Hyderabad: Police in Telangana booked 53 BJP workers for the attack on the residence of a TRS lawmaker following his remarks on the Ram temple even as the war of words between leaders of the two parties intensified on Monday.
Police in Hanamkonda in Warangal district arrested 39 of the accused and produced them before a magistrate, who sent them to 14 days judicial custody. They were subsequently sent to the Warangal Central Jail.
Police said 14 others involved in the attack were absconding.
Tough task
It was not easy for GHMC authorities to arrive at the number of ex-officio members eligible to vote for the election of Mayor and Deputy Mayor in the newly-elected civic body.
The identification of ex-officio members became complicated as it had to be verified whether the legislators and MPs, who constitute them, were on the electoral rolls of GHMC and participated in the election of chairmen of other municipalities. The first factor was easy to scan but the latter took considerable time.
In instances featuring ministers P. Sabita Indra Reddy, Ch. Malla Reddy and some others, they were found to be ineligible to vote though their names figure in rolls because they had already exercised their right in some other municipality. The same was the case with Congress MP A. Revanth Reddy. But, in case of Minister Satyavathi Rathod, she was found eligible though she had nothing to do with GHMC.

The exponent of Ghusadi dance is the sole Padma Shri recipient from Telangana
Kanaka Raju is a short wispy thin man, with a pencil moustache, a mischievous smile and a pair of feet meant for dancing.
The man from Marlavai village in Asifabad district is the sole winner of Padma Shri from Telangana and he basks in the limelight that comes with the recognition. Friends, relatives and officials pass their cellphones to him as he patiently repeats his story about how he captured the attention of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the nation in early 80s.
