Mulayam Lands In Another Controversy

Mulayam Lands In Another Controversy

There is no stopping to rapes in Uttar Pradesh and also to the insensitive comments by the ruling party leaders. Samajwadi Party honcho Mulayam Singh Yadav once again made strange statements backing the government in handling rape incidents. When asked by media persons regarding a rape and murder of a 32 year old woman, Mulayam replied, “there are 21 crores people in Uttar Pradesh and yet lowest number of rapes are reported.”

In April, SP chief drew outrage for his remarks like “boys are boys and they commit mistakes” and pathetically vowed to change Law, if voted into power. Thanks to the people for confining SP to only two seats out of 80.

The Congress party has slammed Mulayam's comments right away. Rashid Alvi said, “even one case of rape in a state, is a shame to the government,” while Shobha Oza said such remarks will encourage criminals.

This Is Just The Beginning KCR

This Is Just The Beginning KCR

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar said his government will not compromise on anything which will benefit the people and this is just the beginning of his governance. Addressing the media after the six hours long cabinet meeting, KCR has said the government has given nod for farm loan waiver, special privileges to the martyrs families, Rs 1000 crores for minorities and over 43 topics are discussed in the meeting.

KCR reported that in the last decade or so, every scheme of government  did not reach the people but it filled the pockets of mediators. “Irrigation project funds went to the contractors, scam in physically handicapped pensions, scam in housing for the middle class and there are many such schemes where the government funds went in vain. In our government, every penny will be spent on people and as promised the government will construct and allot two bedroom house to the beneficiaries,” said KCR.

On government lands which were encroached, KCR added that the officials will do re-survey and will take back Bhoodan lands, Wakf lands, endowment lands and ENT lands. A Wakf Tribunal to protect land would also be set up.

War with Centre

CM KCR is also determined that he won't support the idea of Governor getting involved in governance and also announced that he will hit hard back at the Central government. “Giving special powers to Governor is disgrace to the government of Telangana and we won't support this idea at all. The government is ready to fight with Centre,” added KCR.
