  • Big discussion about cabinet reshuffle

    Big discussion about cabinet reshuffle

    Hyderabad: A day after the meeting of top BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP chief JP Nadda and national general secretary BL Santhosh, at Prime Minister’s residence on Wednesday, the PM convened a crucial meeting of the Union Cabinet in New Delhi on July 3.

    This decision comes amid a buzz over impending Cabinet reshuffle and changes in the BJP organisational structure. This meeting assumes high significance for three reasons: One it would be held in the convention centre at Pragati Maidan in Delhi where G-20 summit would be held in September; secondly, contrary to the normal practice, all the Ministers of State have also been invited for the Cabinet meeting. The third reason is that this meeting is scheduled ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, which would begin during the third week of July.

    Along with the Cabinet rejig, party’s organisation both at Central and in some states may see some changes as its top brass makes its choices for key positions as the campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls intensifies in the coming months, sources said.

    BJP sources said three general secretaries and four secretaries are likely to be inducted into the BJP national organisation as a part of the preparation for the upcoming General Election 2024. The PM has been briefed about the changes in the party in the wake of crucial elections, they said.

    It is also being said that four BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh, one from the poll-bound Madhya Pradesh and two from Rajasthan, where the Assembly elections are due this year and Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay may be inducted into the Cabinet.

    The PM may also induct Malayalam superstar Suresh Gopi into the Cabinet.

    Sudden air dash of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to New Delhi on Thursday evening, a day ahead of Shinde completing a year in office assumes significance and strengthens the speculation that one or two members from Shinde’s camp may also be taken into the new Cabinet.

    The major changes in the state units of Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh are also likely.

    After incurring a major defeat in Karnataka, the BJP does not want to take any chance in Madhya Pradesh, where the Congress wants to wrest power from the BJP. In Rajasthan, despite being in advantageous situation, the BJP is facing leadership crisis. In Telangana, where the BJP had initially made big gains to emerge as a key player, the party suffered a setback while the Congress has been pulling out all stops to regain its lost turf and grow as the main challenger to the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi.

  • Due to the increase in the prices of green chillies, the kitchen of the house is hot

    Due to the increase in the prices of green chillies, the kitchen of the house is hot

    The cost of vegetables has sky rocketed in the recent times in Telangana. After delicious Tomato, Green Chillies have become ‘double hot ‘ as it’s price hit the roof from Rs 40 to an exorbitant Rs 120 per Kg.

    Thanks to the delay in the South West Monsoon. The prolonged dry spell could be one of the main reasons for low yielding of the essential commodity.

    Rythu Bazars have been selling Chillies at Rs 100 per kg due to inadequate stock. Taking scarcity of the commodity as an advantage, super markets are fleecing the consumers by charging not less than Rs 140 per kg. Sellers were insisting the consumers to buy 1 kg at a fixed rate of Rs 100 in the Rythu Bazars. Vegetable shops are charging Rs 40 per 250g citing meagre stocks a main reason.

    State Horticulture department officials said that normally Green Chilli’s production for daily use always meet the demand in the markets in every season. Telangana has been importing chillies from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka where the yielding was high and has also seen good production in the State.

    The major chilli growing districts – Khammam, Mahabubabad, Gadwal, Suryapet and Warangal (Rural) were facing deficit rainfall from June first week. As a result, yielding from the standing crops reduced drastically, said the officials adding that if these districts did not receive good rainfall in the current monsoon season, chilli production will go down drastically.

    However, the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, which was the largest Chilli producing State in the country, will come to the rescue of Telangana to meet the demand for chilli in July. Andhra chilli growers were expecting good rainfall in the catchment areas which helps to grow chilli fast and supply to Telangana in the next two weeks.

    State Horticulture department was also taking measures to encourage the farmers to go for chilli crop to get good remunerative price in the coming season.
