tdp leader yerapatineni srinivasa rao

Who are culprits and who are victims?

              TDP Gurajala MLA Yarapatineni Srinivasa rao, who went underground, has been arrested by Gurajala Police today. He was wanted by the police in connection with the alleged murder of Piduguralla Congress leader Narendra. Police who slaps two non bailable arrest warrants have some how caught him and presented him before Pidugurall Magistrate court today. He was given 14 days judicial remand and was shifted to Guntur jail in the morning. TDP gave a call for bandh in Gurajala today.   If, we closely watch the three incidents that takes place during the last few weeks they make us believe either the TDP leaders were indulged in group wars with their rivals or Congress party is strategically closing-in on its rival TDP leaders as a measure to weaken the party base before it goes for the elections.   Firstly, Police arrests former home minister Kodela Shiva Prasad rao on not-so-serious issues. Then we have seen Paritala Sriram’s case. He was booked under murder charges of Congress leader Sudhakar. However, Sudhakar has made it clear that he neither he have any rivalry with Paritala family nor he lodged any complaint against anyone in this case. Then comes, TDP Gurajala MLA Yarapatineni Srinivasa rao’s arrest. He was also framed with murder charges of Congress leader Narendra in Gurajala in Guntur. Though it appears a coincidence, all the three accused in these cases were TDP leaders and Congress party was standing on the other side.   If, the TDP leaders or its cadre really involves in such serious crimes, certainly it would be a big blow for the party. If, the courts give a clean chit to the accused, then it is understood that Congress hand in the glove. In such case, TDP has to be more alert with Congress in the days to come.

Later, he will begin the first day of his pada-yatra in Kammam district. Party leaders have made elaborate arrangements for the inauguration of the pylon by Chandrababu.   The leaders in the district have decided to take full mileage of their party president Chandrababu’s pada-yatra in the district.

Lokesh too plans active participation

  Lokesh, the youth icon of Telugudesam Party is also all set to participate in party programs very soon. According to latest information, he is going to start pada-yatra or a tour on vehicle from Guntur district after Pongal festival this month.   It is learnt that TDP has already chalked out a route map for him, which covers several constituencies between Guntur and East Godavari districts. The party believes that the four districts need some boosting from the party high command and thinks that Lokesh should be given this task. More over, the party opines that it will help Lokesh to interact with people while getting familiar with them. Most probably TDP may announce the root map and the schedule of his program within this week.   On the other end, Nandamuri Balakrishna is also formally beginning his political activities from January 14th at Punganoor in Chittur district, where he will unveil the statues of late NTR and Ramakrishna Reddy. He is also going to induct some Congress party leaders and their followers, who are keen to join TDP on the same day. However, he may begin full fledged activities either from January end or from the first week of February, as per the program decided by the party management.   Jr.NTR is also keen to take active part in party programs but couldn’t because of his fixed film shootings schedule. However, he may take a break and join Chandrababu Naidu and Lokesh, after completing his present commitments in the industry. Nandamuri Harikrishna is said to be waiting for the party nod to go ahead into the field. It appears TDP is gearing-up to face the elections from now onwards.

Why, Seemandra and T leaders crossing swords?

                    Although, the Congress party has not opens its mind over division of the state until now, both Telangana and Seemandhra leaders crossing the swords with provocative speeches over probable out come of the Center’s decision.   While leaders like Lagadapati are so sure of the Center’s decision is challenging to quit the politics if the state is separated, their counterparts in Telangana speaks condemning any packages, Telangana without Hyderabad, or sharing capital. Both the sides were so sure of their stand as if they have been regularly updated by the congress high command about the minutes of the core committee meetings.   In a recent statement given by TRS leader Harish rao indicates that Congress is planning for division of the state but wants the Telangana people to share the capital Hyderabad with Seemandhra, for which he opposed.   Congress Minister Sarvey Satyanarayana asserts that the Congress party will take care of the security of the Seemandhra people, their properties and their businesses in Telangana region, when Telangana state is carved soon. Another leader, Nayini Narasimha Reddy has warned the center not to play tricks while carving the Telangana state.   All this leaves an impression that leaders of both sides are trying to pressurize the Center for taking stand in their favor, while revealing their fears about their rivals’ influence on Center’s decision. In other words, all these leaders want to frighten the Center not to take any negative decision on their demand. But, these ideas obviously encourage the Congress party to prolong the issue further and going to complicate.

power tariff

Ministers oppose power tariff hike

  While, the political parties in the state hits the roads protesting against the recent hike in power tariff, some ministers in the congress government openly express their anguish and unhappiness for the hike.   Endowment Minister Rama Chandrayya has written a letter to PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana, expressing his unhappiness on this decision. He also warns him that it will affect the party in upcoming elections.   MP Palwai Govardhan Reddy also opines that CM’s decision is going to leave its adverse affects on the party in the upcoming elections.   Health Minister DL Ravindra Reddy, who often grabs a chance like this to poke Kiran Kumar Reddy states that he agrees with Rama Chandrayya’s letter written to CM. He said increasing power tariff is not the only solution to over come the problems. He said being worked as Power Minister in the past he very well knows there are so many options other than increasing the tariff. Flaying CM’s decision he said “Instead of taking individual decision, he would have called for cabinet meeting to find an amicable solution.” Further he reminds CM that, the Congress party has owed in its 2009 election manifesto that it won’t increase the power tariff in the next five years. DL opines that this would be one of the many reasons that may going to effect the party in the upcoming elections.   However DL Ravindra Reddy has made it a point that, CM takes the cabinet for granted while taking issues like this but summons the cabinet to make it accountable for corrupt cases like Minister Dharmana Prasada rao’s.
