Hyderabad, October 31 (IANS). Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday launched the campaign for the by-election in the Jubilee Hills assembly constituency. During this he accused BRS and BJP of maintaining ‘Fevicol Bond’. He accused former chief minister and BRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR), party working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) and union minister G. Kishan Reddy of spreading propaganda against the Jana government and obstructing the development of the state. Addressing a street meeting in Vengal Rao Nagar, he said that BJP leaders were maintaining secret relations with BRS. He said that BJP’s victory in eight Lok Sabha seats last year was proof of this. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy hit out at Union Minister Kishan Reddy for ‘obstructing’ the Musi project and the expansion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail. He asked whether Kishan Reddy and another Union minister, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, had brought any money for the state. The chief minister said, “They are shamelessly saying that they will bomb Jubilee Hills. BJP MPs are walking around in Jubilee Hills without asking money from PM Modi.” He said that after winning the by-elections, the Congress had started major development projects in Secunderabad Cantonment at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore. He appealed to the voters of Jubilee Hills to support Congress candidate Naveen Yadav. He said, “This is the time for constituency development, not for sentiments. There are ups and downs in politics. It will be a historic mistake if the Congress does not get a win in the by-elections.” The by-election in Jubilee Hills will be held on November 11. This by-election became necessary due to the demise of sitting BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath. The opposition party fielded his wife Maganti Sunita. BJP again gave a ticket to Lankala Deepak Reddy. The chief minister accused KTR of not taking care of Jubilee Hills during his 10-year tenure as municipal administration and urban development minister. Reacting to BRS’s allegations against the Congress candidate, the Chief Minister said, “The then rulers looted the state and never came to Jubilee Hills to resolve public grievances. People should decide for themselves who the miscreants are. BRS leaders promoted drug abuse and Naveen Yadav always stood by the poor of his area.” The chief minister also raised questions over the objection raised by the BJP over the inclusion of Congress leader Mohammad Azharuddin in his cabinet. The Chief Minister asked, “Why is the BJP so upset about Azharuddin getting a ministerial post?” He promised to take the responsibility for the development of Jubilee Hills after the by-elections with the support of Azharuddin and Naveen Yadav. –IANS SCH

New Delhi, October 31 (IANS). Our kitchen is actually a small dispensary, it is only necessary that we have some knowledge of Ayurveda. We find many herbs around it, which are very beneficial for our health. One of these is ginger, which is called Shunthi in Ayurveda. Ginger is not only a taste-enhancing spice, but is also a panacea for stomach, joints, colds, coughs and even weight loss. The taste of ginger is sharp (bitter), the quality is heavy and smooth (guru-snigdha), the seed is considered hot and sweet after proper digestion. It is a vata-kapha destroyer, but may slightly increase bile. It is difficult to count the benefits of ginger. It increases digestive power, removes the problem of indigestion and gas, increases appetite and gives energy to the body. In case of cold and cough, ginger increases the body’s immunity and helps in the removal of mucus. Ginger is also very helpful in joint pain and swelling. Ginger is also very effective in nausea and vomiting. It keeps the heart healthy, improves blood circulation and balances cholesterol. Ginger accelerates metabolism, which improves the fat burning process. It is also easy to use. Chew fresh ginger with lemon and rock salt before meals, take dried ginger (dry ginger) powder with warm water twice a day. In case of cold and cough, eat ginger and honey mixed or add basil, cinnamon and cloves to ginger tea. In case of joint pain, heat ginger powder with turmeric and mustard oil and massage gently. For weight loss, drink lemon juice and ginger juice in the morning on an empty stomach in lukewarm water. In case of cough and headache, apply dried ginger on the forehead, in case of sore throat, take a mixture of ginger and honey. However, ginger is hot in nature, so people with heat or pitta dominant nature should take it in limited quantity.

New Delhi, October 31 (IANS). Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan hit back at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement accusing RSS and BJP. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that there has been no change in the oppressive mindset of the Congress Party since the Emergency till today. This became his basic character. He said that today the Congress President used lies only to make his political gains, the same Congress which always ignored the legacy of Sardar Patel Saheb. And now suddenly by using the name of Sardar Patel Sahib they are spreading lies against an organization dedicated to national service like RSS. The Union Minister said that this is not the first time that this Congress mentality, which is turning the entire country into a prison house for dissenters in democracy, is talking about imposing restrictions. Earlier these people also tried to ban RSS to preserve their power and appeasement politics. He said that these are the same people who promote terrorist organizations like PFI during their state governments. On the other hand, they always spew venom against Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. But Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has continuously moved forward in the service of Maa Bharati. Despite such threats from the Congress, the RSS has completed its journey of 100 glorious years of national service, to which the entire country stands witness. In fact, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge released a video on social media platform ‘X’ saying that BJP leaders always say that there are differences between Nehru and Sardar Patel, while Nehru himself called Sardar Patel ‘the architect of India’s unity’. At the same time, Patel Saheb called Pandit Nehru ‘the ideal of the country and the leader of the people’. –IANS MS/DKP Share this story Tags
