Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders have made an appeal to the Director General of Police, K.V. Rajendranath Reddy, seeking sufficient security measures and a safe passage for their party’s national general secretary, N. Lokesh, during the Yuvagalam Padayatra. They have also called for action to be taken against police officers who displayed biased behavior and failed to control supporters of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP).

A delegation of Telugu Desam leaders, consisting of Varla Ramaiah, Nakka Ananda Babu, Bonda Uma Maheswara Rao, Parchuri Ashok Babu, and Panchumarthi Anuradha, visited the DGP’s office on Wednesday and submitted their formal request.

In their representation, they claimed that their party leader initiated the Yuvagalam Padayatra on January 27, commencing from the Kuppam Assembly segment and progressing to the West Godavari district.

They further asserted that instead of preventing these attacks, the police disrupted the Telugu Desam supporters by apprehending some TD activists from their camp during midnight hours.

Revanth Urges KCR to Ensure Timely Payment for Contract Employees and Teachers:

Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had made assurances of granting permanent employment to contract employees and junior lecturers who had played pivotal roles in the statehood movement. These promises were even outlined in the party’s 2014 manifesto. However, TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy pointed out that these promises have gone unfulfilled, and contract employees and lecturers are also facing issues with timely payment.

In an open letter addressed to Rao, Reddy lamented that the situation has not improved since the formation of Telangana. Many individuals are struggling to receive their wages promptly and are resorting to desperate measures. For instance, contract lecturers, whose services were regularized in May, have yet to be paid for their work in April. Moreover, degree contract lecturers in various districts await payment for their pending work, with no government response to their grievances. This situation has forced many to take out loans to cover their daily expenses.

Reddy questioned whether this government truly prioritizes the welfare of its employees. He emphasized the importance of educators in shaping the country’s future and criticized the failure to compensate them adequately. The Congress party pledged its support to contract lecturers and committed to formulating an action plan to address their concerns.

Tamil Nadu CM Stalin’s Tweet About India:

Chief Minister M K Stalin has asserted that the BJP’s desire to replace ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’ stems from their apprehension of the term ‘India,’ as it underscores the strength of unity within the opposition.

He conveyed this message on the social media platform X, emphasizing that the BJP had pledged to revolutionize India, yet all they delivered was a change in nomenclature after nine years.

Sehwag Urges BCCI: Change Indian Players’ Jersey Name to ‘Bharat:

Amidst the ongoing discussions about the government’s potential renaming of the country from India to Bharat, a move that has sparked controversy, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has expressed his support for the name change.

In a social media message, the renowned cricketer has called upon the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to alter the name on the jerseys of Indian cricketers taking part in the upcoming ICC World Cup. “I have always believed that a name should instill pride in us. We are Bhartiyas.

India is a name bestowed by the British, and it is high time we officially revert to our original name, ‘Bharat,'” Sehwag conveyed in the post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter). Sehwag further emphasized his point by highlighting instances of other nations embracing their original names.

He mentioned that during the 1996 World Cup, the Netherlands participated as Bharat, while in 2003 when India played against them, they represented themselves as the Netherlands and have continued to do so.

Amit Shah Expresses Confidence in BJP’s Re-election in MP with Over 150 Seats:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his confidence on Tuesday that the BJP would secure more than 150 seats and retain power in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for the end of the year.

Launching the BJP’s ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra,’ a large-scale mass-contact program, in Madhya Pradesh’s Mahakaushal region starting from Mandla, Shah stated that the campaign aims to seek the blessings of the people for the government’s development efforts in the state in preparation for the upcoming assembly polls.

Five such yatras, or journeys, were initiated from five different locations in the state in anticipation of the November assembly elections. All five yatras will conclude in Bhopal on September 25, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address party workers.

Amit Shah emphasized that the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ would serve as the foundation for the BJP to secure over 150 out of the total 230 assembly seats in the state.

He mentioned that Madhya Pradesh had historically been considered a ‘BIMARU’ (laggard) state due to the previous Congress regime. However, the BJP, particularly under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has transformed the state into an ‘unmatched’ one over the past four decades, Shah added. He commended Chouhan for his efforts in tribal development and cited Madhya Pradesh as the first state to implement the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act in 1996.

Amit Shah criticized Congress veterans Digvijay Singh and Kamal Nath, accusing them of neglecting the state when they held the position of Chief Minister in Madhya Pradesh. He highlighted the discontinuation of 53 Central welfare schemes during Kamal Nath’s tenure in 2018.

Shah also criticized the Congress for its minority appeasement policy, noting the change in approach since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. He emphasized the Modi government’s focus on the welfare of tribals, Dalits, the poor, and backward classes who have rights to the country’s natural resources.
