Hyderabad: As Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Hyderabad for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) raising day parade, posters of ‘washing powder Nirma’ emerged across the city, mocking him and other BJP leaders.

The posters featured the faces of prominent BJP leaders such as Himanta Biswa Sarma, Narayan Rane, Suvendhu Adhikari, Sujana Chowdhary, Virupakshappa, Eshwarappa, Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Arjun Khotar superimposed over the iconic Nirma girl’s face. The posters aimed to satirize the BJP’s claim of turning these leaders ‘corruption-free’ after they joined the party. The posters were accompanied by a big ‘WELCOME TO AMIT SHAH’ message, drawing attention to the arrival of the Home Minister in Hyderabad.

These posters are not the only ones to have caused a stir in Hyderabad in recent times. The day before the CISF parade, posters of ‘raid’ detergent were put up in the city on the day of BRS MLC Kavitha’s ED probe into the Delhi Excise scam case. The posters were meant to criticize the government for its handling of corruption cases and alleged misuse of power.

BRS has also put up posters across Hyderabad depicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the ten-headed Ravana from Hindu mythology, calling him the ‘destroyer of democracy’ and the ‘grandfather of hypocrisy.’ These posters show the growing frustration of some political leaders and citizens towards the government and its policies.

Political satire has always been an integral part of Indian democracy, and these posters are no exception. However, they also reflect the growing discontent and frustration among citizens towards the government’s actions and policies. In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of political satire to express dissent and voice opinions, both online and offline.

While satire and criticism are essential in a democracy, it is also important to ensure that they do not lead to violence or hate speech. It is crucial for citizens to engage in healthy discussions and debates and to criticize the government constructively.

In conclusion, the posters of ‘washing powder Nirma’ and ‘raid’ detergent, along with the depiction of Prime Minister Modi as Ravana, highlight the growing frustration and discontent among citizens towards the government’s actions and policies. Political satire has always played a significant role in Indian democracy, and it is important to ensure that it remains a tool for constructive criticism and healthy debate.

Hyderabad: Two people, including a woman, who were involved in printing and circulating fake Indian currency notes (FICN) in Telangana and other states have been arrested and fake currency worth Rs 27 lakh has been seized from them, police said on Monday.

Acting on information, police teams arrested the accused from Chandrayanagutta here and seized fake currency and other items from them, a Hyderabad Police release said.

The prime suspect in the case was the woman’s brother, who along with his sister bought raw materials to make the notes, after buying Rs 500. Police said that fake currency of face value was printed.

He was arrested by the state police in Gujarat for circulating fake notes in January. Later, the sister of the prime suspect contacted another accused, an auto-rickshaw driver, and transferred all the items, including the FICN, to Chandrayanagutta for further circulation, police said.

Hyderabad: BRS MLC K Kavitha is calling for a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation into the Adani Group. The Adani Group is allegedly involved in a massive scam worth nearly Rs 10 lakh crore. Kavitha is questioning how the Finance Minister can say “all is well” when such a large scam is taking place, and she is also asking why Prime Minister Modi is remaining silent on the matter.

In her statement, MLC Kavitha highlights the importance of a thorough investigation into the Adani Group and its alleged involvement in the scam. She argues that such a large scale corruption cannot be ignored and requires the attention of the government and its relevant agencies. The Joint Parliamentary Committee probe would be an appropriate mechanism to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable.

Kavitha’s demands reflect the growing public concern about the integrity and accountability of large corporations and the need for transparent and effective oversight. A Joint Parliamentary Committee probe would not only serve to address the allegations against the Adani Group, but it would also send a strong message about the government’s commitment to addressing corruption and ensuring the protection of the public’s interests.
