    BRS rule golden era for tribals: Harish Rao

    Kothagudem: Finance Minister T Harish Rao stated here on Friday that the tribal people were experiencing a golden era under the rule of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. He praised the CM for resolving the decades-old issue of tribals and the issue of patta passbooks for podu lands was like a dream come true for the indigenous people. He pointed out that earlier only three lakh acres of podu lands had been granted to tribal people in the previous 60 years, but the BRS administration distributed over 4 lakh acres of podu land to them all at once.

    Along with Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar, Harish Rao took part in the distribution of the pattas. Addressing a gathering of tribals on the occasion, he claimed that Kothagudem’spodu farmers received roughly one-third of the four lakh acres of podu lands distributed throughout the State. He distributed pattasto as many as 50,595 farmers for 1,51,195 acres in the district.

    He informed that the podu farmers’land details would be uploaded on the Dharani portal, which makes them eligible for RythuBandhu, RythuBima, free energy, heavily discounted seeds, fertilisers and drip irrigation systems. He assured that the government would withdraw police cases booked against the podu farmers following their clashes with the forest personnel in the past. Podu farmers would also be eligible to receive compensation in case of vagaries of nature.Congress in its 2009 election manifesto promised to upgrade thandas into gram panchayats but failed to do so. However, KCR kept his promise by upgrading 2,471 thandas and gudems into gram panchayats for their self-rule, he noted.

    Listing the initiatives taken for the welfare for the tribal people in the State, he said the ST reservation quota was increased by the government to 10%. As a result, more than 500 tribal students were admitted to MBBS programmes each year. The government also established tribal districts such as Kothagudem, Asifabad, Mulugu, and Bhupalpally. As against 91 colleges established by the previous governments in the 65 years preceding the state formation, 22 women’s residential degree institutions and 95 Gurukul colleges for tribal students were set up in the last nine years, he said, adding that the Mission Bhagiratha was quenching the thirst of agency villages which used to experience seasonal and water-borne illnesses due to shortage of safe water. Previous regimes only worried about using tribal people as a voting bloc, the CM KCR was attending to their long-pending issues and, as such, they should stand by the BRS in the upcoming elections, he urged.

    MPs Nama Nageswara Rao and VaddirajuRavichandra, Government Whip Rega Kantha Rao, District Collector Anudeep Durishetty and MLAs in the district participated in the programme.

    All parties need to provide assurance, courage to the people of Manipur: BRS

    Hyderabad: Telangana State Planning Board Vice Chairman B Vinod Kumar on Saturday said that all political parties have a responsibility to provide assurance and courage to the people of Manipur.

    On behalf of the BRS, the senior leader attended an all-party meeting held at the Parliament Library Building in New Delhi on Saturday under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Vinod said that during the Telangana movement, when they were in Delhi, the political parties and associations of North Eastern states used to meet them. He said that they had some knowledge on this topic. It is unfortunate that even after 75 years of independence, there were still clashes between castes, religions and races, he said. “We said in the all-party meeting that all political parties have a responsibility to provide assurance and courage to the people of Manipur,” said Vinod Kumar.

    The BRS leader said that Meiteis were demanding that they should be included in STs. The Parliament has the right to include anyone in ST. But, the Manipur High Court has given a verdict to include Meiteis in STs within 4 weeks, which is against the constitution.

  • Massive mandate awaits BRS, says CM KCR

    Massive mandate awaits BRS, says CM KCR

    Hyderabad: A massive mandate is awaiting the Bharat Rashtra Samithi once again in the State and there is no need to entertain any doubts about this, BRS President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao said here on Wednesday.

    Addressing a meeting of the BRS legislative and parliamentary party members, he said the BRS would come to power again in the State.

    “No one should have any doubts about this. All surveys are in our favor. We are definitely going to retain 95 and win 105 seats,” he said.

    Asking elected representatives and chief functionaries of the party to swing into action to galvanize the cadres to take Telangana’s success story to the people, he said the turnaround achieved by the State in key sectors was being acclaimed all over.

    The State had emerged as a role model and created a new landmark in every sector, resulting in a widespread clamour elsewhere for replicating Telangana model, he said, citing the growing demand for the model in the neighbouring Maharashtra.

    At the same time, taking serious note of what he called a monotonous approach to the task of reaching out to the people with the State’s own success story, he said the time had come to put the rank and file of the organization at all levels back into action mode.

    The 21-day celebrations planned as part of the 10th Formation Day would be the right occasion to speak about the growth and progress of Telangana, he said, adding that everyone should ensure active participation in the celebrations.

    The department wise and day wise schedule of the celebrations would be released after finalizing it in the Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Public meetings would be organised in every constituency and every district involving people at the grassroots. Every elected representative should ensure active participation to make the event a grand success.

    He pointed out that some of elected representatives were yet to update themselves about the rapid strides made in the development of Telangana despite the humble beginnings the State could make nine years ago.

    “Everyone must know what is instrumental for the turnaround achieved by the State. It is the responsibility of everyone to go to the people with the message of development,” he said, adding that if all the MLAs work as desired, everyone would surely get a majority of more than 50,000.

    “Huge turnouts for our meetings at Suruapet, Kamareddy or any other place in the State can be understood. But if people are attending BRS meetings the same way in Maharashtra, there must a strong reason. The major attraction is the rich dividends being paid by the Telangana Model of development,” he said, pointing out that a senior IAS officer in Aurangabad had publicly acknowledged the Telangana Model as the only way out for Maharashtra.

    However, the party was not highlighting in an adequate manner what it had done so far, he felt, suggesting that Rythu Vedikas were unique venues to highlight Telangana’s success story.

    “We have established more gurukuls than any other State in the country. When I was Siddipet MLA, I wanted a residential college established there, but it did not happen. Now we have established 1001 such institutions. This is our glory. This message should reach the people,” he said, adding that no party could win playing the cards of caste and religion.

    “We look at all communities with equal attention. That is the secret of our success,” the Chief Minister added.

    CM KCR to BRS leaders:

    • Massive mandate awaits BRS
    • No need for doubts on BRS retaining power
    • Will definitely retain 95 and win 105 seats
    • Elected representatives, chief functionaries asked to galvanize cadre
    • Telangana’s success story should reach the people
    • Warns against complacency among elected representatives
    • Time to get rank and file of party into action mode

    BRS to hold crucial meeting in backdrop of Karnataka results

    HYDERABAD: A crucial meeting of Telangana’s ruling party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is scheduled to be held here on Wednesday. To be presided over by party president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the meeting of BRS executive and parliamentary party assumes significance in the wake of Karnataka Assembly election results. KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, is likely to explain to the party leaders why the result of Karnataka elections cannot be repeated in Telangana.

    While the defeat of the BJP in Karnataka has brought cheers to the BRS as the saffron party was aggressively projecting itself as the only viable alternative, the Congress s upbeat over its victory and is claiming that the same will be repeated in Telangana. As the BRS is looking to score a hat-trick in Telangana, KCR is likely to explain how the party can overcome anti-incumbency to retain power. BRS working president and KCR’s son K.T. Rama Rao has already stated that Karnataka’s results have no bearing on Telangana.

    The Assembly elections in Telangana are scheduled to be held later this year. At Wednesday’s meeting, KCR is also likely to give a roadmap to the party leaders to achieve the target.

    The BRS chief is also expected to give direction to the party cadres about participation in state formation day celebrations. The government has already announced big plans to celebrate 10th year of state formation in a grand manner, highlighting the progress made by India’s youngest state.

    KCR has decided to organise formation day celebrations for 21 days beginning from June 2. Ministers, MLAs, MLCs, MPs, executive members and chairpersons of corporations will attend the meeting.This will be the second high-level meeting of the BRS in 20 days. The previous general body meeting was held on April 27 to mark the party’s formation day.

    Addressing the earlier meeting, KCR exuded confidence that the party will retain power in the state by winning more than 100 seats in the 119-member Assembly. “Coming to power again in Telangana is not a big task. The priority is to win more seats than before,” he had told the party leaders.
