Telangana Cong suspends former Union minister Satyanarayana
Hyderabad, Jan 6: The Congress Sunday suspended former Union minister Sarve Satyanarayana from the party for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief Uttam Kumar Reddy and its state in charge R C Khuntia.
He was suspended with immediate effect for an indefinite period, a senior party functionary Sunday said.
"He made objectionable remarks against Uttam Kumar Reddy and Khuntia in the party's Malkajgiri parliamentary constituency review meet. He also threw a water bottle on a general secretary. Satyanarayana used abusive language against some leaders in the meeting," Telangana PCC Disciplinary Committee chairman M Kodanda Reddy told PTI.
"He was suspended with immediate effect. We have not mentioned any suspension period," he said, adding there was no need to issue a notice prior to suspension as the incident at the meeting in Gandhi Bhavan, the party's state headquarters, had several witnesses.
Satyanarayana, however, claimed he was targeted by some leaders as he belonged to a Scheduled Caste.
He said he boycotted the party meeting as he was attacked by goons who were enjoying party posts.
Satyanarayana unsuccessfully contested from the Cantonment Assembly constituency in the recently held polls.

Allahabad HC sets aside maintenance order in favour of earning wife, says she didn't tell truth
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has set aside a lower court order mandating a man to pay maintenance to his estranged wife, observing that she earns her living and did not reveal the true salary in her affidavit.
Justice Madan Pal Singh also allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the man, Ankit Saha.
"A perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that in the affidavit filed before the trial court, the opposite party herself admitted that she is a post-graduate and a web designer by qualification. She is working as a senior sales coordinator in a company and getting a salary of Rs 34,000 per month," the court said in the December 3 order.
"But in her cross-examination, she has admitted that she was earning Rs 36,000 per month. Such an amount for a wife who has no other liability cannot be said to be meagre; whereas the man has the responsibility of maintaining his aged parents and other social obligations," it observed.
The high court observed that the woman was not entitled to get any maintenance from her husband "as she is an earning lady and able to maintain herself".
The man's counsel argued in court that the estranged wife did not reveal the whole truth in the affidavit.
"She claimed herself to be an illiterate and unemployed woman. When the document filed by the man was shown to her before the trial court, she admitted her income during cross-examination. Thus, it is clear that she did not come before the trial court with clean hands," the counsel submitted.
The court, in its order, said, "Cases of those litigants who have no regard for the truth and those who indulge in suppressing material facts need to be thrown out of the court."
It impugned the lower court's February 17 judgment and order, passed by the principal judge of a family court in Gautam Buddh Nagar and allowed the criminal revision petition filed by the man.
