Growing footprint of global giants in Hyderabad is proof that it is HyderabadPlus: Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM president and Lok Sabha member Asaduddin Owaisi hopes to see TRS working president KT Rama Rao “back in governance”. His tweet on Monday on this subject was responded to by Rama Rao on Twitter saying: “Many thanks MP Saab for your very kind words.”

Owaisi’s comment on Twitter that went “credit must be given to ‘ex minister’ @KTRTRS, waiting to see him back in governance,” was in response to another tweet posted by a senior journalist on how Hyderabad has become home to “#Oppo last year, #Amazon last week, #OnePlus today. The growing footprint of global giants in #Hyderabad is proof that it is #HyderabadPlus.

This conversation online followed Rama Rao’s speech after he inaugurated the OnePlus research and development centre in the city on Monday.

Meanwhile, the AIMIM president appeared to



have found fault with the Centre’s reported view against bringing in a new law to curb mob lynchings.

“The Bill I’d proposed to curb mob violence sought to fix shoddy enforcement by ensuring independent investigation & prosecution. Unless errant cops are penalised & accused are imprisoned in a time-bound manner, the mob will only feel emboldened It’s not rocket science @AmitShah,” the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader tweeted.

Owaisi referred to media reports, quoting officials, that a new law to curb lynching is unlikely as existing laws were enough to combat crimes like lynching and all it required was “enforcement”.

He had earlier favoured bringing in a law against lynching. He had also proposed a Bill to check incidents of mob lynchings.
