“It’s a foregone conclusion, Owaisi is winning without a question…you don’t have to think about it also…She (Madhavi Latha) is making a complete joke of herself and a caricature of herself…what nonsense is that? So I think that election is a foregone conclusion especially with such a comedian running from BJP,” he remarked in an ANI podcast.
To the question of why he was using “such strong language” against Madhavi Latha, KTR said: “Because she is a comedian. Talk to anybody on the ground and you will know the same thing. She is just making a fool of herself…An election is about serious issues. An election is not about shooting arrows or dancing in the streets and making a complete joke of yourself…let her talk about inflation, and jobs and let her talk about what Modi has delivered to this country or Hyderabad. When Hyderabad was reeling under floods, did the BJP give a single rupee?” he asked.
AIMIM since 1984
Since 1984, AIMIM is unbeaten in Hyderabad. In 1984, Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, father of Asaduddin Owaisi won central seat from Hyderabad. He won Hyderabad seat for six straight terms until he took retirement in 2004. Then after from 2004, Asaduddin never lost from that constituency.
Now, Asaduddin is looking to win Hyderabad seat for the fifth time in a row. But this time he got tough competitors in the name of Madhavi Latha from BJP and Sameer Waliullah.
Biggest advantage of AIMIM party is that, Hyderabad seat has over 60% of Muslim voters. And other than Goshamahal, all other Assembly seats are held by AIMIM party only.
CM Revanth Reddy reorganizes disaster management for Greater Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has decided to assign critical responsibilities to the Disaster Management Department within Greater Hyderabad. He has directed officials to implement structural changes and redistribute responsibilities accordingly. In a review meeting at the Secretariat on Monday evening, the Chief Minister discussed the reorganization with officials from Municipal Administration, HMDA, and Musi Development.
Expansion of disaster management responsibilities
Recognizing the geographic expansion of Hyderabad, the Chief Minister ordered the Disaster Management Department to extend its jurisdiction to the Outer Ring Road. He suggested including GHMC, 27 surrounding municipalities and corporations, and 33 gram panchayats within its service area. The department will be renamed the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring Protection (HYDRA). The Chief Minister proposed appointing a DIG-level officer as the director and SP-level officers as additional directors. He also recommended special teams from GHMC, HMDA, the Water Board, city traffic, and other departments to join this new division.
The Chief Minister emphasized the need for the Disaster Management Department to offer continuous services to city residents, not just during floods or emergencies. HYDRA should actively address all issues faced by Hyderabad’s citizens, including preserving the city’s tanks and ponds, protecting government properties from encroachments, and managing hoardings and flex banners. Additionally, HYDRA will oversee water pipelines, electricity supply lines, drainage, flood management, and traffic control.
Focus on heritage and infrastructure projects
Chief Minister Reddy directed the acceleration of the Musi River Development Project, aiming to elevate Hyderabad’s international reputation. He stressed the importance of working towards the government’s goal of transforming this project into a landmark. He also ordered officials to take necessary actions to restore historical buildings and structures within the city. The GHMC presented a PowerPoint on various heritage sites, such as the City Library, Charminar Ayurvedic Hospital, and Nizamia Observatory etc. The Chief Minister encouraged exploring ways to develop these sites for tourism and integrating feasible ones into the Musi River Development Project.
The Chief Minister instructed Chief Secretary Shantikumar to draft a comprehensive reorganization plan, including staffing, duties, and budget allocations for HYDRA. He also emphasized identifying key areas where the Disaster Management Department can enhance its operations.
The meeting included Chief Secretary Shantikumar, Principal Secretary of Municipal Administration and Urban Development Danakishore, GHMC Commissioner Amrapali, GHMC Vigilance Disaster Management Commissioner A.V. Ranganath, and Hyderabad Water Board MD Ashok Reddy.
