Why Mysoora is Reluctant to Fight Jagan in Kadapa?

Rajya Sabha member from Telugu Desam Party Dr. M V Mysoora Reddy is reluctant to fight Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in the ensuing Kadapa Lok Sabha bypoll. He said that he is not keen to contest in the by-polls for the Kadapa Lok Sabha segment from where the former MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, is testing his fortunes. He told this to media persons after an all party meet with the chief election officer.

Leaders of both the parties Congress and Telugu Desam, Kiran Kumar Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu openly told the CEO that no one could withstand the money power of the MLC candidates backed by Mr Jagan in the recent elections to the Legislative Council. The CEO assured the leaders that EC would take all necessary steps to ensure free and fair bypolls in the State.

Apart from money power and popularity of Jagan Mohan Reddy, it would still be very difficult for Mysoora Reddy to make up his mind in contesting from Kadapa. In the faction ridden politics of Rayalaseema, particularly in Kadapa district, leaders cannot take decisions on major moves without consulting their followers. Violent history prevents them from doing so and Dr. Mysoora Reddy is no exception to it.

Meanwhile, Jagan Mohan Reddy left for Kadapa district on Friday evening for a 40 day stay for the duration of bypolls. Before leaving for Kadapa, Mr Jagan held a confidential meeting with some of his supporters to finalise a symbol out of the 53 free symbols updated by the EC recently. Mr Jagan is the national president of "Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress party," popularly known as YSR party. As per the SC directions, the EC has allotted 'Ceiling Fan' symbol to YSR Congress in the Kadapa bypolls. It's likely that the former MP, Y SJagan Mohan Reddy, and his mother smt. Y S Vijayalakshmi, will contest on the 'Ceiling Fan' symbol in the coming Kadapa Lok Sabha and Pulivendula Assembly bypolls.

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.
