Congress party is neglecting Muslims: R. Roshan Baig
Lok Sabha Election
Bengaluru: It was the Congress' tradition to give three tickets to Muslim candidates in the state for the Lok Sabha elections. But this time, the party has given only one ticket, former minister R. Roshan Baig expressed outrage.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, he said Congress used to give tickets to Muslim candidates at Gulbarga, Dharwad and Bengaluru districts. Muslims had demanded ticket for Bidar constituency when Gulbarga became a reserved constituency," he said.
"The party kept on denying Muslim candidates by giving illogical reasons. It seems that the Congress is proceeding towards bringing the Muslim leadership to an end," he alleged.
He accused that due to the failure of KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao and senior leader Siddaramaiah's leadership, Muslims had to face this injustice.
Muslim Free Congress: Congress party is constantly neglecting Muslims. If we observe this, a suspicion arises that whether Congress is hatching a conspiracy to make the party free from Muslims," Baig noted.
During the recent convention of AICC president Rahul Gandhi in the city, banners carried the posters of JDS chief Devegowda, CM Kumaraswamy, Siddaramaiah and Dinesh Gundurao. However, there was no photo of Muslim leaders, he added.
I will write a letter to Rahul Gandhi asking why Congress is neglecting Muslims. Also, I will mention about the working style of the Congress' state in-charge KC Venugopal, in the letter. In Tamil Nadu too, Congress used to give One ticket to a Muslim candidate. But, there also no ticket has been issued to the Muslims this time.
No ticket for Christians as well: A ticket was also being given to the Christian community. But this time, Christians have also not given tickets. Following which, former minister J. Alexander has resigned from the Congress. Besides, former MP HT. Sangliana is also tendering his resignation, Roshan Baig informed.

Telangana to name roads after Ratan Tata, Donald Trump
Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
