New Delhi: The National in charge of BJP’s Information and Technology Department, Amit Malviya was on Wednesday trolled by Twitter users after journalist Aadesh Rawal busted his claim regarding a journalist being turned out of Rahul Gandhi’s press conference.

Taking to his official Twitter handle, Amit had on Wednesday evening claimed that a veteran journalist was turned out of Rahul Gandhi’s press conference for asking a question.

Without naming the journalist Amit had claimed that the journalist has been covering the Congress party for the ‘longest time’ and is even accused of being sympathetic to them.

He further went on to question if this is the politics of love and tolerance Rahul Gandhi speaks of?

“Today, a veteran Congress beat journalist, who has been covering the party for the longest time, is even accused of being sympathetic to them, was turned out of Rahul Gandhi’s press conference, for merely asking a question. Is this the politics of love and tolerance RG speaks of?” he wrote in the tweet.

Replying to Amit’s tweet, journalist Aadesh Rawal said he was present in Rahul Gandhi’s press conference earlier in the day and said he had not come across any incident of any journalist being turned out of the press conference.

He further added that he spoke to his peers to know more about the incident but could not trace any truth to the claim.

“Amit Ji, I was present at the press conference. I even spoke to other friends and asked about any such incident. Nobody witnessed the incident where a journalist was turned out. It will be better if you can share more details about the incident” Aadesh wrote in Hindi.

Twitter users took note of the tweet from both Amit and Aadesh and started trolling Amit for his claim. Several users also urged Amit to respond to the Aadesh Rawal’s tweet with enough evidence to prove himself right.

Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Wednesday night and urged him to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state in view of its growing administrative and security needs.

The two leaders also discussed the recent surrender of several senior Maoist leaders before the Telangana Police and other issues.

"During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the issue of Maoist surrenders and their rehabilitation. The chief minister informed Shah that significant improvements in policing have taken place in Telangana over the past two years," an official release here said.

Highlighting that 591 Maoists have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream of society during this period, the chief minister said the state government was providing them compensation and rehabilitation assistance as per the rules.

He requested the Union home minister to extend financial support from the central government for development works in the backward regions of the state.

Reddy also urged Shah to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state from 83 to 105 in line with the state's growing administrative and security needs, the statement said.

The first cadre review after the formation of Telangana was conducted in 2016, while the next review, due in 2021, was delayed and finally carried out in 2025. Even then, only seven additional IPS officers were allocated to the state, the chief minister informed Shah and requested that the third cadre review be conducted in 2026 as per the schedule.

Reddy explained that Telangana, like the rest of the country, is facing several modern challenges, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and other emerging security threats.

He highlighted the reorganisation of the Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri Police Commissionerates, the proposed formation of the Future City Commissionerate and the rapidly growing population in Hyderabad to underline the increasing administrative requirements of the state.
