Telangana Congress promises e-bikes to girl students if voted to power

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Congress on Monday promised to provide electric scooters to every girl student of 18 years of age and above, as part of its ‘Hyderabad Youth Declaration’, a charter of commitments that the party would fulfil if it comes to power in the State Assembly elections that are to be held by the end of the year.
In what could be termed as a ‘mini manifesto’ before the Assembly polls expected to be held by December, the party released the declaration in the presence of AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
The party also said that the young men and women who laid down their lives during the first and final phases of the movement for Telangana as a separate state would be recognised as martyrs, and one of their family members would be given a government job besides Rs 25,000 monthly pension to the martyr’s mother or father or wife.

As many as two lakh government jobs would be filled in the first year of formation of the Congress Government, the party declared, even as it promised that unemployed youth would be given a Rs 4,000 payment per month until they get a job.
A Youth Commission would be set up and Rs 10 lakh interest-free loan would be provided to increase livelihood opportunities, the Congress said.
The party also promised that after forming the government, it would reimburse all fees to students and also backlog if any would be cleared. Quality education would be provided to the children of Police and Road Transport Corporation (RTC) personnel by setting up two universities for them in Hyderabad and Warangal.
Last year, the party had released the ‘Warangal Declaration’, announcing various doles to farmers as well.
The Congress has suffered setbacks in Telangana despite the UPA government headed by Manmohan Singh acceding to the statehood demand in 2014.

In addition to losing the Legislative Assembly elections in 2014 and 2018, the Congress also fared badly in the Assembly bypolls and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) election hels in the past few years.
Apart from this, the party has yielded ground to the BJP which has won two Assembly bypolls and the GHMC election impressively.
Aiming to resurrect its prospects in the state, the Congress has been reaching out to people in various ways.
While state party chief Revanth Reddy held a ‘padayatra’ after the conclusion of national leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Congress Legislature Party leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka too has been on a ‘padayatra’ for the past 50 days.

Telangana: Workers union demands compensation, justice for Swiggy rider’s kin

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Gig and Platform Workers’ Union (TGPWU) have demanded justice for the Swiggy delivery boy who lost his life in a tragic road accident on May 5.
Raju, 31, a resident of the Gandhi colony met with a fatal road accident while delivering food in Alwal of Hyderabad following which he was rushed to the nearby hospital. However, he soon succumbed to his injuries.
Being the only earning member of his family, Raju was survived by an old and ailing mother, a wife, and two small children.

Additionally, Raju was also paying for his wife, Soni Rasapuram’s education who is studying first year of B.Ed.
Soon after the accident, the family tried to contact the management at Swiggy. However, they ended up receiving a computer-generated response with none from the company reaching out to the family so far.
TGPWU’s founder and president, Shaik Salauddin who visited the bereaved family on Monday said, “Raju’s death stands completely ignored by the company. The family was left distressed.”

The union has promised the family to step in and negotiate with Swiggy while they demand Rs 25 lakh as compensation in case of death under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 (which is to compensate workers who have encountered injuries due to an accident during their employment).
TGPWU has further demanded that police should file an FIR against the person who had hit Raju in the accident and also facilitate compensation from the accused to Raju’s family.

Accident on May 5
The incident reportedly occurred at night when a speeding car from Kanaji Guda hit a person, and then continued to run until a high-tension pole made it stop.
The incident caused injuries to three people, including Raju who was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to injuries.
Police identified the driver as a software employee who accelerated her car by mistake, while she was supposed to hit the brake to avoid hitting a man who came in front of the car, ending up in a major accident.

Telangana Haj pilgrims denied rubat facility in 2023 amid delay in Saudi building rules

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Haj pilgrims from Telangana will not be able to avail the facility of rubat during Haj 2023 due to the delay in issuing details regarding the stay of pilgrims in rubat in Makkah by the Government of Saudi Arabia. Hussain Muhammad Al Sharif, the authority responsible for managing the rubats, has informed the Haj Committee of India and the Consul General in Jeddah about the issue.
According to sources, the Government of Saudi Arabia has recently formulated new rules regarding the stay in buildings, and it is not immediately possible to get permission to stay in the rubat building until all necessary issues are complied with. The government has not yet issued any description regarding the new rules, making it impossible for pilgrims to stay in rubat during Haj 2023. With the departure of pilgrims scheduled to begin from June 7, obtaining permission to stay in rubat seems unlikely.
In response to the situation, the CEO of the Haj Committee of India, Mohammad Yaqoob Shaikh, has written a letter to the administration of all Indian rubats seeking clarification. The letter was sent not only to the Nizam Rubat in Hyderabad but also to the rubat committees of Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai, Karnataka, and Rajasthan.

Shaikh has also informed the Consul General of Jeddah and the Chief Executive Officer of the Haj Committee of India about the latest situation. He said that if the Central and State Haj Committees cooperate, efforts can be made to ensure the facility of rubat for the pilgrims in Haj 2024. Meanwhile, the Haj Committee of India has started paying the last installment of the pilgrims.
It is a disappointing development for the pilgrims of Telangana who were hoping to stay in rubat during their Haj pilgrimage. The authorities are yet to clarify the situation, and it remains to be seen if any further steps will be taken to resolve the issue.

Priyanka Gandhi’s Telangana visit: KTR calls her ‘political tourist’

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Terming Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi as a political tourist, Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) working president and minister KT Rama Rao said that politicians who are unemployed are provoking the youth of Telangana.
He said that the parties which did not work for the welfare of people while in power are now “preaching the state governments like Telangana which consistently ranked high in performance”.
Responding to Priyanka Gandhi’s Telangana visit for a political rally on youth issues, the BRS working president reminded her of the ‘decades-long history of failures of Congress Party’.
KTR criticized Congress for ‘exploiting’ youth, and employment issues solely for its politics. He said that the country would not have experienced an ‘unemployment crisis’ if Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced employment policy and worked like BRS. The Minister said that the Telangana government under the leadership of chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao provided employment to 2.2 lakh youth in the government and 22 lakh youth in the private sector.
The Minister said that Congress was at the ‘end of its wits’ as it was away from power for the past 10 years. He cited this as the reason for the ‘political unemployees’ of Congress trying to provoke the youth of Telangana.
Asserting that they will not be successful in the ‘vicious’ attempts, he asked them to compare the number of posts filled by Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) in the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh and by the Telangana government after formation of the state. He reminded about the ‘bitter experiences and injustice’ done to Telangana youth in interviews even after clearing written exams with merit.
He demanded Priyanka Gandhi apologize on behalf of the Congress party for taking the lives of hundreds of Telangana youth during the separate Telangana movement, by delaying the formation of the state for their political gains. KTR said that even the current Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee’s (TPCC) president Revanth Reddy termed Sonia Gandhi as the culprit (balidevatha) behind all the suicides.

The Minister said that Hyderabad is a global city that welcomes lakhs of tourists every day and it also welcomes ‘political tourists’ like Priyanka Gandhi.
He termed the Congress as a ‘sinking ship’ and suggested Priyanka Gandhi turn her political tour into an ‘educational tour’. He asked her to witness the growth of Telangana and learn by seeing the world class roads, flyovers, cable bridge and offices of the top MNCs in Hyderabad. KTR suggested that she ask fellow congressmen what people like superstar Rajinikanth spoke about Hyderabad. He invited her to understand local conditions and learn from what she sees there.
KTR highlighted the ‘failures’ during Congress rule like lack of drinking and irrigation water, issues with electricity, and lack of support for agriculture.
The Minister said that in stark contrast to the Congress rule, BRS led Telangana government provided 24*7 power, Rythu Bandhu, Aasaea pensions for the needy, Mission Bhagiratha etc. He suggested Priyanka learn from the inclusive and holistic developmental activities, and policies of Telangana, and implement them in Congress-ruled states.
He said that the people of Telangana who are ‘astute’ will secure their future by electing KCR who achieved formation of the state and that the ‘political tourist’ Priyanka Gandhi will realize this in the tour.
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary will lead a rally and address a public meeting at Saroornagar stadium on Monday.

Stage set for Priyanka Gandhi’s maiden public rally in Telangana

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The stage is set for Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi’s maiden public rally and meeting in Telangana.
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary will lead a rally and address a public meeting at Saroornagar stadium on Monday.
This is her maiden political visit to Telangana since the state’s formation in 2014.

The Congress leader is scheduled to address the public meeting over the problems of unemployed youth and students in the state. She will announce youth declaration.
Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka told reporters on Sunday that Congress Bharosa Sabha is aimed at giving an assurance to the youth.
He said the party would announce what it plans to do for the unemployed after coming to power in the state.
He said justice should be done to youth in Telangana which was achieved with their struggle and sacrifice.
Bhatti Vikramarka said if voted to power in Telangana, the Congress party would provide jobs to the unemployed and also provide houses for the poor.

The Congress leader alleged that the state government was playing with the careers and lives of 30 lakh unemployed youth and students.
Priyanka Gandhi will arrive in Hyderabad after completing the election campaign in Karnataka.
She will lead a rally from the statue of Srikanth Chari, who sacrificed his life for Telangana. It will cover about 2 km to reach Saroornagar stadium where the public meeting will take place.
The opposition party has made arrangements to mobilise large number of people for the meeting which is being held in the wake of Telangana Public Service Commission (TSPSC) and Secondary School Certificate (SSC) paper leak cases.
Congress leaders alleged that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government headed by Chief Minister KCR was least bothered about the TSPSC paper leak case and the future of 30 lakh educated unemployed youth.

Telangana govt owes explanation on ORR leasing: Kishan Reddy

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Union Minister for Tourism and Culture G. Kishan Reddy on Sunday found fault with the Telangana government for leasing out Outer Ring Road (ORR) to a private party for just Rs 7,380 crore for a period of 30 years, saying this deprived the state of Rs 75,000 crore revenues.
He said the state government owes an explanation to people as awarding of toll collection, operation and maintenance of the ORR to a private agency for 30 years on Toll, Operate and Transfer (TOT) basis would result in a huge loss of revenue to the state.
He told a news conference that the state government selected IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited in the bid in a predetermined manner and in violation of the guidelines of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).

Kishan Reddy explained that the private agency will collect toll for 30 years on ORR after paying only Rs 7,380 crore to the government.
He pointed out that so far Eagle Infra was collecting Rs 415 crore as toll on ORR for Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) every year.
“If this toll collection increases by 5 per cent per year, HMDA would have earned Rs 30,000 crore for 30 years. Experts and engineers say the 10 per cent increase would mean a revenue of Rs 75,000 crore during the same period. If we assume a 15 per cent increase, the revenue for the government would be over Rs 2.08 lakh crore,” he said.
Stating that Hyderabad is the fastest growing city in the country, the Union Minister said the toll revenue on ORR would only go up.
He wondered why the BRS government which had been opposing privatisation gave ORR on lease for 30 years. Taking a dig at Chief Minister KCR, he asked if this was the qualitative change he wanted to bring.

“The government should tell people for whose benefit this decision was taken,” he said.
He questioned the need for awarding the contract for 30 years when most of the roads are leased for a maximum period of 10 years.
The Union Minister alleged that BRS took the decision as it has realised that it will lose power in Telangana.
