Suspense Continues Over Rajampet TDP Candidate

Suspense is still continuing over nomination of TDP official candidate for Rajampet constituency in Kadapa district. It is well known that by-elections are to be held in 17 seemandhra constituencies shortly. Though Telugu Desam Party, unlike in the past has announced its other nominees well in advance, it could not declare the Rajampet candidate.  

The TDP sources in Rajampet say that one Mr. Bramhaiah is trying to get the party ticket, but he has not yet taken TDP membership. Whereas, the local leadership is of the view that, if former MLA Kasireddy Madan Mohan Reddy is given the ticket, he would definitely poll over 75000 votes. In that event, TDP win is certain with 15000 majority. But the sources inform that Kasireddy Madan Mohan Reddy is, for reasons not known, is reluctant to contest. He has not yet given his consent to the party. Even as his followers are putting pressure on him, he is not agreeing to contest. Generally bypolls are considered a boon for the 'politically unemployed' in any party. It is very odd that Madan Mohan Reddy is not grabbing the opportunity, when TDP is so keen to rope him in. Perhaps, he is too doubtful about his winning, say the sources.

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.
