Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao’s meeting with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav assumed significance amid the ongoing political slugfest between the Mahagathbandhan and the BJP in Bihar
Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao reached Patna on Wednesday and met his counterpart Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
At an event, Mr. Rao also pledged financial assistance to the family members of five Galwan valley martyrs and 12 migrant workers who were killed in a fire accident in Hyderabad on March 23 this year.
“We are citizens of two great rivers of the country Ganga and Godavari. Godavari is known as Ganga in South India. I wanted to visit Bihar earlier but couldn’t come due to lack of time,” he said.
“Now, when got an invitation, I reached here to honour those martyrs and the workers killed in a fire accident in Hyderabad,” said Mr. Rao during the programme.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also addressed the audience at the event held at the Chief Minister’s Secretariat, and praised Mr. Rao for his contribution in making Telangana a separate state.
“You had been fighting for Telangana as a separate state for long and you make it happen more than others. We all have been witness to it but I wonder how and what some people keep saying something against you,” Mr. Kumar said.
He also said that “for some time we also had gone there (making oblique reference to the BJP) but have come back again.”
“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.”
