Six guarantees inspired by YSR, says Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad, July 8 (IANS) Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said on Monday that the six guarantees announced by the Congress party in Assembly elections were inspired by former Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR).

He paid rich tributes to the late Congress leader on his 75th birth anniversary celebrations held at Gandhi Bhavan, the headquarters of Telangana Congress.

The Chief Minister said that his government’s plans for the Musi Riverfront Development project, Metro Rail, Krishna and Godavari waters and attracting investments in Hyderabad were all inspired by YSR.

Revanth Reddy stated that YSR’s Padayatra also influenced Rahul Gandhi to embark on his Bharat Jodo Yatra. He recalled that the departed senior leader’s yatra helped bring Congress to power in united Andhra Pradesh. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo yatra was instrumental in Congress coming to power in Telangana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh.

The Chief Minister recalled that after coming to power for a second consecutive term in 2009, YSR wanted to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister. “YSR left us even before Rahul Gandhi ascended to the PM’s post. With the inspiration of YSR, all the Congress workers should strive hard to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister,” he said.

Asserting that Rahul Gandhi is already working hard as the Leader of Opposition, Revanth Reddy claimed that he is just one step away from assuming the PM’s post. He remarked that the country will develop only under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.

He said all Congress workers should take oath to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister. “Posts and positions are not important for Rahul Gandhi. The Congress leader would have become the PM in 2004 and 2014,” he said, adding that the entire country was waiting for Rahul Gandhi to become the PM.

Revanth Reddy said that the development that took place during the YSR regime is most useful for Telangana. “YSR is synonymous with welfare and the entire country remembers the great leader,” he said and urged all the political parties and leaders to implement the welfare schemes launched by YSR.

He mentioned that he took charge as TPCC President on July 7, 2021. He claimed that despite facing numerous hurdles in three years, he brought the party to power in Telangana.

A 3.2 magnitude tremor struck Gujarat’s Kutch district on Wednesday morning, according to the Institute of Seismological Research (ISR).

The district administration reported no casualties or property damage following the quake.

The tremor occurred at 10:24 am, with its epicenter located 23 kilometers north-northeast (NNE) of Bhachau, as per the Gandhinagar-based ISR.

Last month, the region experienced four seismic events exceeding a magnitude of 3, including a 3.2 magnitude tremor just three days ago, with its epicenter also near Bhachau.

Earlier tremors in the area included a 3.7 magnitude earthquake on December 23 and a 3.2 magnitude event on December 7, according to ISR reports.

Kutch was also jolted by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake on November 18, 2024. On November 15, a 4.2 magnitude quake hit Patan in north Gujarat, based on ISR data.

Gujarat is considered a high-risk earthquake zone, having experienced nine major earthquakes over the past 200 years, according to the Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA). The 2001 earthquake in Kutch, which occurred on January 26, was the third-largest and second-most destructive in India in the last two centuries, according to the GSDMA.

Diljit Dosanjh faces legal action over concert songs

Published

on

Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh’s much-anticipated New Year’s Eve concert in Ludhiana faced legal hurdles after a complaint was filed by Punditrao Dharenavar, an assistant professor from Chandigarh.

Following the complaint, the Deputy Director of the Women and Child Department, Government of Punjab, issued a formal notice to Ludhiana’s District Commissioner, urging them to prohibit Dosanjh from performing specific songs during his live show on December 31, 2024.

The notice specifically targets songs accused of promoting alcohol, including Patiala Peg, 5 Tara Theke, and Case (Jeeb Vicho Feem Labbiya), even if the lyrics are slightly modified. The complaint points to previous warnings issued to Dosanjh by various commissions advising against performing these controversial tracks.

Despite these warnings, the singer allegedly continues to perform the songs with minor alterations. Dharenavar raised serious concerns about the influence of such music on young audiences, especially when minors are present at live events.

Adding to the controversy, Dharenavar referenced a 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court ruling, which directed law enforcement to ensure that songs promoting alcohol, drugs, or violence are not played at public events, including concerts. This ruling underscores the legal basis for the complaint and has further intensified the scrutiny surrounding the event.

Suchir Balaji’s mother alleges Murder

Suchir Balaji’s mother alleges Murder

The mother of Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher found dead after accusing the company of copyright violations, has alleged that her son was “murdered” and called for a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe.

Poornima Rao, Suchir’s mother, claimed her son’s death was a “cold-blooded murder” that authorities wrongly ruled as suicide. She further disclosed that a private autopsy report conflicted with the findings of the initial police investigation.

Rao alleged that her son’s apartment had been “ransacked” and cited evidence of a struggle in the bathroom, including bloodstains that suggested he had been assaulted.

“We hired a private investigator and conducted a second autopsy to uncover the truth. The private autopsy does not confirm the cause of death stated by the police. Suchir’s apartment was ransacked, there were signs of a struggle in the bathroom, and it appears he was hit based on blood spots. This is a cold-blooded murder being misclassified as a suicide. Lobbying in San Francisco won’t deter us from seeking justice. We demand an FBI investigation,” Rao wrote on X.

Elon Musk reacted to Rao’s post, commenting, “This doesn’t seem like a suicide.”

Balaji was discovered dead in his San Francisco apartment months after accusing OpenAI of violating copyright laws during the development of ChatGPT, as reported by Fox News. Despite these claims, the San Francisco Police Department found no evidence of foul play and ruled the death a suicide.

On October 24, shortly before his death, Balaji voiced doubts about the “fair use” defense in generative artificial intelligence. “I recently participated in a NYT story about fair use and generative AI, and why I’m skeptical ‘fair use’ would be a plausible defense for a lot of generative AI products,” he wrote on X.
