Balakrishna has openly declared that he is keen to contest from either Krishna district or from Hindupuram constituencies. Harikrishna is also expressed his interest to contest to Assembly from Krishna district.   However, he kept on hold Nandamuri brothers-Balakrishna and Harikrishna’s names for the second list. The same way, Chandrababu also kept on hold of many important constituencies. Balayya fans are anxiously waiting for an official announcement of his name. Any further delay in announcing his name may irk them very much and they may once again hit roads demanding for his ticket.

Sridevi & South attraction in North Politics

 With celebrities campaigning for parties during election times is a common thing along with the media hype which adds to the glamour quotient. South Indian actresses have always ruled the roost in Hindi films and also went to have successful political careers like Vyjayanthimala Bali who became an MP, Rekha who was nominated to the Rajya sabha, Jaya Prada who has been the Rampur ka beti and now is contesting from Bijnore Lok Sabha constituency the from Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) ,Nagma who has joined the Congress and is contesting from Meerut and now with Hema Malini contesting from Mathura all shows the kind of hold Southern stars have in elections and campaigns in the Northern states. The latest to join the star campaigners is our Padmasri Sridevi who along with her husband Boney Kapoor on Tuesday campaigned for Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) candidate Amar Singh in Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar Pradesh. Needless to say she was a crowd puller and has caused enough chaos and jams in the small city with her posing with dressed in a sari with cheques in it, she was definitely the right choice to bring in the crowds unlike Amar Singhs now frail personality. Wonder how much she was paid for this also? Meanwhile our beautiful Basanti is going through a grueling campaign which was evident with her trying her hand at the water pump which was quite a tough task for the lady but she pulled it off. Jaya Prada meanwhile is facing troubling as she was charged for violating model code of conduct yesterday for holding a public meeting without seeking permission from the district administration in Muzzafarnager. No matter what it’s these bevy of South beauties who have pulled the crowds and are the cynosure of people’s eyes when it comes to political campaigns up North.

Is Sharmila to conduct trial run for Jagan in T?

  YSR Congress party has shifted to Seemandhra, after CWC announces its decision to divide the state. Ever since, it has concentrating on gaining upper hand in Seemandhra. However, it once again begins returning to Telangana after bifurcation bill is approved by Parliament. Now, it is also fielding candidates in several constituencies across Telangana. However, its president Jagan Mohan Reddy is still avoids visiting Telangana, probably because his physical presence may make the people of Telangana angry and ruin his party candidates’ electoral chances, if any.   So, the way BJP has assigned Sushma Swaraj to Telangana and Venkaiah Naidu to Seemandhra, Jagan also seems to be distributes campaigning task between the family members. While he is concentrating on Seemandhra region, his sister Sharmila will be looking after Telangana region. Their mother Vijayamma may also join her occasionally.   Sharmila will start her campaigning in Telangana between 10 and 16th on behalf of YSR Congress party candidates. Perhaps, this might be also seen as a precautious arrangement to avert any attacks on Jagan Mohan Reddy by TRS or any Telangana protagonists. Jagan may join his sister if there is safe and positive atmosphere.

TRS bonanza for Mega family

  The waiting for Allu Arjun's father-in-law, Kancherla Chandrasekhar Reddy, is over and he has joined the Telangana Rashtra Samithi party in the last minute and has been given the Assembly ticket from Ibrahimpatnam. He is the Chairman of the Scient Institute of Technology in Ibrahimpatnam, Ranga Reddy district and other organizations run by their family. He belongs to the Peddavoora mandal in Nalgonda district and tried for a Congress ticket and also met the AICC in charge of AP state DigVijay Singh in this regard. But the talks were not fruitful despite the presence of K.Chiranjeevi who is the MOS at the center as he was not given a seat of his choice. The name for Mr K Chandrasekhar Reddy was released along with the party's final list of candidates for Telangana assembly elections. Either way it’s a double bonanza for the Mega family, with Chiranjeevi as a Congress Rajya Sabha member who will be in Delhi till 2018 when his term ends and if K Chandra Sekhar Reddy wins the seat its one representation in the AP assembly. Now all eyes are going to be on Allu Arjun who is currently enjoying his new found fatherhood and stardom , to see if he comes out with a statement whether he will campaign for his father-in-law or not. It’s all in the family.

KCR has no faith in himself?

  With the TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao declaring that he would contest from Medak Lok Sabha constituency and from the Gajwel Assembly seat in Medak district simultaneously in the upcoming state polls to be held in the Telangana region, either shows that he is has fear about losing in the polls or he is a very clever politician who will either get the assembly seat and become the Chief Minsiter of Telangana State or if made an MP will harbor higher aspirations at the National level. If he is really a great leader and becomes an MP, he will the torch bearer for the development of Telangana. The TRS manifesto boasts of various schemes which will need a lot of approval and hand holding from the center and this move to contest for both the seats is leading to a widespread speculation about his fears and strategy. He has put in all his pawns in the form of his family members who include, his daughter Kavitha from Nizamabad Lok Sabha seat, KTR his son from Siricilla Assembly seat and Harish Rao his nephew from Siddipet Assembly seats.

Sai Prathap joins Cong. asks Kiran to return

  It appears Digvijay Singh’s damage control efforts in Seemandhra are yielding fruitful results. The expelled Congress MP Sai Prathap from Rajampeta, who is expected to join Kiran’s JSP has returned to Congress party today with Digvijay timely rolling red carpet to him. Actually, Sai Prathap is expected to join Kiran’s JSP but he distanced with it after seeing poor response to it from the people.   Later, he gives a thought to join TDP like any other Congress leader, but the delay in taking a timely decision has closed doors for him in TDP also, as it has offered Rajampeta constituency to BJP as a part of poll alliance. So, Digvijay Singh, who sniffs his frustrating situation, roles a red carpet for him back into party and Sai Prathap humbly accepted it without any second thoughts.   However, it is interesting to hear Sai Prathap advising Kiran Kumar Reddy to wind-up his JSP and return to Congress fold immediately. Of course it is not a bad idea. He has to do it even after elections. So, better hurry now and secure his ticket from Congress.   Digvijay should also consider inviting rest of the four MPs back into party, who may be desperately waiting for a phone call from him.

Is DL distanced from TDP?

  TDP is going to conduct its ‘Praja Garjana’ meeting at Kadapa today as a party of its election campaigning. Former minister Dr.DL. Ravindra Reddy, who recently announced that he will be joining TDP, is expected to join the party today in the presence of Chandrababu during this meeting. So, naturally everyone expects him supervise the meeting arrangements and mobile the people to showcase his strength in the district. Instead, he moved to Hyderabad yesterday and said to be avoiding media contact. Is this means that he suddenly changed his mind and not joining TDP as announced earlier? If so, who stops him from joining TDP? Is it his rival Veera Shiva Reddy’s sudden entry into TDP or something else?
