Govt. Wine shops soon

State government, which is submerged under severe financial crisis due to its inefficiency, is virtually depends on the revenue generated from excise department. As said by Chandrababu Naidu, though the government fails to ensure proper water supplies to people and farmers, it ensures at least one liquor shop or a belt shop run in remotest villages of the state. But, still it believes is not sufficient to run the government. Hence, it plans to enter liquor business opening government outlets all over the state. It even gave a paper Ad during June last year, but there was no response. Hence, it has opened 18 outlets at its beverage depos six months ago. Recently, the government asks excise department to make necessary arrangements to open 149 wine shops out of 596 that it planned to open across the state in three phases. Excise department has estimated that each wine shop needs one supervisor, one assistant supervisor, and two counter boys. Hence it is going to recruit outsourcing persons very soon.

Their income levels have grown up and hence opposition parties need not to make hue and cry over this issue. More over, we are not putting any extra burden on the people. When compared to other states in the country, it is very minimal. We have not made any promises in our 2009 election manifesto about continuing the existing power tariff forever. Yes, we have promised it in year 2004 manifesto and we kept our promise, but surely not in the 2009 manifesto. People should be aware that the opposition parties are misguiding them quoting our previous election manifesto.”

TRS blames YSRC for the unrest

The sudden developments in the state capital over the arrest of MIM leader Akbaruddin and its consequent developments worries Telangana protagonists, who blame MIM and the other parties in the state, have conspired to stop the Telangana process. All the other issues including Telangana issue were faded into shades, with the sudden development in the state capital. Though, none from the Congress party high command makes any statements on Telangana or Akbaruddin’s issues, their abnormal silence worries TRS and T-JAC leaders. Hence, they aim their guns on MIM and warn not to play cheap tricks to obstruct Telangana process. It is surprising to see TRS alleges Jagan’s hand in the whole developments and for the unrest created in the region. It alleges that, though Jagan Mohan Reddy is in jail, he is managing all these things to create obstacles in Telangana process. Perhaps, it believes like so because the silence maintained by YSR Congress party on Akbaruddin’s issue. TRS defines it as secret pact between MIM and YSR Congress party. Despite facing severe criticism from all parties, YSR Congress party still doesn’t come forward to condemn Akbaruddin’s hate speech, even while the Christian Associations in Telangana region openly condemns his hate speech. Jagan Mohan Reddy appears to believe that their alliance is going to shower votes in the next general elections and that is why his party keep mum over this issue.

MIM discloses it political intentions

At last after creating a high tense drama at Gandhi Hospital, police have arrested MIM leader Akbaruddin, who was give 14 days judicial remand. He was shifted to Adilabad jail. MIM has given a bandh call for Adilabad and Nizamabad districts protesting his arrest. Akbaruddin’s lawyers have asked the court to shift him to Chanchalguda jail, since he is ill and need treatment. However, MIM plans to gain some political mileage out of his arrest. It is planning to utilize the sympathy factor to promote itself to state level politics. MIM president Asadudeen Owaisi speaking to media said that his party is going to conduct number of public meetings in the next few weeks to make the minorities and SC, ST and BC people realize that it is the time to unite on one platform and claim their due share in the power. He blames the upper class communities for betraying the lower cast communities and the minorities in the state. He warned the Congress party that it can not expect the same results of the last time in the upcoming elections. Therefore, MIM has made it clear that it has strategically broken its ties with Congress party and whatever it is doing now including the hue and cry of its MLA’s arrest, is also a part of its election strategy only.
