Toughest Mahanadu For Chandrababu Naidu

The 30th TDP Mahanadu, that's being held on 27, 28 & 29 of this month at Hyderabad,  will prove to be the toughest test for Telugu Desam Party and its president N Chandrababu Naidu. Though this Mahanadu is being held under the shadow of many other problems, two of them can really prove to be a litmus test for  N Chandrababu Naidu.

To begin with, the TDP is facing a critical position in T region for the 'two-eye' policy adopted by Naidu in regard of Telangana issue. The recent suspension of senior party leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy is expected to have an impact on this Mahanadu. While two of Nagam's close adssociates Harishwar Reddy and Jogi Ramanna are expected to skip the meeting, the possibility of Nagam's followers raising T slogans and trying to create obstruction during the Mahanadu is not ruled out.

The second issue that is going to come to fore in this Mahanadu is its president Nara Chandrababu Naidu trying to promote his son Nara Lokesh as heir apparent in the party. It is to be seen, whether Mr. Nandamuri Harikrishna, who is said to be unhappy over Naidu promoting his son Lokesh as his successor, will attend the meeting or not. There has been lot of activity going on within the party recently to bring Lokesh in to active politics. Jr. NTR, who used to be an attraction during previous Mahanadus, is away on his honeymoon trip.

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.
