvement of volunteers. The then YSRCP government instructed the Public Prosecutor to file a criminal case against Pawan Kalyan in the Guntur court. After the coalition government took office, the Public Prosecutor moved to withdraw the case. On November 18, 2024, the Guntur court allowed the withdrawal. Challenging the withdrawal, a volunteer named K Sarala and another woman filed a criminal revision petition in the High Court. During hearing, the High Court directed the petitioners to produce a certified copy of the Guntur court's withdrawal order before the revision petition could proceed.

68 tanks to be rejuvenated in 3 constituencies
Krishnagiri (Kurnool district): A major irrigation initiative aimed at transforming Rayalaseema into a green belt was formally launched in Kurnool district. The project, considered the brainchild of former minister K E Krishnamurthy, seeks to fill 68 village tanks across Dhone, Pattikonda and Alur Assembly constituencies with water from the Handri-Neeva project. The inauguration ceremony was held at Lakkasagaram village in Krishnagiri mandal on Friday, where Labour Minister Vasamsetty Subhash, along with MLAs, Kotla Jaya Surya Prakash Reddy and K E Shyam Kumar, switched on motors to begin the water release into the tanks. Speaking on the occasion, Minister Subhash stated that the project was originally initiated in 2018–19 under the leadership of former deputy chief minister K E Krishnamurthy. With an allocation of Rs 280 crore, around 70% of the work was completed by 2023–24. He criticised the previous YSRCP government for neglecting the initiative, accusing it of focusing more on corruption and political survival rather than on farmers' welfare and rural development. The Minister highlighted various developmental works taken up in the Pattikonda constituency, including the construction of CC roads and drainage systems worth Rs 15 crore, and the modernisation of an SC hostel at a cost of Rs 3.5 crore. He pointed out that unlike the previous administration, which allegedly mismanaged welfare schemes like Amma Vodi, the current coalition government was delivering on all its Super Six promises. Under the new administration, welfare benefits were being distributed fairly, ensuring every eligible household receives support. Taking a strong dig at the YSRCP, the Minister accused its leadership of attempting to derail investments worth Rs 6 lakh crore into Andhra Pradesh by circulating misleading messages through tools like the 'Bhaskar' software. He stated that the previous government failed to present any meaningful development in five years and was instead focused on destructive politics. Referring to their electoral downfall — winning only 11 seats out of 175 — the Minister remarked that the people have decisively rejected their arrogance. He concluded by expressing hope that the opposition would recover from its political stupor and return to serving the public with sincerity.
