Nagam Nagara Makes Naidu Revive T-forum

Telugu Desam supremo Chandrababu Naidu is said to be comtemplating to revive TDP T-forum in the wake of 'T-Nagara' conducted by its head Dr. Nagam Janardhan Reddy at Nagarkurnool on 9 May. The Nagam salvo might have hit the party leadership. Whether the T-forum is to be re-constituted or replaced with a new committee, will be decided in the politburo meeting today.

It is said, the party is envisaging to form a committee comprising TD MLAs from Telangana region to lead the Telangana agitation on behalf of the party. Party MLA and politburo member E Dayakar Rao said "The party is contemplating to set up a committee. It will be constituted soon. We will also invite Dr Nagam Janardhan Reddy." Mr Naidu marginalised the Telangana TD Forum headed by Dr Nagam as the latter’s clout grew steadily. The TD chief used his confidants, Mr M. Narasimhulu, Mr Revanth Reddy and others to attack Dr Nagam and accused him of taking unilateral decisions. Cornered by his own party men, Dr Nagam quit as forum convenor and tried to get a second term as PAC chairman, but Mr Naidu showed no interest in him.

There was also a demand from a section of T-leaders to take action against Dr Nagam for holding "Telangana Nagara" in Nagarkurnool, but Mr Naidu fears this might lead to a backlash from people and he and his party might be labelled as anti-Telangana.

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.
