YS Jagan releases People’s Ballot
Hyderabad: Taking the bull by is horns, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has released a Peoples’ Ballot citing 100 assurances that Chandrababu Naidu has given during the elections and asked the people to ranks his performance on the count of the fulfilled promises.
“This Ballot reflects the mood of the State and what the people are thinking about the TDP rule in wake of the unfulfilled promises and it will reach everyone and will appear in media for the convenience of the people to vent their feelings on governance of Chandrababu Naidu by marking one of the two options Yes or No to assurances he had given during election,” Jagan Mohan Reddy said while releasing the ballot.
The 100 assurances that went awry have been read out from the venue to which there was overwhelming response on the negative side to Chandrababu Naidu’s performance. “It is of everybody’s knowledge that not a single promise was fulfilled and who was responsible for the plight of the people as farmers, women, students, youth and all sections were deceived by Chandrababu Naidu by going back on his poll promises and they have been bearing the brunt of disrupted domestic economy.
The Special Status to the State which would benefit the multitude of people has been assured by the Centre while splitting the State and Chandrababu Naidu has no voice to raise and seek the just demand from the NDA coalition of which TDP is a partner and his two MPs continue to be in the Union Cabinet.
"{How can such gross injustice be tolerated. Here is the ballot in the hands of people who will judge the performance of the governance of the Chandrababu Naidu in fulfilling the poll promises and they will grade him marks proportionately and the final result will be in the open to know how many marks Chandrababu scored out of 100,” he said.
Asserting that his party is not against the building of capital in any region, but are only opposing the acquisition of multi-crop land, Jagan Mohan Reddy said, this ballot will show what the common man is thinking of the Chandrababu Naidu.
Party leaders and locals, including DWACRA women and farmers took the centre stage and slammed Chandrababu Naidu for his failure to keep up promises and for trying to acquire fertile land by using force for the sake of capital.
“Chandrababu Naidu has not waived the loans and has been putting pressure on us to give up our fertile land for the capital formation. We will not give up our land and are in no position to believe Chandrababu Naidu,” they said.
Many leaders lamented that the State machinery has failed to provide security at the venue where the Leader of Opposition, who holds the rank of a cabinet minister, is undertaking a two-day fast.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
