Promises will be fulfilled in phased manner: Narayana
As part of ongoing State government's prestigious 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' programme, the M&U Minister visited 46 & 50 divisions in Nellore city on Saturday.
On the occasion, the Minister detailed the welfare schemes of the coliation government to the people and appealed to them to bless Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu for going ahead with more developmental activities in coming days.
Narayana pointed out that the State exchequer was totally emptied due to the mindless decisions adopted by the previous YSRCP government.
' During his five year tenure, former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy always concentrated about how to loot the public money instead of thinking about the welfare of State, ' he alleged.
Due to the misrule of previous regime, the coalition government was now grappling with financial crisis, he said.
Though there was fund crunch, the coalition government has been fulfilling all promises, the Minister pointed out. Measures are being taken to soon implement 'Annadatha Sukheebhava' scheme.
Narayana said that people felt happy and safe during the coalition government's rule during the last one year. He said the State government was ensuring that all eligible derive benefit from the welfare schemes.
Former municipal chairman Tallapaka Anuradha, former ZPTC Vijetha Reddy and others were present.

4 attempts made to kill my son Tejashwi: Rabri
1 2 Patna: Former Bihar CM Rabri Devi made a sensational revelation on Friday, alleging that there were four attempts made in the past to "assassinate" her son, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav , and blamed these attempts on the "BJP-JD(U) people". Tejashwi, leader of the opposition in the state assembly, is considered the opposition INDIA bloc's CM face, although a formal announcement has not been made so far. "Tejashwi Yadav ko toh char baar marne ke koshish hua tha rasta mein…Yahan bhi marne ke koshis ho raha hai (There have been four attempts in the past to kill him on the way. Conspiracies are still being hatched to eliminate him in Patna)," Rabri told reporters in the portico of the Bihar legislative council. She added that Tejashwi faces serious threats to his life and they are very much aware of who is behind the conspiracies. "But none can silence the voice of the people," she said. Rabri levelled these allegations against her political rivals a day after the Bihar legislative assembly plunged into pandemonium during which opposition and ruling party members ran menacingly towards each other and almost came to blows, but this was averted due to timely intervention by the security forces. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Some RJD members alleged that during this scuffle-like situation, a BJP member uprooted the microphone from the table and ran menacingly towards Tejashwi with the intention to assault him, a charge denied by the NDA leaders. RJD sources said Rabri was compelled to raise the security issue of her son in light of some recent incidents where Tejashwi's life appeared to be "in danger". On July 10, a speeding car allegedly tried to enter his cavalcade on J P Ganga Path in Patna, prompting the police to arrest the driver. On June 29, Tejashwi narrowly escaped injury as a drone crashed into the podium while he was addressing the "Waqf Bachao, Samvidhan Bachao Sammelan" at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. He narrowly escaped again on June 7, when a speeding truck hit two vehicles of his convoy, injuring three security personnel in Vaishali district. Tejashwi himself said a firing incident took place outside his official residence at 1, Polo Road, which is considered a VIP area, last month.

CPI(M) says U.S. protectionism could reduce employment prospects of Kerala youth
Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State committee on Friday flagged the perils posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's protectionist policies to software job aspirants from Kerala. CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan told a press conference in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday that Mr. Trump had warned Google, Meta and Microsoft, among other global software and computing majors, against employing Indian engineers and technicians. Mr. Govindan stated that the 'chest-thumping, extreme nationalists' within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had not dared to make even the slightest whimper of protest against the imperialist and isolationist Trump administration. 'The Union government was bereft of national character, despite its tall claims. It crumbled under U.S. pressure,' he added. Mr. Govindan said India's free trade agreement with the United Kingdom was a brazen violation of anti-dumping laws, and the State's agricultural sector would suffer as a consequence. Mr. Govindan termed the decision of the Vice-Chancellors of certain State-funded universities to address a 'knowledge meet' chaired by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat a disgrace to Kerala. He noted that the Union government-appointed Governor, who was also the Chancellor of State-funded universities, had appointed RSS apparatchiks as Vice-Chancellors to pursue the Sangh Parivar's saffronisation agenda in the higher education sector. He said the Kerala government had approached the Supreme Court to restrict the Chancellor's 'constitutional overreach' in the higher education sector. He said Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar had rejected the names proposed by the government and appointed RSS supporters to the Syndicate of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit. Mr. Govindan said CPI(M) would legally and politically oppose the decision. VS memorial meeting The CPI(M) will organise a condolence meeting for the late Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan in Thiruvananthapuram on August 1. Various district committees would organise commemorative meetings honouring the departed leader's 'revolutionary and democratic ethos' between August 1 and 10. Mr. Govindan said Opposition leaders backed by the right-wing corporate media often vilified CPI(M) leaders during their lifetime, only to lionise their memories after death. He cautioned party workers to exercise vigilance against a political conspiracy to exploit the memory of late leaders against the CPI(M), often by cherry-picking statements and episodes from their political lives.
