5 TRS MLAs Avoid Meeting Speaker Over Resignations

The AP Assembly Speaker Mr. Nadendla Manohar is keen to take decision on the pending resignations of MLAs before the assembly session starts on 22 November. For that he is holding separate meetings individually with the MLAs who submitted the resignations.

In this connection, T region congress MLAs who have quit from the assembly Mr Jupally Krishna Rao, Jogu Ramanna, Rajaiah, Somarapu Satyanarayana and Hariswara reddy were asked to meet the Speaker and explain on their resignations. The office of the Speaker called them two days ago. But these MLAs informed the Speaker's office that they are busy with their Padayatra in Telangana and would be able to meet him after Nov 22. The Speaker has reportedly become angry over their response and is planning to take a decision on their resignations without seeking any further explanation from them.

Meanwhile, four MLAs owing allegiance to the YSR Congress party president Mr YS Jaganmohan Reddy today met the Speaker and explained on their resignations. The MLAs Adinarayana reddy, G. Babu Rao, T. Balaraju and P. Ravi met the speaker and requested him to take a decision on their resignations. What transpired in the meeting is not known, but Babu Rao told reporters later that they would abide by the decision of the Speaker on their resignations, whatever the outcome may be. "News reports that we are going back to the Congress fold is false and we will remain with Jagan only," he said.

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.
