Jagan Group MLAs to Support No-Trust Motion

Despite some MLAs, including trusted leaders of the YSR Congress Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy would support the no-confidence motion against the Congress government in Andhra Pradesh if it moved "with sincerity" by the main opposition Telugu Desam, the YSR Congress said here tonight. of the 28 MLAs who had resigned in August to protest the reported inclusion of late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's name in the FIR in a case involving Jagan, 22 attended the marathon meeting today, said Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy, a Congress Lok Sabha member who is with YSR Congress. Jagan himself was not present as he was on his odarupu yatra in Guntur district.

The meeting assumed significance, after the Telugu Desam said it would move a no-confidence motion against the Congress government in the winter session of the Assembly. Rajamohan Reddy said six MLAs could not attend the meeting, due to various reasons. Most of the MLAs originally belonged to the Congress. However, two Congress MLAs, Jayasudha and N Sesha Reddy, who were with Jagan, have since decided to stay with the parent party, the Congress. Asked to elaborate on the remark that the TDP should be 'sincere', Reddy said the main opposition party should ensure that all its MLAs attend the session and voted in favour of the no-confidence motion.
   
When asked if Jagan-loyalist MLAs may not be sincere in their opposition to the government as many of them have been participating in official programmes, he said he could not talk about the qualities of individuals.Significantly, Reddy added that "the MLAs have left it to the Speaker to take a decision" on the resignations submitted by them earlier. When told that several Jagan-loyalist Congress MLAs had indicated the intention to continue in Congress till the 2014 assembly elections, he said they had no option, if the resignations were not accepted by the Speaker.
  
Saying that YSR Congress did not have the strength to topple the government, he said the onus to do so was on TDP. The Speaker had recently accepted the resignations of Nagam Janardhan Reddy, a rebel TDP MLA who resigned in support of a separate Telangana state, and N Prasanna Kumar Reddy, also a TDP rebel, who switched loyalties to Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.The resignations of about 80 others, who quit in support of a separate Telangana state and to join Jagan Reddy, are pending with the Speaker.

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
