BRS will fight Maha polls showcasing Telangana’s progress, says minister

[ad_1]
Aurangabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will contest all elections in Maharashtra henceforth by showcasing the progress Telangana has made in nine years under chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), a party minister said on Friday.
Speaking to PTI, Telangana Minister for Forests and Environment Indrakaran Reddy said CM Rao will address a “joiners’ meeting” in Nanded, some 280 kilometres from here, on February 5.
Reddy, who is touring Nanded as part of preparations for the meet, said, “CM KCR will visit Sachkhand Gurdwara in Nanded, then address the joiners’ meet and follow it up with a press conference on Sunday.”
“Telangana has progressed a lot in the past nine years. It shares a 974-kilometre border with Maharashtra and the difference in the development in villages in the two states is clearly visible. Maharashtra has Mumbai, which is the nation’s financial capital. Why can’t Maharashtra see the same kind of development as has taken place in Telangana,” Reddy asked.
Criticising the political leadership in Maharashtra for the lack of development, Reddy claimed villages in his state were getting electricity and water round the clock, while those in Yavatmal were in the news for farmer suicides.
“The Bharat Rashtra Samithi will fight all polls here showcasing the development of Telangana. Our slogan will be ‘ab ki baar, kisan sarkar’. We are not going to forge an alliance with any party in Maharashtra as of now,” he added.

BRS puts up poster targeting Modi, Centre over budget for Telangana

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Taking a shot at the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government over the 2023-24 union budget that was released on Wednesday, the ruling BRS here put up posters targeting the Centre.
Targeting Modi and the Centre, a big poster stating ‘TELANGANA GETS ZERO IN UNION BUDGET’ was put up in Hyderabad on Thursday. Images of the same were shared on social media sites by Bharata Rashtra Samithi (BRS) members in the city.
BRS workers last year did something similar as well, when they put up ‘money heist’ posters targeting Narendra Modi when he had come to Hyderabad during the BJP’s national executive. The BRS has upped its social media game them by even putting up pink balloons near Modi’s public meeting venue.

As part of its ‘money heist’ campaign, BRS workers held hoardings and protests silently, which diverted attention of many on social media away from the BJP’s national executive, which was in the spotlight last year in July.
On the final day of the BJP’s national executive, just hours ahead of PM Narendra Modi’s rally at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad, pink balloons with the BRS slogan ‘Jai Jai KCR’ were positioned outside the venue, such that those were prominently visible from the venue of BJP’s National Executive meeting.

IT rebate up to Rs 7 lakh of no use to Telangana: Kavitha
After the union budget was released, BRS MLC K Kavitha Kalvakuntla on Wednesday said that the income tax rebate on income up to Rs 7 lakhs (as announced by union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman) in the new tax regime is of no use to the people of Telangana.
“This budget mathematical confirmation of the failure of Modi govt. This seems like a budget for few states. We hoped tax rebate of up to Rs 10 lakhs. In Telangana, we pay good salaries to people so this rebate is of no use to us,” she said speaking to ANI.

‘Injustice to Telangana once again’: BRS slams Budget

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana’s ruling party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has slammed the Union Budget saying that the state has once again received a “raw deal” in the Union Budget.
In his reaction to the Union Budget 2023-24 presented in the Parliament on Wednesday, state Finance Minister T. Harish Rao said that the Centre has “again done injustice to Telangana”. He said that there was “no mention of fulfilling commitments made to the state in Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act”.
Rao said that despite repeated demands for the last nine years to set up a rail coaching factory, the Centre remained indifferent.
He described the budget as “flimsy”.
Rao said that weavers were not provided GST relief and incentives, while there was a drastic cut on fertiliser subsidy. He said injustice was done to Telangana in allocation of nursing and medical colleges.
He claimed that the number of beneficiaries under the PM Kishan scheme has been slashed.
The minister pointed out that last year, Rs 9,243 crore were allocated for procurement of cotton through Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) but this year only Rs 1 lakh has been allocated. “This as a grave injustice to cotton farmers.”
He also accused the Centre of not adhering to Fiscal Responsibility & Budget Management (FRBM) norms. He reiterated that the states were losing their share in taxes due to cesses and surcharges. He also complained of a major cut in allocations for Centrally sponsored schemes.

Agriculture Minister S. Niranjan Reddy alleged that the allocation for agriculture has been slashed by 22 per cent. He said that this again proved that the government at the Centre is “anti-farmer”.
The minister said the Centre has cut the allocation for MNREGA by Rs 29,400 crore while the allocation for PM Kisan Nidhi has not been enhanced.

Telangana has almost zero farmer suicide, claims BRS’ Palla Rajeshwar

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The Rythu Bandhu Samithi president and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Palla Rajeshwar Reddy claimed that farmer suicides in the state are almost zero.
Reddy was addressing a press conference along with government whip G Balaraju and MLCs M S Prabhakar Rao and V Gangadhar Goud on Monday.
Praising chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s pro-farmer welfare schemes, Reddy shot down allegations made by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Bandi Sanjay who claimed that nearly 10,000 farmers in the state have died by suicide.
On January 27, Bandi Sanjay visited the family of deceased farmer Ramulu at Adloor Yellareddy village in Kamareddy and accused the KCR government of land grabbing.
“Ramulu along with his brother has only 2 acres of land. He has 2 children, one studying in Class 5 and the other in Class 10. The 15-year-old elder boy also works in a bakery nearby. It is sad that the only 2 acres of land he owns have gone into the industrial zone. He fought for it for around 20 days but no one responded. The people and the farmers staged protests. But no one responded and it is unfortunate that Ramulu had to die for it,” Bandi Sanjay said.
Claiming that Bandi Sanjay’s claims are baseless, Palla Rajeshwar Reddy said that BRS has full proof of zero farmer suicides.
“Bandi Sanjay is talking about the increase in suicide whereas, on the other hand, the Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar had told the Parliament that there has been a 400 percent decrease in Telangana ever since its formation in 2014,” Reddy said.
Reddy further said that over 91 percent farmer population have benefitted from the Rythu Bandhu scheme. “This includes small and marginal farmers. Those having 50 acres or more comprised only 0.09%. Also, 81% of farmers belong to the scheduled caste, scheduled tribes and backward classes. Allegations made by the Opposition parties are all baseless and politically motivated,” Reddy concluded.

BRS boycotting Prez’s address disrespectful to Dalit, Adivasi women: Telangana BJP

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday called Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) call to boycott President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the Parliament as being disrespectful to Dalit, Adivasi women.
“BRS couldn’t digest the fact that an Adivasi woman became the President of India. If BRS had issues with the speech, the party could have raised them when they get the chance to speak but need not boycott. They should immediately issue an apology,” Sanjay said.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) decided to boycott the Presidential address on Tuesday to highlight the failure of the Union Government, while Leader of Opposition (LoP) Mallikarjun Kharge and several Congress leaders are stuck at Srinagar airport due to bad weather.
Sanjay Singh of the AAP said that the address is a ‘bundle of lies’ and that the AAP will boycott it.
President Droupadi Murmu addressed the joint sitting of Parliament for the first time since being elected to the post. She outlayed the government’s vision for the current year.
In her first address to Parliament as President, Draupadi Murmu on Tuesday expressed her gratitude to citizens for electing a stable government for two consecutive terms and said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government has been identified as a decisive government.
“Wherever there is political instability anywhere in the world, those countries are surrounded by a massive crisis. But due to the decisions my government took in the national interest, India is in a better position as compared to other countries,” Murmu said.
Terming the government, a stable, fearless, and decisive one, “Murmu said, “My government is working towards realising the big dreams.”

“My government has worked for every section of society without any discrimination. As a result of the efforts of my government in the last few years, many basic facilities have either reached 100 per cent population or are very close to that target,” the President said.

BRS & AAP to boycott Prez address

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have decided to boycott the Presidential address on Tuesday to highlight the failure of the Union Government, while Leader of Opposition (LoP) Mallikarjun Kharge and several Congress leaders are stuck at Srinagar airport due to bad weather.
Sanjay Singh of the AAP said that the address is a bundle of lies and that the AAP will boycott it.
He said in a tweet, “Hon’ble President’s speech is a bundle of false promises and false claims by the Modi government. This address will not have President’s own words. Modi government has proved to be a failure on every front. @AamAadmiParty will boycott the President’s address…”
Congress MP and party General Secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh tweeted on Tuesday, “Due to delayed flights from Srinagar airport on account of inclement weather conditions, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, @kharge ji & many other Congress MPs will be unable to attend the President’s address to both Houses of Parliament at 11 am today.”
President Droupadi Murmu will address the joint sitting of Parliament for the first time since being elected to the post. She will outlay the government’s vision for the current year.
The Parliament Budget session will commence on Tuesday and the Finance Minister will table the Economic survey. She will present the Union Budget on Wednesday.
President Droupadi Murmu, in her first Republic Day eve speech, hailed India’s G-20 presidency, saying it is an opportunity to promote democracy and multilateralism, and also the right forum for shaping a better world and a better future.
“India holds the presidency of the Group of 20 nations. With our motto of universal brotherhood, we stand for the peace and prosperity of all. Thus, the G20 presidency is an opportunity to promote democracy and multilateralism and the right forum for shaping a better world and a better future. Under India’s leadership, I am sure, the G20 will be able to further enhance its efforts to build a more equitable and sustainable world order.”

She said the ultimate goal is to create an environment in which all citizens can — individually and collectively, realize their true potential and prosper.

BRS to hold public meeting in Nanded on Feb 5, its first rally outside Telangana

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: After the success of its first public meeting in Khammam recently, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi is all set to hold its second meeting in Nanded in Maharashtra, the first meeting of the party outside Telangana on February 5, BRS sources said on Monday.
Telangana Minister for Endowments Indrakaran Reddy and some senior leaders of the party recently visited the neighbouring state to oversee the arrangements including crowd mobilisation plans.
“This is the first meeting of BRS outside Telangana. KCR (Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao) will address the gathering. Some of the important leaders of the Nanded region are expected to join the party,” the party sources told PTI.
Rao is likely to visit a famous gurudwara in Nanded and offer prayers before the meeting, they further said. Nanded was chosen as the district has a sizeable population of Telugu-speaking people due to its proximity to Telangana.
KCR had earlier told media persons that several villages in the neighbouring state want to merge with Telangana attracted by the welfare and developmental schemes being implemented by his government.
Asserting that the BRS’ slogan in the run-up to 2024 general elections would be ‘Ab ki baar kisan sarkar’ (This time, a government for farmers), KCR recently said Maharashtra continues to witness the highest number of farmers’ suicides despite being one of the richest states.
According to political analysts, the focus of Rao’s speech would be on farmers’ issues in the Nanded meeting.
BRS will also be holding a public meeting at the Parade Ground in Secunderabad and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, his Jharkhand counterpart Hemant Soren, Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, JD(U) National President Lalan Singh as representative of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Dr B R Ambedkar’s grandson Prakash Ambedkar among other dignitaries would attend it, Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Vemula Prashant Reddy had said in a release last week.

Before the public meeting, the leaders would also be attending the inaugural ceremony of the new secretariat complex of Telangana here on that day.
The building named after B R Ambedkar will be inaugurated by KCR between 11.30 am and 12.30 pm on February 17, an auspicious time suggested by Vedic pundits, Reddy said.
