Noted Gandhian Krishna Bharati dies; PM Modi, Andhra CM Naidu pay tribute

Business Standard

Noted Gandhian and social worker Pasala Krishna Bharati passed away at her residence here on Sunday due to old age. She was 92. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed sorrow at her passing. Known for her work in promoting education among the less privileged, especially Dalits, and donations to academic institutions and 'goshalas (cow shelters)' and others, Krishna Bharati was born to Pasala Krishna Murthy and Anja Lakshmi, both well-known freedom fighters. Krishna Murthy was an associate of Mahatma Gandhi, especially during his visits to coastal Andhra Pradesh. Hailing from the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, Krishna Bharati was born in a jail when her parents were incarcerated during the freedom movement. She chose to remain unmarried. Significantly, Modi took Krishna Bharati's blessings when he visited the district's Bhimavaram town in 2022. In a post on X, Chief Minister Naidu paid homage to Krishna Bharati,

DMK-backed JAC tells Centre to extend delimitation freeze by 25 more years

Business Standard

Asserting that the proposed delimitation exercise based on population would not be "fair" to southern states, the DMK-led Joint Action Committee meeting on Saturday demanded that the Centre should extend the freeze on Parliamentary constituencies, based on the 1971 Census population, by another 25 years and decided to submit a joint representation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the ongoing Parliamentary session. A political consensus also emerged to fight against "population" as the yardstick to determine delimitation and it was resolved during the meeting, which was held to ensure "fair delimitation", not to lose representation for southern states. Politically, the meeting, which was attended by three chief ministers, a deputy CM and leaders of 14 parties including the BRS, BJD andD from six states in a show of solidarity on the issue, was a shot in the arm for Chief Minister M K Stalin and his party DMK, ahead of the Assembly election in Tamil Nadu next year.

Addressing media, Rane demanded that the police register an FIR and arrest the former minister (read Aaditya Thackeray). "When he was chief minister, Uddhav Thackeray called me twice during the COVID pandemic and requested me not to drag his son in the Disha Salian case," the BJP MP claimed. The former Union minister further claimed he told Thackeray that he had not named anybody and only referred to a minister in his press conference. "Register an FIR based on the evidence gathered so far and arrest him (Aaditya)," Rane said. Rane and Thackeray, both former chief ministers, are bitter rivals. Uddhav Thackeray had rubbished the claim and said his son Aaditya was not even remotely connected to the case. Aaditya too said the charges were an attempt to malign him and he would answer them in...
