Bhudhaar for every land parcel soon, says Telangana CM Revanth at Bhu Bharati portal launch
HYDERABAD: Announcing that every parcel of land will receive a Bhudhaar number, similar to Aadhaar for individuals, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday said that the goal of his government was to create a land policy free of legal disputes. Surveys will be conducted and agricultural lands will be measured to mark boundaries, Revanth stated after launching the Bhu Bharati portal at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad. The portal will initially be implemented in four mandals as a pilot project. During Indira Gandhis tenure, the Congress government introduced the Land Ceiling Act, through which lakhs of acres were taken from landlords and distributed to Dalits, tribals and other vulnerable communities, he recalled. In the past, Patels and Patwaris managed land records. After the system was abolished, the records were transferred to tahsildars. The Revenue department has updated 99% of the land records, which are now available to the public. After the formation of Telangana, the then BRS government introduced the Dharani portal. Calling the Dharani portal problematic, the chief minister said it became a source of distress for the public. He claimed that the murder of a tahsildar and a double murder in Ibrahimpatnam were linked to Dharani. The previous government blamed Revenue staff and painted them as corrupt. But these officials protected land rights for decades. We do not want them to be seen as looters. Changing the laws and blaming officials was an attempt to seize lands, Revanth stated. Alleging that the public suffered because of the Dharani portal, he stated that this was why he had promised to abolish it completely. The Bhu Bharati Act is intended to safeguard land rights. The state government has introduced the Act after consultations and suggestions, the CM stated, reiterating his administrations objective of a litigation-free land policy.

Telangana to host Bharat Summit-2025 on April 25
HYDERABAD: The Telangana government will host Bharat Summit-2025 for two days beginning April 25. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu made an official announcement to this effect on Monday. The summit is being organised in collaboration with Samruddha Bharat Foundation to mark the 70th anniversary of the historic Bandung Conference that laid the foundation for the Non-Aligned Movement. The theme of the summit, Delivering Global Justice, echoes the call for NYAY (justice) championed by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi. On Monday, the ministers unveiled the logo as former external affairs minister and CWC member Salman Khurshid, AICC Telangana In-charge and former MP Meenakshi Natarajan, CWC permanent invitee Gurdeep Sappal, and Indian Overseas Congress chairperson Sam Pitroda joined the event via video conference. Speaking to reporters later, the deputy CM said that the summit is set to bring together over 450 global delegates from more than 100 countries, including corporate heads, key ministers, policy-makers, academics, and civil society leaders, along with representatives from 25 international think tanks. Party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi will attend the summit on both days. Vikramarka said that nearly 100 progressive parties, 40-50 ministers, 50 senators and MPs, numerous heads of parties, and nearly 100 sectoral experts will engage in bilateral discussions. He said: We hope the Bharat Summit transforms into a permanent platform for all progressive forces who are committed to a democratic, liberal, and just world order. We are extremely thankful to the Minister for External Affairs S Jaishankar for extending all the required support for the summit, which will take Telangana to the top in the next 25 years. IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu said that they are pleased to host such an important summit at a time when the world is going through geopolitical, economic, and democratic upheavals. The summit will honour Indias legacy in global peace and justice as well as position Telangana as a modern-day meeting ground for global thinkers, reformers, and changemakers, he added. Through this summit, we will be discussing Chief Minister A Revanth Reddys development vision of Telangana Rising and how investors and entrepreneurs could invest in the state from across the world. We hope Bharat Summit becomes an annual feature, and the Telangana government can support this initiative in the future, Sridhar Babu said. Salman Khurshid hoped this would become an annual feature for all progressives. Under former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narasimha Rao, Manmohan Singh, and numerous other leaders, India has always played a leading role in global affairswhether it was the NAM, the anti-colonial movement, the anti-apartheid movement, the non-proliferation movement, or providing humanitarian assistance to the world, he said. Sam Pitroda said, Today, the world is at a crossroads. Democracy is being derailed and the world is reverting to primordial rules of statecraft. The world also seems to be splitting into spheres of influence and economic blocs. As a result, inequalities are mushrooming with trade wars, crony capitalism, and slashing of welfare expenditure, undermining of civic rights, and the demolition of the laws underpinning the liberal world order. At such a time, India needs to once again show the world that there exists a middle and moral ground. Through the Bharat Summit, we hope to start a global progressive movement. I am happy that the Telangana Government will institutionalise this platform.

Congress weakening Constitution, alleges Union Minister Kishan
HYDERABAD: Union minister and BJP state president G Kishan Reddy on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing it of undermining the Constitution drafted by Dr BR Ambedkar during the Emergency. He said that the people gave a strong response to this by voting the Congress out of power in the subsequent polls. After paying floral tributes to a statue of Ambedkar at Lower Tank Bund on his birth anniversary, Kishan said that the BJP-led government at the Centre is committed to upholding social justice and claimed that, despite several conspiracies by the Congress, the Constitution remains robust. He alleged that the Congress made repeated attempts over the last 75 years to weaken the Constitution. He further claimed that the Congress had vilified Ambedkar during his lifetime and even went so far as to bill his wife for the transportation of his mortal remains after his death. Calling Congress heartless, he criticised the partys treatment of the architect of the Constitution. Referring to the delay in honouring Ambedkar with the Bharat Ratna, he said it was only after the BJP came to power that the nation honoured Ambedkar with the countrys highest civilian award.
Telangana HC Justice Sujoy call on citizens to safeguard Constitution
HYDERABAD: Acting Chief Justice of Telangana High Court, Justice Sujoy Paul, on Monday, emphasised the collective duty of citizens to safeguard the Indian Constitution, calling for constitutional vigilance beyond political or judicial boundaries.

Drawing from the Preamble, he reminded the audience that the Constitution was given by the people, hence they are its true guardians. Using an analogy, he compared the Constitution to the Ganga: The water at Gangotri is pure, but it gets polluted as it flows. The Constitution, too, started pure. We must prevent impurities from creeping in. Justice Surepalli Nanda described Dr Ambedkar as a visionary who fought against inequality and gave India a noble Constitution. Delivering social welfare and justice is the true tribute to Babasaheb. A life of dignity must be assured to all, she said. Justice Nandikonda Narasinga Rao, Additional Advocate General T Rajanikanth Reddy, and several legal luminaries were present on the occasion.

Online betting in Telangana: Losses, loans, lives cut short
HYDERABAD: In the quiet hours before dawn, Kaligota Akash cradled his five-month-old son, tears mingling with desperate whispers. Call me daddy, he pleaded, knowing the infants silence was a final, cruel reminder of the life he was leaving behind. Hours later, the 22-year-old succumbed to poison, a victim not just of his despair but of an invisible predator: online betting apps. His story a sole breadwinner drowning in debt and parents shattered by loss presents the grim reality, where digital gamblings allure has turned phones into weapons and dreams into obituaries. A native of Akula Kondur village in Nizamabad district, Akash consumed pesticide on March 26 and succumbed to it on April 1, leaving behind his five-month-old son and elderly adoptive parents. We thought he was watching movies, his father, Kaligota Gangaram, a daily wage labourer, murmured, his voice heavy with the grief of a truth discovered too late. To his generation, a phone was a harmless diversion. But for his son Akash, it became a portal to ruin: betting apps siphoning loans, hope and finally, life. According to his father, Akash had become addicted to online betting and had taken loans to place bets. On the day he consumed poison, he had lost `20,000, Gangaram told TNIE. We never knew there were games on the phone that could kill people. We only learnt the truth after he was hospitalised, he added, breaking down. Gangaram said Akash was their only child, adopted two decades ago. I gave him the best education I could, even put him in an English-medium school. But now, we are left in unimaginable pain, he said. According to the complaint filed with the police, Akash had been betting through apps and dabbling in colour trading for the past three years, losing a significant amount of borrowed money. Though a complaint was filed, Nizamabad police said they did not find betting apps on his phone or any suspicious transactions in his bank account. We are still investigating, a senior officer told TNIE. Recent rise in cases Akashs death is not an isolated case. Despite the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) by the state government on March 30 to crack down on illegal online betting, at least three other similar suicides have been reported recently. In one such case, 25-year-old Rajveer Singh allegedly died by suicide on April 5 after losing money to betting apps. His body was found on the railway tracks between Ammaguda and Sanathnagar. In another case, a 21-year-old BTech student, Bandla Pawan Kumar Reddy, died by suicide after allegedly losing money in online betting apps in Ramanthapur on April 13. Many victims, driven by shame or fear, do not report their experiences to the police, making it difficult to assess the true scale of the crisis. Another user, N Kotesh, told TNIE that he had lost over Rs 20,000 in online cricket and kabaddi betting between 2019 and 2020. I took loans from friends and relatives. We even opened bank accounts in Noida branches because the apps didnt accept Telangana accounts, he said. I lost everything savings, peace, and pride. Now I work as a carpenter to repay my debts. Need for corrective action Recently in the Assembly, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy vowed to take action against those promoting or profiting from online betting apps. Its not just about money its about young lives being lost, he had said. The SIT has held two meetings so far and is reportedly working on a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to tackle such cases. A senior police official told TNIE that most cases have not been officially transferred to the SIT yet. Meanwhile, promotional content for betting apps continues to circulate online, despite police action against several social media influencers and actors. Many are now promoting apps while wearing masks to conceal their identity. Some platforms are still using old promotional videos, including that of influencer Varshini, against whom the Miyapur police had registered a case earlier. A recent video of hers was found being used by a site, called Play Govinda365, on Instagram. Cyberabad and Hyderabad police have registered multiple cases against influencers, but betting app promotions persist. TGSRTC MD VC Sajjanar has been raising awareness on social media, warning youngsters about the risks, but with limited impact so far. Some betting apps reportedly operate under the guise of sports news platforms, such as 1xBat and Parimatch News and possess foreign licences. They get licences in Western countries and operate globally, the senior police official said, adding there is a possibility of hawala transactions and liquid money changing hands unknowingly through these platforms.

PM Modi accuses Congress of destroying forests, says Telangana Deputy CM Bhatti
HYDERABAD: Congress leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, on Monday took objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that the Telangana government was destroying the environment by felling trees on the contentious 400 acres at Kancha Gachibowli near the University of Hyderabad (UoH). Vikramarka described Modis comments as an attempt to divert peoples attention from SC sub-categorisation and enhancement of BC reservations to 42 per cent. Addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone for Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant at Kali village in Haryana, the prime minister on Monday alleged that the Congress government in Telangana forgot the promises it made to the people during the elections. The Congress government in Telangana is busy clearing forests with bulldozers. The Telangana government is damaging nature and endangering wildlife. This is the working style of the Congress. While the BJP government in Haryana is setting up biogas plants (under GOBARdhan - Galvanising Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan scheme), the Congress government in Telangana is destroying nature and forests. There are two models of governance in front of you. One is the Congress model, which runs on lies. Another is the BJP model, which runs on the basis of truth and our dream is to make Viksit Bharat, he added. Reacting to the PMs comments, Vikramarka said: Narendra Modi has made comments on Telangana to distract and divert the attention of the people from SC sub-categorisation and enhancement of reservations to 42 per cent for BCs. During an informal chat with reporters, he said that the state government has neither destroyed any forest nor killed any animal. Our government is committed to protecting forests, he added. PM shedding crocodile tears Meanwhile, TPCC chief B Mahesh Kumar Goud alleged that Modi inaugurated five buildings on the UoH campus, which he said were constructed by cutting down several trees without forest, municipal and environmental permissions. In a press release, Mahesh Kumar said that the prime minister was shedding crocodile tears over Kancha Gachibowli land. Ridiculing Modis remarks on environmental conservation, the TPCC chief alleged that the former had given lakhs of acres of forest land to corporates. He further said that trees have been cut down to facilitate Narendra Modis rallies. The PM himself has admitted it, Mahesh Goud said and urged Modi to check facts before speaking.
Awareness on Bhu Bharati imperative: Telangana CM Revanth to collectors
HYDERABAD: Stating that the government has designed the newly launched Bhu Bharati Portal after a thorough study and research, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed district collectors to take up awareness programmes at the field level. The collectors were asked to attend the meetings in every mandal and clarify doubts raised by the farmers in simple and understandable language on the functioning of the Bhu Bharati portal. On Monday, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy held a collectors conference at Marri Chenna Reddy Human Resource Development Institute (MCHRD). During the conference, the Chief Minister gave certain orders to the collectors on the implementation of Bhu Bharati, Indiramma houses and the summer drinking water programme. Saying that in the past, farmers were sent to the courts without paying attention to addressing the land revenue problems, the Chief Minister made it clear that the Bhu Bharati Act focused more on addressing the land-related issues by the Revenue department, and farmers and people should also be informed about the appeal system. He instructed the Collectors to organise the Bhu Bharati Pilot Project meetings in Maddur in Narayanpet district, Nelakondapalli in Khammam district, Lingampeta in Kamareddy district and Venkatapur in Mulugu district. The CM said that Collectors should attend the meetings at the respective mandal centres involving the Revenue staff in every village. State Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and other ministers will also attend the meetings, he added. Meanwhile, stating that the Indiramma housing scheme has been taken up with great pride, the chief minister said that the mandal level committees should examine the list approved by the village level Indiramma houses committees and then the list should be sent to the district in-charge minister. The list of houses will be finalised only after the approval of the district in-charge minister, he said. Revanth instructed Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari to appoint a special officer for each Assembly constituency to monitor the implementation of the scheme. The special officer will be the coordinator between the Indiramma committees, mandal committees, collectors and the in-charge minister. The CM also advised the senior officers who were previously appointed to the erstwhile districts to focus on the construction of Indiramma houses and to monitor the work with the collectors of the respective districts. The chief minister warned that no one should succumb to any pressure at any stage in the allotment of the houses and action will be taken against the mandal-level committee and special officer, if houses are allotted to ineligible people. He said: Since 3,500 houses were allotted to each constituency, houses should be allotted to the respective villages on the basis of population and that rationality should be followed in this regard. The construction of houses should be carried out based on the specified time frame and the collectors should pay special attention to this. The chief minister also directed the collectors to pay special attention to drinking water supply during the summer season. Irrigation, Drinking Water Supply and Energy departments should work in coordination to address the drinking water problem, he added. The district authorities should prepare plans and solve drinking water problems by considering all these challenges and special attention should also be paid in tribal habitations (Koya Gudelu, Chenchu Pental and other tribal areas), he directed. The chief minister said that funds have already been allocated to the collectors for laying drinking water supply pipelines, repairs of motors and boreholes. More funds will be released, if necessary, he added. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Ministers N Uttam Kumar Reddy, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Konda Surekha, Ponnam Prabhakar, Jupalli Krishna Rao, C Damodar Rajanarsimha, Chief Ministers Advisor Vem Narender Reddy, Government Advisor Keshava Rao, Shabbir Ali and other officials were present in the meeting.
Telangana CM Revanth pushes for portal with dedicated Prajavani dashboard
HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday instructed officials to ensure that all details pertaining to Prajavani applications as well as those related to various schemes being implemented by the government are available online. During a review meeting held here, the CM directed the officials to develop a portal with a dedicated dashboard for Prajavani. He also asked the officials to provide him with live access to the Prajavani dashboard so that he too will be able to keep abreast of applications being received from the people and grievances resolved. The CM wanted the Prajavani programmes being conducted in the districts to be linked with the dashboard. A dedicated portal should be created so that everyone knows how the schemes are being implemented in a transparent manner and how many are benefiting from these schemes, the CM said while asking officials to review in advance which information should be kept confidential as per the existing laws without compromising the personal information of the people. He also said that a committee should be formed at the officer level and guidelines be prepared for the same. He suggested that the issues at the mandal, division and district-level should be resolved on the spot. Stating that the Prajavani programmes have been organised successfully since its launch in December 2023, the CM enquired about the procedures being followed to address the peoples grievances as well as the pending applications. The officials briefed the CM that special desks have been set up in Prajavani for various departments and a special Pravasi Prajavani established to resolve the issues of Gulf victims. All arrangements have been made for the benefit of petitioners and urgent applications are being resolved on the spot, they explained. Officials informed the CM that Prajavani has been conducted 117 times, in which people registered 54,619 petitions. Of these, 68.4 per cent (37,384) petitions have been addressed, they said. Ministers Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, Ponnam Prabhakar, Planning Board vice-chairman G Chinna Reddy, Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari, Prajavani nodal officer Divya Devarajan and other officials attended the meeting.

HYDERABAD: The frustration among some senior ruling party leaders is spilling out in the open, despite a clear warning by the high command against talking about internal party matters in the public domain. The frustration has much to do with the delay in Cabinet expansion, and little to do with the intense competition for posts and positions. The frustration has led to a series of public statements by party leaders expressing dissatisfaction with the leadership, irrespective of the fact that AICC state in-charge, Meenakshi Natarajan, has been urging restraint. Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy likened senior leader K Jana Reddy to the mythological figure Dhritarashtra, alleging bias. Chennur MLA G Vivek Venkataswamy and Rajagopal Reddy have both cited promises made by the high command regarding their inclusion in the Cabinet. Meanwhile, Mancherial MLA Prem Sagar Rao alleged that a particular family within the party was obstructing his ministerial prospects. The MLA questioned the legitimacy of their claim to Cabinet berths after switching parties. Elsewhere, Ibrahimpatnam MLA Malreddy Ranga Reddy made it clear that he would not hesitate to resign if not accommodated in the Cabinet. To support his claim, he hinted at caste-based neglect. The frustration has peaked following the visit by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, TPCC chief B Mahesh Kumar Goud and Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy to Delhi nearly three weeks ago. Discussions with AICC leaders regarding Cabinet expansion reportedly did not result in any breakthrough, leading to growing frustration among the ministerial aspirants. Komatireddy camp upset Sources disclosed that a letter written by Jana Reddy to the high command, seeking berths for MLAs from Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts, has further complicated matters. This has triggered dissatisfaction, particularly within the Komatireddy camp from Nalgonda district, they said. Party insiders from erstwhile Nalgonda and Adilabad districts stated that concerns have been raised about multiple members from the same families already holding key positions. There is pressure on the leadership to consider broader social representation and loyalty while deciding Cabinet appointments, the sources confirmed. The public remarks by party MLAs and the absence of clarity from the leadership have intensified internal squabbles. Several leaders have called for direct intervention by Natarajan to address the situation and prevent escalation, the sources revealed. Cabinet expansion has been pending for over eight months. With growing dissent within the ranks, the Congress high command is faced with the challenge of balancing internal expectations while maintaining cohesion.

IPL 2025: Huge Blow For PBKS As Lockie Ferguson Likely To Miss Remainder Of Season
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Punjab Kings (PBKS) fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is likely to miss rest of IPL 2025, said bowling coach James Hopes ahead of their clash against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Ferguson walked off the field due to a left leg issue after bowling just two balls in his side's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, which they eventually lost by eight wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Ferguson's out indefinitely, and us getting him back by the end of the tournament is a very low percentage. I think he's done a real decent injury to himself, said Hopes in the pre-match press conference. Ferguson had previously missed the 2025 Champions Trophy for New Zealand after suffering a hamstring injury while playing in the ILT20 in the UAE. Other overseas fast-bowling options in the PBKS set-up include seamer Xavier Bartlett, and all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai. From the Indian perspective, they have Vijaykumar Vyshak, who made an impact in PBKS first game of the season and make them victorious over Gujarat Titans (GT). Against SRH, Yash Thakur was used, while they also have someone like Kuldeep Sen in their ranks. The game against KKR is crucial for PBKS to get those vital two points after winning three games while losing two matches. We've only played a couple of games here and we feel we're getting a pretty good hang on the conditions with a couple of practice matches and the last two games here. We're obviously going to have to change our team up a bit with Ferguson not being able to play. So we'll have a good look at the wicket tonight and we'll see which way we're going to go there. Whether we have to change up our spin attack a little bit or change our fast bowling attack, which we're going to have to do, added Hopes, who previously worked as bowling coach of Delhi Capitals (DC). He signed off by saying PBKS bowling department has to do its job well by adapting their plans as per the conditions on offer in different venues. Well, the road ahead is, we're expecting to see a bit of improvement in the bowling. But, like, I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, we're going to go five matches now, I can see less than 200. We're playing on the pitches - like we might go to Bangalore, and that's a 230 wicket, and has got the potential to be that there. All we've got to do is keep the team at 200. So, like, I'm not going to sit here and say, we've got to be under 200.
