Vote Unites Jagan, Viveka

Can't say, how it originated but a new slogan "oka votu babaiki, oka votu abbaiki" (one vote for Mr Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy and one for Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy) is catching up with the electorate of Pulivendula assembly constituency in Kadapa district. Voters here falling under the Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency will cast two votes, one for the Pulivendula Assembly seat and one for the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat in the byelections to be held on May 8.

Mr Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy and his nephew Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy are worried about the new slogan and have no clue where it originated from. Sources said that those loyal to the late Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy who do not want to see the family divided politically, invented the slogan to do equal justice to both, the Congress and the new YSR Congress. It means they want to send Mr Vivekananda Reddy to the Assembly and Mr Jagan Mohan to the Lok Sabha.

The state ministers who have been deployed in Kadapa for the byelection campaign are happy with this development. They have been telling the chief minister that the chances of the party winning in Pulivendula are increasing and it is almost certain that Mr Vivekananda Reddy will be the new MLA. However, things don't look so rosy in Kadapa, where the Congress has a tough fight on its hands.

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.
