Angry families confront officials at Sigachi blast site, demand faster debris clearance
SANGAREDDY: The atmosphere at the factory turned tense on Wednesday as relatives demanded clear information about their loved ones. When AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud and Health Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha visited the site, they were confronted by families who blocked their vehicles and sought answers about the missing. Rajanarsimha stepped out to reassure the crowd, urging patience as debris removal continued. However, frustration mounted again later in the day, with some workers threatening to clear the rubble themselves. 'What are you doing for the past three days? How can you fail to remove debris even after using JCBs?' one of them asked. Industry vice-chairman Chidambaranathan assured that required assistance would be extended to the victims and their families. Likewise, Natarajan, Mahesh and Rajanarsimha said the government would provide support to victims.

Telangana Dy CM Bhatti urges Congress workers to make Rythu Bharosa fete a success
HYDERABAD: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Monday called upon Congress workers to participate in large numbers in celebrations being organised to mark the successful disbursement of Rythu Bharosa money to farmers in just nine days. He was addressing them at a meeting chaired by TPCC chief B Mahesh Kumar Goud and AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan at Gandhi Bhavan. He said: 'Under our government, Rythu Bharosa is being paid to all cultivable lands without any discrimination. The disbursement of Rythu Bharosa was completed in just nine days, which is a record in the history of the state.' Gandhi Bhavan, on Monday, buzzed with key meetings such as the TPCC Delimitation Committee convened under the chairmanship of Ch Vamshi Chand Reddy, followed by a meeting of the Samvidhan Bachao Programme Committee chaired by Dr Vinay, AICC Telangana in-charge, and attended by AICC secretaries. However, there were some jarring notes. Tensions briefly flared as members of the Golla-Kuruma community staged a protest in front of Gandhi Bhavan. Chanting slogans, they demanded immediate intervention by the TPCC leadership alleging that no action was being taken to address their long-standing issues. They wanted the chief minister to respond. Meenakshi Natarajan, while addressing party functionaries, emphasized the importance of the 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' campaigns to raise public awareness about constitutional values and welfare schemes. She called on leaders — both senior and junior — to work in close coordination without hierarchy and ensure the government's programmes reach the grassroots effectively. On Tuesday, Gandhi Bhavan will host meetings of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), Advisory Committee, and Disciplinary Committee, which will be attended by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Cabinet ministers, and senior Congress leaders.

Warangal Congress infighting escalates: MLAs, MLCs seek action against minister Konda Surekha for ‘unilateral decisions'; urge AICC to take disciplinary action
HYDERABAD: Congress leaders from erstwhile Warangal, including some MLAs, MLCs, and senior party leaders, met AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan on Sunday and lodged a complaint against minister Konda Surekha and her husband, former MLC Konda Murali. They alleged that the couple was acting unilaterally, not cooperating with other party leaders, and sidelining them in decisions. The leaders urged Meenakshi to take disciplinary action. This move comes shortly after followers of Konda Surekha had filed complaints against these leaders with TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, highlighting a widening rift between factions in the district. Tensions escalated recently after Murali made remarks targeting turncoat MLAs. The Congress MLAs also objected to unilateral decisions taken by Surekha, regarding Bonalu and Ashadam Jatara at Bhadrakali temple in Warangal. They opposed the proposed animal sacrifices, claiming such practices go against the temple's traditions. The minister dismissed the allegations as baseless but went on to postpone the Bonalu celebrations scheduled for Sunday. Meanwhile, AICC leaders have assured both groups that the matter will be looked into impartially. TPCC has sought a detailed report from local leaders in Warangal, following which the party will take a call, sources said.
