TRS MLAs poaching case: KCR plays video of alleged 'deal' by BJP men

TRS MLAs poaching case: KCR plays video proof of alleged 'deal' by BJP men

At a press conference here, Rao referred to the recent 'TRS MLAs poaching case' and played a video allegedly concerning the episode in which three persons were arrested.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday said the persons arrested in connection with the "TRS MLAs poaching case" were planning to topple four state governments including his own and Congress-ruled Rajasthan and appealed to the judiciary to safeguard democracy.
At a press conference here, Rao referred to the recent 'TRS MLAs poaching case' and played a video allegedly concerning the episode in which three persons were arrested.
"They openly say in the video we already dethroned eight (state) governments. And how they conducted the operation. Now we (the men) are in the process of dethroning four governments, i.e Telangana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan," he said.
Rao said the appeals to the judicial system in the country to "protect the democracy in the country" and to punish the culprits whoever it is, was vis-a-vis "purchasing MLAs".
"Henceforth, it becomes the prime duty of every democratic thinker and I expect honourable Supreme court CJ and also honourable judges of the supreme court, honourable CJs of all High courts to discuss and take all required steps, whatever they are in accordance with law." "Please punish the culprit who so ever it is. This kind of open purchasing of MLAs, dethroning governments..." he said.
The three men arrested in the case took the names of top leaders, Rao said.
Condemning the claims of the three persons in strong words, he said the men spoke about dethroning non-BJP governments.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP heads the Delhi government while YSRCP is in the ruling saddle in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
Rao said such video evidence has already been submitted to the High Court in connection with the MLAs poaching case.
He further said he will send all the evidence he got in the "TRS MLAs poaching case" to the Chief Justice of India, CJs of all High Courts, media houses, CBI and ED for their knowledge.

Sisodia displays 'proof' of Operation Lotus, targets Amit Shah

The senior AAP leader played the audio tape at a press conference and claimed the BJP "dalal" (broker) heard in the clip was one of the three people arrested in Telangana

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday produced an audio clip of an alleged BJP man purportedly discussing the party's bid to poach AAP MLAs in the capital and demanded Home Minister Amit Shah's arrest and ouster if he was involved in the matter.
The senior AAP leader played the audio tape at a press conference and claimed the BJP "dalal" (broker) heard in the clip was one of the three people arrested in Telangana over an alleged bid to poach that state's ruling party Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MLAs.
Ramachandra Bharati aka Satish Sharma, Nanda Kumar and Simhayaji Swamy were arrested by Telangana Police earlier this week for allegedly trying to coax four TRS legislators into defecting to the BJP.
He also showed their pictures with a senior RSS leader and two Union ministers and said their connection with the BJP rank and file was evident.
There was no immediate reaction from the BJP or Shah.
"In this audio, the BJP's dalal (broker) can be heard luring a (TRS) MLA to the BJP, saying they were also trying to poach 43 Delhi MLAs and that money had been kept aside for this purpose. He is also saying that he has spoken with Shah and BL Santhosh," Sisodia said.
"If it is Home Minister Amit Shah the BJP dalal is referring to, he should immediately be arrested and questioned," the Delhi deputy chief minister said.
He also demanded that Shah be sacked as the home minister if he was involved in the conspiracy under "Operation Lotus".

Sisodia said the audio tape was a "proof" of the BJP's failed attempt to poach AAP MLAs in Delhi and Punjab and demanded a probe by the Enforcement Directorate into the matter.
"It is very dangerous for a country if its home minister is involved in such a conspiracy," he said.
When asked how the clip substantiated the involvement of the two senior BJP leaders, he said, "If the ED and the CBI find some time, they will come to know who those being referred to as B L Santhosh and Shah in the conversation are." &ldquo;Everybody knows B L Santhosh. The BJP's broker has named Amit Shah ji, the country's home minister, as the number two in the recorded conversation,&rdquo; he added.
Sisodia also demanded a probe into the source of the money used by the BJP for "Operation Lotus".
In a separate press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh demanded that the Election Commission immediately de-recognise the BJP as a political party.
"The BJP has become a kidnapping gang. It is no more a political party as it poaches other party MLAs to topple their government. It has become a group which murders democracy. I demand that the Election Commission immediately de-recognise the BJP," he said.

KCR: BJP trying to buy 20-30 TRS MLAs, 'brokers' sent from Delhi

He claimed that 'brokers' from Delhi offered the sitting legislators Rs 100 crore each.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday accused the BJP of 'trying to buy' 20 or 30 MLAs of the ruling TRS and topple his government and claimed that 'brokers' from Delhi offered the sitting legislators Rs 100 crore each.
Addressing a poll rally at bypoll-bound Munugode Rao segment, Rao said, however, the legislators, who are 'sons of the soil,' rebuffed the offer.
&ldquo;You have seen yesterday. (BJP thinks) there is one KCR who is talking loudly. Let&rsquo;s see his (political) end. They have sent brokers to buy each MLA for Rs 100 crore. They wanted to buy 20 or 30 MLAs and topple KCR's government and encroach Telangana so that they can implement privatisation as per their will,&rdquo; Rao alleged.
His statement comes a day after three people who tried to "poach" four TRS legislators were arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
Rao paraded all the four legislators in the public meeting, praising them that such people are required in politics.
Based on a complaint by P Rohith Reddy, one of the TRS legislators, cases under relevant sections - criminal conspiracy, offering bribe and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 - were filed against Ramachandra Bharati alias Satish Sharma, Nanda Kumar and Simhayaji Swamy -- on October 26 night.

According to the FIR copy, Rohith Reddy alleged that the accused offered him Rs 100 crore and in return the legislator had to leave the TRS and contest as a BJP candidate in the upcoming Assembly elections &ldquo;Four sons of soil (MLAs) came with me (today for the meeting). Day before yesterday some Delhi brokers came to buy our Telangana self-respect and offered Rs 100 crore. But our sons of soil hit them with their left footwear saying they were not for sale,&rdquo; the CM said, adding they wanted to purchase the legislators like &ldquo;cattle&rdquo; in the open market.
Rao sought a reply from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on whether such things were good for society.
&ldquo;Who provided Rs 100 crore that was offered to the MLAs? Inquiry has to be done into this. Who is behind the issue? Are they (whoever masterminded the issue) entitled to continue in their respective posts?&rdquo; Rao asked.
He further said people&rsquo;s silence on these 'poaching' issues will become a curse one day.
Urging people to vote for TRS candidate Prabhakar Reddy in the bypoll, Rao alleged that the BJP was mandating installation of electricity meters for agriculture pump sets and asking domestic consumers to replace their electricity meters, which would cost Rs 30,000 each.
According to Rao, there is no country in the world, except India, that has 50 per cent irrigable land and a conspiracy was being hatched to handover farmlands to corporates, though the nation has sufficient manpower and other resources.

Amid MLA poaching allegations Telangana govt withdraws general consent to CBI

Amid Telangana MLA poaching allegations KCR govt withdraws general consent to CBI

On August 31, the Chief Minister had said in Bihar's capital Patna that all states should withdraw the general consent given to the CBI.

The Telangana government has withdrawn general consent given to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the state.
According to a state government order issued on August 30, prior consent of Telangana is required for the central probe agency on a case-to-case basis to investigate in the state.
Though the government order (GO) was issued two months ago, it did not figure in the public domain until Saturday when the Additional Advocate General (AAG) informed the Telangana High Court, during arguments on a petition filed by the BJP seeking a CBI probe into the TRS MLAs poaching case, that the general consent for CBI was withdrawn by the state government.
"Government of Telangana hereby withdraws all previous general consents issued by the State Government under Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946 (Central Act XXV of 1946), vide any letters or notifications including the Notification issued in G.O.Ms.No.160, Home (SC) Department, dt.23.09.2016, to all the Members of Delhi Special Police Establishment to exercise the powers and jurisdiction under the said Act in the State of Telangana," the GO read.

The development comes after the BJP and TRS have indulged in a war of words over several issues in recent past that has led to acrimony between the two parties.
The BJP also dragged Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter K Kavitha's name in the Delhi liquor policy scam which is being probed by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate. She, however, denied the allegations.
On August 31, the Chief Minister had said in Bihar's capital Patna that all states should withdraw the general consent given to the CBI.
Addressing a press conference in Patna with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by his side, Rao alleged that all central agencies were being "misused" by the BJP to target its political opponents.
"All central investigative agencies, including the CBI, are being misused by the Centre to target the BJP's political rivals in the country. This should stop now and all state governments should withdraw their consent to the CBI. After all, policing is a state subject," he said.
According to Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, 1946, the CBI needs consent from the respective state governments for conducting investigations in their jurisdictions.
If the general consent is withdrawn, the agency has to seek permission from the state government for registering a case.
Eight states, including West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Punjab and Meghalaya, have currently withdrawn general consent for the CBI to probe cases in their jurisdiction. Maharashtra had earlier withdrew the consent but later revoked the decision.&nbsp;

Two days after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) accepted its complaint against the BJP&rsquo;s alleged attempts to topple governments in various states, the Aam Aadmi Party has sought time from President Droupadi Murmu to apprise her about BJP's 'Operation Lotus'.
Taking to Twitter, AAP MLA Atishi shared that the President has agreed to meet a delegation of the party's MLAs on September 7, 2022, a request for which was put earlier in the day.&nbsp;
On the other hand, Bharatiya Janata Party leaders have also sought President&rsquo;s time in the matter. &nbsp;A delegation of saffron party leaders will be meeting President Droupadi Murmu on September 6, 2022 to demand the dismissal of the AAP government over a host of issues, including allegations of corruption against its ministers.
On Wednesday, a 10-member delegation of the AAP MLAs including Atishi went to meet CBI Director Subodh Kumar Jaiswal to demand a probe into BJP's alleged attempts to topple other parties' governments in the state even though his office had not given any response to their request for the meeting.
As they were not allowed to enter the CBI headquarters, the AAP legislators sat on a dharna outside in protest.
Amid the agitation, some CBI officials took AAP's chief whip in Delhi Assembly Dilip K Pandey and Kalkaji MLA Atishi inside the agency premises to lodge their complaint
The AAP leaders claimed that the BJP has bought a total of 277 MLAs of other parties to topple their governments so far under 'Operation Lotus' and spent "an estimated Rs 6,300 crore" for it while demanding a CBI probe into it.
The political temperature in the national capital has been soaring after AAP alleged poaching of MLAs by BJP while the saffron party brushed off the charges and blamed the Arvind Kejriwal-led party for playing dirty politics.&nbsp;

Jharkhand politics: CM Hemant Soren proves majority in assembly 

Jharkhand CM has alleged that the opposition BJP is attempting horse-trading to destabilise the government in the state.

Chief Minister Hemant Soren-led ruling coalition in Jharkhand won a majority test in a special session of the assembly.&nbsp;
The confidence motion moved by Soren received 48 votes in favour in the 81-member house amid a boycott by the Opposition BJP, its ally AJSU Party, and two independents.
In his address to the house, Jharkhand CM alleged that the BJP is attempting horse-trading to destabilise the government in the state. Slamming the saffron party, Soren said that the opposition is creating an atmosphere of civil war.&nbsp;
The floor test was held even as uncertainty continued over the CM's political future and that of the ruling coalition.
The political crisis emerged in the state after BJP levelled corruption charges against Soren for allocating a mining lease to himself in 2021 and sought his resignation as an MLA.
In February this year, the BJP submitted a memorandum to the state Governor Ramesh Bais seeking disqualification of Soren from the House under Section 9(A) of the Representation of People's Act.&nbsp;
The Governor had forwarded the BJP complaint to the ECI and it had submitted its decision to the governor. However, the report has not been made public yet.&nbsp;

World Elephant Day 2021: Preserve these majestic creatures

Observed on 12th August annually, World Elephant Day aims at spreading awareness about the protection and conservation of elephants. It is time for the world to come together and save this iconic species!

Observed on 12th August annually, World Elephant Day aims at spreading awareness about the protection and conservation of elephants. It is time for the world to come together and save this iconic species.&nbsp;

World Elephant Day 2021: Identified by their massive body, long trunks and large ears, elephants are the epitome of iconic beauty on Earth. But sadly, the past few years have seen a decline in their population and an overwhelming increase in threats towards them.
According to the World Wild Fund, the African Elephant Habitat has declined by over 50 percent since 1979 and the Asian elephants are now around 15 percent of their original range. Poaching activities, habitat loss, human-elephant conflict and exploitation in captivity are some of the threats faced by elephants.
Observed on 12th August annually, the day aims at spreading awareness about the protection and conservation of elephants. World Elephant Day was founded in 2012 by Canadian Patricia Sims and the Elephant Reintroduction of Thailand. This has enabled the coming together of several organisations in support of this global issue.
The enforcement of measures and policies will go a long way in preventing illegal activities, trade of ivory and ill-treatment of captive elephants. After a point, even the captive elephants must be reintroduced into the natural world.
With elephants dying all across the world, there is a dire need to amplify efforts to protect&nbsp;elephants now more than ever.&nbsp;
