Sonia Gandhi delivered Telangana and will deliver the six guarantees too: Rahul
The Hindu
BJP, MIM, and BRS are working together to protect KCR's corruption, says Rahul.
Congress promised separate statehood to Telangana and delivered it; so have no doubts about Congress implementing all six guarantees with a similar commitment, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, foreseeing the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) government “going away in the next 100 days” despite the collective effort of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM).
Announcing the six guarantees of the Congress to Telangana at a massive public meeting in Tukkuguda here, Mr.Gandhi said Congress was not fighting just the BRS in Telangana but a combined team of BRS, MIM and the BJP. “They are all working together and that is why there are no raids on Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao by the CBI, ED or IT department despite the BRS government knocking off ₹1 lakh crore in the Kaleshwaram project,” he claimed. “These agencies are after all Opposition leaders but not KCR.”
Claiming that KCR “broke all the records of corruption”, he said BRS looted money from the Kaleshwaram project and lands given to Dalits through the Dharani portal. The TSPSC paper leak and two lakh vacancies being unfilled are also part of that loot. “We want to give you your money back,” he said.
Speaking about his mother and Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi, he said she does what she wants and fulfils promises come what may, though she may not speak authoritatively. “She fulfilled her promise of a separate Telangana and now she will fulfil your dreams,” she said.
Nalgonda MP N.Uttam Kumar Reddy translated the speeches of Ms.Sonia Gandhi and Mr. Rahul Gandhi into Telugu. TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy and other leaders made brief speeches, seeking people’s help to strengthen the hands of Sonia Gandhi and bring back Congress rule in Telangana.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
