    Ready to take taunts, will work for Telangana people’s welfare: Tamilisai

    [ad_1]

    Puducherry: Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday said the state government has ‘undervalued’ the importance of the Republic Day and has not held any official function to mark the occasion.

    Soundararajan, who is the Lt Governor of Puducherry, voiced concern over violations in observing conventions by the BRS regime in Telangana, which went against the vision of Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution.

    The Governor said she was, “fed up with such breaches” and “as the going goes, even if someone spits at me, I will simply wipe off.” Seen as a hint at the strained relationship between the Telangana Raj Bhavan and the state government and taunts hurled at her, the governor said the scenario would not deter her from working for the people’s welfare in the Telugu state.

    By not holding any official function, the BRS government has ‘committed violations’ and this necessitated a citizen in the State to move the High Court for relief, she told reporters here on the sidelines of ‘At Home’ reception in Raj Nivas.

    The Telangana High Court has also ‘strongly condemned’ the state government for its failure to celebrate the day in the state. “I have however felicitated some persons at Raj Bhavan and gave respect to the national flag before coming to Puducherry,” she said.

    Soundararajan, who flew down to Puducherry from Telangana said she had written to the Centre on the developments.

    “I keep sending reports to the Centre on several developments in Telangana every month,” she noted.

    The Telangana government should have held the ceremonial function at Parade Ground in Hyderabad. “It is amusing that the government has cited coronavirus as the reason for not holding the function in the ground. But a function was held recently with more than five lakh people being present.”

    On delay in commencement of the R-Day celebrations in Puducherry, she said, “I am not responsible for this. The flight I was coming to Puducherry could not land on time because of bad weather and only after getting clearance of the Meteorological department did the flight land at Puducherry. I however tender my apology for the delayed start of the celebration.”

    She was all praise for the territorial government for holding the Republic day celebrations in a grand manner.

  • Telangana: Sharmila lashes out at KCR for not holding R-Day parade

    Telangana: Sharmila lashes out at KCR for not holding R-Day parade

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Telangana Party chief Y S Sharmila came down heavily on chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) for attempting to cancel the full-fledged Republic Day parade and other celebratory activities.

    Sharmila hoisted the national flag at the YSRTP office premises here on Thursday.

    Attacking KCR, she accused him of disrespecting the Indian Constitution. “His utter disrespect towards the Indian Constitution is yet again evident in his reluctance to conduct a full-fledged Republic Day event at Parade Grounds. What a shameful irony, he dishonors the Constitution of the country, and then dreams to rule the country!” she said.

    She also asked why the ‘promises’ made by KCR during the formative days of Telangana is not yet fulfilled. “This is the same KCR who, by taking Constitutional cover often, sparked off the Telangana sentiment and became chief minister. Today, he shows scant respect for the Constitution, by breaching every promise he had made. What stops him from keeping his promises, from making a CM Dalit to building double-bedroom houses or giving one job per family to giving zero-interest loans to women?” she asked.

    ‘New buildings are not for development, nation building is’: Telangana Governor

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan said that everyone should have an equal share in development while addressing the Republic Day event on Thursday at Raj Bhavan in Hyderabad.
    The Governor unfurled the national flag which was followed by the national anthem.

    Soundararajan while addressing the event stated, “Chairman of the drafting committee of our Constitution BR Ambedkar said there must not be a class that has got all the privileges and a class that has got all the burdens to carry.”

    “New buildings are not for development, nation building is for development,” Soundararajan said.

    “All the farmers and the marginalised people should have farms and houses, few should not have farmhouses. That is not the development. Everyone should have an equal share in the development,” added Soundararajan emphasising the importance and meaning of development in her speech.

    The Governor also paid respect to the freedom fighters and the members of the Constituent Assembly. She said, “There were great personalities and stalwarts of great intellect, wisdom and vision in our constituent assembly.”

    In the event, the Governor also felicitated Golden Globes award-winning and Oscars nominated ‘Naatu Naatu’ song’s composer MM Keeravani and lyricist Chandrabose at the Republic Day function in Hyderabad.

    However, the Chief Minister of Telangana K Chandrasekhar Rao skipped the Republic Day celebrations.

    The week-long celebrations commenced on 23rd January, the birth anniversary of great freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. To mark the occasion, a one-of-a-kind Military Tattoo and Tribal Dance Festival ‘Aadi Shaurya – Parv Parakram ka’ was organised in New Delhi on January 23 and 24. The events will culminate on 30th January, which is observed as Martyrs’ Day.

    Telangana: Over 7L people to be charged ACD for non-payment of bills

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana State Northern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSNPDCL) said that 7.16 lakh consumers who failed to pay their bills will be subjected to Advance Consumption Demand (ACD) charges.

    The power distribution company’s chairman and managing director A Gopal Rao on Thursday said that the pending bills in Telangana totalled about Rs 305 crore.

    “The decision was in line with the guidelines issued by the Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSERC) and notices regarding ACD charges were issued in January,” remarked the director.

    Gopal Rao further informed that the interest on the ACD charges would be calculated as per RBI guidelines and would be adjusted in the consumer’s bill.

    “The TSNPDCL has been collecting ACD, a refundable security charge from consumers by asking them to pay an amount equal to their electricity bill for two months,” added Gopal Rao.

    “ACD is based on the monthly average power consumed by each consumer for a year and collected in order to provide better services to consumers,” said the director.

    Dismission rumours being circulated on social media regarding ACD, Gopal Rao said that the TSNPDCL has not planned to increase the power tariff and claimed the news to be baseless.
