Priyanka Promises Caste Census and Praises Baghel for Bastar Development:

AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, during an event in Kanker, Bastar, pledged to conduct a caste census in Chhattisgarh if the Congress retained power in the upcoming state assembly elections. She also commended Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel for fostering economic development in rural Chhattisgarh, particularly in the insurgency-affected Bastar region.

Priyanka Gandhi highlighted the findings of a caste census in Bihar, revealing that 84 percent of the population belonged to OBC, SC, and ST categories. However, she noted that these groups were not adequately represented in high-ranking positions within the Bihar administration. She emphasized the importance of conducting a similar caste census in Chhattisgarh to ensure that these communities receive their rightful representation and benefits.

The Congress leader praised Baghel’s efforts in promoting rural economic growth in the state. She mentioned initiatives such as the waiver of farmers’ crop loans and various state government schemes that had put money directly into the pockets of farmers.

Priyanka Gandhi also noted the transformation of Bastar from a region plagued by Leftwing insurgency to a thriving tourist destination. She advocated for the Chhattisgarh model of development to be replicated in other states.

Critiquing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she questioned why the Centre procured paddy from Chhattisgarh but not from Uttar Pradesh, suggesting selective policies. She accused Modi of prioritizing industrialists’ interests over the welfare of the poor and government employees.

Regarding the construction of a new parliament building, Priyanka Gandhi questioned the necessity of spending Rs 20,000 crore when the existing one was in good condition. She suggested that the new construction was driven by a desire to enhance Modi’s prestige.

Home Minister Amit Shah Aims to Eradicate Left Wing Extremism Within Two Years:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated on Friday that Left Wing Extremism (LWE) will be completely eradicated from the country within two years. He emphasized the importance of maintaining constant surveillance in areas that have been cleared of Naxals to prevent the problem from resurfacing. Shah chaired a meeting to assess the security situation in LWE-affected states and underscored that the Modi government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against LWE since 2014. As a result, 2022 witnessed the lowest levels of LWE violence and deaths in four decades.

The review meeting was attended by the chief ministers of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Jharkhand, among others. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde highlighted the positive changes occurring in Naxal-affected areas due to development initiatives. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed that LWE activities were limited to a few pockets in the state.

Amit Shah emphasized the need for collaborative efforts among affected states to dismantle the financial support network of LWE. He also stressed the importance of preventing Naxals from taking shelter in other states once the problem is eliminated in one area.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, progress has been made in curtailing LWE, with a decline in violence, deaths, and security force casualties. The government has also increased ex-gratia payments to victims of LWE violence and focused on development in affected regions, including infrastructure, telecommunications, financial inclusion, and education.

Amit Shah expressed that the fight against LWE is reaching a decisive phase, with the establishment of new Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) camps in vacuum areas and a significant reduction in violence. The government is committed to eliminating LWE and ensuring the security and development of affected regions.

The initiative to eradicate LWE in Telangana was inspired by a study conducted in Tamil Nadu, which served as a successful model for the program. By accelerating development and enhancing security, the government aims to create a safer and more prosperous environment in LWE-affected states.

Telangana Chief Minister Launches Breakfast Scheme for 23 Lakh Students:

Led by IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao, the inauguration of the Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme for government schools took place on Friday. This initiative will later be extended to encompass all state-run schools for students in Classes 1 to 10 following the Dasara vacation.

The scheme was officially launched at the Zilla Parishad High School in Raviryala, Rangareddy district, with the presence of Education Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy, Patnam Mahender Reddy, Ministers T. Harish Rao, Simultaneous launches occurred in select schools spanning all 119 constituencies. After the launch event, the ministers joined the students in partaking in the breakfast.

During the inauguration at a government high school in West Marredpally, Hyderabad, IT Minister Rama Rao highlighted that this groundbreaking initiative would positively impact approximately 23 lakh students. He emphasized the importance of upholding high-quality food standards and conducting regular quality checks to ensure that students receive nutritious and appetizing meals.

Finance Minister T. Harish Rao expressed that this move would transform school education by ensuring that students have access to nourishing meals, enabling them to concentrate on their studies. He underscored its particular significance for children from low-income backgrounds, as it alleviates the concern of sending their children to school on an empty stomach.

Education Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy pointed out that the scheme not only guarantees students’ daily access to nutritious meals but also addresses the issue of school dropouts. She shared a concerning statistic, revealing that only two out of every ten students had breakfast before coming to school. She extended gratitude to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao for his understanding of these students’ challenges.

In addition to this, the Telangana government decided to expand the initiative to include students in Classes 9 and 10, going beyond the conventional mid-day meal program that typically caters to students up to Class 8. The breakfast menu offers two options, featuring a variety of dishes such as idli, pongal, poori, upma, vegetable pulao, and wheat rawa upma, accompanied by sambar and chutney.

This comprehensive scheme will encompass 23 lakh students across nearly 28,000 schools, encompassing aided and model institutions and madrasas under the education department’s purview. The Akshaya Patra Foundation will manage the breakfast program in urban areas, while self-help groups will oversee it in rural areas. The scheme is expected to incur an annual cost of approximately Rs 400 crore.

The decision to introduce the CM Breakfast Scheme in Telangana was informed by a study conducted by a team of officials who visited Tamil Nadu to observe a similar program there. Following their assessment and report submission, the Telangana government decided to implement the scheme for students in the state.

Priyanka Gandhi Alleges Oversight of Corruption in Shivraj Government by ED:

AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi accused the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday of disregarding allegations of corruption within the Madhya Pradesh government.

While addressing a public gathering in Mohankheda, Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh, Ms. Gandhi claimed that the ED was selectively targeting Congress-led governments in the state and was not investigating allegations of corruption within the BJP government in the state.

She alleged that during Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s 18-year tenure as Chief Minister, around 250 corruption scandals had come to light.

In response, the BJP dismissed these allegations, asserting that Priyanka Gandhi lacked knowledge about Madhya Pradesh and merely recited a speech provided to her by the state’s Congress leader, Kamal Nath. BJP spokesman Dr. Hitesh Vajpayee stated, “She (Ms. Gandhi) is not familiar with Madhya Pradesh. She makes unfounded allegations without any basis. She visited the state as a visiting politician and recited the speech prepared for her by Mr. Nath.”

Priyanka Gandhi expressed skepticism regarding the implementation of the women’s reservation bill recently passed in Parliament, suggesting it may not be enforced for at least a decade.

She also pledged that if the Congress were to come to power in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming year-end assembly elections, they would fulfill their promises of providing a monthly incentive of Rs 1500 to women and waiving crop loans for farmers.

Siddaramaiah Briefs Central Team on Drought Situation in Karnataka:

Three Central Government teams arrived in Bengaluru on Thursday for a four-day visit to assess the drought situation in Karnataka. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah appealed to these Central teams to support the distressed farmers during this challenging period.

During discussions with the Central teams, the Chief Minister highlighted that Karnataka had experienced exceptionally low rainfall this season, a rare occurrence in the past 122 years. As a result, crops have suffered damage across approximately 42 lakh hectares of land.

Siddaramaiah informed the Central teams that the State Government had already declared 195 taluks as drought-affected, while 32 other taluks in the state did not meet the Central Government’s criteria for declaring drought. He emphasized the critical situation by explaining that even though fields may appear green at first glance, they lack the necessary water to thrive.

The Chief Minister also drew attention to the low water levels in the Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir due to reduced rainfall in Madikeri district, which serves as the catchment area for the reservoir. He stressed that Karnataka is facing significant challenges due to the season’s inadequate rainfall, requiring approximately 33 tmc feet of water solely for drinking water needs.

Siddaramaiah pointed out that the number of small and marginal farmers in the state has increased in recent years and expressed the need for an increase in crop compensation for these farmers, as the current compensation levels, in accordance with NDRF guidelines, are insufficient.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Vandita Sharma, Secretary of the Revenue Department Rashmi Mahesh, and other relevant officials.

Tamil Nadu Government Issues Compensation Orders for Delta Farmers:

Chief Minister M K Stalin has declared compensation of Rs 13,500 per hectare for Kuruvai paddy crops that have withered in the delta region this season due to the River Cauvery’s water scarcity.

An official press release issued on Thursday explained that Kuruvai cultivation in the Cauvery delta commenced after the Chief Minister initiated water release from the Mettur dam on June 12, ahead of the usual schedule.

Unfortunately, the Cauvery’s water levels were depleted when the Karnataka government failed to honor its commitment to supply water to Tamil Nadu.

The press release further noted that more than 40,000 hectares of paddy crops have been adversely affected by the water shortage.

Despite the State government’s persistent efforts to secure its rightful share of Cauvery water through forums such as the Cauvery River Water Authority, the Supreme Court, and the Union Water Resources Ministry, Karnataka remained steadfast in its refusal to release water, citing scarcity as the rationale.

Priyanka Questions Delayed Implementation of Women’s Quota Bill:

On Thursday, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her criticism of the BJP-led Union government, stating that the recently passed legislation reserving seats for women in legislatures cannot be put into effect for a decade.

Addressing a rally in Mohankheda, Dhar district, which is gearing up for elections in Madhya Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra questioned the government’s timing in introducing the bill when the women’s quota couldn’t be implemented right away.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her disappointment, stating that the women’s reservation bill was introduced by the BJP-led Union government, with the support of all Opposition parties. However, the revelation that it wouldn’t be enforced for a decade and would be preceded by a census left her questioning the purpose of this announcement, feeling that it undermined the importance of Female representation.

The Congress leader pointed out that the government must conduct the delimitation exercise before enforcing the new Act, which reserves 33 percent of seats for females in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures, and this process will span a decade.

Gandhi further questioned why a caste census is not being conducted if everyone truly has equal rights. She highlighted the Bihar caste census, which revealed that 84 percent of the population comprises OBCs and Dalits, yet these communities are not adequately represented in government positions. When asked about this issue, the BJP remains silent, according to Gandhi.

Karnataka Requests Review of Cauvery Body’s Order in Petition:

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar announced that the state has submitted a petition to the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) requesting a review of its directive regarding water release to Tamil Nadu. He also stated that preparations are underway for constructing the Mekedatu balancing reservoir on the river.

Despite recent rainfall in some areas, Shivakumar emphasized the water scarcity in Cauvery basin reservoirs. He mentioned the government’s efforts to safeguard standing crops and expressed hope for more rain in the coming days.

The state has appealed to the CWMA, expressing its inability to release even 3,000 cusecs of water. Regarding the Mekedatu project, he assured me that legal preparations are being made.

When asked about the possibility of approaching the Supreme Court, Shivakumar indicated a step-by-step approach, emphasizing the need for careful consideration.

Regarding the formulation of a distress water-sharing formula during deficit rainfall years, he suggested addressing the issue after the current year.

The CWMA had previously directed Karnataka to release 3,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu until October 15, despite Karnataka’s claims of inadequate reservoir storage.

Shivakumar reiterated that the Mekedatu balancing reservoir is the state’s preferred solution to resolve inter-state water disputes during periods of water scarcity. However, Tamil Nadu opposes the project, citing concerns for its interests and those of its farmers.

Shivakumar noted the current water deficit, with 106 tmc of water required and only 56 tmc available in Cauvery basin reservoirs. While there was an increase in inflow due to recent rainfall, it has since decreased.

He highlighted the protection of standing crops thanks to the available water, considering the drought declaration. The state has advised against fresh crop planting until sufficient water availability is confirmed, with expectations of further rain next month guiding future decisions.

The BRS, filled with anger over Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s recent statements regarding his conversations with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, launched a scathing attack on Modi and the BJP. Several BRS leaders criticized Modi, and the party’s members used social media platforms to express their displeasure.

Although Party leaders downplayed Modi’s remarks, they seemed genuinely concerned about how his message was being received by their cadre on the ground. The Prime Minister’s statements in Nizamabad appeared to have raised significant concerns within the Party.

Numerous BRS leaders publicly criticized Modi, with the party using cartoons, video clips, and comments on social media to convey their disdain for him. For instance, Rama Rao used Twitter to highlight that in 2018, the BJP had offered support the Party to form the state government, which sparked protests from the BJP. The party also accused the Modi government of privatizing some of the country’s valuable assets on the same platform.

The BRS conducted an online campaign centered on the theme of ‘Modi’s salesmanship,’ featuring videos of Rama Rao refuting Modi’s claims at the BJP’s Nizamabad public meeting. The party used slogans like “While KCR stands for ‘nammakam’ (belief), Modi is for ‘ammakam’ (selling away)” in multiple posts on social media.

Furthermore, the BRS criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for suggesting that Modi’s statements in Nizamabad indicated an alliance between the party and the BJP. The Party questioned Rahul Gandhi’s inconsistency, stating that his hypocrisy was no different from Modi’s falsehoods.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the Union Cabinet meeting, which approved the ToR under section 5(1) of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956.

Currently, both states are in disagreement over water allocation, with Andhra Pradesh allotted 512 tmc ft annually and Telangana receiving 299 tmc ft, based on their respective projects. Telangana seeks an equal 50% allocation, while Andhra Pradesh opposes this change.

A senior official from Andhra Pradesh’s water resources department emphasized the importance of understanding the ToR’s details and their potential impact on the state’s water allocation, which is currently based on project numbers.

The board’s activities are expected to enhance the well-being and prosperity of turmeric growers by focusing on value addition and bringing added value closer to the farming communities.

In the 2022-23 period, turmeric cultivation covered an area of 3.24 lakh hectares in India, resulting in a production of 11.61 lakh tonnes, which accounts for over 75% of global turmeric production. India cultivates more than 30 turmeric varieties across 20 states, with the major producing states being Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.

Government of India Officially Announces Formation of National Turmeric Board

India holds a remarkable 62% share of the global trade in turmeric. In the 2022-23 fiscal year, over 1.534 lakh tonnes of turmeric and turmeric-related products, valued at $207.45 million USD, were exported by more than 380 exporters. Bangladesh, UAE, USA, and Malaysia are the leading export markets for Indian turmeric. The focused efforts of the National Turmeric Board are expected to propel turmeric exports to reach $1 billion USD by 2030.

The people of Nizamabad appeared satisfied and greatly appreciated PM Modi’s speech.

Here are the key highlights of Modi’s visit to Nizamabad:

BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy and Arvind Dharmapuri MP honored Modi with a shawl and a statue of Goddess Saraswati.

Expressing their support for the establishment of the National Turmeric Board, farmers presented the Prime Minister with turmeric seeds and saplings.

Bandi Sanjay informed the PM about Muthyala Manohar Reddy, a leader among turmeric farmers who had walked barefoot for 12 years advocating for the establishment of the turmeric board.

Cultural performances captivated the audience at the Indur Jana Garjana public meeting.

The audience responded with enthusiasm when Modi mentioned Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his family members.

Due to security arrangements for the PM’s visit, entry into the Nizamabad collectorate was restricted on Tuesday because the helipad was located within the collectorate premises.

Nizamabad, the third-largest city in Telangana near the Maharashtra border, was adorned in saffron ahead of PM Modi’s arrival, creating a striking visual display.
