If you are in power, you get the confidence of getting away with any nefarious activity and highhanded behaviour. Power makes you so powerful.
In Telangana, several Telangana Rashtra Samithi public representatives have become monarchs and are indulging in all sorts of corrupt activities besides developing dictatorial attitudes.
The other day, one has seen how the son of a TRS corporator stabbed an employee of a toll gate on Mahbubnagar highway for asking him to pay the toll fee for his vehicle. Thanks to the ruling party support, he could get away.
On Sunday, a TRS legislator Farooq Hussain abused an NRI woman in filthy language and even beat her with a chappal.
The only crime she has done was to ask the MLC to vacate her house, in which he had been staying for years without paying rent.
According to a video clip doing rounds in the media circles. NRI woman Hantul Vyas rented her Nampally home to the TRS MLC six years ago. Since then, he has been paying nominal rent and sometimes did not pay any rent. When she asked him to vacate the house, he asked six-months of time.
On Sunday, the landlord returned from the US and visited then house to claim the rightful rental amount.
Farooq not only threatened her but also refused to vacate the apartment and pay the rent. He used vulgar language and attacked her with his slipper. The woman lodged a complaint in Nampally police station.
The police are investigating the matter without registering the case due to the involvement of the TRS leader.
