Payakaraopeta YSRC MLA Ticket on Sale?

News is doing rounds that the disqualified Payakaraopeta Congress MLA (Jagan group) Golla Baburao has put his party ticket on sale. Baburao is supposed to be the YSR Congress Party candidate from Payakaraopeta in the ensuing by-elections. His opponents say that he is selling the party ticket to another person for Rs. 10 crores.

It is to be recalled that Golla Baburao is one of the 16 MLAs recently disqualified by the Speaker Nadendla Manohar for defying the party whip during TDP's no-confidence motion against the government. Invariably, Baburao will be YSRC's official candidate for the by-election from Payakaraopeta. But for reasons better known to him, Baburao has requested his party to give ticket to a person of his choice. Now, his opponents are publicising that Baburao has put his candidature on sale for 10 crores.

A bewildered Baburao denied any such thing and announced that he would himself contest in the upcoming by-elections. He clarified that he is not a person to run after money, as is being publicised by his detractors. He said even though three state ministers have tried to lure him with money to vote in favour of the government during no-confidence motion, he was unperturbed and kept his loyalty towards YSRC intact.

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.
