										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="373" data-end="748">BRS working president <strong data-start="395" data-end="413">K. T. Rama Rao</strong> said the panchayat results marked the beginning of the Congress collapse. Although Congress tried to control the situation, people rejected its style of governance. He noted that BRS supporters won many seats despite strong resistance from ruling party leaders. Moreover, he appreciated workers who stood firm against alleged attacks.</p>
<p data-start="750" data-end="1167">KTR said the Chief Minister’s tours failed to influence voters. Instead, rural voters showed clear anger at the government. He pointed out that Congress could not cross even 44 percent of the seats it contested. Therefore, he argued that the results proved people were unhappy with Revanth Reddy’s administration. He added that the BJP still lacked real strength in Telangana, while BRS remained the main alternative.</p>
<p data-start="1169" data-end="1550">He further said villagers realised that development had stalled under Congress rule. Many candidates of the ruling party lost by narrow margins, and that, according to him, reflected public frustration. Additionally, he stated that villagers expected better progress but saw no improvement during the last two years. Consequently, the ruling party faced a setback in rural regions<a href="https://www.indiapodcast.com/arunachal-cm-pema-khandus-family-firms-received-146-government-contracts-worth-%e2%82%b9383-crore-affidavit-to-supreme-courthttps-www-indiapodcast-com-p35190previewtrue/">.</a></p>
<p data-start="1552" data-end="1821">KTR said voters remembered the unfulfilled guarantees. Farmers, he noted, struggled with urea shortages and low crop prices. Pension delays, Mahalakshmi issues, and bonus promises also created distrust. Ultimately, he said these problems pushed rural voters toward BRS<a href="http://WWW.COM">.</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Protests by disabled persons in Tirupati have gained momentum following the removal of pensions by the coalition government. On Thursday, a large number of differently-abled individuals staged demonstrations in front of the Collectorate, demanding restoration of their benefits. YSRCP Tirupati in-charge Bhumana Abhinay Reddy extended his unity to the protesters. He urged the government to act swiftly and ensure justice to the disabled community. The demonstrations led to tense moments at the Collectorate premises. The issue took a political turn after Assembly Speaker recently stated that lakhs of ineligible persons in the state were drawing disability pensions. He further revealed that over one lakh disability pensions had already been cancelled, and disclosed that he had personally written to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu requesting cancellation of pensions granted to ineligible beneficiaries. According to official data, nearly 4.5 lakh pensions have been revoked in the last 14 months, including a large number of disability pensions. This development has caused widespread concern among beneficiaries, who fear that many more pensions may be withdrawn in the near future. The protesting disabled individuals are demanding immediate intervention from the government and restoration of their pensions, which they describe as their rightful entitlement.</p>
