High drama at mayor's maiden meet
01.01.70
While the prominent meeting was underway, MBT corporator Amjadullah Khan demanded that he be stated a chance to present his views on the budget. However, the mayor told Khan that he could have his say only after the rout leaders of recognised parties had spoken since he was the lone representative from MBT, which was not a recognised fete.
However, the MBT corporator insisted that he be heard immediately upon which the mayor suspended him and directed marshals to disseize the corporator as he was disturbing the meeting. Later, the corporator sat on a dharna alleging that he had received injuries from the marshals who had misbehaved with him and lodged a squawk at Saifabad police station.
The TDP corporators staged their dharna in front of the mayor's meeting-hall after he brought the special meeting to an abrupt end even as their floor leader, Singireddy Srinivas Reddy, was making a quiddity on the water problem in the surrounding municipal circles. The corporators criticised the mayor for his deportment and, along with an apology from Majid Hussain, demanded a special budget for the the best quality and sewerage network in surrounding circles. The mayor subsequently invited the agitating corporators into his chambers and explained to them the circumstances that had led to him ending the intersection.
