  • PM Modi visited Telangana five times, but KCR didn’t receive him even once: BJP leader

    PM Modi visited Telangana five times, but KCR didn’t receive him even once: BJP leader

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Former Member of Legislative Council and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader N Ramchander Rao on Saturday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Telangana five times in 14 months but Chief Minister of the state K Chandrasekhar Rao received him not even once.

    Talking to ANI, Rao said, “In the last 14 months PM visited the state five times and not even a single time CM received the PM as per the protocol.”

    “The CM of Telangana is not behaving according to the status and stature and not following the protocol of the state. CMs like Pinarayi Vijayan of Kerala and MK Stalin of Tamil Nadu are also politically and ideologically opposed. But they both have the humility to receive PM Modi as per the protocol though they are politically opposed to BJP”, Rao added.

    He said that the people of Telangana will teach KCR a lesson. “Earlier Rajiv Gandhi and NTR had bitter political differences, yet NT Rama Rao came to receive Rajiv Gandhi. That is the political culture a democracy requires. Today the behaviour of CM is deplorable, and condemnable and Telangana people are being insulted by CM KCR. The people in Telangana will teach him a lesson”, he said.

    Earlier in a veiled attack on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao-led government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Telangana needs to be very careful of people who nurture dynastic rule, nepotism and corruption.

    Prime Minister Modi said he was pained at the non-cooperation of state government in the Centre’s projects.

    Addressing a gathering at Parade Ground, Hyderabad, PM Modi said, “Serving people with utmost devotion is our primary goal. But I am very pained about one thing… It hurts a lot when the development and welfare measures by the central government do not fructify well due to hindrances posed by state governments. This has been happening in Telangana.”

    In the programme at Parade Ground, Hyderabad, PM Modi laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Secunderabad Railway Station and other infrastructure projects.

    He said due to the lack of cooperation from the state government, many central projects were getting delayed and it is the people who are the ultimate sufferers.

    He said the state government should not allow any hindrance to development projects.

    “I appeal to the Telangana government to not allow any obstruction to development measures, not make the people of Telangana the victims, not to deprive the state of prosperity,” he added.

    Attacking the ruling BRS in Telangana without taking names, PM Modi said dynasty politics and corruption are not different. He said corruption flourishes where dynasty politics prevails.

    Prime Minister Modi said, “In today’s new India, it is our priority to fulfil the aspirations of the countrymen. But a handful of people are very agitated by these development works. People, who keep nurturing dynastic rule, nepotism and corruption, are irked by those who work honestly. They are not concerned with the interest of the country and society. Such people only like to see their families flourishing. Telangana needs to be very careful about such people.”

    He said the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government has been dedicated to fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of Telangana’s people.

    “In the last nine years, around 70 km of the Metro network has been laid in Hyderabad only,” the PM said.

    He said Telangana is reaping the benefits of the efforts being taken to modernise railways in the entire country.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Hyderabad on Saturday. He was received by Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy at Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad. Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Bandi Sanjay was also at the airport.

    Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao did not receive PM Modi at the airport. Instead, the CM deputed state minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav to welcome the Prime Minister at Begumpet airport in his absence.

    The Telangana CM also skipped Prime Minister Modi’s programme in the state on Saturday. Chief Minister KCR was invited following the protocol.

    KCR’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has been at loggerheads with the BJP, which is trying to make political and electoral inroads into Telangana. Assembly election in the state is due this year.

    KCR, on the other hand, is trying to expand his party to other states as part of its national ambitions.

    Last year, KCR renamed his party – the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) – to Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), marking the first step toward becoming a national party to counter the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. He was also seen putting in efforts to unite the opposition parties for a united fight against BJP in next year’s general elections.

    Modi in Hyderabad: YS Sharmila demands fulfilment of bifurcation promises

    Hyderabad: While Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Hyderabad, YSRTP chief Y S Sharmila demanded the fulfilment of long-pending bifurcation promises.

    Appealing to the Prime Minister to announce funds for the state and various projects, the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Telangana Party chief said, “It has been nine years but the bifurcation issues and promises have not been addressed to date.”

    “The annual budgets of the NDA government don’t bother to cater sufficient funds to Telangana and its projects,” added Sharmila.

    Sharmila tweeted, “We have been tirelessly fighting against Kaleshwaram project corruption. The BJP leaders themselves termed the project as an ATM for KCR but have not taken any action or initiated any investigation. We have complained to the CAG and CBI but of no use. We expect concrete steps in this regard, where you rise above your political interests.”

    Taking a dig at the Telangana chief minister, Sharmila said, “We know KCR has no guts to question PM Modi on the pending projects and promises. His party’s fight is limited to social media and comments made in the farmhouse.”

    “YSR Telangana Party committed to the wellbeing of Telangana will continue to question those who are responsible and accountable for the progress of the state,” added Sharmila.

    “It is the fastest train between the two cities with a travel time of 5 hours and 50 minutes, saving more than an hour of journey time,” an official release said.

    “The wonderful cities of Chennai and Coimbatore have even better connectivity thanks to the Vande Bharat Express. Flagged off the train and also met young friends on the occasion,” the PM later tweeted.

  • Government working to fulfil Swami Vivekananda’s visions: Modi

    Government working to fulfil Swami Vivekananda’s visions: Modi

    [ad_1]

    Chennai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the government is working to fulfil the visions of Swami Vivekananda.

    Speaking at the 125th anniversary of the Sri Ramakrishna Math at the Vivekananda House here, Modi said “Swami Vivekananda’s vision was to have faith in ourselves and our governance philosophy is inspired by Swamiji”.

    Swami Vivekananda had said that the society progresses whenever privileges are broken and equality is ensured, and the same vision is there in all the flagship programmes of the government, the Prime Minister said.

    MS Education Academy

    “Earlier, even basic facilities were treated like privileges and many people were denied the fruit of progress. Only a small group was allowed access to it. However, the situation has changed, for instance the Mudra Yojana that is celebrating its eighth anniversary on Saturday,” he said.

    According to the Prime Minister, Tamil Nadu is a leader in Mudra Yojana with nearly 38 crore collateral free loans given to small entrepreneurs.

    Similarly, electricity, toilets, houses, cooking gas and other facilities are being made available to all, Modi said.

    Citing many experts saying this is India’s century, Modi said the country now engages with the world from the position of confidence and with mutual respect.

    On women’s empowerment, Modi said India believes in women-led development.

    Swami Vivekananda believed that sports and fitness are important for a person’s character development and in India, Yoga and Fit India have become mass movements, he said.

    On the education side, Modi said the New Education Policy brought in by the government has ushered in new reforms.

    “If 140 crore Indians focus on the five ideas – goal of a developed India, removing any traces of colonial mindset, celebrating heritage, strengthening unity and focusing on our duties – there will be an inclusive India by 2047,” Modi said.

    The Prime Minister also said the Ramakrishna Math has played an important role in his life and he respects the institution deeply.

    Quoting Tamil Saint Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukural, Modi said that in this world and in the world of Gods, there is nothing like kindness and the Ramakrishna Math embodies that and is serving Tamil Nadu in the fields of education, healthcare, and rural development, among others.

    Modi also said that he loves the vibe of Chennai, Tamil language and culture.

    While the Math came to Chennai later, what came first was the impact of Tamil Nadu on Swami Vivekananda as while meditating on the famous rock in Kanyakumari, he had discovered the purpose of his life, Modi said.

    “After Vivekananda’s visit to the western countries, he first set foot on the holy sand of Tamil Nadu. Though he hailed from Bengal, he was welcomed in Tamil Nadu like a hero which in turn signifies that India is one,” the Prime Minister said.

    When Swamiji came to Chennai, 17 victory arches were erected and for a week the life in the city came to a standstill and it was like a festival, Modi said.

    Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi and other dignitaries took part in the event.

  • Modi came to spill poison: BRS slams PM’s claims that Telangana is non-cooperative

    Modi came to spill poison: BRS slams PM’s claims that Telangana is non-cooperative

    jobs in telangana

    Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and state finance minister T Harish Rao said that PM Narendra Modi came to Telangana not to lay the foundation stone for development projects but to spill poison.

    Reacting to Modi’s statements about the state’s non-cooperation with Central projects, Harish said “Every word is far from the truth. Playing so many lies as the Prime Minister is worth it to him.”

    “It is ridiculous for Modi to say that the state government is not cooperating with the Centre. Actually, the situation is reversed. Centre is not giving any support to Telangana by not sanctioning a tribal university, railway coach factory, Bayyaram steel industry, medical colleges, and nursing colleges,” Harish Rao said.

    MS Education Academy

    The minister said that Modi’s ‘Parivarvaad’ claims were to divert people’s attention from the Adani issue.

    “Since the formation of Telangana, Aasara pension and Rythu Bandhu has been directly deposited in the beneficiary’s account. It is a big lie to say that Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) started because of him,” said the finance minister.

    He said that the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme is a copy of Rythu Bandhu. “It is a shame to claim that farmers benefited for the first time because of the PM Kisan scheme. How much of a help is the scheme compared to Rythu Bandhu?” added Harish Rao.

    “Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) has been moved to Bangalore, an arbitration centre was set up in Gujarat immediately after Telangana did it and farmers were troubled while rice grains were not purchased from Telangana. Is it not your government that has done all this?” Harish Rao asked Modi.

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday appealed to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao-led BRS Government to not allow any obstruction in development being planned for the people of the state, as he expressed ‘pain’ at the alleged non-cooperation of the ruling dispensation towards central initiatives aimed at the southern state.

    Speaking at a public meeting here, Modi without mentioning any names, said a handful of people encouraging ‘parivarvaad’ (dynastic politics) are trying to see where they can reap benefits from projects being implemented for the people of Telangana.

    “I appeal to the state government to not allow any obstruction in developments being planned for Telangana people,” he said.

    “Handful of people who encourage ‘parivarvaad’ are trying to see where they can reap benefits from projects being implemented for the people of Telangana,” the PM added.

    He said Parivarvaad’ and corruption are not different and the latter begins to grow where there is ‘parivarvaad.

    ‘Parivarvaad’ was looting even the ration given to the poor people in Telangana, he alleged and stressed the state’s progress was important for overall national growth.

    Modi said due to the covid pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, the world was witnessing ups and downs in the economy, but amid this uncertainty India was one of the countries which was investing record amount on infrastructure modernisation.

    He said Rs 10 lakh crore was allotted for infrastructure modernisation in this year’s budget.
