Hyderabad: Welcoming the resolution passed in the Legislative Assembly against the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi wanted to know why the Centre was against the poor and the farming community. He hailed the resolution to name the new Parliament after B.R. Ambedkar and hoped that even the new Secretariat building in the State be named after the architect of the constitution.
Speaking to the media, Owaisi wondered why the Centre was challenging the state government’s authority over matters of power enshrined by the 2003 Electricity Act. “This will escalate prices and add to the cost of living. Why is Prime Minister Narendra Modi against the poor and trying to benefit the big companies,” he asked.
Meanwhile, MIM will celebrate the ‘integration day’, by taking out a bike rally from Tadbun near Zoo park. “The Tiranga rally will start at Masjid Abubakr and conclude at Teegalkunta, which will be followed by a public meeting. On the second day we shall be taking part in the State government’s official function,” he explained. On whether he would be attending the celebrations being organized by the Union government, he said he was yet to get an invite.
Regarding his visit to Rajasthan on Wednesday and Thursday, he said that it was aimed at strengthening the party base. After holding meetings with core group members in Jalupura, he will address a public meeting at Sikar. Another public meeting is scheduled for Thursday in Ladnun.
