    BJP MP Arvind hits back at KCR over ‘Ab Ki Baar Kisan Sarkar’ slogan

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Lashing out at Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for his ‘Ab Ki Baar Kisan Sarkar’ slogan, BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri on Thursday said the Bharat Rashtriya Samithi chief shouldn’t be raising such slogans at a time when the state’s farmers are in “dire straits”.

    “Due to unseasonal rains in Telangana, thousands and lakhs of acres of crops have been damaged. The state government hasn’t relief for the affected farmers as yet. KCR announced Rs 10,000 for each farmer as relief but the amount hasn’t been released as yet. This is not the first time he has done this. In 2022, lakhs of acres of farmland were damaged because of excessive rainfall but not even a penny was announced as compensation,” the BJP MP said.

    “Today, he [KCR] is saying ‘Ab ki baar Kisan Sarkar’, when the farmers of Telangana are in dire straits,” he said.

    He claimed that despite prior alerts issued by the Met department, the state government did not plan for unseasonal rain and neither announced measures to safeguard the interests of farmers in the event of crop damage.

    “KCR is busy extending his party’s footprint in Maharashtra,” he said.

    Earlier this week, addressing a gathering in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, KCR raised the slogan ‘Ab Ki Baar Kisan Sarkar’ (Government for farmers to be elected next time).

    He also asked farmers to vote for a government that will ensure their welfare and also pitched the “Telangana model” of governance in Maharashtra.

    “Farmers should lead the movement for change, for realising the all-round development of a nation which is lagging behind,” he had said earlier.

  • Karnataka: Kharge likens Modi to ‘poisonous’ snake, BJP hits out at Cong chief

    Karnataka: Kharge likens Modi to ‘poisonous’ snake, BJP hits out at Cong chief

    [ad_1]

    Gadag: Congress President M Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday likened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a poisonous snake, drawing the BJP’s ire.

    Addressing a public meeting at Ron in Gadag district, as part of the party’s campaign for the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka, he said: “don’t make a mistake. Modi is like a poisonous snake. If you say, ‘no, it’s not poisonous. let’s lick it and find out.’ Don’t go to lick it. If you lick, you die.”

    Kharge further added, “(if you think that) No, no, this is not a poison because Modi has given it, ‘good man’ Prime Minister has given it, let’s try it and lick it’. If you lick that poison then you will sleep forever”.

    BJP IT department chief Amit Malviya, who also shared the video where Kharge made those comments, on Twitter, said: “Now Congress President Kharge calls Prime Minister Modi poisonous snake’ What started with Sonia Gandhi’s maut ka saudagar’, and we know how it ended, the Congress continues to plummet to new depths. The desperation shows Congress is losing ground in Karnataka and knows it”.

    Kharge later told reporters he only said the BJP was like a snake, and that party’s ideology is like a poison. “If you support that ideology and lick (try) it, death is certain.”

    “I did not speak against him (Modi) because I have already said that I never make personal comments,” he said.

  • Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan hits out at KCR

    Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan hits out at KCR

    [ad_1]

    Madurai: Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao saying that no protocol was being followed in the state as the CM didn’t meet her in two years.

    Speaking to ANI at Madurai airport, the Telangana Governor said, “In Telangana, no protocol is followed. The chief minister has not met me for quite a long time. The constitution says that periodic discussions with the administrators — the chief minister with the governor — are necessary but this doesn’t happen in Telangana at all. For two years I have not met the chief minister. Everyone is putting questions on the governors but no one is questioning the chief ministers.”

    “There should be a good relationship between the governor and the chief minister but that is totally lacking in Telangana,” the governor alleged.

    MS Education Academy

    Alleging that state ministers stay away from her official visits, Soundararajan added, “I have acted on all the Bills. I had invited the chief minister on several occasions but he did not come — be it festivals or during the Republic Day celebrations. On official visits, too, no local leader comes, no MLA or MP comes, and the chief minister doesn’t come. A governor should be treated like a governor, there is a standard operating procedure.”

    Reacting to Tamil Nadu Assembly’s decision to pass a Bill allowing 12-hour work in factories, the Telangana governor said, “My opinion is not a political one but research has found that if we increase the working hours optionally, the resting hours can be increased, thereby enhancing the working potential.”

    “I don’t want to comment on the resolution passed by another state,” she added.

    Last week, the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed the Factories (Amendment) Act 2023 extending the working hours from eight to 12-hour working hours for factory workers.

    The bill would stretch the mandatory working hours to 12 hours from the present 8 hours of duty. Along with the opposition parties, DMK’s ally Congress, Communist Party of India, Marxist Communist Party, Madhyamik Party, Visika and others condemned the Bill and walked out of the Assembly.

    Labour Welfare and Skill Development Minister C V Ganesan moved the Bill amid a huge uproar in the Assembly and the Bill was passed through a voice vote.

  • Hardik hits 66 as GT manage 135/6 against LSG

    Hardik hits 66 as GT manage 135/6 against LSG

    [ad_1]

    Lucknow: Hardik Pandya top-scored with a 50-ball 66 but slow batting in the middle overs meant that Gujarat Titans could post only a modest 135 for six against Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL match here on Saturday.

    Wriddhiman Saha made 47 off 37 balls to lay the foundation but Hardik couldn’t get going for most part of his innings although he somewhat made up for the slow batting with some big hits in the end.

    With the pitch a tad slow and aiding the spinners, stroke-making was difficult and Krunal Pandya emerged Lucknow’s best bowler as he snapped two wickets, giving away just 16 runs after coming to bowl in the second over.

    MS Education Academy

    Pacer Naveen-ul-Haq (1/19) and Marcus Stoinis (2/20) also did the job but Ravi Bishnoi had a forgettable outing as he conceded 49 off his quota of four overs.

    The black soil pitch didn’t offer much bounce and pace but Naveen-ul-Haq used the conditions well, not allowing the batters to break free as he conceded just 12 in his first two overs.

    Krunal drew first blood, dismissing Shubhman Gill for a duck in just his second delivery with the opener holing out to Ravi Bishnoi at long-off.

    Saha looked proactive as he managed to pick up boundaries against each of the bowlers, especially Bishnoi, who was punished twice on the off-side as GT scored 40 for 1 in the Powerplay overs.

    Hardik, who promoted himself to No. 3, found the going tough initially but Saha was in good nick as he dispatched Stoinis across backward point for another boundary.

    Hardik finally broke free, sending Bishnoi across extra cover to bring up the 50-run partnership and then depositing him over long-off as the 9th over yielded 14 runs.

    After 12 for 1 in his first three overs, Krunal returned to deceive a well-set Saha with his flight and the opener was caught by Deepak Hooda.

    Soon it was 77 for 3 as Amit Mishra set up Abhinav Manohar (3) with a loopy ball outside off and Naveen-ul-Haq took a stunning catch at deep cover with a full stretch dive.

    Pandya and newman Vijay Shankar couldn’t push the score and Naveen-ul-Haq returned to clean up the latter as GT reached 92 for 4 in 15 overs.

    The 16th and 17th overs slowed down the Titans but with Mishra subbed out, Bishnoi bowled the 18th and Pandya slammed two sixes and a four to bring up his fifty in 44 balls. The over yielded 19 runs.

    Naveen-ul-Haq bowled another good over as David Miller just couldn’t get going.

    Hardik clubbed Stoinis for a maximum before holing out to KL Rahul.

  • Increasing inflation hits Eid budget in Kashmir

    Increasing inflation hits Eid budget in Kashmir

    [ad_1]

    Jahangeer Ganaie

    Srinagar, Apr 20: Markets in Kashmir witnessed thin footfall of shoppers ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr with many blaming inflation for hitting Eid budget.

    Shopkeepers from several markets told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that they were expecting a good sale but said the markets lacked enthusiasm.

    People were seen jostling and swarming around mutton and bakeries shops. But the overall market sentiment was low, said shopkeepers.

    Jahangir Ahmad, a shopkeeper at Pulwama town told KNO despite Covid restrictions in the last two years, sales were good and whosoever was visiting shop was at least purchasing an item or two at least.

    But he said that this time sales remained all time low because customers are not in a position to afford.

    “Inflation and poverty due to Covid-19 lockdowns have badly hit J&K and the poor are hardly able to fill their bellies,” he said.

    Javaid Ahmad, a shopkeeper dealing with readymade garments said that he used to sale lakhs on festive occasions and whosoever was visiting his shop used to buy at least an item or two. But this year very few customers are visiting his shop and one out of ten customers are able to afford an item.

    He said that unemployment is at its peak, poor people have become poorer in last few years and they are hardly able to cater to the requirement of essential items.

    They said that on one hand the rates of essential items like rice have doubled in last few months and on the other hand most people don’t have any are jobless.

    “Most people come to markets to purchase essential items only while sales for other shopkeepers is below par,” shopkeepers said—(KNO)
