Pawan Kalyan seeks adequate representation for Jana Sena in local body polls
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 11 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Sunday called for adequate representation for his Jana Sena Party in the upcoming local body elections in recognition of what he called sacrifices of the party cadres for the formation and success of the ruling coalition. He said that the Jana Sena Party and Janasainiks (party cadres) have made many sacrifices for the formation and success of the alliance, and in recognition of their sacrifices, they should be given adequate representation in the local bodies in accordance with the alliance's dharma. He stated that they had fought for the future of the state in the 2024 general elections and expressed the hope that the upcoming local body elections would ensure a secure future for the 'Janasainiks'. The Jana Sena leader was speaking at the launch of the 'Adavitalli Bata 2.0' programme on Sunday at Kakavada in the Rampachodavaram constituency of Polavaram district. He appealed to people to back the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the upcoming local body elections, promising to undertake more development works. He emphasised that leaders and cadres of Jana Sena and activists from other parties within the coalition must move forward with mutual coordination and actively participate in village development. He urged every leader within the alliance to stand by and support every activist who worked hard for the party and the alliance, ensuring they receive due recognition and respect. When we stood in support of the alliance in 2024, not a single Janasainik aspired for a political post. They worked selflessly, prioritising the state's interests above all else. They made numerous sacrifices for the party and the alliance, setting aside their personal interests, he said. The actor-politician said that even during the arrest of N. Chandrababu Naidu, Janasainiks and 'Veera Mahilas' (women cadres) took to the streets to express their solidarity. We must never forget the sacrifices of those who stood by us during difficult times. In the upcoming local body elections, we must respect the alliance dharma and ensure appropriate representation for Janasainiks and Veera Mahilas. Their sacrifices deserve due recognition. We must honour the trust of those who stood by us without seeking any positions of power. Pawan Kalyan said that the coalition government is implementing the 'Adavitalli Bata' programme with the aim of providing road connectivity to tribal villages and bringing them onto the path of development. We are taking measures to improve education, healthcare, employment, transportation, and market facilities in tribal areas through road construction. He stated that, with the cooperation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under the leadership of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, the Adavitalli Bata' programme is being implemented by coordinating schemes such as PM-JANMAN, PMGSY-IV and the Employment Guarantee Scheme. We launched this initiative in the Polavaram, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Nandyal and Eluru districts. Under this programme, we undertook works worth Rs 1,406 crore to construct 1,662 kilometres of roads connecting 858 tribal habitations. Carrying forward this same spirit, we sanctioned a total of 2,569 works worth Rs 2,052 crore under 'Adivi Thalli Bata 2.0' to build 1,976 kilometres of roads and 45 bridges for another 1,341 habitations, he added.

Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday paid tributes to Bharat Ratna Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan on his birth anniversary, saying his legacy remains a guiding light. My reverential tributes to the memory of the great Socialist & Gandhian, Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan (JP). In remembering him, we honour one of Indias most venerable freedom fighters, Gandhian thinkers, & socialist icons. Jayaprakash Narayan devoted his life to the service of the nation - from his daring role in the 1942 Quit India Movement to his unyielding dedication to social welfare through the Bhoodan (land-gift) movement, Venkaiah Naidu said in a post on X. As a true leader of the masses, he embodied selflessness, moral courage, & political integrity. JP is best remembered for leading the Total Revolution (Sampoorna Kranti) movement in the 1970s. When democratic values faced unprecedented challenges, he galvanized students, youth, & citizens across the nation to rise peacefully in defense of freedom, justice, & accountability. Today, Lok Nayaks legacy remains a guiding light, reminding us to rededicate ourselves to upholding the democratic ideals, social justice, & selfless service that he championed throughout his life, added the former Vice-President. Governor of Telangana, Shiv Pratap Shukla, paid his solemn tributes to Jayaprakash Narayan, calling him the eminent freedom fighter, distinguished social reformer and staunch advocate of democracy. The Governor recalled Jayaprakash Narayans invaluable contributions to the nation, and observed that his steadfast commitment to democratic principles, social justice and public service continues to serve as a source of inspiration. His ideals and dedication to the nation remain an enduring legacy for generations to emulate, he said. Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan also paid tributes to Jayaprakash Narayan, terming him a towering patriot whose life embodied courage, conviction and an unwavering commitment to democracy.

His legacy continues to inspire us to uphold democratic values, serve society with integrity and work towards a just, accountable and empowered Bharat. Lok Nayaks ideals remain a timeless call to conscience, courage and nation-building, said the Jana Sena leader.

ED moves Telangana HC seeking speedy, daily trial against Jagan Mohan Reddy, others
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 10 (IANS) Invoking the right to speedy trial under Article 21 of the Constitution, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has moved the Telangana High Court seeking speedy and day-to-day trial in money laundering charge sheets filed against the former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and others, an official said on Saturday. The petition filed by the ED before the High Court on September 23 has also sought the personal appearance of all the accused, including YSR Congress Party President Jagan Mohan Reddy, in the charge sheets filed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, the official said in a statement. The ED approached the High Court with the prayer to direct the criminal justice system to ensure that proceedings are conducted with reasonable expedition, it said. The proceedings have remained pending in the Jagan Mohan Reddy case for nearly 10 years and the chronology of the proceedings itself demonstrates the absence of reasonable expedition in the prosecution of the matter, the ED said. The petition was filed before the High Court to conduct a speedy and day-to-day hearing/trial of the charge sheets filed along with discharge petitions mentioned, in the interest of justice, it added. The investigation pertained to alleged governmental favours extended to large corporate entities and individuals and the receipt of huge investments into companies of Jagan Mohan Reddy and his family members as part of a quid pro quo arrangement for the favours extended by the Andhra Pradesh government during his Chief Ministership, the ED said. The ED investigation was initiated on the basis of an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on the direction of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh under Sections 120-B read with 420 of IPC, 1860, and Section 13(2) read with 13(1)(c) and (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, against Jagan Mohan Reddy and others. The ED investigation revealed that substantial investments were made by companies and individuals such as Aurobindo Pharma, Hetero Drugs, Indu Projects, Indu Techzone, Lepakshi Knowledge Hub, VANPIC Projects, VANPIC Ports, Nimmagadda Prasad, Ramky Pharma City (India) Ltd, The India Cements Ltd, among others, through subscription of shares at exorbitant rates into companies such as Bharati Cement Corporation, Jagati Publications, and Janani Infrastructure, which are related to Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his family members. The ED filed nine charge sheets against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and others before the Special CBI Court at Nampally in Hyderabad between 2016 and 2021, the statement said. Cognisance was taken in all nine charge sheets and the cases remain pending for hearing of discharge petitions. The pendency of these discharge petitions has kept the charge sheets at a preliminary stage and consequently delayed further progress, the ED said. The ED added that even after considerable time has elapsed since cognisance was taken, there has been no significant progress in the proceedings before the Special CBI Court. Discharge petitions were heard by the Special Court but have not yet been decided due to transfers of presiding officers and other reasons. While considering the seriousness of the case, in one of the criminal appeals, No. 730 of 2013 (Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy vs CBI), the Supreme Court said that economic offences constitute a class apart and need to be visited with a different approach, the ED said. The apex court said that economic offences having deep-rooted conspiracies and involving huge loss of public funds need to be viewed seriously and considered as grave offences affecting the economy of the country as a whole and thereby posing serious threat to the financial health of the country.
Tribal Affairs Ministry says 25 lakh titles distributed under Forest Rights Act
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 10 (IANS) As many as 25 lakh titles have been distributed out of the 54 lakh claims received till August 31 under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (FRA), an official said on Saturday. Speaking at the Second Regional Review Conference on implementation of FRA in Kolkata, Joint Secretary, Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), said on Friday that out of over 54 lakh claims received nationally, about 11 lakh claims still remain pending at different stages. The official said over 18 lakh claims have been rejected, noting that Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Assam account for substantial pendency concentrated in particular districts, according to a statement. He highlighted that the Regional Conference focuses on the following key priorities such as timely disposal of pending claims and review of rejected claims in accordance with the Act and Rules, reconciliation of FRA data, digitisation of FRA case records, incorporation of recognised rights into revenue and forest records, acceleration of recognition of Community Forest Resource Rights and Habitat Rights recognition for PVTGs. The Conference brought together senior functionaries of the Tribal Welfare, Revenue and Forest Departments and Tribal Research Institutes of eight States, namely West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, said the statement. Additionally, senior officials of Andhra Pradesh were invited to share the best practices the State has undertaken on digitisation, integration of FRA titles into government records, taking up proactive measures on convergence of livelihood schemes with FRA titleholders and providing credit facilities to the right holders, said the statement. District officials- Collectors, Sub-Collectors and ITDP/ITDA Project Officers- from districts having a large pendency of FRA claims also attended to review the status of implementation and deliberate on a coordinated way forward. The Conference follows the First Regional Review Conference held in Bengaluru on September 10 for the Southern States. Secretary, MoTA, said that the FRA places the rights, dignity and aspirations of forest-dwelling communities at the heart of inclusive and sustainable development. She emphasised that recognised rights must be incorporated into Revenue and Forest records with accurate maps and that convergence with programmes for productive land use, housing and livelihoods must become a regular part of implementation. The Director, FRA, MoTA, presented the national scenario, including pendency in high-pendency States and priority districts. Her presentation also covered the importance of incorporating the Record of Forest Rights into revenue and forest records in line with the Ministrys advisory of June 24, 2026 and Habitat Rights under the Ministrys guidelines of January 5, 2026.

SC seeks response of States, UTs on plea alleging prolonged vacancies in power regulatory bodies
New Delhi, Oct 9: The Supreme Court on Friday sought a response from 15 states and the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh on a PIL filed by NGO Energy Watchdog seeking directions to ensure that their state electricity regulatory commissions are properly constituted under the law. The bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued notice on the PIL filed by the NGO through lawyer Pranav Sachdeva. The petitioner has sought the apex court's directions directing the states and UTs to take all steps to comply with the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003, and with the directions of the apex court in a verdict of April 2018 regarding composition of State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs). The plea said there were several statutory infractions, such as prolonged vacancies in the offices of chairperson and members and the complete absence of a person of law on the Commission, across 230 SERCs in the 15 states and the UTs. In the 2018 ruling, the Supreme Court held that SERCs have the rappings of the court and must have a suitably qualified person of law as a member, the plea said. It said the commissions across several states, including West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland, continue to lack a person of law despite this ruling. The plea said in Tamil Nadu, all three offices are vacant, while in Andhra Pradesh, the chairperson and member (technical) posts are vacant, and the Commission functions with a sole member (finance). It said that in West Bengal, only the chairperson's office has been created, and the incumbent does not have the required legal background. The plea said the failure strikes at consumers' access to justice under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution and, without the mandated person of law, consumers cannot get lawful adjudication of complaints under the Electricity Act. Consumers' access to that remedy cannot be made dependent upon indefinite executive inaction, the plea said. It sought directions to the states of West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Kerala, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram and Sikkim, and to the UTs of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, directing the authorities concerned to file a reply disclosing the steps taken to ensure that their SERCs had been constituted in compliance with the Electricity Act provisions.
Himanta Sarma writes to Andhra CM, seeks probe into Assam students death
Digital Desk | Visakhapatnam, Oct 9 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has written to his Andhra Pradesh counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidu and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, seeking a probe into the death of 21-year-old Himashree Boro, a student from Assam. The dead body of Himashree was found in Srikakulam after she went missing during a train journey on October 6. The young woman, who came to Visakhapatnam for an event, went missing after boarding the Vivek Express and was found dead in Srikakulam. She had reportedly expressed fear about the crowded coach, with her being the only female in the compartment. Government Railway Police (GRP) is probing whether she accidentally fell from the moving train or was pushed. Srikakulam district police have formed a special team along with the GRP to trace the men who were reportedly involved. Her body was found near Boddepalli, between the Amadalavalasa and Ponduru railway stations. The Assam Chief Minister wrote that Himashree, hailing from Kamrup district of Assam, travelled to Visakhapatnam as part of a dance troupe and was returning to Guwahati. She boarded the Dibrugarh Vivek Express at Visakhapatnam. On October 6, her family received a distressing message from her, expressing fear due to the presence of many men around her. Subsequently, she went missing. Her bag was found in the trains S2 coach, and her body was later recovered from a forested area near Malayapuram in Srikakulam district. In view of these circumstances, which raise a serious suspicion of foul play, the incident has caused profound grief and concern in Assam, wrote Himanta Biswa Sarma. He urged both Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to order a thorough, impartial and time-bound inquiry into the entire circumstances, including her boarding of the train, her disappearance, and the recovery of her body, so that the truth may be established. It is imperative that culprits, if any, are identified and brought to book at the earliest, wrote the Assam Chief Minister.

Supreme Court verdict exposes Naidu
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders on Friday lashed out at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of betraying Backward Classes (BCs) by failing to secure 34 per cent reservation in local-body elections, alleging that the Supreme Court verdict had exposed the state government's failure to establish a legally sustainable framework for the quota. Former ministers Chelluboyina Venugopala Krishna and Dharmana Prasada Rao said the Naidu government had promised 34 per cent reservation to the Backward Classes in its election manifesto despite being aware of the legal ceiling on reservations, but failed to complete the statutory and constitutional process required to protect the quota. Venugopala Krishna alleged that the government had deliberately wasted time instead of taking steps to safeguard BC reservations. He questioned why Naidu, despite being a key partner in the NDA government at the Centre, had not strongly raised the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home M...
Supreme Court verdict exposes Andhra CM's betrayal of BCs, says YSR Congress
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 9 (IANS) YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders and former Ministers Chelluboyina Venugopala Krishna and Dharmana Prasada Rao said on Friday that the Supreme Court judgment on Backward Class (BC) reservations exposed the N. Chandrababu Naidu-led Andhra Pradesh government's betrayal of BCs by failing to provide 34 per cent reservation to them in local body elections. They said Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had promised 34 per cent reservation in the election manifesto despite being fully aware of the legal ceiling on reservations, but failed to complete the statutory and constitutional process required to protect the quota. Venugopala Krishna said the state government deliberately wasted time instead of creating a legally sustainable framework. He questioned why Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, despite being a key ally in the NDA government at the Centre, had not raised the issue strongly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. If special efforts could be made in Parliament to provide legal backing to Amaravati, why was the same commitment not shown for 34 per cent BC reservation? he asked. He said that sending BC Ministers to Delhi to consult lawyers was not enough and that the state government should have exerted political pressure on the Centre for constitutional protection. He also rejected the state government's proposal to compensate BCs through party-level seat allocation, saying political tickets and statutory reservations were fundamentally different. He demanded that the state government complete the required legal process and conduct local body elections with 34 per cent BC reservation as promised. Dharmana Prasada Rao said the state government knew that aggregate reservations could not ordinarily cross the 50 per cent ceiling, yet issued orders that failed judicial scrutiny. He demanded an unconditional apology to BCs and called for a comprehensive empirical survey through a legally constituted commission rather than ad-hoc exercises or household data collection. Both leaders said that YSRCP Chief and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had demonstrated political commitment to BC representation even when statutory reservation faced judicial limitations. During the YSRCP government, BCs received four of 11 Rajya Sabha positions, 28 of 58 MLC positions, six of 13 Zilla Parishad Chairperson posts, nine of 13 Mayor posts, 44 of 84 Municipal Chairperson posts, 239 of 636 Mandal Praja Parishad President posts and 227 of 639 Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency positions. They said the Telugu Desam Party-led coalition government must stop blaming YSRCP for the loss of BC opportunities and instead explain why it failed to secure a legally sustainable 34 per cent quota. YSRCP would continue its fight until BCs receive statutory reservation and fair political representation, they added.

NDA will allot 34 pc tickets to Backward Classes in local body polls, says Andhra Pradesh CM
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 9 (IANS) The NDA in Andhra Pradesh will allocate 34 per cent of tickets in the upcoming local body elections to the Backward Classes (BCs), said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday after the Supreme Court dismissed the state government's plea challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court ruling that struck down 34 per cent reservation for BCs in local body elections. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President said the ruling alliance will field more than 34 per cent candidates from the BCs. He was addressing a public meeting after distribution of pattadar pass books among farmers at Narsingolu in Prakasam district. Chandrababu Naidu was speaking after the Supreme Court dismissed the state governments petition challenging the High Court order. On October 1, the Andhra Pradesh High Court struck down two government orders providing 34 per cent reservation for BCs in local body elections, holding that the quota breached the 50 per cent ceiling on total reservations. The High Court observed that the aggregate reservation for all categories in local bodies should not exceed 50 per cent in accordance with the Supreme Court's guidelines. Chief Minister Naidu had announced the enhanced quota on August 18, stating that BCs would get 34 per cent reservation in rural local bodies and 33.33 per cent in urban local bodies. Stating that BCs constitute more than 50 per cent of society, the Chief Minister claimed on Friday that they have stood as the backbone and a source of support for the TDP for 45 years. We implemented numerous changes to uplift them politically, economically, and socially. While NTR introduced 24 per cent reservation for BCs in local bodies, I increased it to 34 per cent; however, the previous government reduced it back to 24 per cent, he said. Chandrababu Naidu said when the coalition government tried to increase the reservation again, the YSR Congress Party approached the courts and blocked it. The 'Axe Party' holds an aversion towards BCs. Nevertheless, the NDA alliance will allocate 34 per cent of the seats to them, he said. Under the Mee Bhumi-Mee Hakku programme, the Chief Minister distributed pattadar passbooks among farmers. He said the government was distributing error-free pattadar passbooks. It has so far distributed 40.58 lakh passbooks. In October alone, we gave passbooks with royal seal to over 4 lakh farmers in 790 villages, he said. Targeting YSRCP, Naidu alleged that there was no security of lands in the previous regime. Whether at home or outside, one has to live in fear. It created more problems than ever. A void was created in all systems. We are moving towards development by solving those problems with double engine sarkar, he said.
ED raids 10 places in Odisha, Bengal over Odisha Police SI exam paper leak
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 9 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Bhubaneswar Zone, on Friday launched a search operation at ten places located in Odisha and West Bengal in connection with the leak of the question paper for the Sub-Inspector Recruitment Exam-2024 in Odisha. Sources revealed that searches were being carried out at premises linked to the alleged prime accused Shankar Prusty and his associates involved in the multi-crore SI recruitment scam. The case emanates from an FIR filed by Orissa Police in October 2025 when Orissa Police, on 30.09.2025, intercepted three buses carrying 114 candidates near the bordering area of Ichhapuram (Border town of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha) for leaking the question paper of SI Recruitment Exam scheduled to be conducted on 5th and 6th October 2025, in lieu of cash ranging between Rs.15 to Rs.30 Lakh per candidate, informed ED sources. On the recommendation of Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, the case, which was being investigated by the Odisha Police Crime Branch, was subsequently transferred to the CBI. ED sources also added that the question paper was allegedly leaked by the persons associated with the entities to whom the work of conducting the exam was assigned. Candidates were approached by the associates, and they were lured for providing the question paper in lieu of money and their original certificates were taken as a guarantee. During the searches, the role of agencies and associate persons are being examined. M/s Silicon Techlab Private Limited and M/s Panchsoft Technology Private Limited and their directors, along with other persons are being covered during the searches, noted ED sources. It is worth noting that the alleged mastermind behind the multi-crore Odisha Police SI recruitment examination scam, Shankar Prusty, was arrested by the Crime Branch team from Uttarakhand in November 2025. Shankar Prusty, a director of Panchsoft Technologies, was nabbed by the sleuths from near the Nepal border in Uttarakhand on Saturday while he was trying to flee the country.
