Two trains derailed in MP and fall into river in MP

  Two trains derailed and fall into Machak River in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday night around 11.45 PM. This accident take place between Khirkiya and Harda Railway stations in Harda district in the state.   Kamayani Express heading to Varanasi originated from Mumbai derailed when crossing the river. Engine and six compartments fall down into the river. Within minutes, Janata Express heading to Mumbai originated from Jabalpur also enters the same railway bridge from other side and derailed at the same spot. Five compartments along with engine fall down into the river.   Both trains are running to their full capacity. Hence the death toll would be very high and can’t be predicted until the relief operations are completed. Railway relief teams, local police and local people are taking part in relief and rescue operations since yesterday mid-night until now.Twelve passengers were killed and 25 are seriously injured in this mishap. So far, 300 passengers were rescued and have been shifted to local hospitals.   The reason for this accident is the sand and metal filled under railway tracks was washed out when Machak River flows over the track. However, the local railway staff and officials’ need to be blamed and made accountable for this accident as they could prevent this if they allowed the trains only after thoroughly inspecting the railway tracks on the bridge. If, they would have stopped the trains in-time or even if diverted them to some other route this disaster wouldn’t happened. But, they woke up and diverting the other trains only after two trains fell down into river and several people killed. Several trains bound to Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab either cancelled or been diverted now.

Venkaiah hosting all-party MPs meeting

  Almost two weeks were over but no business was conducted until now in the current Parliament sessions. It is because Congress and its alliance partners are not letting both houses to function. They stall the Parliament proceedings demanding resignations of Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundar Raje in Lalit Modi case and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivaraj Singh Chouhan in connection with Vyapam case. However, when the Modi government is not succumbing to their pressures, they keep disrupting the proceedings in both houses.   Hence, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu has summoned an all-party meeting to resolve this problem. Currently, the meeting is going on in the Parliament central hall. Sushma Swaraj stated that she has not asked Britain Government to help Lalit Modi in getting a visa. But, Congress party is not ready to buy her arguments. Venkaiah Naidu assured the opposition MPs that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will respond to their questions on these two matters, if they allow the house proceedings.   But, Congress party is unlikely to co-operate with the ruling NDA government if seen in the context of its MP Shashi Tharoor’s statement made when current sessions of the Parliament begins. He disclosed that his Congress party adopted a strategy of disrupting the Parliament proceedings in the present sessions. Party president Sonia Gandhi scolded him for disclosing party strategy to media. Hence, even the ongoing all-party meeting also may not find a solution to this stalemate.

Why are they insisting Pawan Kalyan to lead them?

  It would be very interesting to hear the most senior politicians in the state Rayapati Sambhasiva Rao and JC Diwakar Reddy expressing readiness to work under the leadership of Janasena President Pawan Kalyan to achieve special status for Andhra Pradesh state.   Actually, being senior leaders they should lead the others including the opposition parties to achieve this task, but they are ready to follow Pawan Kalyan, who is not sure about his political entry yet. Actor Shivaji, who has been elected as president of ‘Pratyeka Hodha Sadhana Samithi’ is also demanding Pawan Kalyan to take initiative to launch a fight for special status. He is assuring that people of the state are ready to follow him.   It is very funny to hear all these people insisting Pawan Kalyan to lead them, who is playing a guest politician role ever since he floated his Janasena party. Perhaps, Rayapati and JC Diwakar Reddy may want to prove that he also can do nothing in this matter.   Shivaji may be expecting that Pawan Kalyan can mobilize his fans to intensify their fight for this cause. He may be expecting that Pawan Kalyan can easily convince Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he closely worked with him during elections campaigning last year. However, he is forgetting a point that Pawan Kalyan not even minds to reply to his appeal for support to his fight for special status, when he sat for indefinite hunger strike a couple of months ago. Pawan Kalyan may ignore his pleas because he may not want to spoil his relation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Hence, Shivaji or Rayapati or whoever else can’t expect him to lead their fight for special status.

Botsa too ready to fight for special status!!!

  People of Andhra Pradesh state know who is responsible for this present miserable situation of the state and whom to make accountable for it. So, they wiped out Congress party in the elections. Its leaders also have jumped out of it before and after the general elections, knowing that there is no future for Congress party in the state.   Botsa Satyanarayana, who enjoyed power and top posts during his stay in the Congress party also jumped out for the same reasons. Perhaps, he is the only one political leader in the AP state government, who faces fury of the people, particularly people of his native Vizianagaram district for his greedy political interests. Ever since, he was stripped off his PCC Preside post, he has been searching for a political asylum, but never seriously fights for special status. Later, he joined YSR Congress party only because he is left with no other option, otherwise he would be in BJP now.   The same person is now asking all political parties of the state to join their one day- dharna to be staged by his party president Jagan Mohan Reddy at New Delhi on August 10th. He asked Janasena president Pawan Kalyan to spell whether he is keen to fight for the special status along with the opposition parties or would like to cling to ruling TDP and BJP. But, people of the state are aware that it is Pawan Kalyan, who insisted the MPs of the state to launch a fight for special status but not Botsa Satyanarayana. But, now Botsa Satyanarayana wants the people of the state to believe that he is honestly fighting for special status.
