    YSRCP government diverted Rs 75,560 crore meant for BC welfare: Lokesh

    Nellore Rural (SPSR Nellore district): Alleging that YSR Congress party was responsible for diverting Rs 75,760 crore meant for BCs welfare to other purposes, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh has assured that his party would introduce a Special Act for protection of Backward Classes.

    As part of his ongoing Yuva Galam Padayatra, the TDP leader visited Gundlapalem and Vaddepalem villages in Nellore rural constituency on Sunday.

    Speaking after receiving a representation from the BC people at Vaddipalem village, the TDP leader pointed out that Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power by securing majority votes of the Backward Classes, but he betrayed them completely after assuming charge.

    Stating that about 26,000 fake cases were foisted on BCs during the last four years, the TDP leader said that his party has decided to bring in a special Act immediately after returning to power in 2024 elections for the protection of BCs. He said that his party would ensure providing tools to caste-based professions (Kula Vruthulu) at 90 per vcent subsidy by restoring the Aadarana scheme.

    Responding to a complaint of Gundlapalem villagers over the poor condition of roads in their village, the TDP leader said that the same has been the state of roads in the entire State as the YSRCP government is least bothered on the issue.

    He said the contractors were not coming forward to execute the works as the State government failed to clear their long standing dues.

    He assured that the Gundlapalem- Krishnapatnam single road would be re-laid as a four-lane road after the TDP regains power in the next elections.

    Earlier, a large number of supporters welcomed Lokesh in Nellore rural constituency. Nellore Rural YSRCP suspended MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy along with his brother K Giridhar Reddy and several other activists welcomed the the TDP leader at Kagulapadu village in Nellore rural mandal on Sunday

    Kakani says – Lokesh is suffering from depression

    Nellore (SPSR Nellore district): While describing Yuva Galam Padayatra of TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh as a circus, Agriculture Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy said Lokesh was suffering from frustration and making controversial comments against the ruling party leaders to attract the attention of people during his meetings.

    Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, the Agriculture Minister said the TDP leader was feeling insecure about his political career as his father and TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu was giving top priority to JSP chief Pawan Kalyan.

    Finding fault with the comments made by the TDP national general secretary on him during a public meeting in Muthukuru mandal on Saturday, Kakani said that Lokesh is worried over the “wicked politics” of his father N Chandrababu Naidu that he might be backstabbed just like his grandfather and TDP founder N T Rama Rao. “This was prompting Lokesh to make derogatory comments against the YSRCP leaders,” the Minister said.

    Describing Lokesh as an incapable and immature politician, the Agriculture Minister said people are not prepared to believe the TDP national general secretary as he was defeated in the 2019 Assembly elections and the same will be repeated in the next elections too. Kakani predicted that it would be impossible for the TDP-JSP combine to win power in 2024 polls as the people of the State totally back the YSRCP for its welfare schemes and pro-poor policies.

  • Garuda Purana’s six-month recitation ends

    Garuda Purana’s six-month recitation ends

    Tirumala: One of the most important sacred texts among the Astadasa Puranas in Hindu Sanatana Dharma penned by sage Veda Vyas, the Garuda Purana concluded on a grand spiritual note at Nada Neerajanam platform at Tirumala on Sunday evening.

    The Parayana Yagnam was taken up by the TTD seeking divine intervention to safeguard the entire humanity during the Covid pandemic, while Garuda Purana began on January 2 this year which lasted for six months and concluded on Sunday.

    Renowned Vedic scholars from Dharmagiri Veda Vignana Peetham, Satyakishore and Kumara Swamy, explained the essence of each sloka and rendered slokas from Garuda Purana for over 180 days which was telecast live by SVBC between 6 pm and 7 pm every day.

    On the last day, the Vice-Chancellors of SV Vedic University and National Sanskrit University Prof Rani Sadasiva Murthy and Prof GSR Krishna Murthy participated and appreciated the proficiency of both the narrators and sloka renderers on the occasion.

    Satya Kishore who narrated the slokas said, sage Veda Vyas compiled the Astadasa Puranas to draw the attention of the reader or its listener towards the ultimate goal of Dharma and the Supreme Lord.

    He said the entire epic of Garuda Purana is in the form of a wonderful conversation between Garuda and Lord Vishnu regarding the meaning of human life.

    Uniqueness of Garuda Purana lies in the fact that it is the only sacred text that talks about the life after death, the journey of the soul, death and its aftermath, rebirth or reincarnation.

    He thanked TTD EO AV Dharma Reddy who has given him the opportunity to narrate a challenging subject like Garuda Purana.

    “There is a misconception and doubts among devotees on listening to the Garuda Purana due to its contents. It took us almost a month to convince them how essential it is to know the contents to lead a pious and sin-free life. Reading or listening to Garuda Purana will definitely change the mindset of an evil-doer or a sinner,” he maintained.

    CEO of SVBC Shanmukh Kumar felicitated both the Vedic scholars and presented them the portrait of Lord Venkateswara Swamy and Prasadams at the end of the programme.
