“Telangana BJP Chief Kishan Reddy Criticizes BRS for Association with ‘Anti-Women’ AIMIM”:

Telangana BJP President G. Kishan Reddy has questioned the alliance between the ruling BRS party and AIMIM, a party that voted against the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament.

He highlighted that the issue of women’s reservation has been a long-standing topic of discussion in the country, yet no party or leader has been able to bring it to a conclusive resolution.

Reddy praised Prime Minister Modi for his decisive actions on various pending issues over the last nine years, including taxation, Article 370, the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute, and the construction of toilets for underprivileged individuals.

He mentioned that the Women’s Reservation Bill, which allocates one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha, state legislative assemblies, and the Delhi assembly for women, was passed in the new Parliament building as per the Central government’s decision. Reddy expressed disappointment that the Hyderabad-based AIMIM was the sole party to vote against this bill in Parliament.

Referring to AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi as CM K Chandrasekhar Rao’s mentor, Reddy called on Rao to explain to the public how his party (BRS) could maintain a friendly relationship with AIMIM, a party that opposes women’s rights.

Reddy also noted that three Congress MPs from Telangana did not participate in the vote on the bill, expressing shame that AIMIM and three Congress MPs hail from the state.

In response, Congress Lok Sabha member Komatireddy Venkat Reddy criticized Kishan Reddy, accusing him of trying to tarnish the reputation of the Congress. Venkat Reddy clarified that the Congress fully supported women’s reservation and pointed out that many BJP MPs were also absent from Parliament during the vote. He attributed the absence of Congress MPs to traffic delays.

Modi to Kick Off BJP Campaign in Bhopal:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to officially commence the BJP’s campaign for the year-end Madhya Pradesh assembly elections by addressing a mega assembly of party workers in Bhopal on Monday.

During the event, PM Modi will administer the ‘Vijay Sankalp’ (oath of victory) to party workers in preparation for the upcoming assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, as announced by Narendra Singh Tomar, the state election management committee convener and Union minister.

This significant gathering, referred to as the Karyakarta Mahakumbh, will mark the culmination of the party’s mass outreach campaign, known as the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatras,’ which was initiated in the state on September 3. The event is expected to bring together around ten lakh BJP workers from across the state at the expansive Jamboree Ground in Bhopal.

The tradition of organizing such a large assembly of party workers in Bhopal before the commencement of campaign activities for every assembly election is a longstanding practice within the party.

Following this mega event, party workers and leaders will disperse across the state to campaign for the BJP in preparation for the year-end assembly elections. During the Karyakarta Mahakumbh, the Prime Minister is anticipated to provide valuable guidance on achieving electoral victory to booth-level workers, grassroots activists, and local party leaders.

Significantly, this workers’ gathering coincides with the birth anniversary of BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya.

According to Vishnu Dutt Sharma, the state BJP president, the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatras’ have covered an extensive distance of 10,880 km, reaching 223 out of 230 assembly constituencies in the state within 21 days.

Preparations for the event were inspected by several prominent BJP leaders, including BJP national general secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Shiv Prakash, Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav, Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and state party chief Vishnu Dutt Sharma.

Bandi Alleges KCR Used Donations for Ganesh Pandals to Attract Voters

Bandi Alleges KCR Used Donations for Ganesh Pandals to Attract Voters:

BJP’s National General Secretary and Karimnagar MP, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, accused Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) of employing various tactics to secure votes in upcoming elections. Sanjay Kumar alleged that KCR’s party had contributed substantial amounts of money to establish Ganesh pandals in each assembly constituency and was using Ganesh Chaturthi festivities for political gains. He made these claims during a media interaction after visiting Ganesh pandals in different Karimnagar city neighborhoods.

The MP further accused KCR of allegedly distributing sums ranging from Rs 3,000 to Rs 10,000 per vote during past by-elections in the state, criticizing KCR’s tenure as ten years of mismanagement and political maneuvering, devoid of significant achievements for the people.

Sanjay Kumar condemned KCR for suspending Group-I examinations, impacting the lives of numerous students, and expressed concerns about the state’s inability to conduct 10th and intermediate examinations effectively. He underscored the adverse consequences of KCR’s rule on youth, highlighting the tragic suicide of a student named Murali Mudiraj at the university.

The BJP MP called for the state government to grant Rs 1 lakh to each Group-I examination candidate and requested age relaxation for future exam attempts to enable all unemployed youth to participate. He also advocated for financial support of Rs 3,116 for every unemployed individual until they secure employment.

Jana Sena and Telugu Desam to Collaborate Closely: A Unified Effort:

Nara Brahmani, the spouse of Telugu Desam General Secretary Nara Lokesh, emphasized on Sunday the need for Jana Sena and Telugu Desam to collaborate closely, akin to a fraternal bond, in order to collectively remove the YSRC from power.

During their meeting with Brahmani in Rajamahendravaram, Jana Sena leaders such as Kandula Durgesh, East Godavari president, Tummala Babu, in charge of Peddapuram, Varupula Tammayya, and others expressed their solidarity with the family of the detained TD chief, Chandrababu Naidu.

In attendance at the meeting were Jana Sena leaders like Mootha Sashidhar, Thota Sudhir, Pithani Balakrishna, Tangella Udaya Srinivas, Polisetty Chandrasekhar, Ganta Rani, Bathula Balaramakrishna, Vasireddy Siva, Marreddy Srinivas, and others.

Mobile Internet Services Resume in Manipur

Mobile Internet Services Resume in Manipur:

The Manipur government has called for the termination of the free movement agreement with Myanmar, which enables residents living near the India-Myanmar border to travel up to 16 km into each other’s territory without documentation.

This move, with potential international implications, comes as mobile internet services, suspended since May 3 due to ethnic violence, are set to be reinstated on Saturday. Manipur’s Chief Minister, N Biren Singh, explained that the suspension aimed to curb the spread of fake news and hate speech during the unrest. Internet services have been resumed there.

He emphasized that the ongoing situation is a consequence of previous governments’ poorly planned policies, rather than a recent decision. Singh also noted that his government has urged the Union Home Ministry to cancel the free movement agreement and highlighted that security forces were not effectively guarding the border, often stationed 14-15 km within Indian territory instead of at the zero point.

Manipur’s Chief Minister, N Biren Singh, has disclosed that the Union Home Ministry is actively implementing measures to secure 60 km of the international border in Manipur. He emphasized his government’s commitment to addressing the issue of “illegal immigrants” and highlighted the importance of completely fencing the India-Myanmar border. Singh also confirmed the ongoing collection of biometric data from “illegal” immigrants in the state and Internet sericies too.

Furthermore, the chief minister criticized the prevalence of strikes (bandh culture) and incidents involving widespread verbal abuse directed at MLAs, ministers, and police officials. He expressed concern about these issues diverting people from genuine concerns and generating conflicts among residents.

Singh reported improvements in the security situation over the past two months, with a reduction in the frequency of firing incidents thanks to heightened security force presence in vulnerable areas.

He emphasized the rising problem of drug and substance abuse among the state’s youth and reiterated his government’s commitment to the ‘war on drugs’ initiated in 2018. Singh emphasized the need to intensify efforts to eradicate poppy plantations in the hills, facilitated by a committee established in collaboration with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and Narcotics & Affairs of Border (NAB). This committee will employ Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones for poppy plantation surveillance and eradication.

The chief minister also noted the resettlement of people from Torbung, Serou, and Koutruk, who were displaced due to ethnic violence, and the completion of prefabricated house construction in various locations.

Singh highlighted the surge in extortion, kidnappings, and other crimes committed by individuals posing as police officers and stressed that his government has initiated several measures to establish the rule of law in Churachandpur, Kangpokpi, Moreh, and Imphal.

BJP to Win Big: Shivraj Chouhan:

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan asserted on Friday that the BJP would secure a historic mandate in the year-end assembly polls, ensuring their continued rule in the state.

He attributed his confidence to the overwhelming response received during the ongoing ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra,’ a large-scale outreach initiative initiated by the Bharatiya Janata Party on September 3, which has garnered tremendous enthusiasm among the people across the state.

Mr. Chouhan declared, while addressing party workers here, that the Jan Ashirwad Yatra is generating an unparalleled and enthusiastic response from the people across the state. He added that he could sense the sentiments of the people during the yatra, leading him to assert confidently that it would result in the party’s most significant victory in the upcoming state assembly elections.

The chief minister remarked that the yatra received acclaim from the people wherever it traversed, and he had never witnessed such fervor among the people for the party’s yatra before.

BJP initiated five yatras across the state, which began on September 3 and are set to converge in a grand event on September 25, coinciding with the birth anniversary of BJP ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a Bharatiya Janata Party rally on that day.

The BJP’s mass outreach program has already reached approximately two crore people in the state, according to a party spokesperson.

Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, leading one of the yatras in Budhni, which is currently represented by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, asserted on Friday that Bharatiya Janata Party would secure a two-thirds majority in the upcoming Madhya Pradesh assembly elections. He noted that in previous assembly elections, BJP only launched one yatra before the polls in the state, but this time, they opted for five yatras to ensure extensive coverage of the state’s population.

In response, the opposition Congress dismissed the claims made by the two senior BJP leaders, stating that they were indulging in wishful thinking. Congress spokesperson K K Mishra confidently stated that Congress would secure a majority in the upcoming state assembly elections.
