Jagan Loyalist MLAs to Meet Speaker, Governor

29 Andhra Pradesh MLAs who submitted their resignations in support of YSR Congress president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy would meet the assembly speaker and the governor today. The legislators will urge the Governor and the Speaker to accept their resignations.

29 MLAs, including two from Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and one from erstwhile Praja Rajyam, had resigned from their posts in protest against the alleged inclusion of Rajasekhara Reddy's name in the CBI's FIR. "The MLAs would meet Speaker and also Governor. We will tell the Governor about the attempts to defame late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in the FIR (of CBI over its probe into cases related to Jagan). Though the Governor is not concerned with resignations, we would like to tell him about it," rebel Congress MLA P Subhash Chandra Bose, who too has submitted his resignation, told the media.

Asserting that there is no threat to its government with the resignation of MLAs, the ruling Congress had said there was no need to persuade them to take back their resignations. Alleging that the action of MLAs in support of Jagan amounted to supporting corruption, state Congress president Botsa Satyanarayana had asked the legislators to get their resignations accepted.
 

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.
