Is Sabbam Hari playing double game

  Congress MP from Anakapalli Sabbam Hari, has openly stated that he will be contesting on YSRCP ticket in the forthcoming elections. Although, all the Jagan loyal MLAs in Congress party have jumped into YSRCP, Sabbam Hari is still continuing in Congress party. However, he is not actively participating in either Congress or YSRC party affairs and programs, due to his present conflict position. Probably, he wants to keep his options open in both parties.   Although, he occasionally speaks in favour of YSRCP, he has been maintaining a safe distance from it, as if he doesn’t want to spoil his relations with Congress party. He even skips meeting Vijayamma during her recent visit to Vizag, as he still officially continuing as Congress MP.   Perhaps, he may take a decision only after knowing about Jagan Mohan Reddy’s bail status. If, he comes out on bail, he may leave Congress and join YSRCP or else may continue in Congress party, because without Jagan’s physical presence in the elections YSRC party can’t make any impact in the elections. Sabbam Hari seems is wisely utilizing the weaknesses of Congress and YSR Congress parties as both parties need a powerful leader like him. But, when time comes Rahul Gandhi and Jagan Mohan Reddy may shrugs him off for playing double game with them.

Now, he can’t go ahead with his legal fight against Daggubati nor can he keep quiet after serving legal notices to him. Hence, he told the media that he is giving 10 days grace period to Daggubati to tender an unconditional apology to him or else will sue him in the court.”   Since, the two leaders are belong to same party, Congress high command may soon intervene in the matter and may make them both silent.

  Soon after the TRS leader K.Taraka Rama rao’s name surfaced in a land settlement case, it triggers a high pitched battle between TRS and TDP over KCR family’s disproportionate assets.

Hence, TDP caught them at their weakest point and try to corner them in the house.   TDP leader Motkupalli Narasimhulu accused that KTR has met CM Kiran Kumar Reddy seeking his help to bail him out of the case. Errabelli Dayakar rao has intensified his attacks on KCR’s family members for accumulating thousands of crores of properties in the name of Telangana agitations and demands for CBI inquiry into their disproportionate assets cases. However, TRS too played its cards very well in this game. It’s leader Harish rao has tried to cut down TDP by hinting that around 8 MLAs of TDP are in touch with them. In other words, he is hinting that, if TDP continues its fight against KCR family any further, then they will be obliged to pull the strings of the 8 TDP MLAs that will destabilize the party.

Jana try to twist party hand to obtain Home

  Minister K. Jana Reddy, who until last week has lobbied at New Delhi for Home Minister post, now states that he is interested in Telangana state than any thing else. Therefore, as if to prove his interest he has convened a T meeting with all the T ministers, MLAs, MPs and other T leaders on June 30th at Hyderabad.   He said the decision of conveying the T meeting is not intended to gain any political mileage but merely for pressurizing the party high command to take a favorable decision on Telangana at the earliest. He said the meeting decision is not his personal but a collective idea of T Congress leaders. Speaking about the reports of package for Telangana, he said “If the party opts for it, then it has to forget about winning the elections in the state for the next 20 years. Except forming Telangana state, no other offer is acceptable to us.”   He is the one, who puts breaks to T Congress leaders’ efforts on Telangana during last year, stating that party high command is seriously working on the issue. But, when he is not given home minister post, then he once again picks the Telangana issue to twist party hand.   If one could recall the way Eluru MP Kavuri Sambhasiva rao got the union minister post by twisting party high command’s hand with his resignation letter and then by extending his support to Samaikyandhra agitations, now Jana Reddy also seems to be adopted some what same idea of Kavuri to bag home minister post. This is why he lost credibility in the party and in Telangana agitations. Yet, he seems love to continue with his style.

Chanchalguda jail road prohibited for common public

  Ever since, Jagan Mohan Reddy has been imprisoned in Chanchalguda, it become a major political hub. Many VIPs like Vijaysai Reddy, Nimmagadda, IAS officers, former ministers have been landing in the jail facing CBI cases. Therefore, the heavy flow of MLAs, MPs and political party leaders to the jail makes it a high sensitive zone.   Hence, the jail officials have got permission to close down the road adjacent to the jail premises permanently due to security reasons. A parallel road will be developed beside it for the common public. This itself is another evidence on how Jagan Mohan Reddy is utilizing the jail to conduct his party and personal affairs.

Boda Janardhan leaves YCP

  Senior YCP leader Boda Janardhan has resigned to party and joins Congress party. He said the party has lost its charisma in Telangana area and it will be completely wiped off from the region after the elections. Congress has assured him of MP ticket either from Pedapalli or Chennur constituencies.   However, YCP stated that Boda has left the party purely on his own agenda. YCP has always assured ticket to him and even now also its ready to offer him ticket if he returns to party. YCP will be badly affected with his resignation as he is a very influential leader in Telangana region.   Earlier, Boda Janardhan Reddy has worked in TDP for two decades. Boda has left TDP and joins YCP soon after its launching. He has strived a lot to strengthen the party in his Adilabad district. Keeping in view of his image YCP made him as district in-charge and also appointed him as party convener.   Boda was elected to Assembly for four times from his Chennur constituency. Veteran Congress leader G.Venkata Swami is his bitter rival in the constituency. He lost to his son G.Vinod in the last elections with a very narrow margin.   Everything was fine until the arrival of Indra Karan Reddy and Janak Prasad. Gradually, he developed differences with them and his importance in the party has been reduced. At the same time Congress also eyes him as an ideal candidate, who can be substitute to G.Vinod, who recently left the party and joins TRS. So, Congress rolled a red carpet to Boda offering party ticket from his constituency.
