PM Modi to lay foundation for Secunderabad railway station redevelopment project today

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the redevelopment of the Secunderabad railway station in Telangana on Saturday.
PM Modi will embark on a Telangana visit on Saturday.
According to Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the redevelopment of Secunderabad Railway Station, at a cost of Rs 720 crore, will involve a major makeover with world-class amenities and an aesthetically designed iconic station building.

The redeveloped station would have a double-level spacious roof plaza with all passenger amenities in one place along with multimodal connectivity for providing seamless transfer of passengers from rail to other modes among others, read a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
He will flag off Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express at Secunderabad Railway Station.
The Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express, connecting IT City, Hyderabad with the Abode of Lord Venkateswara, Tirupati, is the second Vande Bharat train to be started from Telangana within a short span of three months. The train will reduce the travel time between the two cities by almost three-and-a-half hours and will be particularly beneficial for passengers on pilgrimage.
During the programme, Prime Minister Modi will flag off 13 new Multi-Modal Transport Service (MMTS) services in the suburban section of the Hyderabad-Secunderabad twin city region, providing commuters with a fast, convenient and comfortable commuting option.
He will also inaugurate the doubling and electrification of the Secunderabad-Mahabubnagar project. The project stretching for a distance of over 85 km has been completed at a cost of nearly Rs 1,410 crore. The project will provide seamless connectivity and assist in enhancing the average speed of trains, informed the PMO through its statement.

Later in the day, Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for AIIMS Bibinagar at the public programme at Parade Ground in Hyderabad. AIIMS Bibinagar is being built at a cost of more than Rs 1,350 crore.
The establishment of AIIMS Bibinagar is an important milestone in providing comprehensive, quality and holistic tertiary care health services to the people of Telangana at their doorstep, said the PMO statement.
During the programme, PM Modi will also lay the foundation stone of National Highway projects worth more than Rs 7,850 crore. These road projects will strengthen the road connectivity of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh while also contributing to the socio-economic development of the region.

‘Parivar welcomes you Modi Ji’ hoardings come up in Hyderabad

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival in Hyderabad, hoardings have come up in the city taking a dig at BJP over dynasty politics and corruption.
“Parivar welcomes you Modi Ji,” reads a huge hoarding put up by the ruling BRS on Friday.
The hoarding has pictures of dozens of BJP leaders whose parents or children are into politics. These include Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Piyush Goyal, Dharmendra Pradhan, Kiren Rijiju and Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Another hoarding mocks the Prime Minister over corruption. “BJP achievements welcome to Modi Ji,” reads the hoarding with a map of India, highlighting corruption scandals involving BJP leaders in various states.
Since Modi often targets Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao over family rule and corruption, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) this time launched a counter attack ahead of his visit.
The Prime Minister is arriving in Hyderabad on Saturday to launch various infrastructure projects. He is also scheduled to address a public meeting.
He will inaugurate or lay the foundation stone for projects worth over Rs 11,300 crore.
Modi will visit Secunderabad Railway Station to flag off Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express.

He will lay the foundation stone for new blocks at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bibinagar and also launch various railway and highway projects.
The city had also witnessed poster wars during Modi’s earlier visit to the city.
The BRS had mocked him over fuel price hike, demonetisation and failure to fulfill the commitments made to Telangana.

Aurangabad violence: AIMIM MP writes to PM Modi, seeks enquiry by retd judge

[ad_1]
Aurangabad: Aurangabad MP Imtiaz Jaleel has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking inquiry by a retired High Court judge into the violence witnessed in the city ahead of Ram Navami.
A mob went on a rampage and set fire to 13 police vehicles in Aurangabad’s Kiradpura area on the intervening night of March 29 and 30.
The incident just ahead of the festival could have had disastrous repercussions in the country, the AIMIM leader said in the letter sent through the Aurangabad district collector and released to the media on Friday.

Jaleel also questioned why CCTV footage of the incident was not available when the entire city has been covered by a CCTV network under the Smart City project.
There were many unanswered questions which create suspicion that it was a planned clash, and hence the prime minister should ask the Maharashtra government to conduct an inquiry through a retired high court judge, the letter said.

Hyderabad: KCR to skip receiving PM Modi again

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will once again skip receiving Prime Minister Narendra Modi when the latter arrives here on April 6 to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for various projects.
The state government on Thursday named Animal Husbandry Minister T. Srinivas Yadav as minister-in-waiting for the Prime Minister’s visit, and he will receive Modi on his arrival at Begumpet Airport.
This is the fifth time in the last 14 months that the Chief Minister will not be receiving the Prime Minister on the latter’s visit to the state.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to flag off Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express at Secunderabad railway station and later attend a public meeting at Parade Ground to inaugurate or lay foundation stone for various projects worth over Rs 11,300 crore.
The latest visit by Modi comes at a time when Telangana police have arrested state BJP President and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar in 10th class question paper leak case.
After Sanjay’s dramatic arrest late on Tuesday night, he was sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
BJP leaders have alleged that Sanjay was arrested deliberately on the eve of the PM’s visit.
KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, had not received Modi when he had arrived on November 12, 2022 to dedicate Ramagundam fertiliser plant to the nation.

The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) had taken exception to the PMO not extending a proper invitation to the Chief Minister.
Earlier, KCR had skipped welcoming Modi on July 2 when the latter had arrived for BJP’s National Executive meet.
In May, KCR had avoided welcoming Modi when the latter was in Hyderabad to attend 20th annual celebrations of the Indian School of Business (ISB).
Just before the Prime Minister’s arrival, the Chief Minister flew to Bengaluru to call on former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda.
In February last year, KCR had stayed away from receiving Modi on his visit to the city to unveil the statue of equality.
This had evoked strong reaction from BJP leaders, who alleged that the Chief Minister is insulting the office of the Prime Minister.

SSC paper leak: Telangana BJP chief compares self to PM Modi in open letter

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Stating that his arrest in the Class 10 examination paper leakage was part of the ‘larger conspiracy’ by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi government led by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandi Sanjay on Thursday said such conspiracies would not demoralise the party and the cadre.
“Arresting me and harassing the BJP workers were like hitting the ball to the ground. We shall only bounce back with the same force,” Sanjay said in an open letter to the party leaders and cadre on the occasion of the BJP foundation day celebrations.
The letter was released through Sanjay’s brother Bandi Sravan Kumar, who called on him in Karimnagar jail in the morning, the saffron party said.

The BJP president said the BRS government had ‘foisted false cases’ against him only because he had taken up cudgels on behalf of 30 lakh unemployed youth who had suffered due to leakage of question papers of recruitment tests conducted by the Telangana State Public Service Commission, exposing the ‘failure of KCR’s son K T Rama Rao’, who holds the ‘responsibility’ for the same in the capacity of state IT minister.
“I am not new to facing cases, arrests, and imprisonments. I am ready to go to jail any number of times for the sake of people. My entire worry is about the future of 30 lakh unemployed youth, with whose lives the KCR government is playing. While his family members, party leaders, and cronies are getting plum positions, the unemployed youth who had fought for the formation of Telangana is being denied their legitimate right to get jobs,” he said.
Sanjay reminded that the BRS government had ‘taken the lives of 27 Intermediate students’ due to malpractices in spot valuation in the past and now, it was playing with the lives of Class 10 students.
“It was the BJP which had raised its voice in Parliament against sacrifices of youth during the movement for separate state. Now, it is the same BJP which is fighting for the cause of the unemployed and the students,” he remarked.
Stating that there is no question of succumbing to the conspiracies of KCR and giving up the fight, Sanjay recalled how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had withstood ‘similar conspiracies’ hatched by the previous rulers against him post-Godhra violence in Gujarat in the form of court cases and ‘malicious campaign’ in the media.

“Yet, Modi did not backtrack and bounced back to power to become the Prime Minister of the country with the support of party workers,” he said.
The BJP president regretted that he was not able to be present at the Prime Minister’s meeting at Hyderabad on April 8 and appealed to the party leaders to mobilise huge crowds including the unemployed youth to the rally and make it a success.
Sanjay said the time had come to uproot the corrupt KCR government which was caught ‘neck-deep in various scams’ such as illicit liquor trade, drug peddling, question paper leakages, gambling, and land encroachments.
“Since the BJP is exposing all these scams involving KCR’s son and daughter, the government is targeting me and throwing me behind the bars in false cases, so as to damage the image of the BJP,” he said.
“Wednesday’s arrest ‘drama’ was only to divert the attention of the people from the allegation made by senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai who disclosed that KCR had offered to bear the entire election expenditure of all the opposition parties in the country if he was made the chairman of opposition front,” he added.

PM Modi to launch projects worth Rs 11,300 cr in Hyderabad

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of projects worth over Rs 11,300 crore in Telangana on April 8.
During his two-hour visit to Hyderabad, he will also address a public meeting at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad.
As per the itinerary, Modi will reach Begumpet Airport at 11.30 a.m. He will then reach Secunderabad Railway Station to flag off Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express. This train is expected to reduce the travel time between the two cities by almost three and half hours and will be particularly beneficial for pilgrim passengers.

This is the second Vande Bharat train to be started from Telangana within three months. In January, the Prime Minister had virtually flagged off Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat.
After flagging off Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express, the Prime Minister will attend a public meeting at Parade Grounds, where he will lay the foundation stone for new blocks at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bibinagar.
Union Minister for tourism and culture G. Kishan Reddy, who is a member of the Lok Sabha from Secunderabad, said this would give a big boost to the health infrastructure in Telangana. The expansion and new facilities include academic blocks, auditoriums, staff quarters, hostels and guest houses.
The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone of the redevelopment of Secunderabad Railway Station, which is being taken at a cost of Rs 720 crore.

Assam BJP MLA urges PM Modi to demolish Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar

[ad_1]
Guwahati: As the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) revised its books for various classes, including the Class 12 History textbook by omitting the chapters on the Mughal empire, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator from Assam on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to demolish monuments such as Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar.
“I urge the Prime Minister to immediately demolish the Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar. In place of these two monuments, the world’s most beautiful temples should be built. The architecture of those two temples should be such that no other monuments could be even closer to them,” the legislator said.
Kurmi further said that he is ready to donate at least his one-and-a-half year’s salary for construction of the temples.

The latest change would apply to all the schools in the country that follow the syllabus of the NCERT.
The NCERT said that the changes will be applicable from the current academic session — 2023-2024.
Notably, in the latest changes in the Class 12 syllabus, the chapters related to the Mughal Empire were omitted from History textbooks by NCERT, while a few poems and paragraphs were also removed from the Hindi book.
The “Themes of Indian History-Part II” textbook’s chapters on the Mughal Court, monarchs, and their history have been eliminated from the updated curriculum.
It is to be mentioned that Rupjyoti Kurmi, four-time MLA and once an ardent critic of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, switched from the Congress to the BJP in June 2021.

He earlier won the Mariani assembly seat on Congress ticket.
After joining the BJP, Kurmi was re-elected to the Assembly from the same constituency.

Modi in Hyderabad: Vande Bharat, AIIMS & public meet key events on PM’s visit

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The BJP’s preparations for Telangana Assembly elections scheduled later this year are likely to get a boost with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Hyderabad on April 8 during which he is expected to address a public meeting and launch various development projects.
The BJP leaders expect that PM Modi’s visit will boost their morale in the runup to the Assembly elections. The party expects that he will set the tone for the party’s poll campaign.
The Prime Minister is expected to launch an attack on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government for its various acts of omissions and commissions.

PM Modi is likely to target BRS and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao over corruption, especially in the wake of questioning of his daughter K. Kavitha by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.
He is also likely to hit out at the BRS government over the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leak, which has heated up state politics.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also taken up state-wide protests over the paper leak, alleging involvement of KCR’s son and state minister K.T. Rama Rao.
The Telangana unit of the BJP has huge expectations from PM Modi’s visit in view of his recent statement about the state.
“In the south, we have always been strong in Karnataka and in Telangana, people now have confidence only in one party, BJP, and in Andhra Pradesh also people are looking towards us,” Modi had said on March 28 while inaugurating the residential complex of the party in Delhi.

Modi will be launching various railway projects at Secunderabad Railway Station and later a public meeting at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad.
Union Minister for Tourism and Culture G. Kishan Reddy along with state BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar and party MP K. Laxman on Tuesday visited Secunderabad Railway Station and Parade Grounds to take stock of the preparations for the Prime Minister’s visit.
Kishan Reddy, who is also an MP from Secunderabad, said the PM would lay the foundation stone for the re-development of Secunderabad Railway Station. The station is being revamped at a cost of Rs 719 crore and will provide world-class railway infrastructure and amenities.
He will also lay the foundation stone of the new block of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at a cost of Rs 1,336 crore.
Kishan Reddy said this would give a big boost to health infrastructure in Telangana. The expansion and new facilities include academic blocks, auditorium, staff quarters, hostels and guest houses. The hospital block renovation is also underway.
Meanwhile, Telangana Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari on Tuesday reviewed arrangements for PM Modi’s visit. She instructed the officials to make foolproof arrangements.
Presiding over a coordination meeting, she said that all the departments have to work in close coordination and make the brief visit of the Prime Minister a success.
The police have to make adequate security arrangements, law and order, traffic and bandobast arrangements as per the blue book.
The fire department was asked to arrange adequate fire fighting equipment and fire tenders should be positioned at the venue. Medical staff, ambulances and other facilities should be kept ready at all the venues.
The Chief Secretary asked officials to repair roads to be used by the Prime Minister’s convoy. Uninterrupted power supply at all the venues should be ensured, she said.
DGP Anjani Kumar, senior police officers and officials from various departments including railways attended the meeting.
