Revanth spreading lies, should look at Congress-ruled Punjab: Jeevan Reddy
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) refuted the allegations of growing drug culture in Telangana and said that Congress should check the situation in Punjab, ruled by it, before making baseless allegations.
At a press conference here on Tuesday, Armoor MLA Jeevan Reddy and MLC Mallesham condemned the allegations made by TPCC president Revanth Reddy during his visit to console the rape victim’s family in Singareni Colony.
Mr. Jeevan Reddy said that the rape and murder of the six-year-old was unfortunate and the government was committed to catch the accused and punish him. “For every issue, the Chief Minister need not visit and on his directions, the District Collector was helping the family,” he said.
Hampi, the UNESCO-recognised historical site, was the capital of the Vijayanagara empire from 1336 to 1565. Foreign travellers from Persia, Europe and other parts of the world have chronicled the wealth of the place and the unique cultural mores of this kingdom built on the banks of the Tungabhadra river. There are fine descriptions to be found of its temples, farms, markets and trading links, remnants of which one can see in the ruins now. The Literature, architecture of this era continue inspire awe.

Iz, who goes by the pronouns they/them, explains, “This building is still standing, though it shut down in 2013,” they say, pointing out that telegraphy, which started in Bengaluru in 1854, was an instrument of colonial power and control. “The British colonised lands via telegraph cables, something known as the All Red Line.”
