Telangana DGP Suspended for Meeting with TPCC President

HYDERABAD, India – Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar was suspended today by the Election Commission of India (ECI) for violating the model code of conduct.

Kumar met with Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A Revanth Reddy at his residence yesterday, while the counting of votes for the Telangana Legislative Assembly election was still underway. The visit raised eyebrows as the Congress had already established a clear lead in the election.

The ECI considered Kumar’s meeting with Reddy to be a violation of the model code of conduct, which prohibits government officials from engaging in activities that could be seen as favoring a particular political party.

In addition to suspending Kumar, the ECI has also issued show-cause notices to Additional DG Law and Order, Sanjay Jain, and ADG CID, Mahesh Bhagwat, who accompanied Kumar to Reddy’s residence.

The ECI’s decision is a significant development in the Telangana election, as it raises questions about the impartiality of the state police force. The Congress party has welcomed the ECI’s decision, while the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party has condemned it.

Hyderabad: The New IT Capital of India?

Hyderabad Poses Challenge to Bengaluru’s IT Hub Status: Former Infosys CEO

In a surprising turn of events, former Infosys CEO and Chairman of Manipal Global Education, TV Mohandas Pai, suggested on Wednesday that Hyderabad could potentially replace Bengaluru as the “Information Technology capital of India.” Pai, in his statement, criticized the successive governments of Karnataka for their ‘neglect’ and warned the Karnataka government about the impending shift.

Expressing his concerns on a social media platform, Pai hoped for a more proactive approach from the Karnataka government, particularly under the leadership of Siddaramaiah from the Congress party.

Responding to Pai’s post, many users echoed his sentiments, agreeing that it might indeed dethrone Bengaluru as the country’s IT capital. Several comments commended Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao for his role in elevating Hyderabad’s status as a burgeoning IT powerhouse.

One user, with the handle @vigytweets, remarked, “If BRS Wins definitely… if Congress wins in Telangana, Hyderabad will be gone to dogs in real estate and IT growth. The current Hyderabad growth and planning is because of KTR. BJP is nowhere in race in Telangana so no use of talking about them.

Another user, @RaviGAk, expressed the likelihood of this shift, stating, “In all probabilities, it is going to happen. Unless the government thinks innovatively and acts at lightning speed.”

 

Expressing a desire for similar IT growth in every state, user @ShivaRa51310785 commented, “I wish there is one such Hyderabad in every state. This is something to be celebrated and proud.”


Meanwhile, a user identified as @thereal_ravan criticized the successive Karnataka governments as corrupt, saying, “Being a proud Bengalurean!! I admit Our corrupt Govts have messed up this amazing city!! HYD will grow & is growing rapidly, no doubt! One day HYD will dethrone BLR for sure, its a harsh FACT! My hope is, BLR shud be a union territory & b saved from these corrupt politicians!”

Summing up the sentiment, @Sumita61 noted, “Bangalore has already been dethroned by Hyderabad in the hardware space.”

CSDP Survey Predicts BRS Victory in Telangana Elections

CSDP Survey Predicts BRS Victory in Telangana Elections

CSDP Survey, Telangana, India – A recent survey conducted by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDP) has predicted a landslide victory for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the upcoming Telangana Legislative Assembly elections. The survey, which was conducted among a sample of 2,000 voters across all 119 Assembly constituencies in the state, found that the BRS is likely to win 83 seats, while the Indian National Congress (INC) is expected to win 27 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is projected to win just 2 seats, while the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) is expected to win 7 seats.

The survey found that the BRS is popular among all sections of society, including men, women, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The party is also popular in all age groups, with strong support among young voters.

The BRS’s popularity is likely due to a number of factors, including the party’s strong record of governance, its focus on welfare schemes, and its charismatic leader, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. The INC, on the other hand, has been struggling to regain its lost ground in the state. The BJP has made some inroads in Telangana, but it is still a relatively minor player in the state’s political landscape. The MIM is expected to retain its stronghold in Hyderabad, the state capital.

The CSDP survey is the latest in a series of polls that have predicted a BRS victory in the Telangana elections. The party is widely expected to win a comfortable majority in the Assembly, and it is possible that it could even win an outright majority.

The Telangana Legislative Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in December 2023. The BRS is the clear favorite to win the elections, and the CSDP survey suggests that the party is likely to win a landslide victory.
