Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed in Alladurg, Telangana’s Sangareddy district, on Tuesday. During the rally PM claimed that if Congress comes to power, they will bring out inheritance tax. Since the Lok Sabha voting date schedule was revealed, this is PM Modi’s second visit to the state.

During the rally, PM Modi slammed Congress and said, when the whole world was progressing, India was suffering from policy paralysis under Congress government. He also said black money collected through Double R tax in Telangana is going to Delhi. Congress government in Telangana did not fulfill promise of loan waiver even 100 days after coming to power, says PM Modi.

The PM continued saying that the Congress had planned to collect 55% as inheritance tax, if it comes to power.

PM Modi at Telangana rally also took a jibe at former Chief Minister led-BRS party and said first it was that party which looted Telangana and now it is Congress.

For the BJP, Telangana is a crucial southern state in terms of strategy, since the party wants to gain a sizable number of seats in order to move closer to its lofty goal of 370 Lok Sabha seats. Amit Shah, the home minister, had earlier stated that Telangana should win ten seats out of a total of 17.

Meanwhile, Amit Shah will launch his campaign on May 1 in an effort to increase support for Madhavi Latha, the BJP’s candidate in Hyderabad, who is running against the sitting member of the legislature, Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM.

The BJP won four seats in Telangana in the previous 2019 elections. All candidates fielded by the party were from their respective constituencies, with the exception of Soyam Bapurao (Adilabad).

Along with National General Secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar (Karimnagar), Nizamabad MP D Arvind, and BJP Telangana leader and Union minister G Kishan Reddy, who is running from Secunderabad, they have already begun strong campaigns in their respective electoral division.

Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, was suspended by the JD(S) on Tuesday due to claims of sexual assault. Former Chief Minister and head of the JD(S), HD Kumaraswamy, stated that the decision was made because the party opposed injustice against women.

Kumaraswamy claimed that the vulgar videos were leaked just five days before the Hassan constituency polls, implying a plot against the JD(S). The NDA’s candidate in Hassan, which had its second round of elections on April 26, was Prajwal Revanna.

Till today, the victims have not filed complaints with the authorities. Regarding this, the Chief Minister has received a letter from the State Women’s Commission. The Chief Minister then constituted a SIT, according to Prajwal Revanna’s uncle Kumaraswamy.

The former Chief Minister said, his (Prajwal Revanna) suspension is until the investigation is completed.

The JD(S) MP allegedly fled the country for Germany as the obscene video clips purportedly featuring Prajwal began to circulate in Hassan.

Revanna was seen in the video recordings purportedly abusing several women sexually.

Amidst the incident, the MP and his father, JD(S) MLA and former minister HD Revanna, were accused of sexual harassment by a woman who worked in Prajwal’s household. In response to the woman’s complaint, both of them has been named in a case.

The eldest son of JD(S) patriarch Deve Gowda, HD Revanna, claimed there was politics underlying the matter and said he was amenable to an inquiry into the claims of sexual assault. Revanna said that if the accusations were validated, he and his son were prepared to answer to the authorities.

The Congress has seized the opportunity to attack the BJP and JD(S), an ally. According to a Congress spokesperson Suprya Shrinate, the BJP leader Devaraj Gowda, wrote to the party leadership last year regarding pen drives and Revanna’s sexual misconduct.

Congress workers protested the issue on Tuesday in Bengaluru and other cities of Karnataka.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka police have been asked to provide a report on the matter to the National Commission for Women (NCW) within three days.
