Bandi takes dig at BC declaration, calls it ‘Muslim Declaration'
Hyderabad: Union minister of state (home) and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay on Sunday dubbed Congress' BC declaration at Kamareddy during the 2023 election campaign as a 'Muslim Declaration', stating that it prioritises the interests of the community over those of the Backward Classes (BC). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to the media after inaugurating a hospital in Karimnagar, the minister stated, "Congress is giving a false impression to BCs. They are only offering an additional 5% reservations. BCs already have 27% reservations, and if the 10% reservations for Muslims are removed, then BCs would only receive 5% extra as part of the 42% reservations." He emphasized that what was being presented was not BC reservation, but rather reservation allocated to Muslims. Bandi Sanjay vowed to block the BC reservation bill, accusing Rahul Gandhi of mocking Hindus and asserting that he was threatening Hinduism. "We don't have a problem with the BC reservation bill if they exclue Muslims in it, otherwise we will stop this. If we don't stop this here, it will become a template across India," he stated. He also mentioned that Hindu organisations across Telangana were expressing anguish over demolition of the Banjara Hills Peddamma Temple. He questioned whether the govt was trying to appease a community that constitutes 30% in Jubilee Hills for the sake of by-election votes. Bandi Sanjay pointed out that many temples, mosques, and churches were located on roads in Hyderabad and Telangana, questioning the necessity of demolishing the Banjara Hills temple. He demanded the immediate suspension of the officials responsible for the demolition of the temple.

Minister slams Rahul-Ambedkar comparison
Patna: BJP functionary and minister Janak Ram on Sunday lashed out at Congress's Udit Raj for likening Rahul Gandhi to Dr B R Ambedkar, describing the comparison as "an insult" and demanding an apology. "Rahul has been a failed leader in the true sense," Janak Ram said. "In Indian politics, he is remembered as a failed leader. Congress never respected Babasaheb and comparing him with anyone is an insult to Ambedkar." The controversy erupted after Udit Raj posted on X on Saturday, "OBCs will have to think that history does not give opportunities for progress again and again. They should follow and support what Rahul Gandhi said at the Talkatora Stadium conference. If they do so, then Rahul Gandhi will prove to be the second Ambedkar for them." Responding strongly, Janak Ram accused the Congress of exploiting marginalised communities. "Despite being in power for over six decades, Congress treated the Dalit and OBC communities merely as a vote bank. It never worked honestly for their welfare," he said. "In fact, Congress betrayed these communities, and the public will never forgive them. This is the same Congress which delayed conferring the Bharat Ratna on Ambedkar but wasted no time in securing the country's highest civilian award for its own family," the BJP minister added.

‘Insensitivity towards poor': Rahul targets BJP over demolitions in city
New Delhi: Congress functionary Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that hundreds of slum dwellers in Delhi were going through the pain of being rendered homeless with their houses being destroyed by BJP govt, claiming that this "atrocity" exposed the party's "insensitivity" towards the poor and its "arrogance of power". The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha shared a video of his recent visit to Ashok Vihar, where many houses were demolished. "Imagine, how you would feel if the roof over the head of your parents, children or siblings is suddenly taken away — if your entire family is rendered homeless in a single moment? Hundreds of poor families living in the jhuggis are going through this pain today," Gandhi said in his post in Hindi, along with the video, on X. The small houses in which they had settled their entire life were "ruthlessly destroyed" by BJP govt, he alleged. These were not just houses — these were their dreams, their dignity and their means of living, he added.
