Pulsus CEO urges government to establish aviation university, MRO facility, near Bhogapuram International airport
VIZIANAGARAM
Pulsus Group Chief Executive Officer, Gedela Srinubabu, on Sunday urged the Union and State governments to establish an Aviation University and a Maintenance-Repairs and Overhaul (MRO) facility adjacent to the upcoming international airport at Bhogapuram in Vizianagaram which is expected to be operational by June, 2026.
Addressing the media, he said: 'The proposed University and MRO would boost economic activity in Srikakulam-Vizianagaram-Visakhapatnam corridor within no time. North Andhra could witness $500 billion in economic activity over the next two decades if the government takes steps to quickly develop the region in tune with its Vision-2047 document approved by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.'
He added: 'In the backdrop of the recent plane accidents, the Union government has been prioritising aircraft maintenance. Establishing an MRO facility for planes at Bhogapuram would create thousands of jobs quickly. Skilled man-power will also be available with special training programmes. The establishment of an Aviation University will also pave the way for students in the region to pursue various courses related to aviation. '
Mr. Srinubabu also highlighted other development projects that could transform the region such as pharmaceutical hubs in Vizianagaram-Srikakulam, the construction of sea port at Mulapeta and a cargo airport in Palasa in Srikakulam district, would make North Andhra the best destination for investment. He added: 'The backward tag of the region would be a thing of the past, if the goals of Vision-2047 are achieved in a phased manner. Pulsus group which is involved in health informatics will join hands with the government to conduct training programmes aimed at building skilled manpower in the State.'

Probe Congress govt's 'graft' in Telangana: BRS leader KT Rama Rao to Union home minister Amit Shah
HYDERABAD: BRS working president and former minister KT Rama Rao on Sunday questioned Union home minister Amit Shah as to why the NDA govt at the Centre has not ordered an investigation into the alleged corruption by the Congress govt in Telangana , particularly when Shah claims the Revanthled administration has become an 'ATM' for Congress leaders. KTR issued a statement in response to Shah's remarks that the Congress govt is no different from the previous BRS govt in terms of corruption. 'Can you clarify to the people of Telangana what is preventing the central govt from launching an investigation into the corrupt practices of the Congress govt, like the CBI and ED?' he asked. 'Is there a response to the allegation that while the BJP is confronting the Congress in Delhi, it is forming alliances with them in Telangana, thereby indirectly supporting Revanth?' he added.

Union Minister Kishan Reddy challenges CM, ministers to debate on Centre's role in Telangana development
HYDERABAD: Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy on Sunday slammed Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's remarks against the Union government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling them 'baseless and politically motivated.' He urged the chief minister to follow the PM's development model instead of 'blaming the Centre for his own failures.' This comes after Revanth accused Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of prioritising Gujarat over other states. Addressing a press conference in Hyderabad, the BJP state president challenged Revanth and his Cabinet to a public debate on the Centre's contributions to Telangana. 'He is making allegations without understanding the system,' he said. On the Metro Rail Phase-II project, Kishan said the DPR was submitted just a week ago and is under review. A decision will follow after assessing feasibility. He also said clarity on the BJP's new state president would emerge by Tuesday and efforts were on for a unanimous choice. Accusing the Congress of making false promises and deflecting blame, he said, 'Congress is in power, not BJP. People are watching and will respond in the next Assembly elections.'

No talks with Maoists as long as they carry arms: Union Minister Amit Shah
HYDERABAD: Reiterating that the Union government was committed to ending Naxalism by March 31, 2026, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday urged Maoists to surrender and join the mainstream. He categorically stated that the Centre would not hold talks with those who continue to bear arms. 'Our policy is no talks with those who have arms in their hands. Give up arms and surrender. If you do not surrender, we have decided to end Naxalism by March 31, 2026. Should we not end the Naxalites who have killed adivasis and police personnel?' Shah said. Addressing the gathering after inaugurating the National Turmeric Board headquarters in Nizamabad, the Union home minister said that while he 'feared that the Congress might provide shelter to Maoists, there was no cause for concern as Narendra Modi was in power at the Centre'. 'The Congress is asking for talks with Maoists. Our government's policy is clear — no talks with those who hold weapons. Surrender and join the mainstream,' he said. Shah noted that in the Northeast, 10,000 individuals had surrendered and joined the mainstream, with some contesting elections at district and Assembly levels. 'In the last one-and-a-half years, around 2,000 Maoists surrendered,' he added. 'From Telangana's soil, I want to ask those who speak of protecting Naxals: What answer will you give to the families of police personnel and adivasis who lost their lives in Naxal violence? Naxals have obstructed development in adivasi areas for decades. What is your answer?' he asked. Shah accused the BRS of indulging in massive corruption during its 10-year rule. He alleged irregularities in Dharani, Kaleshwaram, Singareni and other projects, and questioned whether Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy initiated even one case against those involved. Shah claimed that the family of former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao used Telangana as an 'ATM' and alleged that the state has now become an 'ATM for the Delhi Congress'.
