YSR Congress Founder Jagan or Basha

With the question arising, who is YSR Congress founder - Jagan or Basha?, the Kadapa byelections have become more curious. One of the contestants for Kadapa Lok Sabha seat Akbar Mahaboob Basha lodged a complaint with chief electoral officer Bhanwar Lal claiming that he was the real founder of the YSR Congress party. Basha in his complaint said that Jaganmohan Reddy was 'illegally' using his party's name.

Basha, a resident of Kadapa town filed his nomination papers from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency on the first day of notification (April 11). Basha contends, "I am the founder of the YSR Congress party and I am contesting on behalf of my party."  He said he had applied to the Election Commission for registration of YSR Congress in 2009 and the case was pending in court. The CEO said that he would forward the petition given by Basha to the Election Commission. Replying to a question, Bhanwar Lal said the issue of party would be sorted out during the scrutiny of the nominations.
 

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.
