Make in Telangana: New Industrial Policy Announced

0

Telangana Government has announced a new industrial policy to attract investors from across the globe with an aim to boost the image of the capital city—Hyderabad.  Various banners set up across the city carry the slogan ‘Make in Hyderabad.’  It is known that ‘Make in India,’ is the slogan that was coined by the prime minister Narendra Modi to lure investments from China. It now looks like chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao is imitating Modi.

The HICC, which is hosting the mega industrial-policy meet in Hyderabad, was beautifully decorated. All the delegates of important companies are reportedly attending this meet. In fact, at least 2000 seating arrangements were made for VIPs alone, which reflect the magnitude of the meet.

The new industrial policy aims at granting industrial licenses to the companies without any hurdles. Also, there will be a single window system wherein prospective industries-wishing to set up their offices in Hyderabad-can directly apply for company licenses online, which will be cleared in two weeks, if we have to go by the buzz.

It is known that Microsoft-which was functioning in three units at rental facilities-recently got a permanent location in Hyderabad, which was confirmed when IT minister KTR was on US tour. Now, the government sources revealed that another mobile major—Micromax will set up its facility in Hyderabad soon.

Notably, a manufacturing unit of Amazon was recently set up near Hyderabad. All these developments are proving that no matter even if Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana, it will still remain as a global city that will welcome people from across the globe.

However, KCR imitating Modi is the sole question here. It is still not ascertained whether Modi gave any guidelines to KCR at personal level or the latter is trying to impress the prime minister, especially in the wake of cash-for-vote and subsequent meet of Chandrababu with Narendra Modi.

K Chandrashekar Rao-Profile

0

K Chandrashekara Rao is the first chief minister of Telangana state. He is also the chief of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, which claims to have brought the state of Telangana from erstwhile Andhra Pradesh.

Born on February 17, 1954 in Medak district of erstwhile Hyderabad state, K Chandrashekar Rao is a post graduate in Telugu literature from Osmania University.

KCR started off his political stint with Congress as youth leader under the leadership of Sanjay Gandhi.  An admirer of legendary N.T. Rama Rao, KCR joined Telugu Desam Party in 1983 and contested as an MLA but lost. He later, won as when N.T. Rama Rao called for re-elections post Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

KCR was made minister of drought and relief in N.T. Rama Rao’s cabinet. He even served as TDP convener for Nizamabad, Adilabad and Medak district in 1990. After the fall of NTR, KCR continued in Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership and became transport minister in 1996. He was the deputy speaker of Andhra Pradesh assembly between 2000-01.

KCR, who resigned to TDP in 2001 over discrimination meted out to Telangana region, has formed Telangana Rashtra Samithi in April, 2001. His party gained momentum in the region due to which Congress came forward and allied with TRS in 2004. The UPA, which tried to come to power in 2004, included the formation of Telangana in its common minimum programme.

Mr Rao was made the minister of state in the first term of UPA. The main agenda of the party—Telangana state—was pushed into the pipeline, which made KCR to resign for the post and ally with TDP in 2009.

In November 2009, KCR vowed before the public to bring Telangana state and underwent fast unto death. The student movement for Telangana state picked up during this period. The then union home minister Chidambaram, on December 9 mid-night, gave a media statement that the Government of India decided to form Telangana state and an appropriate resolution would be moved in the assembly.

Soon after the statement, KCR withdrew his fast and continued to fight for the cause until 2014. He even promised to merge TRS with Congress if Telangana state is carved out. He soon backtracked and said that he wanted to work towards ‘Bangaru Telangana.’ He sworn in as the chief minister of Telangana on June 2, 2014.

Mysteries Surrounding Babu’s ‘Alleged Phone Tapping’

0

With AP chief minister Chandrababu Naidu taking up the alleged phone tapping before the Centre, the Telangana government clarified that no such stints were involved in this cash-for-vote scam.

On Tuesday alone, at least nine ministers of Telangana government reiterated that they didn’t resort to phone tapping.

Even as the Anti Corruption Bureau is being blamed over the investigation procedures, ACB chief A K Khan plunged into the scene and briefed the media that the investigation in cash-for-vote was done as per their protocol, involving professionals.

It is known that the police has no authority to leak any of the substantial evidences to the media when the matter is prejudice and ACB too clearly said that they didn’t tap the phone. The question of leaking them to the media, therefore, doesn’t arise, opined political  observers.

So, it is evident that the police in this particular alleged tape episode is on a safe land. Who is at blame? Whether telephone line was really tapped or is it a clever play of Stephenson?

Here are some possibilities as to how this conversation was recorded, according to the experts.

Stephenson, the nominated MLA to the Telangana government, approached ACB and submitted a written complaint to the bureau that he was being lured for MLC vote.

As a part of the same, police-based on the written complaint-can presumably tap the telephone calls of Stephenson. While ACB is stressing that chief minister’s phone is not tapped, it is not clarifying anything about tapping Stephenson’s calls.

Also, it must be mentioned here that smart phones in today’s market have an option of auto-record. Apparently, there’s every chance of Stephenson recording Babu’s conversation on his mobile phone and handing it to TRS (his party).

All in all, if Chandrababu Naidu is really convinced that his phone lines are tapped, he has every right to move the court. However, his arguments in public-as to how can chief minister’s phone be tapped-are not acceptable, for the Constitution of India guarantees no separate law for a chief minister.

Telangana CM in Soup? Defamation Suits Filed in AP

0

Barely a day after Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu’s alleged tapes went viral on the electronic media, TDP cadre plunged into action. Several FIRs have reportedly been filed against Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekara Rao for allegedly defaming their party supremo and chief minister. The first report is presumably filed at Vijayawada, the city where Babu is scheduled to hold a massive public meeting.

 

It is known that Andhra Pradesh Government’s media advisor Parakala Prabhakar said they (the government) would see an end. It now looks like the dramatic changes that are being taking place in AP are first action measures.

 

Also, the TDP cadre is alleging that any official, who requires to tap telephonic conversations, need to seek the permission of the Centre, which didn’t take place in this particular place. How KCR is going to come down on these reactions is now a million dollar question.

T Govt Denies Tapping, AP Writes to Centre

0

With Andhra Pradesh Government and TDP folks taking on Telangana government over the alleged tapping of AP chief minister’s phone, the Telangana government has swung into the action. The deputy chief minister of Telangana state, Kadiyam Srihari has categorically denied that the government didn’t tap Chandrababu Naidu’s phone.

He has further said that his party’s nominated MLA, Stephenson approached the Anti Corruption Bureau and gave a written complaint that he was lured by Revanth Reddy. Accordingly, ACB recorded the phone conversations of Stephenson alone, added Kadiyam.

Questioning on Revanth Reddy’s alleged cash for vote scam, Kadiyam asked Chandrababu as to why he didn’t condemn the heinous act. He even challenged Chandrababu if he was ready for a lie-detector test.

Coming down heavily on the statements of Chandrababu Naidu, he has said that Telangana police alone has jurisdiction on Hyderabad and Babu was misleading the people of Andhra.

It is still a matter of debate as to how the crime issue took a diversion to Hyderabad. Is TDP trying to sideline the corruption issue by bringing in Hyderabad? Well, it remains to be a rhetorical question.

On the other hand, Andhra Pradesh cabinet is convening a key meeting today for sending a resolution to the Centre that law and order in Hyderabad be handed over to the governor of Telugu states, as mentioned in Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill.

Telugu CMs Cross Swords in Public

0

The cash-for-vote scam is now giving raise to war of words between Telugu chief ministers. With TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu, in the status of the chief minister, warning his arch rival KCR that the matter would be escalated in case he opens his eyes, Telangana chief minister came down vehemently and said that even God couldn’t save him.
These remarks are now becoming topic of the town. Are there any underlined meanings or warnings behind these statements? The political experts in Telugu state are saying yes!
It is known that TDP is an ally of the ruling NDA Government at the Centre. Also, key leader from TDP is serving as the union minister too. By stating that the matter would be taken way ahead, the political experts opined that Chandrababu Naidu was hinting at the apparent possibilities of taking up the matter with the Indian prime minister.
The counter of K Chandrashekara Rao stressing that even Lord couldn’t save him can be regarded that prime minister Narendra Modi will not be of any help to Chandrababu Naidu in this entire episode, added experts.
Whatever the issue is, chief ministers crossing swords in public is undoubtedly not a good sign in the democratic set up. While Chandrababu Naidu should have reacted swiftly on Revanth Reddy’s episode, K Chandrashekara Rao should have not reacted to Babu’s comments.
All in all, as home minister Rajnath Singh reportedly said, an investigation should be taken up properly at a place that’s far away from sensationalism, it would be better if KCR remain silent and let the law take its course of action.
At the end, everyone is equal before law—Rule of Law. That’s the very essence of our constitution. Be it chief minister of whosoever, they can’t bank on their posts to escape investigations or is procedures as the Indian Constitution offers no immunity for any official in the matters pertaining to crime.
