CM Accepts Viveka Resignation

Finally chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy gave in to the pressure from YS Vivekananda Reddy and accepted his resignation. Vivekananda Reddy's resignation would be forwarded to the Governor. The Chief Minister was reluctant to accept Viveka's resignation as it could lead to pressure on the medical and health minister, Dr D.L. Ravindra Reddy, to also resign from his post, since he is the candidate from Kadapa Lok Sabha bypoll against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Mr Vivekananda Reddy told the CM that Dr Ravindra Reddy had already been elected from Mydukur constituency, so such a situation would not arise.

Before leaving for Pulivendula, Vivekananda Reddy told that after much persuasion the CM has agreed to forward his resignation to the Governor. Mr Vivekananda Reddy was upset with the propaganda by his opponents and also with some suggestions by Congress leaders about accommodating him as MLC through governor's nomination. To quell these misgivings, Vivekananda Reddy insisted upon CM to accept the resignation. He explained "I have told the people of Pulivendula while campaigning during the last few days that I should get posts with their blessings only. I am not a member of either houses of Legislature. My continuance in the ministry may be legally valid but morally it is not correct. That was the reason I submitted my resignation."

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.
