Jagan reacts on World Bank ranking to AP

  People of the AP state may be quite pleased to hear the World Bank granting second place to the state in the country for ease of doing business. Obviously, the credit is attributed to Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who made this possible despite all odds. But, the main opposition leader of the state Jagan Mohan Reddy argues that Chandrababu Naidu is bluffing the people. He is boasting that the World Bank gave this ranking after seeing his government’s efficiency.   Speaking to students at Port Stadium at Vizag on Tuesday Jagan Mohan Reddy said “It is a fine example to understand how Chandrababu Naidu bluffs the people. World Bank decides ranks to the states based on the information given by the governments about various measures taken by them in labor reforms. Based on the reports submitted by the representatives of World Bank, Central Industries Ministry and CII, World Bank decides the ranks for the states. Generally, Chief Ministers of other states hesitate to sign the questionnaire submitted by the representatives. But, Chandrababu Naidu has signed it with his both hands. So, the World Bank grants second rank to AP state. Chandrababu Naidu is claiming that World Bank has given second rank to the state seeing his government’s efficiency,” said Jagan Mohan Reddy.

High court resolves 1200 elec. Employees problems

  Finally, the high court has resolved the problem of 1200 electrical employees who were relieved by Telangana GenCo and other Electrical departments of Telangana state few months ago. They have been facing severe financial problems since last few months as they were not paid salaries by either government after relieved from duties.   The high court gave its verdict today on this sensitive issue. It stated that they belong to Telangana government and so they should be taken back into their duties immediately. However, it orders the AP and the Telangana governments to pay their salaries including their dues in 58:42 ratio. It asks both governments to implement this method of payment till further orders.   But, the Telangana government may challenge its verdict in the Supreme Court as it is reluctant to have employees with Andhra origins in any of its offices. If, the Telangana it plans to challenge the high court verdict in the Supreme Court, then it may refuse to pay their salaries also. AP government also may hesitate to take their burden as it may encourage the Telangana government to force it to apply the same yard stick to rest of the employees also. Hence, the fate of 1200 employees may hang in the air unless both governments agree to abide by the high court verdict.

Currently, unrest prevails in Nepal but the situation is under control. Nepal political parties believe that the new constitution will help to stabilize the political situation in the country, if strictly implemented.

Regular classes of IIM-Visakha begins from 26th

  Few months ago, Union HRD Minister Smrithi Irani has laid foundation stone for IIM-Visakhapatnam at Gambheeram village located in the outskirts of the city.

Shivsena gives shock to BJP!

  BJP and Shivsena parties are allies and also partners in Maharashtra government. But, Shivsena gives a terrible shock to BJP. Its official spokesperson Sanjay Routh has declared that Shivsena also will contest for 150 seats in upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.   This would be really a big shock for BJP because it considers these elections are very crucial for it. Shivsena’s entry will divide the already-divided-Hindu-vote bank and may affect BJP’s electoral chances to some extent. Hence, BJP high command is reportedly asked its Maharashtra leaders to talk with Shivsena party.   However, Shivsena’s decision to contest in Bihar elections could be apparently a wrong decision, because Shivsena has been troubling Bihari people working in Maharashtra especially in Mumbai. Several times, Shivsena workers have attacked Bihari people working in Mumbai. It not even wants them to perform their traditional ‘Chat Pooja.’   Obviously, Bihari people dislike it very much for its rude approach towards them. Hence, Shivsena cannot expect any votes for it in the upcoming elections. If BJP manages to strike a deal with it and contest elections together, then BJP also may suffer badly because of its negative impression among the people. Whether BJP and Shivsena join hands in these elections are not, obviously remaining political parties and alliance groups may highlight Shivsena’s communal and anti-Bihari stands in the elections. So, BJP may stay away from it in the elections, if it fails to stop it from contesting the elections.

Why did Congress party bring Sailajanath to forward position?

  Whoever leaving the Congress party in the AP state are saying that they are very much disappointed to see the party situation is worsening despite severe efforts. They predict that it may take at least a decade time for Congress to retain its position.   However, whoever still clings to the Congress party is doing their bit of job to win the hearts of the people. Evidently, they found special status issue as the savior of the party. Hence, they are agitating for it hoping one day the hearts of the people start melting for the Congress party. After taking a month long interval, Congress leaders have come-up with a new idea of sending 1 crore SMS messages to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Ministers, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his ministers insisting for special status to the Andhra Pradesh state.   Former minister Sailajanath, who until now was seems to be in sleep-mode becomes active again and shoulders the responsibility of making this SMS program a grand success. He said that he will start this program at Visakhapatnam on September 23rd. He appeals the students to co-operate with his party in making this program grand success.   Evidently, PCC President Raghuveera Reddy appears to be entrusted him this task as he knows that Sailajanath earns some good name for his fierce fight against bifurcation of the state. Sailajanath is trying to involve the students in this program in a bid to bring them close to his party. If, they react positively, then the Congress party may come-up with such plans again to get their support to the party.   Congress party may be agitating for special status but basically it is fighting to win the hearts of the people and to retain its position in the state. Once, it retains its position then once again it indulges with its dirty political games that people have been seeing since many decades.

Better to accept Special package: JC

  Earlier, TDP MP JC Diwakar Reddy plainly declared that the Centre will not grant special status to Andhra Pradesh state. Once again, he reiterates his statement and said that the state can be developed even with the special financial package. He said Centre is ready to grant financial package for the state.   JC said “Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is putting lots of efforts to resolve all the problems that the state is facing post-bifurcation. However all the problems can’t be resolved overnight. It may take a couple of years to resolve. YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy is agitating for special status merely to keep his party intact and to win the hearts of people. Congress party is also agitating for same reasons. But, Centre will not grant special status to the AP state. Hence, it is wise to accept special financial package offered by the Centre and develop the state instead of wasting time on special status.

ED files case against R’ Vadra?

  Often, Robert Vadra’s name surfaces in the media for wrong reasons. Once again he came into media focus when Enforcement Directorate has filed a money laundering case against a firm that is allegedly linked to him. The firm allegedly involved in a land grabbing case at Bikaner in Rajasthan.   Rajasthan Government has cancelled the transfer of 374.44 hectares of land to the firm after the concerned department of the state found irregularities in the deal. Taking cognizance of the media reports ED has registered a case against the firm. Although, it has not mentioned Robert Vadra’s name in the FIR, evidently the case will lead to his door step.   ED may summon many officials of statement government and persons of the firm for questioning. Congress sharply reacts on ED’s move. Congress party’s spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed describes the move as politically motivated to defame Sonia Gandhi family members.

Opposition parties cry foul on removing voters’ names in GHMC limits

  Earlier, TDP and BJP of Telangana state have lodged a complaint with state chief election officer Banwar Lal about removing around 13 lakh voters’ names from the voters’ lists in Grater Hyderabad limits by the TRS government. Now, Congress party also makes similar complaint against the TRS government. State PCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy alleges that TRS government is planning to remove nearly 17 lakh voters’ names from the voters’ lists in GHMC limits, mainly of people with Andhra origins.   The statement government is gearing to remove nearly 30, 000 voters’ names from the lists in Sanath Nagar constituency alone, alleges Uttam Kumar Reddy. He alleges that the TRS government is reorganizing the wards in such a way that it can win the GHMC elections.   He said GHMC Commissioner Somesh Kumar is working like a TRS agent in removing the voters’ lists. Uttam Kumar Reddy asked the Elections Officer to take stringent action against him and the TRS government for taking liberty in removing voters’ names from the lists without its knowledge or permission.

TRS Government asks Gadkari postpone visit to Warangal?

  BJP Telangana state president Kishan Reddy alleges that the TRS government has intentionally asked Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to postpone his proposed visit to Warangal taking excuse of Chief Minister KCR’s China visit. Minister Gadkari was set to visit Telangana on September 5th to lay the foundation stone for the widening of the Yadagirigutta and Warangal highway and to inaugurate a bridge at Eturinagaaram.   He said the TRS government wrote a letter asking him to postpone his visit to Warangal keeping in view of busy schedule of Chief Minister KCR ahead of his China tour. But, Kishan Reddy argues that TRS government doesn’t want Minister Gadkari to launch any development activities ahead of Warangal bye-elections. The highway widening works is expected to be carried out by the government of India with an estimated cost of Rs. 1, 900 crores. TRS fearing that if the works begin ahead of the bye-elections then it may influence the people of the district. Hence, the TRS Government made the Union Minister postpone his visit to Warangal. But, holding or prolonging development activities with any kind of political motivations is mere injustice to the people, opined Kishan Reddy.

WB government declassifies Netajee files

  West Bengal government has declassified 64 files containing 12,744 pages related to veteran freedom fighter and founder of Ajad Hind Fouz-Netajee Subhas Chandrababu Naidu Bose on Friday. All the files were made available in a set of 7 DVDs. The original files are preserved at Calcutta Police Museum. All these files are accessible for common public from Monday onwards.   Speaking on this occasion, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Benerjee said “I have gone through those files and understood that he was alive after his disappearance in 1945. I am shocked to know that his family was under surveillance for many years in the independent India. It was really very unfortunate. A great leader like Netajee doesn’t receive his due honors instead his family was snooped by the government. I appeal the central government to declassify remaining files that were in its possession so as people of the country could know the facts about the noble man.”
