Bandi gets heroic welcome at Parade Grounds
Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar got a heroic welcome at Parade Grounds on Saturday as he arrived for Modi’s public meeting, with the cadre carrying him on their shoulders with slogans renting the air “CM CM”.
The BJP cadre vied with each other to take selfies with him as they carried him on their shoulders till the VVIP enclosure where the seating arrangements were made for the State leaders. Rajya Sabha member K. Lakshman, Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind, and MLAs Eatala Rajender and Raghunandan Rao were present.
Dr. Lakshman said that the Prime Minister exposed the BRS’ failures and the response from people showcased how they were vexed with the State government. He thanked Mr. Modi for announcing several projects for Telangana “despite the State government’s reluctance to cooperate”.
The huge crowd carried placards to get the PM’s attention as he was speaking. Farmers who suffered from the recent crop loss due to the rains and those who lost land due to irrigation projects also carried placards seeking justice.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
The 16th edition of Bhoomi Habba was held on June 8, at the Visthar campus. The festival drew a vibrant crowd who came together to celebrate eco-consciousness through a variety of engaging activities, creative workshops, panel discussions, interactive exhibits and performances, all centered around this year’s theme: “Save Water, Save Lives.”
