Will reopen Adarsh Scam file again:Fadnavis

  The newly sworn in Maharashtra state Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in his recent interview given to media said that he will reopen all the scam cases including Adarsh Housing scam that involves four former Chief Ministers of the state (including former Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde) nine top bureaucrats (including former Indian diplomat Devayani Khobragade) and several government officials. He said whoever found involved in it will be brought to book.   He said that he will also open the irrigation scam in which NCP leader Ajit Pawar is reportedly involved, even though NCP is supporting his government from outside. He said “My actions will speak louder than my words. Nothing will stop me, neither outside support nor abstention. I will do whatever I can do legally. My bosses will never restrain me from acting.”   Responding to another question, he said that he will review all the decisions taken by previous government in the recent past and if anything found wrong will stay it.   About bifurcation demand of Vidarbha from Maharashtra, he said “The way Congress splits the AP state is not appreciable. Our party thinks about creating smaller states only if its helpful to both state for socio-economic development. We can’t consider emotional issues as a strong reason for division of the state.”

TDP MLCs passes resolution merging TDP with TRS!!!

  Five TDP MLCs from Telangana has passed a resolution merging TDP with TRS party. They met Telangana Counsel Chairman Swami Goud and handed over a copy of their resolution recommending merger. Later, speaking to media MLC Balasani Lakshmi Narayana said “We have all rights to pass the resolution and recommend the Chairman to endorse our recommendation.” Besides him, MLCs Saleem, Gangadhar Goud, Narendar Reddy, B Venkateswarulu have signed the resolution. TDP and TRS yet to react on this development.

Modi and KCR can be measured with same yard stick?

  Narendra Modi often asks Congress party one question. “How did you expect me to complete the tasks in just five months that you fail to complete in 60 years?” He also argues that Congress party that never been accountable to people for its ruling, has no right to demand him to submit account for his five months ruling. He asks the people to believe him that he will do miracles in the coming five years and people of the country believe that he is capable to do it.   So, Telangana CM KCR also is trying the same idea to defend himself from opposition attacks. He is now asking TDP and Congress parties the same questions and seeks two to three years’ time resolve the power and water issues in the state. He expects the way people of the country entrust their faith in Modi, Telangana people also entrust their faith in him. Will they or not?

15 days remand to Bhuma Nagireddy

  YSR party Nandyala MLA Bhuma Nagireddy, who went underground after hearing two cases were filed against him by the police, later surrenders before police. He alleges that police have filed false cases against him for speaking on behalf of people. He said “I am ready to face any number of cases for the people. I am surrendering before the police respecting our law of the land.” Later, when the police produced him before the court, it sent him to jail on 15 days remand. The court orders the police to conduct a medical check-up to him before as he complains not feeling well.

We can face challenges and stand up again: Babu

  AP CM Chandrababu Naidu said “Apart from the issues aroused out of bifurcation, we are also forced to face problems with Telangana government. Telangana CM KCR also agreed that AP state has to face lot of challenges, but he is not at all co-operating with us. I proposed him to work together for development of both states, but he is always seen in fighting mood. Hence, problems are multiplying with each passing day. It seems we have face challenges from Telangana government also. The Hudhud cyclone also left a fatal blow on our state economy. But, I am sure we can face all these challenges and stand-up again very soon.”   Chandrababu Naidu’s this kind of positive thinking makes the people of the state also very confident of their future. Their positive attitude is the first step for development. The way he managed the relief operations after Hudhud cyclone, stands a testimony for his efficiency and management skills. Perhaps, businessmen and industrialists also noted this point.

Rahul should take party reins: Digvijay

  Earlier, there were demands from some Congress leaders asking Rahul Gandhi to step down from his vice president post owing moral responsibility for the party defeat in the elections. But, now party general secretary Digvijay Singh asks him to take party reins from his mother and reorganize the party. He argues that Rahul should to take charge ignoring the party defeat in the recent elections as it’s quite common in democracy for any party.   He said slump in the political parties is very common and Rahul should realize that Congress is no exception to it. Elections for Congress party president post will be held in the next year. So, it seems he is trying to boost his spirits from now onwards, so as he may get prepared to claim the top post in the party by then.   But, Rahul, who is scared to lead the party in the parliament as its leader will ever gather courage to lead the party? Rahul, who always need some boosting and support from near and dear, can lead the party without being boosted? He always has been proving that his leadership will lead the party to nowhere. If so, why Digvijay Singh is forcing him to occupy party president’s chair? Is he conspiring to wind-up the Congress party?

Farmers’ Suicides are not new: Pocharam

    Even people of Andhra feel very sad to see Telangana farmers are committing suicides due to lack of water supply to save their standing crops. Six farmers have committed suicide in various districts in Telangana state recently for the same reasons. However, Telangana agriculture Minister Pocaharam Srinivas Reddy argues that farmer committing suicides is not a new issue.   He shows the statistics of their deaths during TDP and Congress government’s rule to strengthen his arguments. He said over 3,000 farmers have committed suicide during previous governments’ regimes. But, TDP and Congress parties are speaking like as if it just starts in the TRS regime.   He said “Chief Secretary has asked all the districts collectors to submit the details of the farmers, who committed suicides. Once the report is tabled, state government will help the families of bereaved,” said Pocharam.   But, his statement is clearly revealing that he lacks human approach and has no hard feelings for their suicides. It is unfortunate to hear him transferring the blame onto previous governments, instead of taking corrective measures. Instead of trying to prevent the farmers committing suicides, he says is collecting the statistics of the farmers, who committed suicides.   When Telangana government can reach every nook and corner of the state for conducting a statewide survey, then why is it failing to adopt the same idea to talk to its beleaguered farmers? If all the MLAs, MPs and Ministers visit their constituencies and meet the farmers and extend all possible help to them, it could save hundreds of farmers’ lives. But, they will go to people only when there are elections and not when the people badly need their support.

Jagan Celebrates AP Formation Day

  YSR Congress party President Jagan Mohan Reddy has celebrated Andhra Pradesh Formation Day at his party office, Hyderabad today. Later, addressing his party leaders, “It is unfortunate that Chandrababu Naidu government has changed the AP Formation Day from November 1st to June 2nd, ignoring the great sacrifices of Potti Sriramulu and others. Chandrababu Naidu seems has no idea or interest about our history, otherwise he will not dare to change the formation day,” said Jagan Mohan Reddy.   He further said “Although, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand states are separated from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh simultaneously, the residuary states have not changed their formation days. But, Chandrababu Naidu simply changed the formation day to June 2nd without considering all these aspects.”   “Actually, Telangana state that separates and emerged as 29th state in the country has to observe June 2nd as its formation day, but not the residuary AP state. Hence, we are celebrating AP Formation Day today and I demand Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to revoke his decision and declare November 1st as AP Formation Day, otherwise, when our party comes into power, will definitely change it,” said Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Jagan is a human Robot: Konathala

  One says he is sadist. Other says he is monarch. Another person certifies him suffering with a phobia of insecurity. Someone else says he is self-destroyer of the party. Konathala says he is a human robot. He is Jagan Mohan Reddy and they are his party leaders, who left his party.   Konathala Ramakrishna, a member of YSR party political affairs committee and known as the most trusted leader in the party has been kicked out by Jagan Mohan Reddy. Like many others, who face the same fate in his hands reveals many interesting things about him.   Konathala speaking to media said, “Jagan Mohan Reddy has the habit of insulting his own leaders before other leaders of the party. His smile, speech, thoughts everything is artificial. He can be termed as human robot. He doesn’t bother to take or hear any suggestions from his party leaders. He consults one or two persons close to him and takes decisions, whereas his father late YS Rajashekhar Reddy was used to ask and think over the party leaders suggestions."   "In fact, many senior leaders in the party have no role to play, because of this problem only. If any leader takes initiative, he will get angry and simply get rid of them. Many politicians’ political future was ruined after joining YSR Congress party. He not only ruining their political future but also hammering nails on his own party coffin by sending them out,” he said.   “I plainly told him that it is very difficult to face Chandrababu Naidu’s elections strategies and asked him to be more precautious with party elections strategies, but he doesn’t care my warning. He believed that his image itself is enough to handle Chandrababu Naidu and his TDP, but YSRCP was defeated in the elections. In fact, he himself should be blamed for its defeat and not Chandrababu Naidu or his TDP,” said Konathala.   “However, I thank Jagan Mohan Reddy for relieving me from the pains I had all these years during my stay in the party. I feel very sorry to snap ties with YSR family. I am not angry on him but feel pity for him,” said Konathala.

Telangana government blessed with controversy?

  It seems the ruling TRS government got a breather with the latest controversy erupted with the funds transfer by AP official Murali Sagar into AP government account. So far, Telangana government is facing tremendous pressures from opposition parties over power crisis and farmers suicides etc. issues. Even, it may find it very difficult to defend itself from opposition parties attacks in the upcoming Assembly sessions. But now it feel blessed with the latest controversy erupted out of funds transfer. So, Telangana ministers grab this opportunity to hit back at AP government and TDP. Probably TRS may keep the heat alive till the Assembly sessions begin November 5th and may try to highlight this point to prevent opposition parties raising other issues that will be embarrassing for it.

Unwed mother has to declare how she conceived?

  Advocate Purnima Bhatia, who appears for foreign ministry in Bombay Court, has made it clear that ‘An unwed mother has to declare how she conceived and also should submit an affidavit whether she was raped to have a passport for her child. She has to tell the reasons why she doesn’t want add child’s father’s name in the passport. She said these details are available in the passport manual, a classified document.   A woman has filed the petition in the court after the regional passport officer has refused to add her step father’s name in the passport. The officer suggested her to get the court order appointing him as her guardian for adding his name in her passport. When the court seeks foreign ministry explanation in this matter, its reply is very shocking.

Jagan has insecure feeling: Gandi Babji

  Soon after Konathala Ramakrishna was relieved from YSR Congress party, his close aide Gandi Babji also quits party. While quitting the party, he reveals that Jagan Mohan Reddy is suffering with insecure feeling. He fears that if seniors are encouraged in the party they will steal the limelight that he wants for himself. Babji terms it as insecure-phobia.   “He never bothers to take suggestions of the seniors in the party. If anyone questions him, he will not hesitate to get rid of him off immediately. He wants to get rid of Konathala, because he openly told him that his mother Vijaya Lakshmi electoral chances are blink in Vizag. So, he believes that Konathala has worked against her in the elections and get rid of him now. But, everyone in the party knows that he is a well-wisher of the party," said Babji.   "It is not true that Konathala has not responded to Jagan’s phone calls. In fact, Konathala has tried to talk to Jagan by phone, but he let his political advisor Somayajulu and senior leader Mysoora Reddy speak on his behalf. Jagan puts a condition to Konathala to talk with him. He wants Konathala condemn the media reports about sending his resignation letter by e-mail, but when Konathala refused he accepts his resignation letter even without talking to him. Jagan is self-destroying his party. He runs the party like his own business and not apolitical party,” said Gandi Babji.

Why his voice softens on Andhra people?

  Telangana CM KCR in his recent public meeting held at Meerpet surprised everybody by stating “I treat all the Andhra people settled in Telangana like our family members. Our government will safeguard their interests. We take everyone support for Telangana development.” KCR generally humiliates the Andhra people, politicians and the AP government. Even while speaking soft on the people, he spits fire on AP government and its Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for robbing the water and power of Telangana state. Probably he softens his tone keeping in view of upcoming GHMC elections. He badly needs their support to win the elections as opposition parties may project the elections as a referendum on his ruling. So, he seems is trying to impress the Andhra people settled in Hyderabad that he and his government is not against them. But, the question is, will they ever believe him at all, who refuses to recognize their service to the state and Hyderabad development? Will they believe him who refuse to reimburse the fees of their children?

Nara Lokesh comes-up with innovative idea

  TDP youth icon Nara Lokesh, who earlier for the first time in the country has introduced party workers welfare fund is now again comes-up with an very innovative idea to enroll new members into party during special drive to be launched in both states beginning from November 3rd.   He declared every active member will be covered under group insurance for an amount of Rs.2 lakh and Rs.50, 000 in case of accident. He said the party will also take care of education of two children of the party members, in case of death. He said an active member has to pay Rs.100 and Rs.10 for ordinary membership.   He targets to enroll 18-25 lakh new members in the special drive to be conducted by 1600 youngsters in both states. Lokesh is also using paperless technology to enroll the new members. Tablet PCs with internet connection will be used for enrollment. This will enable the party head office to monitor the enrollments from Hyderabad. Providing insurance cover to party members and enrolment using tablet PCs both ideas are first of their kind in the country.

Visible growth in AP income

  There were apprehensions that residuary AP state that lost Hyderabad to Telangana state may take years to recover from its financial losses. The consequent financial crunch faced by the state post bifurcation also strengthened those apprehensions. However, there is visible growth in the state revues said officials of Commercial taxes, Excise, Transport, Mines, Forest, Stamps and Registrations departments to Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu during a recent meeting.   According to them, the total revenue generated from the 13 districts of the state during the current financial year is Rs. 12,881 crores where as it was Rs.11, 313 in the last year in the same period, which means there is Rs.1, 368 growth in the state revenue. Commercial Taxes: Rs. 6207 crores (Rs. 5, 858 crores first quarter in the last year.); Rs. 6673 crores (Rs. 5, 454 crores in the second quarter last year.) Excise Department: Rs. 1,700 crores including first and second quarters of current financial year. Stamps & Registrations: 1, 318 crores Transport: Rs.888 crores Mining: Rs.426 crores Revenue: Rs.94 crores Forests: Rs.21 crores   Hence, there is 17.6 percent growth in state revenues during the second quarter of the current financial year, said the officials.

SC sets Nov.11 as deadline for Delhi government formation

  The Supreme Court that raps the Centre and Delhi Lt. Governor Nazeeb Jung for the abnormal delay taken place in forming the government of Delhi has given them time till November 11th. However, the apex court bench headed by CJI HL Dattu appreciated the efforts of Delhi Lt. Governor for initiating negotiations with the three political parties-Congress, BJP and Aam Admi Parties for this purpose. The bench has dismissed the plea of AAP for dissolving the government and conducting fresh elections. The bench opined that Lt Governor should be given more time as there is possibility of forming minority government with outside support of some party.   Out of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly, BJP has 31 plus one Akalidal MLA support, AAP-28 and Congress-8 and two independents. However, none of the three parties are able to form the government as 34 MLAs are needed for it. Recently, 3 MLAs of BJP have resigned to their posts as they got elected to Loksabha. So, the bye-elections for these three seats will be held in the next month and so the apex court bench has preferred to wait till then and adjourned the case to November 11th.

AP Formation Day on June 2nd

  Dropping curtains on the ongoing debate over when to observe AP formation day, the state cabinet that met today has decided to observe it on June 2nd that is Telangana has separated from residuary Andhra Pradesh state. So, residuary Andhra Pradesh state also has emerged as a new state with 13 districts on the same day. So, both states may observe the formation day on the same day.   There were arguments that June 8th should be observed as AP formation day that is when the President’s Rule on the state was lifted and TDP government has sworn in. Some others argued that there is no need to change the formation day from November 1st because it is Telangana that separated from AP state and not AP from Telangana state. But, AP government dropped the curtains on the debate by approving June 2nd as AP formation day. So, both AP and Telangana states have missed to celebrate their first formation days this year.
