Jagan's plan to visit mango market sparks controversy
Tirupati: Tensions are running high between the NDA alliance and the YSRCP ahead of former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy 's scheduled visit to the Bangarupalyam mango market in Chittoor district on Wednesday. The visit comes amid a deepening crisis for mango farmers in the region, who are grappling with a bumper harvest and plummeting prices. The situation worsened after pulp processing units in the district refused to purchase Totapuri mangoes, citing unsold stock from previous seasons. In response, the state govt intervened with a market intervention scheme, offering a subsidy of 4 per kg to farmers. While on one hand the state govt maintains that it has sped up the process of mangoes procurement and everything is under control, the ground reality and the woes of the farmer has only worsened further. While the YSRCP leaders maintain that the former CM has scheduled his visit to Chittoor district to expose govt's failure leading to the crisis, the NDA parties have questioned the very timing of Jagan's visit to Chittoor district. State biodiversity board chairman Neelayapalem Vijay Kumar and TTD board member and BJP functionary G Bhanu Prakash Reddy questioned the rationale behind Jagan's visit to the mango market in Chittoor district when the mango season itself was drawing to an end in a couple of weeks. "When the YSRCP was in power and there was a slump in mango prices the mango farmers were in distress, Jagan did nothing to extend support to farmers", Neelayapalem added.

Utilising excess Godavari water beneficial for both Andhra, Telangana: CM Naidu
Srisailam , Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said that it would be beneficial for both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to utilise a few hundred TMC of excess Godavari river water, which otherwise drains wastefully into the sea. Utilising excess Godavari water beneficial for both Andhra, Telangana: CM Naidu Speaking at a public meeting in Nandyal district after offering 'jala harati' over the Krishna river and opening four radial gates of the Srisailam Project to release water downstream, Naidu stressed that using excess floodwaters would not harm anyone. "If Andhra Pradesh can use 200 TMC of water and Telangana 100 to 200 TMC, then both states will be prosperous. Here, I am using floodwaters—water draining into the sea, water that nobody uses. Telangana is upstream, and if they use it, there is no loss for anyone. I am telling you, this is good for everyone," said Naidu. The chief minister noted that up to 2,000 TMC of excess Godavari water drains into the Bay of Bengal every year. Wishing prosperity for both Telugu-speaking states, the TDP chief said he hopes to see the Telugu community emerge as the foremost in the world. He said the state is currently spending ₹3,890 crore on the Handri-Neeva canal, and that the Jeedipalli reservoir will receive water by July 15. Highlighting the need to interlink rivers, Naidu mentioned potential projects such as linking the Vamshadara with the Godavari at Polavaram, and Polavaram with Banakacherla. Stating that he understands the value of water, Naidu said he performed 'jala harati' to "avert future water scarcity". He added that the Srisailam reservoir, with a capacity of 215 TMC, is currently holding 200 TMC of water. Naidu also said that during the previous TDP government , ₹68,000 crore was spent on water projects, including ₹12,500 crore in the Rayalaseema region. Reiterating his welfare promises, the Chief Minister said free bus travel for women would be introduced from August 15. Financial assistance under the 'Annadata Sukhibhava' scheme, which offers ₹20,000 annually to farmers, would be deposited in July itself, he added. Earlier in the day, Naidu visited Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple at Srisailam in Nandyal district and offered prayers.

Telangana High Court reserves orders on Group-1 exam
HYDERABAD: Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao of the Telangana High Court has reserved orders on nine writ petitions filed by unsuccessful Group-1 aspirants, alleging serious irregularities in the Group-1 Main examination conducted by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TGPSC). Citing large-scale procedural violations and lack of transparency, the petitioners have sought a judicial probe into the selection process. Appearing for the petitioners, senior advocates G Vidya Sagar, K S Murthy, and B Rachna termed the exam process 'haphazard' and 'marred by massive illegalities'. Vidya Sagar argued that the TGPSC failed to adhere to mandatory statutory procedures by failing to notify each and every procedural aspect, such as rounds of evaluation, moderation methods, or re-evaluation, via a gazette notification. He argued that the TGPSC failed to disclose these critical processes, thereby compromising the transparency and fairness of the examination. Rachna raised concerns over issuance of two hall ticket numbers to individual candidates, causing confusion among those who qualified in the preliminary round. She also alleged that unqualified evaluators assessed the answer scripts written in Telugu, resulting in a low pass percentage of only 18%, in contrast to 30% among English medium candidates. The counsel also alleged that biometric verification was not properly implemented and questioned the TGPSC's claim that CCTV surveillance was centrally monitored, calling it a suspicious and unverified assertion. After hearing the arguments, Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao has reserved orders.
