    Inauguration of a bridge constructed at a cost of Rs 4 crore over Chittivagu in Dumala village of Ellareddypet mandal, Rajanna Sirisilla district and Swashakti Mahila Sangam building was taken up.

    Launching a series of developmental programmes held in different villages of Rajanna-Sircilla on Monday, KTR promised to provide jobs to local youth from Cheerlavancha and other surrounding villages in the AquaHub which would be developed in the Mid Manair reservoir.

    Taking a dig at the central government, KTR said that despite non-cooperation from the Union government, welfare activities in Telangana continued.

    Stating that the people would decide in the elections as to who was Lord Rama and who was the demon king Ravana, KTR asked opposition parties to join hands with the Telangana government for speed deveopment.

    “Telangana became a role model to the entire country by introducing innovative schemes during the last eight years and it was the only state providing Rs 65,000 crore to 65 lakh farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme,” lauded KTR.

    KTR further held that while Telangana was supplying round-the-clock free power supply to the agriculture sector, the Centre mounted pressure on the state to fix meters to agricultural motors.

    “In the united Andhra Pradesh, the peak power demand was 13,117 MW. However, this was 16,000 MW in Telangana.

    “The state government was spending Rs 10,000 crore to supply quality power to the people, he said, adding that it was the Telangana government that enhanced the ST reservation quota to 10 percent from 6 percent,” KTR added.

  • Telangana: KTR calls for ‘Maha Dharna’ against SCCL privatisation

    Telangana: KTR calls for ‘Maha Dharna’ against SCCL privatisation

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) working president and Telangana minister KT Rama Rao on Thursday gave a call for a massive protest against the centre’s decision to auction Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) coal mines.

    Stating that the centre issued a notification to auction the mines in Sathupalli Block 3, Shravan Palli, Penagadapa, KTR demanded the auctioning process, which was scheduled to be conducted from March 29 to May 30, to be rolled back.

    Vehemently opposing the central government’s ‘veiled attempts’ to privatise the SCCL, KTR gave a call for Maha Dharna, a press release stated.

    MS Education Academy

    Further, he demanded that SCCL should allocate the mines without auctioning. “BRS leaders and activists along with Singareni employees will protest against the centre, in Mancherial, Peddapalli, Ramagundam on April 8,” said the minister.

    KTR spoke about the economic significance of SCCL, the centre’s conspiracy to impede Telangana’s growth by privatising SCCL, and the disastrous impact of its privatisation on various sections of the state.

    ‘Why privatise when SCCL is profitable?’

    “Can anyone from the Centre dare to reason the need for privatising SCCL when it is setting records in terms of production, profits and Plant Load Factor (PLF)?” he said.

    BRS’s working president said, “The centre is conspiring to push Singareni, which is currently reaping profits, into losses by not allocating the coal mines. The Centre sold many Public Sector Units (PSU) which made profits. Vizag Steel Plant (VSP) was also pushed into losses by not allocating mines to it”.

    KTR slams PM Modi

    He informed that the chief minister and BRS president K Chandrashekar Rao had already written to the centre stating that the coal mines needed for SCCL be allocated to it.

    Adding that Singareni Employees have also placed the same demand he accused, “Though the state urged the union government for the past several years for the allocation of the mines to Singareni, the centre turned a deaf ear to it. This is despite the allocation of a large number of Lignite mines to Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) through nomination”.

    The minister alleged, “The prime minister who was generous towards Gujarat, discriminated against the progressive Telangana. PM Narendra Modi who visited Ramagundam on November 11, 2022, assured that Singareni would not be privatised. But the PM did not stand by his promise. How would Modi respond to it during his next visit to the state?”

    ‘SCCL privatisation – an attempt to gut agriculture and mar CM KCR’: KTR

    KTR termed the privatisation of the SCCL as an ‘attempt to mar CM KCR’s determination’ to provide 24-hour free electricity to farmers. He also alleged that the centre is trying to force the farmers to rely on bores for farming again.

    “Singareni plays a crucial role in thermal power generation in the State and provides high-quality power to agricultural needs, industries, and domestic requirements, the Centre is creating obstacles to this,” he said.

    “The centre is not able to digest the appreciation Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project has been receiving and it is plotting to deprive the lift irrigation projects of power supply,” he further said.

    Two BJP MPs from Telangana hold ‘forged’ certificates: KTR

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao on Tuesday alleged that two MPs of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Telangana hold forged educational certificates from Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu universities.

    “Looks like we have too many MunnaBhai, MBBS types in BJP,” tweeted KTR, who is also a minister in Telangana cabinet.

    “2 BJP MPs from Telangana are also allegedly Fake Certificate holders… Have forged certificates from Rajasthan & TN universities,” he wrote.

    MS Education Academy

    “Isn’t it a criminal offence to lie in your election affidavit on whose basis MP gets elected? Should the LS speaker not ascertain & disqualify if found guilty?,” he asked.

    Last week, KTR had mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi by offering to show his degrees.

    “I have a Masters Degree in Biotechnology from Pune University. Also have a Masters Degree in Business Administration from City University of New York. Can share both certificates publicly. Just Saying,” KTR had tweeted after Gujarat High Court ruled that the Prime Minister’s Office need not furnish the degree and postgraduate degree certificate of Prime Minister Modi.

    The court had set aside the order of the Chief Information Commission (CIC) directing the Public Information Officer (PIO) of PMO and PIOs of Gujarat University and Delhi University to furnish details of Modi’s graduate and postgraduate degrees.

    Meanwhile, the BRS leader also took a dig at the Prime Minister for his direction to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) not to spare any corrupt person.

    “With exceptions of ……,” tweeted KTR, who posted a video clip of Modi’s speech at CBI’s diamond jubilee celebrations.

    “Joke of the century,” added the BRS leader.

    KTR shares old video of BJP Telangana chief after he hails 'RRR's Oscar win

    Hyderabad: State minister of municipal administration and urban development KT Rama Rao (KTR) said here on Monday that Mana Nagaram, a town hall meeting programme, will soon begin in the city.

    KTR stated that the meetings will be held with one of the key topics up for discussion during the meeting. The Construction and Demolition (C&D) factories put up at Fathullaguda and Jeedtimetla, each with a capacity of 500 metric tonnes, were particularly requested by the minister. Several building construction goods were being made from the trash.

    According to Telangana Today, the C&D facilities’ capacity was not being used to its full potential, and at several major construction sites, garbage was being dumped along the sides of the highways. He told the builders that all it would take was one phone call to arrange for the removal of all the waste from the sites and transportation to the plants.

    “In addition to these two plants, four more plants are being set up. They are being established to keep the city clean and ensure effective recycling of the waste” Rama Rao said.

    “Possibilities should be explored to use tiles made out of C&D waste for a cool roof programme by adding some additional components. It could be a perfect solution,” he added.

  • BRS to resist privatisation of Vizag Steel Plant; KTR writes to Centre

    BRS to resist privatisation of Vizag Steel Plant; KTR writes to Centre

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday reiterated the party’s support to Vizag Steel Plant workers saying that the BRS would oppose the Central Government’s move to privatise the steel plant.

    In an open letter to the Union Government, KTR said that the Narendra Modi government’s “evil plans” to sell off the VSP to private players, the reasons for the steel plant’s losses, and ways in which the plant could be revived.

    “As part of the conspiracy to privatize the steel plant, VSP will be pushed into losses and the crisis will be shown as an excuse to hand it over to crony corporate companies. The central government did not allow the special iron ore mines to the steel plant. Due to this, the steel plant is forced to spend up to 60 per cent of its production cost on raw material,” he added.

    MS Education Academy

    He further said that on the other hand, the cost of raw materials in private companies’ production is less than 40 per cent as iron ore, coal and other mines were allotted to them.

    BRS’s working president further said that VSP, which is forced to spend huge amounts on raw materials, is facing challenges as it is competing with private corporate companies in the market in terms of production.
    It is facing losses as the enterprise has to sell at the same price as them in the market.

    Minister KTR said that the enterprise is in distress as coking coal has to be imported, and iron raw materials needed for steel production are being bought at the market rate from NMDC.

    “Due to this, more than 50 per cent of production had to be stopped for a year. All of this is part of a conspiracy to push the Vizag Steel Plant into losses and use it as an excuse to privatize the steel plant. PM Modi has written off loans worth Rs 12.5 lakh crores for his corporate friends. Why is he not showing the same generosity on the Vizag steel plant?” KTR questioned.

    Stating that an Expression of Interest (EoI) notification was issued in the garb of mobilizing funds for working capital and raw materials, KTR said that the Modi government was indirectly attempting to hand over the PSU to private entities through the notification. Minister demanded that the centre should immediately cancel the EoI notification.

    The minister in his letter laid out a detailed plan to revive the PSU.
    He said that Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has already announced its expansion plans with a cost of around Rs 1 lakh crore.

    He also said that the company can be merged with the Vizag Steel Plant, which has several advantages when compared to selling the steel plant to private companies at a low price.

    “This will contribute towards SAIL’s expansion goals. If the company moves in this direction, then an ecosystem can be created to fulfil a long-standing demand for a steel factory in Bayyaram, Telangana and a steel plant in Kadapa,” KTR further said.

    Stating that VSP is not able to operate at its full capacity of 7.3 MTPA as the central government is not providing raw materials and capital, BRS Working President said that the enterprise which is working at 50 per cent of the capacity is incurring the same production cost it incurs for working at 100 per cent capacity.

    He also said that if the centre extends support, the enterprise can work at full capacity which will help it in generating profits.
    BRS Working President said that the enterprise which is working at 50 per cent of the capacity is incurring the same production cost it incurs for working at 100 per cent capacity.
