Noose Tightening Around Jagan Investors

Apart from CBI, the state government is also tightening the screws on the investors in Jagan's enterprise which sprang up during his dad's tenure as CM. In line with this, the state government has issued notices to Investors in Jagan's companies. Hetero drugs which has invested in Jagati publications, is also under Govt. scanner on allegations that company has not fulfilled its promise of giving employment to local people.

APIIC had taken over 1,000 acres of land in 10-15 villages for setting up an SEZ in Polepally in Jedcherla mandal in 2007 for pharmaceutical park. During procurement of land, as part of rehabilitation the land losers in the SEZ area were promised jobs. Now, the displaced people of Mudireddypally, Gollapalli, Polepally, Chenelli and nearby villages are demanding jobs, but to no avail. Last week a woman named Sungunti Anjamma who failed to get any job in the SEZ, committed suicide. Government has sought details about the employment provided by the companies and benefits received from the government. Hetero has invested in companies managed by Jagan and his wife Bharathi. Recently, CBI also seized some files related to Polepally SEZ and correspondence of Hetero drugs on that allotment.

Another Major jolt for Jagan is expected from the state government’s examination of sale of shares as lead promoter in Raghuram Cements (now Bharati Cements) to a foreign company after obtaining huge tracts of Lime stone mines in Kadapa district during his fathers regime. YS Jaganmohan Reddy sold a 51 per cent stake in Bharathi Cements to French firm Vicat SA for a huge undisclosed sum. In less than four years, Jagan constructed the cement factory and sold his majority share for a huge sum as the company owns 2307 acres of lime stone mines. State Govt. officials are also exploring the options available under the law to cancel the lease holding of mines to a Cement factory with more than 51% holding by a foreign entity.

Govt. officials are examining steps that the state government can take to resume the lands given to these companies. All possible ways are being explored to book these companies if they are found to be indulging in any irregularities, according to a top official in the government.
 

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.
