KTR condemns Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as Lok Sabha MP

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In a rare moment of solidarity between the BRS and the Congress, Telangana minister KT Rama Rao on Friday condemned the call to disqualify Rahul Gandhi as a Lok Sabha MP after his conviction in a criminal defamation case from 2019.
“Disqualification of @RahulGandhi Ji is a blatant misinterpretation of Constitution The hastiness showed in this issue is highly undemocratic I condemn this!” he tweeted along with a quote from French philosopher Voltaire on Freedom of Expression and ‘First they came..’ poem written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller on Nazi Germany.
By condemning the disqualification, KTR joined many other opposition leaders from across the country who spoke up against the development.
“Shri Rahul Gandhi, Member of Lok Sabha representing the Wayanad Parliamentary Constituency of Kerala stands disqualified from the membership of Lok Sabha from the date of his conviction i.e. 23 March, 2023 in terms of the provisions of Article 102(1)(e) of the Constitution of India read with Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951,” the Lok Sabha secretariat said in a notification issued on Friday.
Congress MP Jairam Ramesh said that the party will not be intimidated or silenced by the decision to disqualify the Wayanad MP.

Paper leak case: KTR sends legal notice to Congress, BJP leaders

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana’s cabinet minister K.T. Rama Rao on Thursday sent legal notice to state Congress chief A. Revanth Reddy and BJP president Bandi Sanjay for making baseless allegations against him in the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leak case.
KTR said he sent legal notice to Congress and BJP leaders for dragging his name into the paper leak case to drive political mileage and defame the government.
The minister slammed both the leaders for being ignorant of the fact TSPSC is a Constitutional body and it works independently.
KTR said TSPSC was formed to independently conduct exams for recruitment of government employees with no role for the government but ignoring these facts, Bandi Sanjay and Revanth Reddy hatched a conspiracy by projecting as if the exams are conducted by the government.
The minister made it clear that he would not tolerate such cheap attempts to drag his name into the case for political mileage.
The BRS leader said with their ridiculous statements in the past both Bandi Sanjay and Revanth Reddy had become a laughing stock in the public.
KTR alleged that Congress and BJP were spreading lies with a conspiracy to stop the process of recruitment of employees.
He said the same leaders had earlier stated that the job notifications issued by the government are a conspiracy and had appealed to youth to leave the exams and join them in politics.

Telangana: KTR slams BJP for Mehul Choksi’s name drop from Interpol list

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao on Tuesday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party for the diamantaire Mehul Choksi’s removal from the Interpol database of Red Notices and asked if there was a ‘special exemption for fraudsters from Gujarat’.
He tweeted and said that “Modi hai toh mumkin hai” alleging that prime minister Narendra Modi was behind the letting off of Choksi.
Referring to a video clip where the prime minister was seen addressing Mehul Choksi as “Hamare Mehul Bhai”, the Telangana minister tweeted, “Mehul Choksi Bhai, Yet Another cousin of Raja Satya Harishchandra who only committed a small bank fraud of ₹13,500 Crore given an NoC allowing him to travel Scot-free”
In a major setback to Indian probe agencies, the Interpol removed fugitive Mehul Choksi, accused of committing an Rs 11,356.84 crore loan fraud case with the Punjab National Bank (PNB), from its ‘red’ notice list.
Choksi was added to the red notice list in December 2018. As per sources, authorities concerned with the Indian government objected to the move of Interpol but it didn’t budge on the decision.
Is there a special exemption for All Fraudsters from Gujarat?

Telangana: Revanth alleges KTR aide’s involvement in TSPSC paper leak

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana unit Congress chief A. Revanth Reddy on Sunday alleged that the personal assistant of state minister for industries and information technology K.T. Rama Rao has played a key role in the question paper leak case that has rocked Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC)
He also alleged that KTR’s PA Tirupati has links with Rajasekhar Reddy, a contract employee of TSPSC and number two accused in the case.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president claimed that the paper leakage happened from KTR’s office.
He said the minister gave Rajasekhar Reddy a job in TSPSC on the recommendation of Tirupati.
Revanth Reddy, who is currently on Haath se haath jodo padyatra, sat on protest in Kamareddy district over the question paper leak.
He demanded the state government should immediately order a probe by a sitting judge of the High Court.
He also announced that he would take the issue of paper leakage to the High Court.
Stating that TSPSC employees are ineligible to attend the exams conducted by TSPSC, he wondered how 20 employees appeared in exams.

Praveen Kumar, an employee of the Commission, had appeared in the Group-I Prelims. He had scored 103 marks.
The Congress leader said in the past, TSPSC employee Rajinikanth was selected for Group-I post. He had secured fourth rank.
Revanth Reddy said that the probe should cover all those who scored more than 100 marks in Group-I Prelims. He said 100 candidates from one mandal scored more than 100 marks.
The TPCC chief said that there were irregularities in Group-I results in 2016. Madhuri, who had come from the US to write the exam, secured first rank, he said.
He also claimed that 25 candidates who wrote Group-II exam in one place secured jobs.
The TSPSC had conducted the examination on March 5 for 833 vacancies of Assistant Engineer, Municipal Assistant Engineer, Technical Officer, and Junior Technical Officer in various engineering departments. A total of 55,000 candidates had written the exam.
However, the Commission suspected leakage of the question paper and lodged a complaint with the police.
On March 13, police arrested nine persons including two employees of the TSPSC.
Following the arrest of the accused, the Commission cancelled the exam and also postponed other exams scheduled to be held later this month.
Amid doubts that the accused may have leaked question papers of some other exams, the Commission on Friday decided to cancel three other exams including Group I Prelims.
Nearly 2.86 lakh aspirants of Group I posts had appeared in Group-I exam conducted on October 16, 2022.

Telangana rains: KTR seeks crop damage report from officials

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: After the unexpected rains and hailstorm that devastated numerous sections of the Rajanna Sircilla district, Telangana IT and Municipal Administration minister KT Rama Rao directed authorities to submit agricultural damage reports.
KTR called district collector Anurag Jayanthi and asked him to submit a crop damage report.
The Minister directed that agricultural department personnel examine the damaged fields and write a report detailing the degree of the damage, the kind of crops destroyed by rains and hailstorms, and the number of farmers who lost their crops.
Crops cultivated on more than 20,000 acres of land were damaged following unseasonal rains, which coupled with hailstorms in various districts of Telangana.
Maize, green gram, papaya and mango and other crops, most of which were in flowering and ripening stages were destroyed by the hailstorm that lashed Telangana on Thursday and Friday.
According to Agriculture department officials, over 18,826 acres of maize, farmed by around 1,930 farmers, was damaged in the erstwhile Khammam district alone.
The horticulture officer in the Kothaguydam district, J Mariyanna said that papaya crops worth Rs 10 lakh were damaged while chilli and paddy farmers also suffered losses too.
In addition to the above, Mango trees were affected in the Madapur village of Ganneruvaram Mandal.

However, the damage was comparatively less in the Karimnagar district, with maize and paddy flattened in several places.
Horticulture officer Sunitha said that the intensity of the damage is heavy in Kohir Mandal.
Agriculture minister Niranjan Reddy along with Education minister Sabitha Indra Reddy and Rythu Bandhu head Rajeshwar Reddy took off from Begumpet Airport to conduct a survey of the cultivated areas affected in Vikarabad district.
The minister reminded that scientists have been advising farmers to harvest their Rabi crop a month in advance to avoid the risk of their being damaged by hailstorms, a situation recurring every March and April.
Niranjan Reddy further said that farmers in some parts of Nizamabad, Kamareddy, Bodhan and Suryapet have been following the advice of scientists about advancing their crop cycle by a month and that in all workshops farmers were informed the same by agricultural officials.
“Cabbage, onion, maize, watermelon and capsicum crops were largely damaged in the 13 villages under the Mominpet and Marpally mandals of the Vikarabad district by the hailstorm,” added the minister.
Interestingly, Niranjan Reddy said that he was yet to receive reports of crop damage in other parts of the state.

13 exam paper leaks in Gujarat in last 8 yrs, will Bandi ask for Modi’s resignation?: KTR

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: BRS working president and IT & Industries Minister KT Rama Rao has slammed BJP state chief Bandi Sanjay over the TSPSC paper leak issue, saying that the former made ‘unfounded accusations’ against the state government without knowing that TSPSC is a constitutional body and the state has a limited role to play.
“This demonstrates the level of his ignorance,” KTR remarked.
KTR delivered a press statement here on Friday warning that Sanjay would soon be prosecuted for his ‘political plots’. He admonished the BJP leaders to refrain from ‘politicking’ the situation for their own personal advantage.
The BRS working president stated that by attributing one person’s error to the entire TSPSC, the BJP was attempting to incite ‘unrest’ among the youth who were out of jobs. Rama Rao recalled that Bandi Sanjay had made an appeal to the youth to quit their employment and cease studying for exams in order to campaign for the BJP.
The minister added that the saffron party lacked ‘moral standing’ to cast doubt on the BRS government’s resolve to help the unemployed and that there had been countless instances of paper leaks in numerous BJP-ruled states.
“In Gujarat, the state of Narendra Modi, 13 exam papers have been stolen during the past eight years. Does Bandi Sanjay have the guts to ask for Modi’s resignation?” he asked.
“How the government responds to an issue when it emerges is essential,” Rama Rao remarked, recalling how, as soon as the paper leak issue surfaced, the state government acted quickly, formed an SIT, and detained all the offenders.
“Although the occurrence was regrettable, the TSPSC has decided to cancel the Group-1 preliminary examinations in order to uphold justice and consider the future of all qualified candidates,” he said.

He reassured Telangana’s youth and students were reassured that they didn’t need to be concerned about the recruitment process.
He added that the BRS government had already demonstrated its commitment to the unemployed youth by filling up vacant positions and that the state government would take all necessary steps to achieve justice for each and every unemployed youth in the state.
“The State government established a new zonal system, unique to the rest of the nation, with the aspirational goal of delivering 95% of the jobs for Telangana’s youth as evidence of its dedication to their welfare,” he said.
He stated that Bandi Sanjay has previously used a similar style of irrational personal accusation in relation to the Intermediate exams without possessing even a basic understanding of how the government functions.

They allegedly transferred the 25 papers into a pen drive from the computer and later handed it over to Renuka and her husband Dhakya, who paid them Rs 5 lakh initially on March 2 and another Rs 5 lakh on March 6. Dhakya on getting the papers informed about it Rajeshwar Nayak, his relative who tried to make money, contacted Neelesh and Gopal, who were appearing for the exam, and discussed the possibility of striking a deal for the leaked exam question paper.
“After fixing the deal for Rs 13.5 lakh, Rajeshwar, and Dhakya handed over the question paper to Neelesh and Gopal who appeared for the exam. Both Srinivas, a constable working at Medchal police station, and Rajendra had helped the candidates,” DCP (Southwest) Kiran Khare said.

If PM Modi was nominated, India could have won one more Oscar: KTR

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana industries minister and BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Wednesday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi by saying that India could have won one more Oscar award if the PM was nominated under the best actor category.
Speaking on the Oscar win by the RRR movie team for the ‘Naatu Naatu’ song, the BRS leader mocked the Prime Minister for being a ‘great actor’ for making promises like delivering Rs 15 lakh to every Indian’s bank account.
He also said that the Prime Minister is ‘looting’ the country for the sake of Adani. He also called the BJP the ‘misfortune’ for Telangana.
KTR made these remarks during a public meeting held at the Jukkal constituency in Kamareddy district.
“What did the Congress do for the state in the last 55 years? Why should a chance be given to leaders who haven’t done anything when they had the chance? The BJP had also promised many things for Telangana during the bifurcation like the Kajipet coach factory and the Bayyaram steel plant but has terribly failed in delivering them. Alas, they still come here and speak shamelessly,” he remarked.
The minister also attacked PM Modi-led centre for a hike in the LPG prices. “Centre increased the petrol price from Rs 70 to Rs 115 per litre. The gas cylinder is now Rs 1200 from the earlier Rs 400. Prices of all essential commodities went up. So, is Modi God for doing all these injustices? He is only God to Adani but not for the people of Telangana,” KTR said.
Earlier, KTR laid the foundation stone for Nagamadugu lift irrigation project and also inaugurated a bridge built on the Manjeera river.
