Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy (File Photo)
Vijaywada: An aircraft carrying Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy made an emergency landing at Gannavaram airport on Monday evening, reportedly due to a technical snag.
The chartered aircraft in which the Chief Minister and senior officials were travelling to New Delhi returned to the airport, around 30 minutes after take-off.
The aircraft took off at 5.03 p.m. and returned to the tarmac at 5.27 p.m. It made a safe landing.
According to the Chief Minister’s Office, the pilot identified an AC valve leakage which led to a problem in the pressurisation system. This forced the pilot to return to the airport to ensure safety of the passengers.
The Chief Minister was on his way to the national capital to address diplomats and entrepreneurs in a curtain raise event related to the AP Global Investors Summit-2023.
After the aircraft returned to the Gannavaram airport, the Chief Minister left for official residence at Tadepalli.
The officials were making alternate arrangements for the Chief Minister, public representatives and officials to go to New Delhi on Monday night.

Two held for insulting national anthem in UP
Meerut (Uttar Pradesh), Jan 29 (IANS) Two youths have been arrested for allegedly insulting the national anthem in the Eidgah locality of Meerut district.
A purported video of the event showing them dancing while the national anthem is being played had gone viral on social media.
Station house officer of Railway Road police station, Sanjay Sharma, said, “Both the accused have been arrested. The investigation is on. A case has been registered against them under section 2 (Prevention of insults to national honour) of the Flag Code of India.”
Sachin Sirohi, former president of the Hindu Mahasabha, had lodged a complaint in this regard.

Amaravati: Jana Sena Party (JSP) President Pawan Kalyan on Thursday warned leaders against speaking for separate statehood to North Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh.
The actor-politician said that if someone speaks in separatist tones to split the state further, they would not see another extremist like him.
In his address at the Republic Day celebrations at the party office near Mangalagiri in Guntur district, he warned the leaders that if they speak of dividing the state further, this would have serious consequences.
Pawan Kalyan said it was unfortunate that Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao proposed statehood for the North Andhra districts while former minister Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy wanted a separate Rayalaseema state.
He asked these leaders to introspect what they had done for their respective regions, and explain how new states would help in achieving development.
The JSP leader alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) was stoking regional feelings to achieve its political objectives.
He exhorted people to raise a banner of revolt against the “draconian” government of the YSRCP by drawing inspiration from the youth of Telangana who had fought for separate state and achieved it in spite of many difficulties.
The actor told the partymen that he had not entered politics to become Chief Minister overnight. Stating that he has an ideology for the next 25 years, he made it clear that it will not change once in five years for elections.
He observed that the people of Andhra Pradesh were apparently obsessed with their castes more than the common good, which was the reason for other states stealing a march on it.
He alleged that law and order deteriorated due to the inefficiency of the government. He said the government ensured that no one dared to question its policies and actions by implicating people, mainly leaders of the opposition parties, in false cases.
He alleged that YSRCP cadres were behind the arson that had taken place in Amalapuram over the naming of Konaseema district after B.R. Ambedkar. It was a conspiracy to derive political mileage by driving a wedge between various castes, but nobody knew about the fate of this case, he said.
Pawan slammed Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for having no confidence in the state police. He said nothing has so far happened in the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder and the infamous ‘Kodi Kathi’ case.
Vivekananda Reddy, a former minister and uncle of Jagan Mohan Reddy, was murdered just before the 2019 elections.
‘Kodi Kathi” case relates to the attack on Jagan Mohan Reddy at Visakhapatnam Airport in 2018 by a youth with a knife used in cockfights.
Vijayawada: Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan on Wednesday said that ending the “devil’s rule” in Andhra Pradesh is the main objective of his Jana Sena Party (JSP)
After performing a special puja for his campaign vehicle ‘Varahi’ at the Kanaka Durga temple, he told mediapersons that from today onwards, “Varahi’s goal is to end the devil’s rule in the state”.
Terming the rule of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) as devil’s rule, he said that his foremost responsibility is to end it.
Accompanied by Nadendla Manohar and other JSP leaders, Pawan Kalyan participated in various rituals conducted by the priests.
Large number of JSP workers and Pawan Kalyan’s fans had gathered at the temple to welcome him.
The JSP leader, who performed puja for the campaign vehicle at two temples in Telangana on Tuesday, said that the people of two Telugu states should live with unity and develop and prosper.
After the puja, Pawan left for the JSP office at Mangalagiri in Varahi. A large number of people had gathered enroute to catch a glimpse of the actor.
His supporters showered petals on him and welcomed him with huge garlands. The procession led to a long traffic snarl on the Prakasam barrage.
He is scheduled to address party workers at the JSP office later in the day.
Gearing up for the 2024 electoral battle in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan had unveiled the specially designed vehicle last month which is equipped with high-security features and also has a public address system as well as CCTV cameras.
The four-wheeler will be used by the JSP leader to campaign across Andhra Pradesh, where elections are due in April-May 2024.
Power star, as the actor is popularly known, had planned to launch the state-wide tour after Dussehra but the same has been postponed and he is now likely to embark on a visit in next few weeks.
Badaun: A Dalit boy, aged 10 years, was allegedly killed by a group of upper caste men over a property dispute in Badaun district.

Will Himachal Pradesh keep selecting alternate government tradition alive or give another chance to Bhartiya Janata Party
Voting for 68 Assembly constituencies in Himachal Pradesh begins, CM Jai Ram Thakur casts his vote
Request all voters to participate with full enthusiasm in this festival of democracy, says PM Modi
The voting for the Himachal Pradesh elections has begun, with a two-pronged contest between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress. In the hill state, over 55.92 lakh voters will decide the fate of 412 candidates.
The upper areas of Himachal Pradesh have received new snowfall, lowering the temperature by several notches. 140 polling booths are snowbound in the tribal districts of Lahaul and Spiti, Kinnaur, and Chamba.
A total of 30,000 security personnel, including 67 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), have been deployed throughout the state to ensure the peaceful conduct of the election.
The state has 7,884 voting locations, with 7,235 in rural areas and 646 in urban areas. Polling will continue until 5:30 p.m. today, and votes will be counted alongside Gujarat on December 8.
The ruling BJP has expressed confidence in returning to power based on performance, while the Congress hopes that voters will continue the history of alternate governments.
In the 2017 assembly elections, the BJP won 44 seats, the Congress 21, two were won by independents, and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) gained one seat by fielding candidates in 11 assembly divisions.
In its manifesto, the opposition Congress promised the restoration of the previous pension scheme, 300 units of free electricity, the establishment of a commission for the youth to look into their issues of education and job creation, as well as financial aid of Rs 1500 to women.
Meanwhile, the BJP is vying for a second term, promising to adopt the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), 33 percent reservation for women in government employment, five new medical institutes in the state, and cycles for girl students in classes 6 to 12.

Several state and local Congress leaders, including Dharampal Thakur Khand, the former general secretary of the Pradesh Congress Committee, joined the BJP on Monday, just days before the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections.
With four days left before the vote, a total of 26 leaders of the opposition Congress party defected and joined the governing BJP, news agency ANI reported.
With less than a week till voting, this comes as a huge shock to the Congress party.
The leaders left the boat in front of Chief Minister Jairam Thakur and the BJP’s Sudhan Singh, who was in charge of the party’s state elections. Sanjay Sood, a Shimla-based BJP candidate, was also present.
All BJP members were cordially welcomed by Chief Minister Jairam Thakur.
Let’s cooperate to ensure the BJP’s historic win, he urged.
Prior to the Himachal assembly elections, BJP national president JP Nadda professed confidence in the party’s victory and said that the state’s residents have faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He praised Chief Minister Jairam Thakur for leading the election-bound state and said that he put policies into practise.
In his comments to the media in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, he said, “In Solan, we’re running a public outreach programme. People are enthusiastic and trust PM Modi. State policies have been put into practise by CM Jairam Thakur.”
Voting in Himachal will take place on November 12; the results will be tallied on December 8.

Less than a week before the Himachal Pradesh election, the ruling BJP made a contentious promise on Sunday that if the party is re-elected, it will implement the Uniform Civil Code, which will do away with religion-specific laws, NDTV reported.
Because a civil code is usually thought to be the domain of the central government rather than a state, the opposition has criticised the move, which was also promised in Gujarat, which holds elections next month, as merely a gimmick to shore up votes of the Hindu majority.
The BJP in Himachal Pradesh has promised to conduct “surveys” of Waqf properties, which are Islamic estates provided for charitable or religious purposes, to look for any illicit activity. The action, which was implemented in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh in September, drew criticism for its polarising intent.
The Goods and Services Tax, or GST, on packaging for the state’s important apple crop, will be reduced from 18% to 12%, according to the BJP’s manifesto. There will also be a 33% reservation for women in government jobs, as well as a promise to create 8 lakh “job opportunities” in five years.
Released by Himalayan state native and BJP president JP Nadda, it also included promises of scooters for college girls and five new medical institutions, as well as bicycles for female students in Classes 6 through 12.
The party also promised to increase the ex-gratia payment for martyrs, open five new medical institutions in the state, and, if re-elected, provide a Rs 900 crore corpus for start-ups in the state under the HIM start-up scheme, according to Indian Express.
In keeping with the promise made in Gujarat, Mr. Nadda stated that the state will create a committee to implement a uniform civil code.
Along with Gujarat, where voting will take place in two phases on December 1 and 5, the 68-member Himachal Pradesh Assembly election will take place on November 12 with results anticipated on December 8.
Every election, the BJP and Congress have often alternated winning Himachal Pradesh; this is a tradition that the ruling party would like to break as Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party makes an attempt to enter the state.
Additionally, he criticised the Saturday-released Congress manifesto, saying it lacked both vision and weight.

Shyam Saran Negi, the country’s first voter, passed away on November 5, 2022, at his residence in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh. He was 106.
Using a postal ballot for the first time, Negi exercised his right to vote on November 2 for the assembly elections of the state that would take place on November 12. Negi had never missed an opportunity to vote in his life. Given the harsh winters and early snowfall in Kinnaur, it was decided to hold the vote there on October 25, 1951, when the first general elections were announced in the country. In contrast, elections were held in other regions of the country in January and February of 1952, according to Times of India.
स्वतंत्र भारत के पहले मतदाता एवं किन्नौर से संबंध रखने वाले श्याम सरन नेगी जी के निधन की खबर सुनकर दुःखी हूं।
उन्होंने अपना कर्तव्य निभाते हुए 34वीं बार बीते 2 नवंबर को ही विधानसभा चुनाव के लिए अपना पोस्टल वोट डाला, यह याद हमेशा भावुक करेगी।
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur expressed his condolences for the passing on Twitter and said it would always make him sad to think that Mr. Negi exercised his right to do so despite being ill.
After the election two days prior, Kinnaur Deputy Commissioner Abid Hussian Sadiq honored the centenarian at his home.
Mr. Negi was the brand ambassador for the Election Commission. His funeral will be attended by district election officials, according to Himachal Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Maneesh Garg.
