SC refuses to stay AP HC’s order on Amaravati; setback for YS Jagan’s govt

[ad_1]
In a blow for the YSRCP-led state government in Andhra Pradesh, the Supreme Court has refused to grant the state’s motion to postpone a March last year high court ruling ordering the YSRCP government to construct Amaravati as the state’s capital within six months.
The court will consider the plea, along with other petitions related to the subject on July 11, Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagaratna said.
In the state assembly, chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy declared that he will relocate to Visakhapatnam and work from the coastal city beginning in July.
Justice Joseph will retire on June 16, and the case will be heard by a new bench in July.
After the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh’s bifurcation into Telangana and a new Andhra Pradesh (Seemandhra) in 2014, both were supposed to share Hyderabad as their capital for ten years.
But, then AP chief minister Chandrababu Naidu declared plans to establish a world-class greenfield capital in Amaravati and all the state bureaucracy was moved from Hyderabad to under plan Amaravati. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the seminal event.
Hundreds of acres of land were purchased, and large plans were put up for the construction of the new capital, despite the fact that funding proved to be a major obstacle.
Later, in May 2019, when YSRCP won the Assembly elections and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy became the chief minister, he alleged that the Naidu-led previous government committed a massive land purchase fraud, abandoned plans for a new capital in Amaravati, and abolished the AP Capital Area Development Authority (AP-CRDA).

Jagan announced decentralisation in new legislation, saying the state will have three capitals: a judicial capital in Kurnool, a legislative capital in Amaravati, and an executive capital in Vizag.
But this resulted in legal complications. In November, the government withdrew its decentralisation bill and cancelled the AP-CRDA.
In March 2022, the Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled in favour of Amaravati farmers, ordering that the capital be erected at Amaravati according to the master plan outlined in the Capital Area Development Authority Act within six months. The state government filed a petition with the Supreme Court.
This was in reaction to various applications filed by farmers challenging the repeal of the CRDA Act, which had been approved by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)’s administration in order to create a magnificent capital at Amaravati, for which they had provided the land.
A high court division bench led by Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra issued its final decision on a slew of petitions contesting the Decentralisation Act and the repeal of the Andhra Pradesh CRDA Act.
The state administration then repealed the AP Decentralisation Act and the CRDA Repeal Act in November.
The case was resumed by the high court when several petitioners stated that there were additional unsolved concerns related to the CRDA legislation, such as the transfer of developer plots to land owners who had handed away their farm lands, development or basic infrastructure, and land mortgaging in banks.

Govt sanctions Rs 800 cr for installing 7,432 EV fast charging stations

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Ministry of Heavy Industries on Tuesday said Rs 800 crore under FAME India Scheme Phase II has been sanctioned to three PSU oil marketing companies (OMC) for setting up 7,432 public fast charging EV stations across the country.
The amount has been sanctioned under FAME Scheme Phase II.
The ministry has released Rs 560 crore or 70 per cent of the total amount to three OMCs — Indian Oil (IOCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) — as the first installment for the installation and commissioning of upstream infrastructure and charging equipment of EV public charging stations at respective retail outlets in the country.
The installation is expected to be completed by March 2024, the ministry said in a statement.
At present, there are 6,586 charging stations across the country.
“The addition of the new 7,432 public charging stations will be a significant push to EV charging ecosystem,” the release said, and added the charging capacity would be used for charging electric 2-wheelers, 4-wheelers, light commercial vehicles, and mini-buses.
Mahendra Nath Pandey, Minister of Heavy Industries said the move will give a boost to the electric vehicle ecosystem in India and encourage more people to switch to cleaner modes of transportation.
He also added that the government is committed to promoting sustainable green mobility solutions and reducing the country’s carbon emissions, working towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Net Zero mission.

The minister further said the move will create a robust charging infrastructure network in India that is more accessible to the public.

Telangana govt to rejuvenate 50 lakes in Hyderabad

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana’s department of municipal administration and urban development on Tuesday launched a programme to rejuvenate and develop 50 water bodies in and around Hyderabad.
Minister for municipal administration and urban development K.T. Rama Rao inaugurated the ‘Lakes Development Programme’ at Khajaguda Lake.
Of the 50 lakes, 25 are in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits and the remaining 25 in Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) limits.
Minister KTR handed over MoU certificates to real estate development companies which have adopted lakes for development. With a call to action, he urged them to carry out the development process to world-class standards.
He said that the periphery of the lakes will have walking tracks, landscaping, open gyms, benches, toilets, lights for evening walks, play area for children, gazebos, amphitheater and other facilities.
Exciting news for Hyderabad!
MA&UD Minister @KTRBRS launched the ‘Lakes Development Programme’ with an aim to revitalize and develop 50 water bodies in and around the city.
Let’s support this noble cause and work towards preserving precious water bodies. pic.twitter.com/2NGJoJkohG
— Minister for IT, Industries, MA & UD, Telangana (@MinisterKTR) March 28, 2023
KTR said that Durgam Cheruvu turned into a huge tourist attraction after the lake was developed, and added that there would be more such head turners.
He said that the idea of developing the lakes was conceived when the state government wanted to create spaces for senior citizens to take walks, for people to come with their children and other family members and spend time in leisure.
The minister spoke about the rapid growth in Hyderabad in the past eight years in IT, life sciences and other sectors and the world class infrastructure created here. “Hyderabadis are owning up, drawing pride from development on all fronts. We have just begun our journey. There are many plans,” said minister KTR.

Giving a sneak peek into a few of the plans for Hyderabad, the Minister said that in future, Hyderabad will have at least 250 kms of Metro line in and around the city and all the buses in Hyderabad will be electric.
Stating that no other city in India has the future and potential that Hyderabad has, KTR added that plans are afoot for the expansion of medical devices park, another world class film city, an international-standard sports city, and an academic city.

Gujarat govt paid Rs 16,900 cr in two years to Adani, Tata firms to buy electricity

[ad_1]
Gandhinagar: The Gujarat government has paid Rs 16,900 crore to Adani Power and Tata Power for purchasing electricity during the last two years, the state Assembly was informed on Monday.
As per the data tabled by Energy Minister Kanubhai Desai during Question Hour, the state government paid Rs 8,160 crore to Adani Power Mundra Ltd while Rs 8,784 was paid to Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power, in 2021 and 2022.
While responding to a set of questions raised by Congress MLAs about the purchase of electricity from these private players, Desai said the state government paid Rs 2,760 crore to Adani Power in 2021 to buy 5,589 million units while Rs 5,400 crore was paid to the firm in 2022 for nearly 6,000 million units.
In 2021, the state government paid Rs 2,751 crore to Tata Power to buy 7,315 million units, while the cost came to Rs 6,033 crore for 10,446 million units in 2022.
The data suggested per unit cost of Rs 2.83 paid to Adani in January 2021 went up to Rs 8.83 per unit in December 2022 (provisional). Similarly, Tata Power charged Rs 4.92 per unit from the government in 2022 against Rs 1.80 in January 2021.
Desai said the per unit cost of electricity went up after 2018 due to “exponential rise” in the price of imported coal, which had forced such power generators to shut their plants in Gujarat.
To ensure people of Gujarat get uninterrupted power, the state government had signed new supplementary agreements with Adani to pay as per the actual cost of fuel, said Desai.
Again in 2021, when gas and imported coal prices saw significant rise, the state government, to ensure uninterrupted power supply, bought electricity from these firms under “special temporary arrangement” as approved by the Centre and state government, Desai said in the Assembly.

Mahua Moitra takes potshots at govt over Adani issue, shell companies

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Monday took potshots at the government while sharing a Corporate Affairs Ministry’s two years old press release which stated that more than 2.38 lakh shell companies were identified between 2018 and 2021.
She tweeted the official statement while tagging it to her earlier tweet posted in the morning, where she had tagged a response to a Rajya Sabha question on shell companies, with the government saying that data regarding offshore shell companies owned by Indian citizens is “unavailable”.
The question was by MP John Brittas – who had asked for “details of offshore shell companies whose Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) are held by Indian citizens”.
In its reply, the government said: “It is submitted that an offshore shell company is not defined in the Acts administered by the Ministry of Finance. Data/details regarding offshore shell companies owned by Indian citizens is not available.”
Sharing both responses, Moitra tweeted: “Government identified 2,38,223 shell companies without any specific definition in law. Blinkers on only when it comes to Adani Group family shells in Mauritius!”
“How can the government take action against Adani? Finance Ministry does not know definition of shell firm! Written answer in RS says no clue, hence no action,” she tweeted, while sharing a picture of the proverbial “three wise monkeys” and tagging Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

Osmanabad, Aurangabad renamed due to history, Maha govt tells HC

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The Maharashtra government on Monday told Bombay High Court that Aurangabad and Osmanabad were renamed Sambhaji Nagar and Dharashiv, respectively, due to history and not for political reasons.
The government filed its affidavits in response to two public interest litigations challenging the decision to change the names of these cities. The petitions claimed the decision was politically motivated.
The government in its affidavits denied the name change was being effected for any such reason as alleged in the petitions.
“The state government has complied with all the necessary procedures involved in effecting change of name. The decision to change the name of Osmanabad to Dharashiv neither leads to any religious and communal hatred nor creates any rift between religious groups,” the state government said.
The affidavit said a majority of the people celebrated the name change.
The affidavit added that various records showed previously Osmanabad was known as Dharashiv.
“As per the story in Skand Puran, there was a devil in Dharashiv village namely Dharasur, who was killed by the goddess Saraswati. Due to this goddess Saraswati was known as Dharasur Mardini and the name of this village became Dharashiv. The village Dharashiv has been known as such from an ancient period,” the government’s affidavit said.
Justifying renaming Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar, the government said Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was a king reverently remembered for choosing his people and their beliefs and for sacrificing his life to protect the people.

During the hearing, a division bench of Acting Chief Justice SV Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep Marne was informed by Advocate General Birendra Saraf that the notifications changing the name of the two cities had been issued.
Saraf said the government had now issued draft notification for renaming the districts and village revenue divisions, and it was now at the stage of receiving objections.
When the petitioners sought for a stay on that process, Saraf explained the objection procedure was going to take about eight weeks and that there would no movement towards final notification at least for this period.
The court then said it would hear the petitions next month.
The Maharashtra government had last year approved the name of Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar and Osmanabad as Dharashiv.
On July 16, 2022, a Government Resolution was passed, which was forwarded to the Union government.
One petition filed by Aurangabad residents Mohammed Mushtaq Ahmed, Annasaheb Khandare and Rajesh More challenged the government’s decision to rename Aurangabad as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Another PIL was filed by 17 residents of Osmanabad against the government’s decision to rename it as Dharashiv.
Both the petitions termed the government’s decision as “politically motivated”.

Telangana govt even today hesitates to celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day: Amit Shah

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah hoisted a 103 ft high national flag and inaugurated the ‘Gorata Shaheed Smarak’ and memorial of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at Gorata ground in Bidar district on Sunday.
On the inaugural of the memorial Shah attacked the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana stating that the Telangana government even today hesitates to celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day.
“In this Gorata village, hundreds of people were killed by the army of a cruel Nizam for hoisting just a 2.5-ft tall Tricolour. Today, I proudly say that on the same land, we have hoisted a 103-ft tall Tricolour that can’t be hidden from anyone,” stated Shah.
“On the same land, a memorial of those immortal martyrs has been erected. This 20-ft tall statue of Sardar Patel is a symbol of the significant role played by our first Home Minister in ousting the Nizam from Hyderabad. That is why this area, this Bidar could become a part of India,” he added, stating that the BJP will celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day in a grand manner.
Telangana is due for elections at the end of this year.
Later, in an apparent move to woo the two dominant communities, Lingayatas and Vokkaligas, in the poll-bound Karnataka, where elections are due by May, the BJP leader will unveil the statues of 12th-century social reformer Basaveshwara and the founder of Bengaluru city ‘Nadaprabhu’ Kempegowda on the ‘Vidhana Soudha’ premises.
