One of these cases, filed by the Nirmal District Police Association president, was initially registered at the Nirmal police station in 2023 and later transferred to the Begum Bazar police station. The complainant alleged that during a press conference at the Gandhi Bhavan on August 14, 2023, Revanth, who was then the TPCC president, used filthy language against the state police and threatened to strip Mahbubnagar cops of their uniforms. A similar case was registered in 2023 at Nalgonda II Town police station, where the complainant alleged that Revanth made derogatory remarks against the police during a party meeting at the Gandhi Bhavan. The complaint claimed that the purported remarks were widely circulated in the media. The complaint further stated that such remarks demoralise the police force and were made for political gain. Revanth has denied the allegations, and the court scheduled the next hearing for March 27. In another case, filed at Peddavoora police station in Nalgonda, the chief minister is accused of violating Covid-19 regulations by campaigning without wearing a mask or maintaining social distancing during the 2021 byelection.

Telangana deputy CM Bhatti bats for states autonomy in education sector
HYDERABAD: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka criticised the new University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, likening it to a system where one is forced to pay the bill in a restaurant without being allowed to choose their meal. Speaking at the National Convention on Higher Education organised in Thiruvananthapuram, Vikramarka said that the Centre, while expecting states to provide funds and run universities, was depriving them of any role in the appointment of vice-chancellors as well as admissions. If this situation is allowed to continue, then the states would be confined to cutting ribbons at the inauguration of buildings, he said sarcastically. Vikramarka said that the education sector was in the concurrent list and it was not the monopoly of the Union government. States should build educational institutions and systems suitable for their people and social setups. There would not be many similarities between any two states, he said and added that no state could provide quality education without autonomy. All states should emphatically convey their opinion on such an important priority subject without merely confining themselves to the discussions alone, he added. When states stand united with a common objective, the Centre must listen. States are not mere administrative units but lifelines for the progress of the country, he added. Right to choose right path Stating that the Telangana government was ready to organise the next conference in Hyderabad, Vikramarka stressed the need to formulate an action plan on behalf of states. States have the right to choose the right path. If the right decision is not taken, states would have to face serious consequences in the future, he cautioned. Special challenges Only states know students aspirations, their pulse and special challenges to be overcome. Delhi cannot run the education sector with a remote control. The Centre should formulate policies in tune with the requirements of states. If it believes in the spirit of federalism, then it should discuss it with the states, he added. Vikramarka also made a PowerPoint presentation, seeking more autonomy for states in education and health sectors. He recalled that in Rajasthan vs Union of India, the Supreme Court noted that India was bound by the federal Constitution. In Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala, the court noted that federalism was the basic feature of the Indian Constitution, he pointed out. Eliminating the role of state governments in the appointment of vice-chancellors and search committees, and amending the eligibility criteria of vice-chancellors were a matter of serious concern, he said Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Kerala Higher Education Minister R Bindu, Karnataka Minister for Higher Education MC Sudhakar, Tamil Nadu Minister for Higher Education of TG Chezhian, Punjab education minister Harjot Singh Bains and prominent educationists attended the convention.
Telangana's Bhupalpally tense after Medigadda complainants murder
BHUPALPALLY: A day after the brutal killing of Nagavelli Rajalingamurthy, an activist who had filed a police complaint against former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and others, alleging corruption in the construction of Medigadda barrage, tension prevailed in Bhupalpally on Thursday. Rajalingamurthys wife Sarala, a former councillor, and other relatives of the deceased staged a protest in front of the Bhupalpally Town Police Station in the early hours of Thursday. Police tried to pacify the victims kin, assuring them that all culprits would be brought to justice at the earliest. Sarala had lodged a complaint late on Wednesday night, based on which the Bhupalpally police registered a case past midnight. Police have reportedly taken five suspects into custody and also seized the weapons used in the crime. It is learnt that the police had to correct the date mentioned in the complaint filed by Sarala from January 20 to February 20. The correction was made in the complaint copy with the consent of the complainant. It was also changed in the remand report, said Bhupalpally DSP A Sampath Rao. In her complaint, Sarala mentioned that they had a dispute with the accused Renikuntla Komuraiah and Renikuntla Sanjeev over a piece of land, which is on the opposite side of the Bhupalpally Town Police Station. The case was in the civil court and the verdict was expected to be in our favour. In this background, the accused Sanjeev, Komuraiah, Shemanth Pingil, Kumar More and Kumar Kothuri planned to kill my husband. They waylaid my husband while he was travelling on a bike and hit him with iron rods and stabbed him with a knife, she said. DSP A Sampath Rao, speaking to TNIE, said: Based on Saralas complaint, we have registered a case under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 61(2), 126(2), 103(2), r/w 190 of BNS. The investigation is on. We will definitely arrest the culprits, even if they are influential, as per law.
Minister Komatireddy alleges BRS leaders' involvement in activist's murder, demands CID probe
HYDERABAD: Roads & Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy alleged that BRS leaders, including its president K Chandrasekhar Rao, working president KT Rama Rao, T Harish Rao and Gandra Venkataramana Reddy, were behind the murder of social activist N Rajalingamurthy in Bhupalpally on Wednesday night. Addressing the media at the Gandhi Bhavan here on Thursday, Venkat Reddy requested Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to order a CID probe into the ghastly crime and bring the guilty to justice. He also demanded that the case be tried in a fast-track court. Referring to BRS leaders, the minister said: I dont understand how you were born in Telangana. The BRS is promoting murders. They should eschew murder politics as it is not in Telanganas culture. Do you stoop to the level of murdering someone if he questions you and your corruption? The minister stated that Rajalingamurthy was fighting a legal battle in connection with the collapse of the three piers of the Medigadda barrage ahead of the Assembly elections in 2023. He had filed cases against former CM KCR and Harish Rao, he said. The minister also alleged that the former chief minister gave a BRS ticket to a person responsible for the murder of advocate couple Gattu Vamana Rao and his wife PV Nagamani near Manthani on February 17, 2021. The minister also alleged that Harish Rao was raising the Krishna waters issue now to divert peoples attention from the murder of Rajalingamurthy. He also claimed that Harish Rao was, in a way, responsible for the death of Srikantha Chari during the Telangana movement.
BRS leader denies involvement in Rajalingamurthy's murder, calls allegations baseless
BHUPALPALLY: Dismissing as baseless the allegations made by Sarala that he was behind the murder of her husband Rajalingamurthy, former MLA Gandra Venkata Ramana Reddy on Thursday said that neither he nor the BRS had anything to do with the killing. Finding fault with Congress leader and minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy backing Saralas statement, he said: The BRS never entertains such criminal politics. The party has nothing to do with Rajalingamurthys murder. Locals as well as police know that he was involved in several land disputes and those were the reason behind the murder. If the Congress government orders a CBI investigation, we are ready to face it, he added. Sarala alleged Ramana Reddy and his supporters hatched a conspiracy to eliminate her husband. Renikuntla Komuraiah and Renikuntla Sanjeev and others sketched the map for my husbands murder, she claimed. A few days ago, Renikuntla Komuraiah invited us to a function at his residence. But my husband did not attend it out of fear. My husband had filed a petition in court against KCR, Harish Rao and others, alleging corruption in the execution of Kaleshwaram project. Because of this, KTR asked Ramana Reddy to eliminate my husband, she went on to allege.

Andhra drawing excess water but Telangana Government in deep slumber: BRS MLA Harish
HYDERABAD: BRS MLA and former irrigation minister T Harish Rao on Thursday alleged that the Telangana government was in deep slumber even as the AP government was illegally diverting Krishna river waters. Speaking to reporters, Harish claimed that there was no action from the government even though the state is set to face a drinking and irrigation water crisis in the summer. He said that there was a danger of standing crops in one lakh acres drying up in the state. Around 10,000 cusecs of water is being diverted by AP from Nagarjunasagar right canal. The BRS government used to divert water to parched lands. But the present Congress is unable to protect the interests of the farmers, he alleged. Against the ad hoc allocation of 512 tmcft to AP, it diverted 657 tmcft from Krishna river so far, Harish Rao claimed and wondered why the Congress was silent on this issue. In the last 25 days alone, AP diverted 60 tmcft water, he said. The Siddipet MLA said: Krishna river received 1,010 tmcft this year. As per the ad hoc arrangement, the share of AP should be 666 tmcft. But it already used 657 tmcft. The balance to AP was just nine tmcft. In the same ratio, Telangana should get 343 tmcft. But it got only 220 tmcft. The balance due to Telangana was 123 tmcft. But the available water is only 100 tmcft, he said. Harish Rao said that farmers in Suryapet and Khammam need more water to save the standing crops. People in Khammam, Mahabubabad, Nalgonda, Suryapet and Hyderabad need Krishna water for drinking purposes. To meet these requirements, the government should stop the illegal drawing of water by AP government, he suggested. If the government is unable to do this, then it should lead an all-party delegation to KRMB or Ministry of Jal Shakti to stage a dharna before those offices, he added.
Telangana Minister Uttam: BRS peddling lies to cover up past mistakes
HYDERABAD: Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that gross injustice was done to Telangana in river water sharing during the BRS regime. He alleged that the BRS failed to protect the rights of the state in river waters. Speaking to reporters, along with his Cabinet colleagues Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and Ponnam Prabhakar, at Jala Soudha on Thursday, Uttam alleged that the BRS leaders were uttering lies to cover up their past mistakes. The BRS government borrowed over Rs 1 lakh crore for the Kaleshwaram project, which was plagued by faulty design, poor construction and zero maintenance. The Medigadda barrage, which BRS described as the heart of Kaleshwaram, collapsed during their own rule, he alleged. Instead of admitting their failures, KCR, Harish Rao and others were shamelessly claiming that only one pillar had collapsed, he added. Uttam said that the BRS government spent Rs 1.81 lakh crore on irrigation projects but failed to achieve any significant ayacut expansion. He accused the previous government of helping AP float tenders for the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) by prompting cancellation of the Apex Council meeting. KRMB data shows that from 2014-15 to 2020-21, Andhra Pradesh consistently utilised over 64% of Krishna river water while Telanganas share remained below 36%. In 2014-15, AP used 529.33 tmcft while Telangana got only 227.74 tmcft (30.08%). By 2020-21, AP had further increased its usage to 629.07 tmcft, leaving Telangana with just 248.23 tmcft. The BRS government failed to take strong legal or political action, allowing Andhra Pradesh to continue its excess withdrawals, he said. The irrigation minister said that the SLBC tunnel works would be completed 100% under the Congress government, which is actively reclaiming control of Nagarjunasagar components from AP. Our government is working tirelessly to rectify the damage done by the BRS government. Telanganas rightful water share will not be compromised, he added.

Kerala, TN, Karnataka, Telangana adopt joint resolution against UGC draft rules, demand withdrawal
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala government-sponsored national convention on UGC draft regulations, 2025, attended by ministers of three other non-BJP ruled southern states, has passed a 15-point resolution mainly demanding the withdrawal of the regulations that diminishes the role of the states and goes against the federal spirit of the Constitution. Inaugurating the convention, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the regulations can only be viewed as part of an effort to undermine democratic values in higher education and to place the sector under the control of those promoting religious and communal ideologies. Pinarayi said the regulations infringe upon the powers of the states in legislating higher education and thus undermine the federal foundations of the country. The Chief Minister said the Union Government and UGC were trying to exclude state governments from their administration of universities. It cannot be the case that states will not have any real control over the universities established by laws enacted by State assemblies and run using the states financial and administerial resources, he added. Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan who appreciated the governments efforts in organising the convention, reminded that the UGC should function within its Constitutional mandate. Higher Education Minister R Bindu who presided over the event said the draft regulations not only violate constitutional provisions but also threaten to dilute academic quality in state universities. Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the draft regulations have left states as mere onlookers in their own universities. Similar views against the transgressions of the Union government and the UGC were echoed by MC Sudhakar and Govi Chezhiaan the higher education ministers of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu respectively.
PIL filed against KCR for skipping assembly sessions; allegations of suppressing farmers' voices
PIL filed against KCR for skipping Assembly sessions General Secretary of Federation of Farmers Associations in Telangana D Vijaypal Reddy filed a PIL in the Telangana High Court, challenging the prolonged absence of BRS president and Leader of Opposition K Chandrashekar Rao from the Legislative Assembly since December 2023. The petitioner alleged that the former CMs absence was an intentional act aimed at suppressing the voice of the people, particularly farmers. Comments against Revanth: KTR files quash petition BRS working president and Sircilla MLA KT Rama Rao filed a criminal petition under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, seeking quashing of proceedings in a case related to certain remarks he made against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, which is pending before the III Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate at Nampally, Hyderabad. The case stems from an FIR registered at the Banjara Hills police station on March 29, 2024, based on a complaint lodged by TPCC member Bathini Srinivas Rao, invoking Sections 504 and 505(2) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The complaint alleged that on March 27, 2024, at the BRS party office in Banjara Hills, Rama Rao accused Revanth of collecting Rs 2,500 crore from contractors and builders and sending the funds to Delhi. Meanwhile, Rama Rao and MLA Muta Gopal filed a Criminal Petition under Section 528 of the BNSS, seeking quashing of the proceedings in a case that is currently pending before the Special Judicial First-Class Magistrate for Excise Court, Nampally. The case stems from an FIR registered at the Musheerabad police station on November 27, 2023, based on a complaint filed by SI R Prem Kumar, alleging that during a roadshow, firecrackers were burst, violating the poll code.
BJP will secure all three MLC seats, says Union Minister Kishan
YADADRI-BHUVANAGIRI: Union Coal & Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy expressed confidence on Thursday that the BJP candidates will secure all three MLC seats in the upcoming elections. Speaking during an election meeting in Bhuvanagiri, Kishan said that people are now looking to support the BJP in future elections as they are angry with the Congress government over its unfulfilled promises. The Congress government is facing intense criticism from all corners. People are angry, and its clear that they are losing confidence in the present dispensation, he said. Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy failed to fulfil the promises made to Telanganas youth with regard to providing jobs. The Congress government failed to reimburse students fee, causing hardship to economically weaker sections, he said. The Union minister also accused the Congress and BRS of engaging in behind-the-scenes political manoeuvring to defeat the BJP candidates. Referring to the current political situation in Telangana, he remarked: The Congress replaced BRS in power but the state continues to suffer from corruption at every level. The people of Telangana are now questioning both the parties. Meanwhile, Kishan called for a thorough investigation into the brutal murder of Nagavelli Rajalingamurthy, who had filed a case alleging corruption in the construction of the Medigadda barrage. Stating that the incident should not be politicised, he said: The police should conduct a detailed and unbiased investigation into Rajalingamurthys murder.
Pharma firm assets attached for exporting opioids to Pakistan
HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad zonal office of the Enforcement Directorate has provisionally attached immovable properties belonging to Lucent Drugs Pvt Ltd. worth Rs 5.67 crore under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
