Seven held for 'purification' after protest near KCR's farmhouse in Telangana
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 15 (IANS) Telangana Police have arrested seven people in a case relating to the alleged purification of roads at Erravalli near the farmhouse of BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in Siddipet district. A former sarpanch of Vardarajpur village and six leaders of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) were taken into custody on Monday from a lodge in Vijayawada in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The accused were brought to Gajwel and produced before a magistrate, who then sent them to judicial custody for 14 days. Subsequently, they were shifted to Siddipet jail. The accused had allegedly performed 'purification' rituals, using turmeric water, on September 9. The 'purification' was done a day after Congress workers and Dalit organisations held a Chavu-Dappu (funeral drum-beating) protest in the area. The protest by Congress workers and Dalit organisations was against alleged derogatory and abusive remarks by two BRS MLCs against Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. Following the protest, BRS workers sprinkled turmeric water on the roads and other areas through which the protesters had passed. The alleged 'purification' had sparked a huge controversy with the ruling Congress party demanding strong action over what it called 'insult' to Dalits. On a complaint by local Congress leaders, police registered a case and took up the investigation. Forensic evidence was collected as part of the investigation. Police had been on the lookout for the accused, finally tracing them to a lodge in Vijayawada after one of them switched on his mobile phone. The protest by Congress workers and Dalit organisations near KCR's farmhouse had followed the September 7 incident at the Assembly gate. During the scuffle between BRS legislators and police, two BRS MLCs had allegedly made certain derogatory and abusive remarks against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. Both the MLCs were booked and arrested the next day. However, a court had ordered their release the same day.

Andhra government to provide free electricity for Ganesh pandals
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 9 (IANS) The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to provide free electricity for Ganesh pandals across the state. Minister for Human Resources Development and Information Technology Nara Lokesh made this announcement on Wednesday. I am happy to announce that this Ganesh Chaturthi, all Ganesh pandals across Andhra Pradesh will be provided with free electricity. This is a major festive initiative by our government to support communities celebrating across the state and make the celebrations even more vibrant, he posted on X. May Lord Ganesha bless every family with prosperity, happiness and success, the Minister added. Ganesh Chaturthi is scheduled to be celebrated from September 14 to September 25. Through another post, Nara Lokesh recalled the arrest of his father and present Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in 2023. Three years ago, the YSRCP party illegally imprisoned Chandrababu Naidu garu on this very day in a fabricated case for political gains. From that day, for 53 days, the entire Telugu community worldwide stood in support of Chandrababu garu, chanting 'Let the truth prevail'. The truth has prevailed, and Chandrababu garu has been released from illegal detention, wrote the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Working President. All the fabricated cases have been quashed by the courts. The truth has won. Remembering those dark days from back then... I once again express my heartfelt gratitude to the Telugu community for their support, he said. The TDP alleged that then Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had Chandrababu Naidu illegally arrested by the CID on allegations of corruption in the AP Skill Development Corporation. The TDP chief was arrested in Nandyal. He was in jail for 53 days. It said people erupted in anger and wrote the death warrant for Jagans rule. The CID had arrested Naidu on September 9, 2023, in the Skill Development scam, which allegedly took place when he was the chief minister. The next day, a court in Vijayawada sent him to judicial custody. On October 31, he was released from Rajahmundry Central Prison after the Andhra Pradesh High Court granted him bail. Naidu said, I neither did anything wrong nor allowed anyone to do anything wrong.
