Veteran CPI(M) leader G Sudhakaran opts not to renew party membership| India News

Alappuzha , Veteran CPI leader and former PWD minister G Sudhakaran on Wednesday said he has decided not to renew his party membership and so didn’t apply for the same during the 2026 scrutiny process. Veteran CPI(M) leader G Sudhakaran opts not to renew party membership In a detailed Facebook post, Sudhakaran openly expressed displeasure over the alleged continuing neglect shown towards him by the Marxist party’s state and district leaderships and said he does not wish to cause inconvenience to the leaders by continuing in the party.

Afghanistan is looking to renew and normalise ties with India and is open to investments for the country’s development, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said on Friday in the wake of the first contact between external affairs minister S Jaishankar and Taliban acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.

ReNew Power to set up renewable energy complex in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur district

ReNew Power is setting up a single-site RE complex at Bethapalle village. (File photo used for representational purpose only) | Photo Credit: Reuters ReNew Power, a Renewable Energy (RE) company, is investing about ₹22,000 crore in what it claims to be the country’s largest single-site RE complex coming up at Bethapalle village in Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh.  The ground-breaking ceremony for the project is scheduled on May 16. IT & HRD Minister Nara Lokesh will be participating in it, thereby giving a big boost to the State’s RE landscape. ReNew was the largest RE investor in Andhra Pradesh six years ago, that is, in 2019 with an installed capacity of 777 MW but it had suspended its expansion plans owing to the cancellation of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) by the YSR Congress Party government. The company’s re-entry into Andhra Pradesh now reflects the investor confidence in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, and the above project is the first major one being grounded after the State’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy (ICEP) came into force in …

Chandrababu Naidu to renew the Foreign Contribution (Registration) Act (FCRA) of Rural Development Trust (RDT), which has been extending its services in various sectors since the last 55 years in the drought-hit Rayalaseema region, particularly in Anantapur. Speaking to the media in Anantapur on Sunday, the senior leader said that the services of RTD are not just limited to Anantapur, but extend across the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. “RDT is not affiliated to any religion or a region. It has been working for the upliftment of the poor and its existence is at stake as the Centre has kept the FCRA of the trust pending,” Mr. Venkatarami Reddy said. The RDT was set up by Spanish humanist Vincente Ferrer in 1969. After the death of Vincente Ferrer in 2009, it has been managed by his wife Anne Ferrer and son Moncho Ferrer.

For the first time since July 2023, PV Sindhu and Akane Yamaguchi – two familiar foes who are part of the golden generation of women’s singles that is trying to keep the fight going – will face off each other on Thursday at the Badminton Asia Championships. It will be the 26th meeting of their decorated careers, but one that comes at a time when Sindhu is still trying to find her rhythm back on the tour. Even world No 4 Yamaguchi, once one of the ever-present players on the tour, hasn’t been too active this year, beginning her season only at the All England last month. This is a match-up that Sindhu has enjoyed in the past, winning 14 of their 25 matches, and in the second round in Ningbo, the Indian will look to make a statement that she is still capable of pushing the top 5 on her day. In the first-round on Wednesday, Sindhu ensured she didn’t get stretched too much by Indonesia’s Ester Wardoyo as she won 21-15, 21-19. One …
