Congress MPs in Telangana have decided to present an adjournment motion in the upcoming Parliament session to address the government’s perceived neglect of the state. This decision emerged during an all-party meeting led by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu, although representatives from the Opposition BJP and BRS opted not to participate. The only non-Congress MP present was Hyderabad’s Asaduddion Owaisi from AIMIM. The state government highlighted 28 projects requiring central approval and funding, including the Metro Railway Phase II, Musi rejuvenation, the Future City project, and the Regional Ring Road (RRR).

Union Minister and BJP leader G. Kishan Reddy explained his absence from the meeting, citing a last-minute invitation. However, he assured that there would be no compromise on the interests of Telangana. The four Rajya Sabha MPs from the BRS also did not attend. Owaisi pledged to address the issues outlined by the state government during the parliamentary session.

Owaisi remarked, “I believe the Government of India is not treating the people of Telangana fairly. Even with eight MPs from the BJP, including several ministers, justice has not been served in terms of project approvals for Telangana. We simply seek parity; the same level of funding and approval given to other states should be extended to our state as well.”

The Deputy Chief Minister called on all MPs to transcend political differences and come together for Telangana’s development. He mentioned that a comprehensive project list would be distributed to all state MPs through the Resident Commissioner’s office. The MPs who attended the meeting agreed to bring up the issue during the Zero Hour and Question Hour and to initiate an adjournment motion.

Addressing the Opposition MPs who were absent, the Deputy Chief Minister said, “If they feel they were not adequately informed, we will ensure they are notified at least a week in advance for the next meeting, and I will personally reach out to invite them.”

In addition to new projects, the Congress government also included various central initiatives such as Navodaya schools in their appeal.

New Delhi: An 18-year-old MBBS student has accused a 20-year-old male friend of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a hotel in Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar area. The alleged incident took place on September 9, police officials said.

According to the complaint, the accused, who is also a medical student, invited the woman to “Hotel Apple” on the pretext of spending time together. Once there, he allegedly gave her a drink laced with drugs and then raped her.

The survivor told police that the accused recorded obscene videos and took pictures during the assault. He later threatened to make the content viral if she reported the incident.

The woman, a native of Jind in Haryana, is currently staying at the hostel of Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College in Rohini, Delhi.

Based on her complaint, police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. A search is underway to locate and arrest the accused, officials added.
