CM cheated Mahabubnagar: Revanth Reddy
Former municipal chairperson of Mahabubnagar Radha Amar, former Market Committee chairman Amarender Raju and Councillor Rama Devi were among several leaders from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) who joined the Congress in the presence of TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy and former MLA A. Sampath Kumar on Sunday.
Welcoming them into the party, Mr. Reddy said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had cheated Mahabubnagar by not fulfilling any of the promises made to the district that sent him to Parliament. While the CM earned farm houses, newspapers, media houses and hundreds of crores, people of Mahabubnagar district have nothing, he charged.
He also alleged that Minister for Excise Srinivas Goud was grabbing all the available land, including Wakf land. “Every Minister and MLA are involved in all ‘land, sand, mine and wine’ businesses looting the State,” he charged and asked people to ensure the win of all Congress candidates in erstwhile Mahabubnagar district.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
