Governors are aged prostitutes: KPS Gill

  The former IPS officer KPS Gill, who is known as encounter specialist and also for his controversial remarks participating in a TV program has said “The then Minister in Congress Government, Rajesh Pilot has asked me to take charge as Governor of Manipur, but I did not accepted his offer, because I think the Governors are just like aged prostitutes, who don’t have any job to do. It is absurd to hear Tarun Gogoi, the then CM of Assam state is claiming that he has stopped the Government of India from making me as Governor of Manipur. It is me, who rejected the offer.”   Gill opines that India Government has made a big blunder by sending troops into ‘Golden Temple’ in Amritsar under operation Blue Star and conducting Operation Bajarang in Assam to eliminate terrorists. He said the task could be left with state police instead. He opined that terror activities triggers only due to lack of development activities, for which politicians of the country need to be blamed.

Jagan to meet President Pranab

  Jagan Mohan Reddy will meet President Pranab Mukharji on Saturday afternoon to talk about bifurcation issue. Later, he will meet Union Minister Sarat Pawar at Mumbai, who is also president of NCP, a member in UPA alliance. Then, he will fly to Bhubaneswar to meet Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to seek his party support to keep the state united. His interest in meeting the leaders of Non-Congress parties seems he has other intentions than gathering support for his Samaikyandhra. But, it is quite surprising to see him meeting President quite often than any other opposition leader in the country.

Mulayam controversial statement

  Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh, who is also former Defence Minister of India, speaking at a public meeting held by his party at Rai Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh yesterday, “I had ordered our forces to penetrate into China. Our soldiers had camped 4km inside the Chinese territory and yet China could not do anything. This is available in our records and anyone can check, if want to confirm,” said Mulayam Singh.   He then says “Rahul Gandhi is unfit for Prime Minister Post. He humiliated Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh by stating to torn the ordinance made by his government. The humiliation has not come from the opposition parties but from his own party and from the vice president of the party. Prime Minister would have resigned for the humiliation.”   While, India is struggling to sort out the border disputes with neighboring countries for the last five decades, being a former Defence Minister Mulayam Singh, would have shown constraint in speaking about such sensitive issues that may turn embarrassing for India.   Mulayam Singh is also dreaming to become Prime Minister of India, by forging Third Front.

CMO underplays Prorogue request

  The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) has taken pains to respond to the controversy erupted out of its letter to Speaker Nadendla Manohar asking to prorogue the Assembly. The CMO while condemning the rumors on prorogue issue, says it is just a routine official process carried out by it and nothing there is nothing odd in it as described by media and politicians. It said it is necessary to prorogue the Assembly to pass the ordinance. It is a technical aspect in this procedure and not any odd practice. However, it didn’t reveal which ordinance is needed to be approved by the Assembly right now and why it sat on the letter all these months and sent the letter ahead of Telangana bill reaches the Assembly for a debate.

Elections that decides fate of the Prime candidate

  Elections in five states of Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan and Mizoram are considered as semifinals ahead of 2014 general elections. Hence, the battle is severe and the main players are Congress and BJP.   While, the Congress is desperately trying to grab the three states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh from BJP hand, BJP while trying to retain the three, is leaving no stone left unturned to grab Delhi from Congress hand. It appears BJP left Mizoram to Congress party as it has no strength in that state.   According survey reports, BJP is likely to lose Rajasthan but able to retain power in Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh states. However, there is mixed reports over which party will win the Delhi, because of the presence of a 3rd player Aam Admi.   These elections are like an acid test for the Prime Minister candidates Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi. The merits of these elections are definitely going to spread their influence on their political future. If, BJP could retain all its three states and also win Delhi, then it will be another bad remark in Rahul’s progress sheet.   Even after winning Rajasthan, if he loses Delhi to BJP or Aam Admi, then also his ranking will not improve. If, he could retain Delhi and also win Rajasthan besides Mizoram, then definitely Modi has to re-look at his performance.   Hence, it is understood that Delhi is pivotal in these elections. Polling for Delhi Assembly will be held on December 4th and results will be declared on 8th that is hardly four months ahead of 2014 general elections.

Jagan’s Samaikya Odarpu Yatra from 28th

  The dilemma about whether to conduct Samaikyandhra Shankaravam or Odarpu Yatra by Jagan Mohan Reddy has led to a new breed of Yatra that is ‘Samaikya Odarpu Yatra’ in which he will campaign for Samaikyandhra cause and also console the family members of those, who died after former CM late Rajashekar Reddy’s death.   Need not to say that he will also simultaneously campaign for his YSR Congress party and thrash his rivals in the same course. He chooses his darling enemy Chandrababu’s home constituency Kuppam in Chittoor to begin his Samaikya Odarpu Yatra that begins from 28th of this month. Although his tour couldn’t stop bifurcation of the state and it may helpful to strengthen his own party.

Producer Vadde Ramesh died

  Noted producer Vadde Ramesh (66) died at KIMS Hospital on Thursday evening. He is ailing with cancer disease. His son Vadde Naveen is a Tollywood actor. Ramesh has produced super hits like Bobbili Puli with late NTR, Katakatala Rudrayya, Rangoon Rowdy with Krishnam Raju. He also directed one film-'Amma Koduku’ played by Dr.Rajashekar. He stopped making films after his 'Lankeswarudu' film with mega star Chiranjeevi fails at box office. His last rituals may take place at Hyderabad tomorrow.

Chandrababu sharply criticized Congress

  Chandrababu speaking to media today sharply criticized Congress party for misusing the constitutional bodies of the state and country.   “Congress party is spearheading on bifurcation without following the constitutional procedures. Instead initiating the process from the state, it begins it from New Delhi. Even today, it has no clarity on how to complete the process, whether it is dealing with Article 371 (D) or sending Telangana bill to Assembly or conducting all-party-meeting. When we demands for an all-party- meeting with National parties, it summons the state political parties. Even then also instead of conducting a meeting together with all the parties, it interviews them.”   He said, “The Governor, who is a constitutional body of the state meets a political party president Sonia Gandhi and Digvijay Singh to brief them about the state situation. The CM, who is also part of the same structure opposes his own party decision, but let it complete the bifurcation process continues. He crosses swords with Speaker, who is also part of the constitutional body. We are surprised to hear about the controversy erupts on prorogue of Assembly. Even such a small issues turns major issues in Congress ruled governments. Each one in Congress party has his own versions and ideology on bifurcation of the state. I suspect are they altogether are trying to fool the people by playing this kind of tricks?”

Dy.CM appeals Governor not to Prorogue Assembly

  Deputy CM Damodara Raja Narasimha wrote a letter to Governor Narasimhan appealing him not to prorogue the Assembly. He wrote that the Centre has taken a decision to divide the state. Hence, it becomes duty of the state Assembly to discuss the same and give its opinion to Centre. So, the Governor shouldn’t allow anyone to prologue the Assembly, appeals Dy. CM.

GoM will meet next week: Shinde

  Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde holds the GoM meeting at his office in New Delhi today. However, P. Chidambaram and Ghulam Nabi Azad are not present in the today’s meeting as they were out of station. The meeting which continues for around one and half hours is said to be mainly discussed about Hyderabad status.   Later speaking to media Shinde said GoM will meet again in the next week after the arrival of Chidambaram and Azad. Actually, the GoM is expected to finalize its reprot during today's meeting and to submit it to Union Cabinet Ministers' meeting to be held today. However, Shinde said GoM need to meet two or three times further for finalizing its report.   The proposed Cabinet meeting to be held today is also postponed, as Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh is leaving for Rajasthan for election campaigning.

Police released Photo of Bangalore ATM attacker

  An unidentified miscreant, who brutally attacked a Corporation bank employee Jyothy Uday(44) in an unguarded ATM counter located in a crowded place in Bangalore on Tuesday has robbed Rs.2500 cash and mobile from her and flees away. She was found unconscious and badly bleeding with the injuries on her skull for nearly more than three hours.   Doctors performed multiple surgeries to her damaged skull. However, she is suffering partial paralysis on her right side parts of body as particular part of brain was injured in the attack. However, she is gradually recovering and out of danger, said the doctors.   On the other side, Karnataka Police have started a massive hunt for the attacker and arrested one person, with the help of the phone call made from the stolen mobile. However, the person told the police that he bought it from unknown person yesterday at a throw away price. Police are searching for the attacker in neighboring Andhra and Tamilnadu states also. They released the photograph of the attacker got from the video footage of CC Camera in ATM counter.

Aam Admi annoys Congress

  The Assembly election campaign in Delhi is gradually heating-up as hardly two weeks left for the polling (December 4th). While, Congress party is desperate to retain its Delhi state, BJP also quite eager to grab the Delhi Chair from Congress hand as it could send a positive signals and can create a positive atmosphere throughout the country for facing 2014 general elections. Hence, both the parties are leaving no stone left unturned to grab Delhi Chair.   However, a new player-Aam Admi Party led by Aravind Kejriwal armed with a broom (election symbol) enters between them promising to clean the politics. The encouraging survey reports to Aam Admi party, is obviously very much annoying to both the big players.   Hence, Congress try to nab Aam Admi by ordering a probe into party funds poured in from foreign sources. However, Aravind Kejriwal, who once served as joint commissioner in Income Tax department, very well knows how to maintain party accounts. He welcomed Congress probe and also recommended probe into Congress and BJP accounts also.   After this idea backfires at it, Congress pick-ups Anna Hazare’s letter written to Aravind Kejriwal asking explanation for misuse of his name and using his photo in party campaign. Aravind promptly responding to his letter said "We have never used Anna's Photo in any of our campaiging material. Probably, it is handy work of Congress and BJP parties, which misguides Annaji. We welcome a public enquiry into this matter."   However, Congress intensifies its attacks utilizing the rift between the two social activists Anna and Aravind, but a shocker come from none other than the grand old man Anna.   He said “I am very much sure that Aravind Kejriwal is a clean man. I just wrote a personal letter to him asking for his explanation in using my name and photos in election campaign. However, I still love to talk to him and strongly believe that we have good relations between us.”   Perhaps, this is not exactly what Congress expects at the end.

Controversy over Sachin’s Bharat Ratna

  Unfortunately, controversy erupts over declaring India’s highest award Bharat Ratna to Sachin Tendulkar, who recently retires from cricket. An RTI activist Devasish Bhattacharya wrote a letter to Election Commission complaining about the timing of announcement of the award. He alleges that declaring Bharat Ratna to Sachin during elections in five state are in progress is violation of election code of conduct, as it may influence Sachin's fans and cricket lovers to vote in favor Congress party for honoring him with such a highest award. He questioned the timing of the award.   EC endorses his complaint and it will discuss about this point with legal experts before taking any decision. A JD (U) party leader also flays Congress for the timing of the award. If, EC opines that it is violation of election code of conduct, then it will be not only embarrassing to Congress and UPA government but also to Little Master Sachin Tendulkar.

Dharmana brothers likely to exchange parties

  Dharmana Prasada rao, who lost his minister post for being listed in Jagan Mohan Reddy’s illegal assets cases, is planning to join YSR Congress party in a day or two.

According to reports Dharmana is prepared to join YSRCP only after he was assured of Srikakulam MP seat. Another accused in Vanpik lands scam case Mopidevi venkata Ramana has recently joined YSR Congress party.

So... Is the Bifurcation Certain?

  So... Is the Bifurcation Certain!? Can’t vouch for the above statement! But that is what the feeling one gets after hearing the speeches of Seema Andhra Ministers after meeting the GOM. Honestly, there was no much difference between what Seemandhra Ministers said and the T ministers said post their GOM meet except the post bifurcation demands varied.   The T Central Ministers reiterated their demands post bifurcation, while the Seema Andjhra Ministers made it amply clear that they are willing for bifurcation provided their demands of x,y and z are met.   The Seema Andhra ministers in their talk with journos did not at any point stressed that they have indeed talked about the Samaikya Andhra issue. Even seniors like Kishore Chandra Dev is harping on the Capital to be given to Vizag.   Then it was left to the Chief Minister to nail the last coffin on the Samaikya Andhra. Though CM spent 75 minutes with the GOM and strangely spent the almost same time explaining to the reporters in Andhra Bhavan of what he has told to GOM, the issue was nothing but the consolidation of the various press reports he has been giving to the people from his peshi. CM conveniently forgot that he was called by the GOM for a talk on the policies of bifurcation.   If Kiran, as being portrayed by him, is really defying the high command, then he should have resigned as anyways the GOM is saying it has almost finalized the report to be submitted to the cabinet on 20th. CM is still talking about mundane things like giving 2 books to GOM of how Samaikya Andhra is important etc. The feeling that CM is just trying ti spend time is getting currency. If he can continue the same drama until the bill comes to Parliament, then it will be easy for him to portray himself as a person who has fought valiantly until the last minute but was defeated by the high command. This way he can present himself as a fighter to the people and also can get good marks with the high command as a person who has kept the Andhra people at bay through portrayal of “I am fighting..you don’t worry” . This way he has kept Andhra people and second rung politicians at bay from making a open revolt. At the end of the day, the congress command is able to do peacefully what it intends to do.   All this is giving a feeling to the discerning observers that bifurcation is imminent and the writing on the wall is clear. It’s what the Congress high commands wants and the Andhra congress leaders are striving to give!!   (By: Neelayapalem VIjay Kumar)

Time is not ripe : SC

  Around 10 separate petitions have been filed by different persons including by TDP leaders Payyavula Keshav and CM Ramesh in Supreme Court opposing bifurcation of the state and seeking its intervention in the process. However, today the court rejects all their petitions as it sees there is no official letter in this regard. The court said unless it go through the note on division of the state, it can’t let the trial begin. It also reminds the petitioners that there is no official note brought before the state Assembly or the Parliament until today. Hence rejecting all the petitions, it asked the petitions to approach it at an appropriate time.   Though, the petitions filed by Payyavula Keshav and CM Ramesh have failed to solve its purpose, indeed it led to a big fight within the party. TDP Telangana Forum convener Errabelli Dayakar rao spits fire on them both for trying to create hurdles in Telangana process with their petitions. It went to such an extent that it appears Errabelli is going to quit the party on the same grounds, but party president Chandrababu somehow calmed them.
