Blast at Lagadapati Rajagopal Resort in Hyderabad

Powerful bomb blast took place at Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal's resort on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Though the blast took place on Friday, for reasons better known to them, police had kept it under wraps for three days and disclosed only on Tuesday. Walls and windows of the resort were damaged in the gelatin stick blast and no one was injured, say the reports.

There was no one in the resort except the watchman, when the bomb exploded. The watchman said he was fast asleep and woke up to a deafening blast. Pro-Telangana pamphlets left behind by the attackers were found strewn at the location. Though it looks like pro-Telangana activists are involved in the blast, Lagadapati says that it could be the handiwork of supporters of YSR Congress Party leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. While Rajagopal is a known supporter of united andhra, lately he started criticising Jagan Mohan Reddy heavily. Police is yet to find out who the real culprits are. On the other hand, YSRCP leaders alleged that Rajagopal himself was behind the blast to eliminate his first wife Padma and demanded a thorough probe into the incident.

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.
