Large difference between Pawan and Jagan

People got a chance to see the large difference between YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy and Janasena party president Pawan Kalyan’s behaviours. They both opposed forcible land acquisition from farmers for AP state capital city Amaravati construction. But, they react very differently on the foundation stone laying ceremony of the same. Jagan Mohan Reddy bluntly said that he doesn’t want to attend this state function and also asked the government not to invite him. He also refuses to meet the ministers who went to his Lotus Pond residence for inviting him yesterday. He and his party men are not lifting the phone calls from the ministers, who are trying to contact them for inviting them to this state function. Jagan may have his own reasons for not attending this function, but being the main opposition leader of the state and being native of Andhra Pradesh, it his duty to attend this function, irrespective of his own feelings and rivalry with AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. But, despite being in active politics for last 6-7 years, he proved that he is a very stubborn and politically very immature leader. Although, Pawan Kalyan worked for his brother Praja Rajyam party in the previous elections, his political activities ends with it. Again he launched Janasena party but it is still on the papers and of course in the hearts of his fans. So, he is considered to be hardly have any political experience when compared with Jagan Mohan Reddy. But, the way he decently reacted to the ministers’ invitation to this state function, mesmerizes everyone and proves that he is much better matured politician than Jagan Mohan Reddy. He warmly invited the ministers and congratulated them on this occasion. He wished a wonderful capital city be built for AP state in which everyone lives happily. He said that he is extremely happy for the positive and friendly atmosphere developed between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana state because this function. He honestly told them that he committed for a shooting in Gujarat state on October 22, but still he will definitely try to attend this function, if time permits him. He thanked the ministers and the AP government for inviting him to this function. He admitted that he is not that genius to give advices to the statement government for this function. He wished the function is conducted very smoothly without any problems. This is enough to gauge the large difference between Pawan and Jagan.

The bus belongs to Sri Krishna Travels. Fortunately there are no passengers in the bus otherwise more lives would have lost in this accident. Police and local officials rushed to the spot and shifted the injured to local hospitals. According to preliminary reports the reason for the accident is over speeding of DCM vehicle. The death toll may further rise because many of the injured condition is reported to be very critical. Fire servicemen also rushed to the spot and extinguished the flames but the bus almost turned to ashes buy then.

Jagan refuse to meet TDP Ministers

YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy has already declared that he will not attend the foundation stone laying ceremony of the state capital Amaravati even though AP Government invites him for it. He asked the government not to send any invitations to him for this purpose. However, the ruling TDP ministers stated that they will certainly invite him following the traditions and it is up to him whether to attend the historical event of the state or not. Hence, they have tried to contact him by phone but he did not lift their phone calls. Then they tried to contact his personal secretary, but he also did not lift their phone calls. Then Ministers Ayyanna Patrudu and Dr. Kamineni Srinivas asked for his appointment, but his office staff told them that he is not well and taking rest. So, he do not want to meet anyone now. They reportedly told the ministers that their boss Jagan Mohan Reddy has already told them that they need not to invite him and so they need not to take pains to meet him. This is revealing how peculiar Jagan Mohan Reddy is. He made a terrible mistake by openly announcing that he doesn’t want to attend the state function. It sent a wrong message to people about him and his peculiar behavior. It makes the people believe what TDP leaders and ministers are saying about him is true. They argue that he is opposing construction of capital city Amaravati and is trying to throw wrench in the historical state event. They allege that he turns a wall for development of the state and Jagan proves that their allegations are justified. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s decision may proved suicidal for his political career, if the TDP able to project his peculiar behavior properly. Jagan could avert this ugly situation by simply staying silent and skipping the function after accepting invitation from the government. But, he seems is keen to create an ugly and embarrassing situation to self and to his party as well with his peculiar behavior. Probably, that is why none of his party leaders came out in his support since yesterday afternoon.

In this context, Centre constituted NJAC after getting Parliament approval for it. But, the Supreme Court collegium plainly rejected NJAC replacing the existing collegium system.

Please release them...they are not smugglers: Jaya

The menace of Red Sander smuggling is continuing in the AP state as ever before despite encounter of 20 wood cutters few months ago at Seshachalam forest and regular arrests of smugglers by AP police. AP forest department and police officials are seizing huge quantity of Red Sander logs at regular intervals. Around 500 wood cutters were arrested by them during last few months and cases were booked against them all. But, Tamilnadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha wrote a letter to her counterpart of AP Chandrababu Naidu today, requesting him to release them all. She writes that they are innocent and poor labor working to feed their families. They have nothing to do with smuggling activities or smugglers. Hence, she appeals Chandrababu Naidu to make arrangement for their release from jails. Actually, Jayalalitha was expected to address this menace long ago when 20 wood cutters were encountered in Seshachalam forests. Then she gave some compensation and also government jobs to each member of the deceased families. Later, she ignored this problem although she knows that hundreds of poor labor from her state are indulging in these illegal activities and got arrested by the AP police. Being Chief Minister of a state, she also knows that Red Sander smuggling is a serious offence and it can’t be ignored keeping in view of poor condition of the labor. But, she asks the AP Government to ignore them. Can she allow them to do the same in her Tamilnadu state?

Dance Baby Dance in Maharashtra again

Supreme Court gives clearance to run the dance bars across the Maharashtra state. The apex court has stayed implementation of 2014 amendment of the Maharashtra Police Act that had banned dance bars in the state. Ban on dance bars imposed in 2005 by the then state Home Minister late RR Patil and it was continuing till now. Successive governments including the current BJP-Shivsena government lead by Devendra Fadnavis is also sticks to the ban till date. The dance bars and the dancers associations have been fighting to lift the ban ever since. Finally, today the Supreme Court lifts the decade long ban and gives clearance for running dance bars in the state. Nationalist Congress party spokes person Nawab Malli alleged that Maharashtra government intentionally lets the apex court lift the ban because of collusion between ruling BJP-Shivsena leaders and dance bars owners. Congress spokesperson Anant Gadgil describes it as a failure of statement government in fighting the case in the right manner. Opposition parties demands the statement government to approach the Supreme Court again seeking reconsideration of its ruling given in favor of the dance bars.

HP Chief Minister’s arrest prolonged?

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, who is facing disproportionate assets case, narrowly escaped his arrest by CBI after getting stay order from high court few weeks ago. Hence, the CBI filed a petition in Supreme Court challenging high court’s decision on his arrest. Supreme Court bench lead by Chief Justice HL Dattu takes up the CBI emergency petition on Thursday. In its petition, the CBI appeals the apex court to take up this case for trail on Friday, but the apex bench opined that it is not any emergency case and so asked the CBI to wait until the court reassembles after Dushera holidays. This gives a temporary relief to Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, but the sword is still hanging on his head. If the apex court allows the CBI to arrest him, he has to quit his Chief Minister post. If so, it would create an embarrassing situation for Congress party which is ruling the state. It may also provide a strong weapon to BJP and rival parties in the Bihar Assembly Elections.

I won’t come to foundation ceremony even if invited: Jagan

YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy writes a public letter to AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday. In his letter, he writes that he doesn’t want to attend foundation stone laying function of Amaravati. So he asks Chandrababu not to send any invitation to him and also not to blame him when he boycotts it. He writes several reasons for boycotting this state event. He alleges that government has collected the land from farmers against their consent and using force. He asks why Sec: 30 and 144 are imposed in the capital zone since last one year when the government is claiming that farmers handed over their lands to it voluntarily. He asked why the government is ignoring the court and green tribunal’s orders. He asked why the government is giving contracts to Singapore and other private companies for constructing the capital city, when the Centre is promising to release sufficient funds in time for construction works. He asked why the government is doing real estate business in the lands collected from farmers instead of leaving choice to them and confining itself for construction of essential complexes for Assembly, High court, Secretariat etc. Jagan writes that he did dharnas in protest against all these odd decisions taken by the statement government but it ignores and proceeding ahead for construction of capital city on the very fertile lands, even when the farmers are cursing it. Jagan writes that he will boycott the foundation laying ceremony in protest. However, he made it clear that he is not against construction of capital city.

Government of India also to disclose Netaji confidential Files

West Bengal Government disclosed the confidential files related to veteran freedom fighter Netajee Subhash Chandrababu Naidu Bose few weeks ago. Then, Chief Minister Mamata Benarjee appealed Government of India to disclose remaining files that are under its possession to let the people of the country know the facts about Netajee’s mysterious death. He was reported to be died in plane crash on August 18, 1945. But, some people are arguing that he was jailed by Russian Government and hanged to death. They argue that the first Prime Minister of the country Jawahar Lal Nehru knows about this but not tried for his release fearing he may turn competitor for him. According to recently disclosed files Netajee was not died in the plane crash and was alive till several years after India got freedom in 1947. There were allegations against Nehru government for spying on Netajee’s family members for several years. Netajee’s death mystery can be known only when rest of the confidential files also made public. So, 35 members of his family met Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday and appealed him to disclose the remaining confidential files also. Modi positively responds to them and also had lunch with them. He told them “There is no necessary to conceal the history. Those, who ignore their history can’t create history. My government will scrutinize all files and start disclosing them from January 23rd on the eve of Netajee’s birth anniversary. If necessary, I will write letters to other countries seeking information about Netajee.” Netajee family members are very much pleased with Prime Minister’s positive response.

Jagan may stress PM for special status on 22nd

The suspicions of ruling TDP ministers and their leaders about Jagan Mohan Reddy’s intention of sitting for hunger strike days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Andhra Pradesh are true, proving YSR Congress party. TDP suspects that Jagan Mohan Reddy intentionally chooses this time for his hunger strike to play spoil sport in the historical event of foundation stone laying ceremony and thus to catch the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. YSR Congress party has declared series of programs that starts from today and continues till October 21st demanding special status to Andhra Pradesh. YSR Congress party is also planning to seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi appointment on October 22nd when he comes to lay foundation stone for Amaravati. However, Prime Minister’s schedule was already finalized for his visit to the state. Hence, he may not be able to spare his time for Jagan Mohan Reddy during his visit. Moreover, he may not prefer to meet him as he is creating troubles to his government and to the state government with his agitations. While, entire media is giving a good coverage to this upcoming event, Jagan owned Sakshi media alone is completely avoiding it and is still highlighting his fight for special status. All these things are underlining a point that Jagan Mohan Reddy is desperate to highlight his agitation rather than giving importance to historical event of foundation stone laying ceremony. In other words, he may be opposing this most important ceremony of the state merely because it will be conducted by Chandrababu Naidu, whom he hates very much. Unless, Jagan Mohan Reddy able to overcome his hatred towards him, he can’t see anything positively.

Jagan likely to be discharged today

If he is discharged before 2 pm, then he may lead the rally organized by his party from PWD Grounds to Chief Minister’s camp office in Vijayawada city as a part of their agitation for special status for the state.

Chandrababu appeals Rajnath Singh to resolve nativity issue

AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu today wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh requesting him to resolve nativity issue. In his letter, Chandrababu asked the home minister to amend the article 371 (D) and (E) in the constitution to enable the people, statement government employees and all others, who wants to comes and settles in the state or in the upcoming capital Amaravati treated as natives of AP state.

During his meeting with Rajnath Singh, he may pursue him for amending article 371 (D) and (E) of the constitution. Recently, AP government has issued a G.O. stating that whoever and wherever from comes and settles in AP state before 2017, March 31st will be treated as natives of AP and will be eligible for employment and education like any local people in the state. Government also plans to give some exceptions to statement government employees currently working in Hyderabad. However, unless Section 371 (D) and (E) are amended nativity problem can’t be solved. So, Chandrababu Naidu is appealing the Centre for its amendment.

TRS aims at opposition parties, but hitting at farmers

Telangana Chief Minister KCR actually planned to dissolve the two main opposition parties TDP and Congress parties before next general elections. He is successful to some extent. He attracted several top leaders of both parties by throwing bait to them. But, KCR himself has provided breather to his victims for their survival. His negligent attitude towards a very sensitive issue like farmers’ suicides provides them an opportunity to rejunivate their party cadres from the grass root level with their Raithu Bharosa Yatras. KCR’s decision to suspend opposition parties from the assembly was also proved to be a deadly mistake. It encouraged the opposition parties to unite and make a concentrated attack against him and his government. Both parties have started Raithu Bharosa Yatras soon after they were suspended from the Assembly. But, then again TRS government made another mistake. Instead of summoning an all party meeting to discuss and find ways for this burning problem, Chief Minister KCR asked his party men to strongly react against their Raithu Bharosa Yatras. Hence, his son and the IT Minister KTR compare them as “vultures on search for farmers’ dead bodies.” Chief Minister KCR and his party men may be thinking that they are just attacking opposition parties, but their reactions and statements are sending very wrong messages to the farmers, who are in very desperate situation. They are expecting the government to address their problem, but they find the government is reacting negatively. So, it may provide an opportunity to TDP and Congress parties to become close to farmers in the state.

Police disrupts Jagan’s deeksha

Police disrupts Jagan Mohan Reddy’s six days’ hunger strike on the early hours of Tuesday.

There also, Jagan refuses to take IV fluids, but doctors warned him that if he continue his fasting any longer it will be dangerous to his life. Then also he tried to resist but the doctors administered IV fluids to him by force. Later, they conducted all regular tests and declared that his health condition is stable now. However, he will be kept under observation for next 24 hours in the hospital. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s wife, mother and sister also reached the hospital. With this Jagan Mohan Reddy’s six days’ fight for special status for AP state comes to end as predicted before. However, YSR Congress party leaders vow to continue their fight for special status.
