Is Pawan Kalyan throwing Challenge to Chiru again?

  Pawan Kalyan’s fans are going to form youth wings across the state. What prompts them to form the youth wings is Chiranjeevi’s fans associations have not bothered to invite them to Mega fans’ associations meeting to be held at Vijayawada or Rajhamundry on September 30th.   Then the question would be why did they ignore Pawan’s fans and who asked them to do so? Obviously, anyone will suspect Chiranjeevi hand behind it because he may be angry with his brother’s political entry that virtually puts an end to his political career. So, he may have asked his fans to ignore Pawan’s fans. So, Pawan’s fans are might be forming these youth wings only to uphold their identity. But, their decision may send wrong message to people. It will be telling the people that Pawan Kalyan is likely to shelve his Janasena party or he is throwing challenge to his elder brother once again through this idea.

BJP indulged in horse trading of AAP MLAs?

  The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which quits the Delhi government on silly reasons hoping to play a larger role in the national politics, has been desperately struggling for a comeback. However, since it does not have sufficient number of MLAs to form the government it is demanding for re-elections for Delhi Assembly. But, the ruling NDA government seems is gearing up to form the government, although it need five more MLAs to for it. Obviously, it will look towards the beleaguered AAP MLAs for support and it makes its leader Arvind Kejriwal fumes upon it. He released a video clipping showing some BJP leaders bargaining with his party MLAs. He warns BJP leadership that he will not allow horse trading of his party MLAs. However, everyone knew that horse trading in politics can’t be stopped as long as there are greedy people peoples’ representatives in the parties.

YCP

YCP divides over state capital issue?

  Except a couple of ruling party leaders, none from TDP have raised any serious objections on the state government’s decision to build state capital near Vijayawada. However, it seems is creating rift within the main opposition party- YSR Congress party leaders.   It is to be noted that while their party president Jagan Mohan Reddy is welcoming state government’s decision to build state capital near Vijayawada, back at home in Rayalaseema, his party leaders have given a Kurnool bandh call after Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu makes an official announcement in the state Assembly in the last week.   YCP MLAs SV Mohan Reddy, Gouru Charitha Reddy, Mani Gandhi and few others from Rayalaseema have criticized those ruling party MLAs and Ministers, who hails from Rayalaseema for supporting government’s decision.   They may not directly point out at their party president Jagan Mohan Reddy, but it is understood they are, because he also hails from Rayalaseema and supported state government’s decision. Hence, it is time for Jagan Mohan Reddy to clarify his party stand on this issue, otherwise it will be understood that they have his nod for agitating on this issue.

ap formation day

When to observe AP State Formation day?

  There was mixed response to the AP State Government’s decision to build the state capital near Vijayawada. It is largely because it doesn’t mind to take opposition parties into consideration while taking the decision. Perhaps, state government may have its own reasons for ignoring opposition parties, but it gives an opportunity to them criticize the government. Next, another issue comes before the government to resolve. It is about when to observe state formation day.   Is it on November 1st as usually or June 2nd on the appointed day when Telangana was separated from residuary AP state? Officials have sent the concerned file to Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to take a decision on this matter. He is expected to take a decision on this matter shortly after consulting his cabinet ministers.Any delay in taking decision may again lead to fresh controversy.

AP government to clear crop loans in phases

  AP government, which is determined to implement its crop loans waiver promise has decided to clear the loans in phases due to financial limitations, beginning from end of September or in mid-October. This decision was taken in the funds mobilizing committee meeting chaired by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu at his camp office in Lake House guest house on yesterday evening. Committee Chairman Sujana Chowdary and others have participated in this meeting. They have identified some resources for generating funds for this crop loans waiver issue and discussed measures to be taken to tap the funds from them.   It was decided in the meeting that, government will clear crop loans between Rs.7000-10,000 crores during the first phase beginning with the poor farmers. State government has allocated Rs.5000 crores in its budget for this purpose and is expecting another Rs.8,000-10,000 crores from the auction of Red Sandal lying in its possession.   If government could start implementing this promise that brings it into power, it may prove a blow to Congress and YSR Congres parties, which are arguing the government is not honest with its promise on this issue and is trying to escape from it.

Ponnala argues KCR feeling insecure!

  Political parties in Telangana are introducing new theories to the voters of Medak district to win Loksabha by-elections. Telangana PCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah, who fails to lead the party to success in the general elections, is leading it in these by-elections also. He comes-up with a new theory on Telangana Chief Minister KCR’s operation-akarsha intended to attract the opposition parties’ leaders into TRS.   Speaking at an election campaigning meeting, he said “I think CM KCR is feeling quite insecure and having sleepless nights fearing his government may collapse anytime. So, is he encouraging the other parties’ leaders and MLAs to join his TRS party?”   His discovery about KCR’s insecure feeling may be very interesting to hear, but people of Telangana may not buy it anyway, because CM KCR looks more confident than before and taking concrete decisions ignoring the opposition parties’ hue and cry. So, Ponnala better stick to their ‘Congress fought for Telangana, achieved Telangana’ slogan with which he may impress the people of Medak district.

high court

Arrange separate High Court for AP: CM KCR

  Few days back, a Telangana Minister demands for separate High Court for AP to avert disputes between advocates of two states. As if endorsing his statement, Telangana Chief Minister KCR, who met Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad yesterday, asked him to arrange separate High Court to AP state. He assured the minister that there are sufficient space and buildings in Hyderabad and his government is ready to allot them, if Centre agrees to arrange separate High Court for Andhra Pradesh state.   Law Minister positively responded to his appeal. He told the Chief Minister that Centre will take this to the notice of new Chief Justice of India, who will take charge on September 27th and resolve this issue. AP government, which is ready to move out from Hyderabad at the earliest, has not made-up its mind on where to set-up the High Court in the AP state, although Shivarama Krishnan committee has recommends it at Vizag. So, the state High Court has to be run in Hyderabad only until a permanent complex is built somewhere in AP state.

MRPS fumes on Raghuveera Reddy

  MRPS AP state president P Venkateswara rao spits fire on APPCC President Raghuveera Reddy for fielding his party candidate in the Nandigama by-elections that necessitated with the death of TDP MLA Tangirala Prabhakar rao. He said “Congress has been trying to revive its position in the state by contesting in these by-elections. While other parties are staying away from these by-elections in support of TDP candidate Soumya daughter of late Prabhakar rao, Congress alone is fielding its candidate against her. We will not let Raghuveera Reddy step into Nandigama, because he reveals that he has no respect for backward classes.   To be frank, AP PCC believes that this is a good opportunity to gauge the public mood that is very negative towards Congress party. If, Congress wins the elections, it can claim that people are not happy with ruling TDP government’s ruling, otherwise it will lose nothing but a small defeat. However, it can get the feedback about peoples’ mood about it.

Vijayawada! It is Ok for me: Botsa

   Former PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana, who just few days ago criticized the state government stating that it is preferring Vijayawada for capital only to benefit TDP leaders who have heavily invested on the lands around there. However, today he welcomed the state government’s decision. But, he find fault with ruling TDP for not allowing a debate in the Assembly and for not consulting the opposition parties to discuss this matter.   Of course, state government should have consulted the opposition parties and take their views before announcing its decision, just like the way UPA government did while dividing the state. But state government ignored their pleas as it believes will further complicate the issue.

political parties

Time to remind Centre about its promises ?

  People of AP state are witnessing political parties in the state are crossing swords over state capital issue, even after state government has taken a final decision on this issue two days ago. It can be justified people of Rayalaseema are protesting government decision, but not the political parties, because there is large difference on their concepts.   Rayalaseema people are demanding the state government to build the capital at Kurnool. They start protesting when the government ignores their pleas. Hence, their anguish and protests can be justified. But, the two main opposition parties Congress and YSR Congress parties, which do not want to spell their stand on this issue, are blaming state government for not consulting them and for not conducting a debate on this issue. Their demand for a debate on the issue can be justified if they would have spells their stand, but not when they want to gain some political mileage out of it.   YCP obstructs the house proceedings demanding a debate on this issue but later welcomed the state government’s decision. It is interesting to know that it gave a bandh call at Kurnool, while their leader is welcoming state government’s decision to build the state capital at Vijayawada. People of the state would appreciate ruling and opposition parties if they both collectively put pressure on the Centre for early release of funds for constructing the state capital and for other promises made in the AP Reorganization Bill-2014, instead of quarrelling with other to gain political mileage out of this issue.

TRS, BJP leaves Congress behind in Medak By-Poll

  Political parties’ strategies to win the Medak Loksabha by-elections are quite interesting. Actually, every one believed that the main fight would be between ruling TRS and Congress parties, because BJP candidate Jagga Reddy has several drawbacks. But, it is interesting to see TRS is considering Jagga Reddy as its main rival instead of Congress candidate Sunitha Lakshma Reddy, who is predicted fighting for second place after TRS in the by-elections.   Hence, TRS and BJP are crossing swords, ignoring Congress candidate. TRS adopts the same policy that was proved very successful for it in the general elections. It tags Jagga Reddy as Telangana betrayer and backed by Andhra leaders. It reminds his arguments opposing Telangana state creation and his association with Pawan Kalyan and Chandrababu Naidu to highlight its point.   BJP also adopts the same policy that it used in the general elections, but proved unsuccessful. It links TRS party with MIM and argues that voting to TRS candidate is voting to MIM party. BJP Telangana president Kishan Reddy speaking at a elections campaigning meeting held at Siddipeta yesterday reminds the people how the state Congress government was used to dance to the tunes of MIM in the past and asked the people not to let MIM take a ride on TRS government. He demands the state government that to conduct ‘Telangana freedom day’ in Golkonda Fort to prove that it is not surrendered to MIM.   However, people of Telangana are aware that Kishan Reddy’s arguments are not worth considering, because Telangana Chief Minister KCR won’t let drive his TRS car sitting in the back seat. Comparatively TRS arguments have the edge over BJP’s arguments and also may effectively influence the voters.

BJP keen to form Delhi government

  Once again, Delhi state government came into focus after Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung has sent a note to President Pranab Mukharji asking permission to invite the single largest party-BJP to form the government at Delhi. Nevertheless, he is reported to be initiated this move upon ruling NDA government’s instructions.   BJP believes has 28 MLA seats out of 72 seats in the Delhi state Assembly. It is quite confident to bag the support of five MLAs, but not discloses who and from which party they are. Congress and Aam Admi parties cry foul on BJP’s move and demanding for fresh elections. Aam Admi party is arguing that BJP is indulged in horse trading of its MLAs and is encouraging them to jump the wall.

Compulsory-Education in Telangana

  On the eve of Teachers Day today, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar rao addressing the teachers at Hyderabad said that his government is gearing up to implement compulsory education to all the kids in Telangana from next year onwards. He said the government couldn’t start this program from the current year, because it need thorough discussions with educationalists and elaborate arrangements like setting-up new schools in the remote villages. He said that his government is also going to open government English medium schools across the state to make the next generation kids ready to face the world. The other intention is many students, who can’t afford to study in English convents can study here without any fees.

Chicago Model Capital for AP

  AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and his team of ministers have been telling the people that they will recreate Singapore model capital city for the state at Vijayawada. The advisory committee formed for this purpose, even planned to visit Singapore, Malaysia and some cities in India for a study on the capital model and design. TDP MLA Gadde Ram Mohan said CM Chandrababu Naidu is considering ‘River view capital’ now.   According to him, the new capital will be built on both sides facing Krishna River and several bridges will be built across the river for connecting the capital city. The latest news is an American consultancy service company has proposed Chicago model capital on both sides of Krishna River. Company representatives have given power presentation to Chandrababu Naidu on this capital model. According to them, huge 45 storied buildings will be built on both sides facing the river. The buildings will be built in such a design that from the aerial view they will appear as letters ‘NTR.’ The consultancy company has proposed 45 storied building keeping in view of scarcity for the land across the river banks. However, Chandrababu Naidu has not taken any decision over this proposal.

Telangana government not approached us for help: Centre

   Perhaps, Minister of State for Power and Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal’s remarks made against Telangana CM KCR has had its effect on KCR. Goyal said, “Although, Centre is ready to help the states, some states and their Chief Ministers’ are not showing any interest to take our help. No one from Telangana government has consulted us seeking our assistance to overcome the power crisis situation in Telangana state.”   Even people of Telangana also believe the same. KCR or any of his ministers have not approached any Union Minister so far seeking Centre’s assistance for the development of the state.   Hence, CM KCR is leaving for New Delhi today on a two-day visit. He will meet Power and Energy Minister Piyush Goyal and several other union ministers during these two days. He may ask additional power supply from Central Grid and also put several proposals like laying new transmission lines, setting-up new power plant, solar plants and wind mills etc. KCR is said to be got Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appointment for tomorrow 11.30 am.

Rahul Gandhi finds fault with Modi drum beating

  Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, who is expected to take charge as Prime Minister of the country has become political un-employee, after his Congress party was defeated in the recent general elections. So, he takes a nap in the Loksabha back benches or occasional visit his Amethi as if to remind the people there that he is their representative in the Loksabha, otherwise there is no reason to visit there.   During his recent visit to Amethi, he criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for beating the drums in Japan. He said “Modi made so many tall promises to come to power. But, his government did not start working even after three months. He is beating drums, while back at home people are suffering with power crisis and steep price rise of vegetables. If, Modi has forgotten his tall promises, I am here to remind him. He promised to bring down the prices very shortly, but he couldn’t. So, I suggest him that it is time for him to start working for the people of the country.”   Rahul’s remarks are revealing his immaturity. Unlike previous Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, who is used to remotely operate by Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is making dent on foreign affairs. While entire world is amused with Modi’s hidden artistic skills, Rahul Gandhi alone found fault with it. Rahul Gandhi, who can’t even lead handful MPs in the Loksabha, should realize that he is criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is leading 125 crores people of the country.
