Centre must change attitude towards agriculture: Niranjan Reddy in Kerala

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana agriculture minister Singireddy Niranjan Reddy at a conference in Trivandrum on “Developing value chain in agricultural products” said that CM K Chandrashekar Rao’s (KCR) pro-agriculture policies are reason for the state’s success.
At Yiga 2023 held in Kerala’s capital, Reddy said that Telangana government prioritises agriculture first and 65 lakh farmers in the state are working on 50 lakh acres across the state. He further said that agriculture contributes to 18.2% of state’s GDP.
“Telangana’s agriculture sector is at the top of the country as a result of the policies followed in the last nine years. In the last two terms, the state government has focused on large-scale peasant agriculture and hence agricultural production has increased significantly.”
Reddy claimed that even young people are attracted towards agriculture as an employment sector.
Discussing future course of action, Reddy said that there is a need to divide the country into crop colonies. In order to make agriculture profitable, the Centre should cultivate its commitment to the agriculture sector and change its attitude.

Vivekananda Reddy murder case: Kadapa MP appears before CBI

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP from Kadapa, Y.S. Avinash Reddy on Friday appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning in former Andhra Pradesh minister, Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s murder case.
Avinash Reddy, a cousin of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, appeared before the CBI officials in Hyderabad. He was reportedly being questioned in the presence of his lawyer.
This is the second time that the Lok Sabha member from Kadapa is being questioned by the central agency in the case.
Vivekananda Reddy, who was found murdered at his house in Kadapa district in 2019, was paternal uncle of Jaganmohan Reddy and Avinash Reddy.
The CBI officials questioned Avinash Reddy for more than four-and-a-half hours on January 28.
Avinash Reddy’s father Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy was also summoned by the CBI on Thursday, but he has sought more time from the agency.
The questioning of the MP assumed significance in the wake of an affidavit filed by the CBI in Telangana High Court two days ago while opposing the bail petition of Sunil Yadav, one of the accused.
The investigating agency stated that Avinash Reddy, his father Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy and their follower D. Siva Sankar Reddy had hatched a criminal conspiracy to kill Vivekananda Reddy over conflicting political ambitions.

The CBI submitted to the court that the trio used other accused Yerra Gangi Reddy, Sunil Yadav, Dastagiri and others who worked for Vivekananda Reddy to execute the murder plot.
Avinash Reddy and Bhaskar Reddy had a grouse against Vivekananda Reddy as the latter was opposed to YSRCP fielding Avinash as the party candidate from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency. The former minister wanted Jagan Mohan Reddy to field his sister Y.S. Sharmila or mother Y.S. Vijayamma.
The CBI claimed that Rs 40 crore was offered to the other accused to carry out the murder.
The investigating agency also stated in its counter that Vivekananda Reddy was not happy with his brother Bhaskar Reddy and nephew Avinash Reddy as they had sabotaged his chances in the MLC election in 2017 in Kadapa. Avinash and his father wanted Siva Sankar as MLC candidate, but when Jagan Mohan Reddy fielded Vivekananda, the trio ensured he was defeated.
Vivekananda Reddy was the younger brother of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, father of Jagan Mohan Reddy.
He was found murdered mysteriously at his residence at Pulivendula in Kadapa district on March 15, 2019, a month ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The 68-year-old former state minister and former MP was alone at his house when unidentified persons barged in and killed him. He was killed hours before he was to launch the YSR Congress Party’s election campaign in Kadapa.
Though three Special Investigation Teams (SITs) conducted the probe they failed to solve the mystery.
The CBI took over the investigation into the case in 2020 on the direction of Andhra Pradesh High Court while hearing a petition of Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Sunitha Reddy, who raised suspicion about some relatives.
The CBI filed a charge sheet in the murder case on October 26, 2021 and followed it up with a supplementary charge sheet on January 31, 2022
In November last year, the Supreme Court transferred to a CBI court in Hyderabad the trial and probe into the larger conspiracy behind the murder. The apex court observed that doubts raised by Sunitha Reddy about getting a fair trial and investigation in Andhra Pradesh were reasonable.

Delimitation in Telangana likely in 2031: Kishan Reddy

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: There is no immediate proposal to increase the number of assembly constituencies in Telangana by re-demarcation, Union Tourism and Culture Minister G Kishan Reddy has said. The central government has not made any plans to increase the assembly constituencies on the demand of the BRS government.
The Telangana government has asked the Centre to increase the existing 119 seats to 153 under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. However, Kishan Reddy has said that as a result of the division of the state, there was no need to increase assembly seats. Assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir were redrawn because there was no demarcation in Kashmir when delimitation was going on in the country.
The Telangana government cited the example of Jammu and Kashmir and demanded an increase in seats. Kishan Reddy says constitutional amendments are needed to increase assembly seats in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. And this will be possible only after the new census in 2026. He said the increase in assembly seats in the two Telugu states is likely in 2031.

Telangana: Kishan Reddy dares KCR for debate on Indian economy

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Union minister for Tourism and Culture G. Kishan Reddy on Monday said that he is ready for a debate with Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on the country’s economy.
Reacting strongly to CM KCR’s speech made in the state Assembly on Sunday, the central minister alleged that he insulted the country and its hardworking people through his baseless comments.
“We are ready for debate. Will you come to Press Club or martyrs’ memorial or want us to come to Pragati Bhavan or your farmhouse,” asked Kishan Reddy.
The BJP leader also wanted to know from the chief minister if he would come with his resignation letter in his pocket.
Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the most inefficient Prime Minister the country has seen, KCR had reeled out statistics to say that the country is lagging on various economic parameters. The chief minister had said that if the statistics given by him proved wrong he was ready to resign.
Talking to reporters in New Delhi on Monday, Kishan Reddy remarked that KCR will anyway have to resign after a few months as BJP will come to power in Telangana.
Kishan Reddy alleged that KCR misused his office and the Budget Session of the Assembly to target the Centre and the Prime Minister. He said KCR overstepped his limits to compare India with other countries but did not speak even a word about the state Budget.
He said that KCR spoke out of his ignorance about the state of India’s economy and suggested that he search the data on Google.

Kishan Reddy asked if KCR did not know that during Manmohan Singh’s tenure India was the 11th largest economy in the world but under Narendra Modi, it became the fifth largest economy. He also pointed out that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted that India will overtake Germany to become the fourth largest economy by 2027.
The BJP leader also disputed KCR’s claim on India’s high rate of borrowings and claimed that this is lower than the borrowings of countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. He said that the US’debt to GDP ratio is 120 per cent while for the UK it is 273 per cent. India’s debt to GDP is only 19.9 per cent, he said.
The central minister questioned KCR’s silence on the state’s finance position and claimed that Telangana’s debts, which were Rs 60,000 crore in 2014, have now mounted to Rs 5 lakh crore due to indiscriminate borrowings by KCR government.
He also alleged that thousands of crore of rupees were swindled in Telangana in the name of projects by raising debts.
The BJP leader asked why there was no debate in the Assembly on family rule in Telangana, double bed-room scheme, irregularities in Dharani portal, unemployment allowance and unfulfilled promise to allot three acres of land to every Dalit family.

Telangana: No power interruption for farmers from Feb 11, says Jagadish Reddy

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Energy Minister G Jagadish Reddy acknowledged in the Assembly that there was a lack of electricity for agricultural users on Thursday and Friday but promised that starting on Saturday, farmers will receive uninterrupted power 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
State electricity utilities exceeded the previous peak demand of 14,166 MW on March 29, 2022, delivering 14,169 Megawatts on Friday, the day with the greatest peak demand.
He asserted that there would not be a power deficit for the agricultural sector in the next few days because the power companies had started to restore the supply as of Friday afternoon.
“As long as KCR is Chief Minister and the BRS is in power, there will be 24×7 free electricity supply to the farm sector,” the minister stated.
Jagadish Reddy accused the Union government for the 4,000 MW NTPC Ramagundam power plant’s delay, which will cost consumers Rs 9,637.27 crore.
“However, opposition leaders claim that the administration is buying influence by paying high fees. The cost increase is due to the NTPC plant’s delay in completion,” Jagadish Reddy explained. He also chastised the Centre for requiring power companies to use 30 percent imported coal in thermal power plants.
“SCCL provides one tonne of coal at Rs 3,600. That is why the Telangana refused to accept the Centre’s terms and never acquired foreign coal. However, our neighbouring state agreed to the terms and invited bids to purchase the imported coal. The suppliers quoted a price of Rs 40,000 per tonne. The tenders were revoked and re-invited by the neighbouring state. Telangana paid only Rs 3,600 per tonne, although the supplier demanded Rs 24,000 per tonne. As a result, there was no additional cost to our customers. Even BJP-ruled states were opposed to imported coal, Jagadish Reddy said.

Accused in Vivekananda Reddy murder shifted to Hyderabad Jail

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Three of the accused in the sensational murder case of former Andhra Pradesh minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy were shifted to Chanchalguda Jail here on Friday after they were produced before the CBI Special Court, which adjourned the hearing to March 10.
Amid tight security, Sunil Yadav, Umashankar Reddy and Devireddy Shivshankar Reddy were shifted to Chanchalguda Jail after the court extended their judicial custody.
Earlier, they were brought from Kadapa Jail to Hyderabad and produced before the CBI Court at Nampally Court Complex.
Erra Gangi Reddy, who is on bail and driver Dastagiri, who has turned an approver, also appeared in the court.
This was the first time after the Supreme Court transferred the case from Kadapa to Hyderabad that the accused appeared in the court here.
Shivshankar Reddy’s counsel brought to the notice of the court that he has to appear in a court in Kadapa in connection with another case. The judge asked him to file a petition for the permission.
Vivekananda Reddy, paternal uncle of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, was found murdered mysteriously at his residence at Pulivendula in Kadapa district on March 15, 2019.
The 68-year-old former state minister and former MP, brother of former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, was alone at his house when unidentified persons barged in and killed him. He was murdered hours before he was to launch YSR Congress Party’s election campaign in Kadapa.

In November last year, the Supreme Court transferred to a CBI court in Hyderabad the trial and probe into the larger conspiracy behind the murder. The apex court observed that doubts raised by Sunitha Reddy about getting a fair trial and investigation in Andhra Pradesh were reasonable.
Stepping up the pace of investigation, the CBI on January 28 questioned Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy, more than four-and-a-half hours.
Avinash Reddy is nephew of Vivekananda Reddy and cousin of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.
