BJP National Working President JP Nadda accused Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao of continuing his family and dynastic regime in the state without any transparency. In the name of a holy name, KCR is committing massive fraud in Kaleswaram irrigation project. Nadda said that the KCR Regime has enhanced the project cost from Rs. 30,000 crore to Rs. 80,000 crore.

BJP has been asserting that KCR has pushed a surplus state like Telangana into deep debts. After the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation, Telangana got the highest revenue source of Hyderabad capital city. Moreover, all the huge assets developed over decades in united AP are located within Hyderabad.

BJP says that KCR has been the CM ever since Telangana got separate statehood along with Hyderabad city but he has destroyed the state’s economy like never before. The so-called Mission Kakatiya irrigation programme has become a TRS Mission for Commissions all over the state. KCR has asked for Central funds for Mission Kakatiya but the Modi government has ignored this. Now, the BJP has called it a programme to benefit TRS leaders.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao is returning to his spiritual path once again. This time, he is all set to take up a Maha Sudarshana Yagam at Yadadri. Accompanied by My Home Chairman Jupally Rameswara Rao, KCR visited and held talks with Vyshnava Peethadhipathi China Jeeyar Swamiji. In the past, KCR had hit national headlines by conducting the Chandi Yagam in a very grand manner.

Once again, KCR is inviting President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Union Ministers, BJP top leaders from Delhi and also Governors, Chief Ministers and Ministers from all other states in the country. The Maha Sudarsana Yagam is going to be held in a majestic way with over 1048 Yagnagundams in an 100-acre area. Over 3,000 Ritwiks and 3,000 priests will be taking part in the yagam.

KCR is always in the forefront of conducting the Yagams in a very large scale despite criticism from the rivals. In the last elections, Prime Minister Modi hit hard at KCR for trusting astrologers and ‘Nimbu, Mirchi’ rather than his own strength but TRS boss hit back asking how does it concern the BJP. KCR’s strategy will be to retain his party hold on a large chunk of Hindu vote bank on which BJP is setting its sights.

The Telangana government on Wednesday decided to hike monthly pension for various categories of beneficiaries from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2016.

The decision was taken at the state cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.

The meeting, which ended Wednesday night, took the decision on increasing the pension to implement the poll promise of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).

It is decided to increase the pension from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,016 to old age people, widows, toddy workers, handloom workers, single women, filaria- affected persons and people with AIDS.

The pension for the differently-abled and aged artistes has been increased from Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,016 and this will be implemented from June.

The hike in pension would cost the state exchequer Rs 12,000 crore per year. The state government will bear Rs 11,800 crores while the Centre will spend Rs 200 crore.

The documents relating to increased pension amounts will be distributed among beneficiaries in all Assembly constituencies from July 20. Ministers, MPs, MLAs, MLCs, Zilla Parishad chairpersons will participate in the programme.

The cabinet has also decided to reduce the old-age pension scheme eligibility age from 65 to 57 years in tune with the promise made in TRS election manifesto. The cabinet has instructed the officials concerned to prepare the list of persons of 57 years of age.

The cabinet gave approval to the draft of the new Municipal Bill. The CM will introduce the draft bill in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday. Both the Houses will debate and pass the bill.

The Telangana High Court on Monday directed the state government not to demolish the existing Secretariat buildings and the Errum Manzil in order to construct a new Secretariat and Assembly till further orders.

Hearing a batch of petitions against the state government’s plans to construct new Secretariat complex by demolishing the existing the structures and build new Assembly building by razing heritage building Errum Manzil, the court asked the government not to take any further action till further orders.

The government had sought 15 days time to file its counter affidavit to the petitions. However, with the court directing it not to take up demolition till further orders, the government conveyed that it will file the counter later in the day.

The opposition parties and various non-political groups have opposed the government’s plans, calling it waste of public money.

Descendants of Nawab Fakrul Mulk, a noble of erstwhile Hyderabad State, have also opposed the plans to demolish Errum Manzil, a family palace built by him about 150 years ago.

Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao on June 27 laid the foundation stone for both the buildings.

While the new Secretariat complex will be built at a cost of Rs 400 crore by demolishing existing structures near Hussain Sagar lake, the Assembly building will be constructed by razing Errum Manzil, which currently houses office of Roads and Buildings Department. Assembly building will be constructed at a cost Rs 100 crore.

Opposing the government plans, the opposition parties said this would waste the public money as the existing buildings are stable and continue to serve the purpose.

The Modi-Shah duo have chosen KCR and his son KTR as their immediate target in the South India. What are the exact political reasons behind this? Political circles are full of rumours that the BJP has got definite information about how KCR has planned to use his Federal Front to destabilise their party at the national level. Amit Shah has also got information that under the cover of his front, KCR has provided large-scale election funds to anti-BJP leaders in different states including Mamata Banerjee.

During his private talks, Amit Shah told his party colleagues that he was not at all happy with the party’s good show in North Indian states. He said that the BJP’s real strength would be completely achieved only when the party is in power in South Indian states as well. For this, he told his party men about KCR’s secret plans to weaken BJP and asked them to get all information about financial sources of the TRS boss.

The Modi-Shah duo are also using the IT department which has already completed the task of financial sources of industrialists and businessmen who are supporting KCR. Undoubtedly, the BJP feels that KCR is the immediate threat to their plans to strengthen BJP in South India. In the coming days, KCR is expected to face much more political heat just like Chandrababu Naidu prior to the recent election.

It seems that all the troubles are knocking at the doors of Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao. He enjoyed and celebrated the victory of his partner Jaganmohan Reddy for over a month but things changed overnight for bad. He is not able to show his face to PM Modi. His party financier Rameswara Rao is under IT scanner. Now, enough time is being given to anti-KCR MPs to highlight burning issues and KCR failures in the Lok Sabha. The TRS MPs had objected to this in front of Lok Sabha Speaker who expressed his inability to help them as MPs have the freedom to pick up their issues.

First, BJP Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar raised the issue of 27 intermediate students’ suicides sheerly because of the KCR government’s failure. Sanjay said that these students ended their lives as the Globarina company specially brought in by the Telangana government committed grievous mistakes. Congress MP Revanth Reddy also raised the tribals lands issue. The ruling TRS leaders are attacking and injuring forest department officials over Podu lands. Revanth said that this was because the TRS lost in the Godavari river nearby areas. He sought action against the TRS by the Central Government agencies.
