Whenever TDP leaders visited Governor Narasimhan over the implementation of section 8 in Hyderabad, he used to take representations from them but there would be no further action on the matter. This gave rise to the allegation that the Governor was pro-TRS.
But when T-Congress leaders visited him demanding section 8 after they were attacked in Old City by the Owaisi brothers, the Governor immediately summoned Hyderabad Police Commissioner Mahender Reddy and took stock of the situation.
Following this, cases were booked against the Owaisi brothers and MIM cadre. But for the Governor, it is highly unlikely that the TRS would have taken even this minimum action against the MIM with whom they have an electoral understanding.
But the response of the Governor on the different occasions is interesting. He was quick to act no whereas he was always lukewarm to the TDP.
Probably because there was no reported case of violence against the TDP cadre or leaders then.
