KCR Forgives 3 Suspended MLAs

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi leadership has decided to revoke suspension of three MLAs who allegedly indulged in cross-voting in the MLC elections held in March. Anticipating revocation of their suspension, MLAs E Ravinder Reddy (Yallareddy), Kaveti Sammaiah (Sirpur) and K Vidyasagar Rao (Korutla) are actively taking part in the TRS programmes and the ongoing Sakala Janula Samme.

The three TRS MLAs seem to have benefited from the ongoing Samme though it affected all sections of society in Telangana, as it has given them a political rebirth. At the time of suspension, TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao declared that the party would take stringent action against trio as they betrayed the cause of Telangana. Rao on several occasions said the ruling Congress and the opposition Telugu Desam failed to take action against some of their MLAs who also indulged in cross-voting.

After the commencement of Sakala Janula Samme of Telangana Political JAC on September 13, the suspended TRS MLAs started actively taking part in several protests organised in their respective Assembly constituencies as part of the stir. They also took part in the Banswada byelection campaign. Ravinder Reddy also attended the swearing-in ceremony of Banswada legislator Pocharam Srinivas Reddy. All these developments have indicated that the TRS is set to lift the suspension on the three MLAs.
 

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.
