1

Differences in Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana’s Medchal Malkajgiri district came to fore on Monday with five MLAs alleging that all nominated posts are being cornered by Labour Minister Malla Reddy.

MLAs from Malkajgiri, Uppal, Qutbullahpur, Serilingampalli, and Kuktapally held a meeting at the residence of Malkajgiri legislator Mynampally Hanumantha Rao at Dullpally.

Hanumantha Rao, B. Subhash Reddy, M. Krishna Rao, Arikepudi Gandhi, and Vivekananda and some other leaders attended the meeting.

The MLAs openly expressed their unhappiness over their supporters not getting the posts. The complained that all posts were going to Medchal constituency, represented by Minister Malla Reddy.

Finding fault with the minister’s style of functioning, they said that Malla Reddy was not carrying all party leaders in the district along while taking important decisions like appointment of the Market Committee Chairman.

Krishna Rao stated that injustice was being done to the party workers in their constituencies as all the posts were being given to only one constituency.

The MLA said though Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had asked Malla Reddy to consult all while making the appointments but he was not taking others into confidence.

The MLAs told media persons that they held the meeting to reflect the views of the party workers in their respective constituencies. They also complained that even the protocol was not being adhered to in conducting official programmes.

The MLAs announced that they will bring the issue to the notice of Chief Minister and BRS President KCR and party Working President K.T. Rama Rao.

Gandhi said party workers in his constituency were not getting nominated posts. He stated that in the past he had assured party workers that they will get the posts but all the posts were cornered by Medchal constituency.

“Party workers asking why are we not getting the posts. I have the responsibility to ensure justice to them,” he added.

Not scared, says TRS after IT raids on minister

1

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) said on Tuesday that it is not scared of raids by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Income Tax (I-T).

On a day when the sleuths of the I-T Department were conducting simultaneous raids on the houses and offices of state Labour Minister Malla Reddy and his family members, the TRS leaders held a meeting at the party headquarters Telangana Bhavan.

The state’s Minister for Animal Husbandry T. Srinivas Yadav and Home Minister Mahmood Ali held the meeting with the party MLAs, MLCs, constituency incharges of Greater Hyderabad.

After the meeting, Srinivas Yadav told reporters that the central government is misusing institutions under its control to target its political opponents.

“People are watching what is happening. Instead of politically facing its opponents, the central government is using the institutions under its control to scare them. We are not the ones to get scared,” he said while reacting to IT raids on Malla Reddy and his family members.

“If IT and ED raids happen in a normal course, we don’t find any fault but these raids are happening to target. We had anticipated these raids. The chief minister already spoke about this,” he said.

The Minister, however, warned the BJP that power is not permanent.

“Today you have power in your hands. Tomorrow it may be in our hands. TRS leadership is not scared of the raids. If we are really scared, we would not have remained in Hyderabad,” said Srinivas Yadav.

The Minister said the TRS will give a befitting reply to this in a democratic manner. “We will fight it out in people’s court,” he said.

He said the TRS general body meeting will be held on November 27 to discuss welfare and development schemes and the party programmes.

Several teams of the tax evasion wing of the I-T Department were carrying out the searches since morning.

Srinivas Yadav’s two brothers — Mahesh Yadav and Dharam Yadav — were questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) last week in connection with the Nepal casino case.

The ED is questioning politicians for alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

Srinivas Yadav’s personal assistant Harish was also quizzed by the central agency on Monday.

TRS legislator L. Ramana fainted during questioning by the ED officials on November 18.

Telangana’s Labour Minister Malla Reddy on Thursday said he has nothing to do with the MLA sticker found on the car of Madhav Reddy, a casino dealer whose residence was searched by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

A sticker issued to Malla Reddy was found on the car of Madhav Reddy on Wednesday and this became a topic of discussion in political circles.

0

Telangana’s minister for labour Malla Reddy on Friday prayed to tribal deities at Medaram Jatara to make Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao the next prime minister of the country.

The minister said he prayed to Sammakka and Sarakka to make KCR the Prime Minister. “My only prayer to the goddesses was to make our leader KCR Prime Minister of the country. He will transform the entire country in two years the way he developed Telangana,” he told reporters after making the offerings to deities at Medaram Jatara, billed as the biggest tribal fair in Asia.

“In the past, the tribal goddesses fulfilled my wishes and I hope this time too they will answer my prayers,” Malla Reddy. He was confident that KCR as the prime minister will lead the country on the path of development and prosperity.

KCR turned 68 on Thursday. As part of his birthday celebrations, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders prayed for his long life. The celebrations and prayers assumed significance in view of the TRS chief declaring a Apolitical war against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP.

KCR is aiming to play a key role in national politics by bringing together like-minded parties for a front against the BJP. Last week, he called for efforts by all parties to throw out BJP from power saying it was ruining the country.

As part of his efforts, AKCR will be visiting Mumbai on February 20 to meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Thackeray spoke to Chandrasekhar Rao over phone on Wednesday and invited him to Mumbai.

The Maharashtra chief minister extended his full support to the efforts of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief to fight anti-people policies of the BJP government at the Centre and for federal justice.

Meanwhile, three other state ministers Indrakaran Reddy, E. Dayakar Rao and T. Srinivas Yadav also offered prayers at Medaram Jatara, which reached a climax on Friday.

The ministers reviewed the arrangements for the chief minister’s visit to Medaram later in the day.

Minister Malla Reddy weakening TRS in Medchal!

0

Telangana minister Ch Malla Reddy is famous for courting controversies. He often lands in controversies with land grabbing allegations, demanding bribes from realtors etc, and causes embarrassment to TRS leadership.

Latest, Malla Reddy has landed in another controversy. His own party leaders in his own Medchal district are accusing Malla Reddy of encouraging ‘groups’ in TRS and adopting ‘divide and rule’ policy to check his political rivals in TRS in Medchal district but in the process, he is weakening TRS in the district.

6-yr-old’s rapist will be killed in encounter: Telangana minister

0

A Telangana Minister on Tuesday said the guilty person in the rape and murder of a six-year-old girl in Hyderabad “will be killed in an encounter”.

Labour Minister Malla Reddy’s sensational comment came a day after state Congress chief Revanth Reddy made a similar demand.

“We will definitely arrest him and will do the encounter,” Malla Reddy told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Hyderabad.

Asked to react on criticism by opposition leaders for not calling on the family of the victim, the minister said they would definitely meet the family members and pay them compensation.

The talk of encounter gave new twist to the case amid the ambiguity over the whereabouts of the accused.

Initially, the police sources had claimed that the accused was arrested from his native village in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district.

However, a senior official clarified that the accused is still at large.

Fifteen special police teams of the commissioner’ task force are said to be on the lookout for the fugitive.

Police have succeeded in securing a CCTV footage from Falaknuma that shows the accused wearing a cap and face mask, while moving along with another person.

The child was sexually assaulted and murdered on September 9 by the 27-year-old accused who happens to be her neighbour in Saidabad.

The body of the girl, who was missing since 5 p.m. Thursday, was found in the house of her neighbour after midnight.

Autopsy done at the government-run Osmania Hospital revealed that the child was sexually assaulted and strangulated to death.

The horrific incident had triggered angry protest from residents on Friday. They staged sit-in for seven hours on Champapet-Sagar Road, demanding immediate and harshest punishment to the guilty. Some of the protestors also demanded that the guilty be killed in an encounter.

Revanth- Malla Reddy rivalry has a long history

The war of words between TPCC chief Revanth Reddy and TRS Minister Ch Malla Reddy shows no signs of abating. The war of words has all the elements of a melodrama with the leaders hurling abuses at each other. The chest thumping, thigh slapping and the wild gesticulations between the two leaders is turning out to be an edge-of-the seat thriller.

But sources say that the rivalry between the two leaders is as old as their politics. Both were in the Telugu Desam Party together and their rivalry began from there. In 2014, both Malla Reddy and Revanth Reddy vied for the Malkajgiri MP seat. However, it took a lot of persuasion to make Revanth Reddy relent and contest from Kodangal Assembly seat. According to Malla Reddy, Revanth then threatened to target Malla Reddy’s educational institutions. In the later developments, Malla Reddy joined the TRS. In 2019, Revanth was pitted against Malla Reddy’s son-in-law Marri Rajasekhar Reddy in Malkajgiri.

According to Malla Reddy, Revanth pursued the politics of vendetta by raising several questions against Malla Reddy’s institutions in the Lok Sabha. He said since then, the targeting has been continuing. Malla Reddy too is being seen as the arch rival of Revanth Reddy. Revanth’s choice of words for Malla Reddy too shows the kind of aversion he has for the Minister. He used words like ‘Pala Malli Gadu’ (milk seller) to criticise Malla Reddy. Malla Reddy too used unprintable expletives against Revanth Reddy.

Sources say that with both the leaders in different parties, the rivalry has come out into the open these days. Revanth Reddy is trying to settle the old scores, say those in the know. They also say that the rivalry will continue in the days to come and it could even get worse.

KTR justifies Malla Reddy’s abusive language!

1

TRS working president and IT minister K.T.Rama Rao tried to justify the abusive language used by minister Ch Malla Reddy on TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy recently.

Malla Reddy conducted a press conference at Telangana Bhavan two days ago and hurdled abuses ignoring the fact that he is holding a constitutional minister post.

He even got up from his seat and slapped his thigh to abuse and challenge Revanth Reddy.

When media raised this issue with KTR when he was addressing the press conference today (Friday) from the same venue in Telangana Bhavan, KTR said, “There is Newton’s law which says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Revanth abused Malla Reddy and Malla Reddy gave back. What can I do? Why don’t you question Revanth Reddy on using abusive language against KCR, myself and TRS every day.”

KTR said their party leaders waited for seven years and showed patience despite opposition leaders abusing me, KCR and TRS every day.

Now our party leaders and cadre lost their patience and are giving back.

No one can fault TRS leaders and cadre for this because this dirty game was started by opposition parties and we are only giving them back, KTR said.

RRR taking shelter under Malla Reddy!

1

YSRCP rebel MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju is taking light of ‘disqualification petitions’ being filed by YSRCP with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking his disqualification from the Lok Sabha on charges of ‘anti party activities.

The YSRCP on Friday filed a fresh petition with Lok Sabha Speaker seeking Raju’s disqualification.

However, Raju made light of YSRCP’s complaint. Reacting on YSRCP’s petition on Saturday, Raju said that it is not that easy for YSRCP to disqualify him from Lok Sabha.

Political circles are surprised over Raju’s confidence on this issue.

Raju reportedly is taking shelter under failed disqualification attempt of Telangana minister Ch Malla Reddy.

Malla Reddy won from Malkajgiri Lok Sabha seat on TDP ticket in 2014. But he defected to TRS in 2015.

The TDP lodged several complaints with Speaker to disqualify him from Lok Sabha as per anti-defection law. But then Speaker ignored all these petitions though TDP was part on NDA government then and Speaker was from BJP.

Malla Reddy had officially joined TRS by meeting Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao at his camp office. Despite this, the Speaker did not disqualify him.

In the case of Raju, he did not defect to any party. He is still continuing in YSRCP. He is only raising his voice against YSRCP leadership and AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy.

Raju is confident that Speaker cannot disqualify him from Lok Sabha just for criticising Jagan and if he does, he can question why Malla Reddy was spared when he joined another party and plans to fight a legal battle against his disqualification.

Malla Reddy continued as TDP MP even after joining TRS till December 2018.

Malla Reddy resigned to Lok Sabha on his own in December 2018 after he got elected as TRS MLA from Malkajgiri in December 2018 Assembly polls.

Raju is now reportedly taking shelter under the failed attempt of Malla Reddy’s disqualification.

He said some aspirants have also spoken to media accusing the minister of demanding huge amounts. He said when ACB could arrests employees for demanding money, why was it silent when a similar crime was allegedly being committed by a minister?

Sravan demanded a high level enquiry into the allegations and stern action against the minister. He said that the Congress party would lodge a formal complaint with the police and the Election Commission in this regard. He reminded that Chief Minister K.Chandrashehar Rao had announced in the past that he would not spare anyone who indulges in corruption. He asked whether KCR maintains the same stand on corruption and if yes, then why he is silent on allegations against Malla Reddy.

The Congress leader also demanded that Election Commission take against Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao who intimidated the voters by saying that he would come to know whom they have voted for in the municipal elections.
