Hyderabad: Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar said that the Union Cabinet has approved 31 FM radio stations for Telangana and they will start their operations from 10 towns, which have not been covered so far. The new FM stations will help promote the local content, preserve the local languages and create new job opportunities.
Among them, Nizamabad had got four new FM stations and three each were allocated for Adilabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, Kothagudem, Mahbubnagar, Mancherial, Nalgonda, Ramagundam and Suryapet districts.
In a post on his X handle, the minister said a total of 730 new FM radio stations have been approved all over the country, and they would start operating from 234 cities and towns. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approving the new FM stations.
Speaking in Karimnagar, Sanjay attacked the Congress government for not demolishing BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao’s farmhouse in Janwada,
“Why did it shy away when Akbaruddin Owaisi threatened serious consequences if it touches the buildings of the party’s educational institutions that have encroached on Salkam Cheruvu”, he asked. “Is this place in Pakistan or in Bangladesh, why is the government afraid of MIM,” he asked.
“The government is right when it comes to removing encroachments on lakes and tanks in the FTL and buffer zones,” he said. “Why demolish only one or two big constructions of influential people and then attack houses of the poor?”
Regarding sops in electricity bills to Sircilla weavers, not only the BRS but the Congress government has betrayed weavers, he said, adding it is a shame on the state government to say that it will conduct a survey pertaining to the crop loan waiver scheme.
Was the government diverting all the money to the Maharshi Valmiki Development Corporation in Karnataka, referring to a scam there which resulted in the resignation of a minister. The Congress was following in the footsteps of the BRS, he pointed out.
Both Congress and BRS leaders came to an understanding to merge their parties, that is why some of the Congress leaders went to Singapore and then to America where they held discussions of merger of the party, he added.
