Kadiyam absconds party meeting

  Chandrababu Naidu holds a meeting with his party leaders at party head office yesterday. They have discussed several issues that is troubling party these days including Dadi Veerabhadra rao’s resignation to party. They have finalized dates for Mahandu meetings on 27th and 28th. The meeting also clears Chandrababu’s bus-yatra program. He will visit the remaining 6 districts-Chittoor, Kadapa, Nellore, Prakasham, Nalgonda, and Hyderabad, Secunderabad twin cities, where he could not visit during his padayatra.   Kadiyam Srihari abstains from this crucial meeting. However, TDP party leaders said it should not be viewed negatively as he has already met Chandrababu just one day prior to the meeting and talked in detail about the issues. But, his absence reveals that issues raised by him are not yet addressed. If, he continues to stay away from party meetings and actives any further, it can be understood that he looses the party confidence and his enemy Motkupalli Narasimhulu enjoys the backing of party president Chandrababu. However, it will be too early to come to any conclusion in this regard.

Why did Kiran develops aggressive attitude?

    When Kiran Kumar Reddy has occupied the CM chair, many of his own party leaders have joined opposition leaders to sing chorus with them, who humiliate him calling as Sealed Cover CM. Perhaps, this is what makes develop stubborn attitude in Kiran towards his own ministers to overcome his inferiority complex.   The non-cooperation from his own MLAs and ministers due to Telangana and many other reasons further toughened his attitude. Obviously, it widen the gap between him and his ministers, MLAs in the government. There was a time, when people got doubt whether he was isolated by his party leaders or is he keeping away his own party leaders.   Although, Kiran is aware of this unpleasant situation in the party and government, he has never tried for a patch-up with his own men, fearing it will provide them to gain upper hand over him. Hence, he spearheads with his own programs leaving party behind him.   Would he attained his present position with hard efforts like late YSR did in the past, definitely he would not have faced this kind of resistance from his own people. But, his direct appointment as CM of the state makes him inferior to his party leaders, which he wants to overcome now by adopting aggressive attitude. To certain extent, he even succeeded in his efforts, but the pace with which he is moving now further creates distance between him and his men.   When, he turned around and sees who is following him, there is no one behind him, instead find some of his men sending reports against him to party high command. It is time for Kiran Kumar Reddy to asses his own situation in the party and to know whether he wants to travel alone or want to be accompanied by his party men to the elections.

Did Dadi made a grave mistake?

  Dadi Veerabadra rao, who quits TDP and gearing-up join YSR Congress party has faced an unexpected resistance from his followers and from YSRCP cadres in Anakapalli town. His followers have isolated him condemning his decision of leaving the party and to join YSRCP, which he earlier described as robbers’ party. His followers have made protests in front of his house at Anakapalli yesterday. They told the media that, they don’t want to follow him as they want to remain forever in TDP only. They sharply criticized him for keeping them in dark till he quits the party. They said he has betrayed TDP, which gave him name and fame.   The situation is no different for him on the other side also. YSRCP cadres have protested Dadi’s arrival into party. They said it is unfair to welcome such a person, who abused the party and troubled its leaders in the city. Konathala Ramakrishna, senior leader of the YSRCP and his brother Lakshmi Narayana are also not happy with his arrival, as they personally and politically have faced several problems with him, while he was in TDP. They both plainly told their party high command that they are not happy with his arrival.   However, Dadi Veerabadra rao has said, today he will meet Jagan Mohan Reddy and discuss with him about his joining into his party. If, he is satisfied with his terms and conditions will join the party otherwise quit politics. He is neither wanted in TDP nor in YSRCP now. Unfortunately, his 3decades of political experience couldn’t stop him from taking a grave mistake like this, with which he not only puts his political life at stake but also his son Ratnakar’s life.   The only relief he had now is a welcome message from Congress Minister Ganta Srinivasa rao. He said, if Dadi wants to join Congress party, he would like to welcome him into party. However, Dadi may face the same situation in Congress also, as there also Congress cadres are opposing his entry into party.

YSRCP Minority cell anguish over cast factor

  YSR Congress party is passing through internal crisis. The in-fights between warring groups have reached its peak with the appointment of constituency in-charges. Now added to them are cast politics. Party minority cell in-charge Rehman, has revealed the cast factor that is raiding on the party. He said “Would I have those two letters beside my name and could claim myself as ‘Rehman Reddy’ I would have more privilege in the party. But, unfortunately, I don’t carry those two letters beside my name. I will work for Jagan Mohan Reddy as long our minority people’s interests are safe guarded in the party.”

Why did Suresh Reddy jumps into TDP

  Chada Suresh Reddy, who once with TDP and elected to Parliament twice has jumped into TRS at the peak of Telangana agitations. However, he was assured of Malkajgiri Parliament seat in the next general elections. But, KCR has changed his mind and said to be decided to offering the same to Mallareddy the MD of Mallareddy Educational group. Suresh Reddy, who is upset with the developments has been staying away party affairs since last few months and finally returns to TDP fold.   But, it is not known yet whether Chandrababu Naidu has offered him Malkajgiri seat or not, because TDP senior leader Revant Reddy wants to contest from this particular constituency in the next elections. Hence, Chandrababu may not ask Revant to sacrifice for the new comer. In such case, Suresh Reddy should be prepared to contest from some other constituency otherwise it doesn’t solve his purpose of leaving TRS party.

CM Kiran boldly takes upon T-leaders

  CM Kiran Kumar Reddy has gradually transformed into powerful political leader by shrugging off his soft-approach attitude towards his rivals and issues. When, he takes charge as CM of the state, there was a general belief in the party as well as in the people that he was installed in the chair as a temporary adjustment until the party founds a suitable person. However, in no time he glued to his seat firmly by handling the issues in his own style. He has gone through very odd situation created by Jagan’s hyper activities in the state politics and Telangana agitations, but survived. But, then he didn’t reveal his actual himself instead maintained his usual calm. But, soon after he successfully broke the month long strike by Telangana employees, he picks-up courage and start revealing himself.   His attacks on TRS MLAs in Assembly and fitting reply on introducing bill on Telangana has left the TRS MLAs feel short to him. TRS MLAs were dismayed and shocked, when he harshly told them that he will not sanction a single NP to Telangana, during Assembly proceedings few months ago. His attitude just reminds late YSR’s style, who used to dare TRS leaders like anything, opine his colleagues in the party. Kiran Kumar Reddy has been maintaining the same pace and spirits in handling TRS and opposition parties in electrical tariff hike and Bayyaram mines issues etc.   While, his ministers were seen hesitating to respond to TRS and opposition attacks on Bayyaram mines issue, Kiran Kumar Reddy took the lead and attacks them thus encouraging his ministers to follow his path. Kiran Kumar Reddy has not only reiterated his stand on Bayyaram mines but also challenged TRS and the others to stop if they can. While, accepting their challenge to face the earth quakes that they plans to create on Bayyaram mines, he also tried to project them as mischievous team which wants to throw spanner in development activities in the Telangana region.   Kiran Kumar Reddy in his recent meeting at Sanga Reddy has asked whether TRS leaders actually do not want a Steel factory and Purification plant to come at Bayyaram, which offers employment to thousands in the region. Kiran Kumar Reddy has wisely selected Telangana region for launching of his several welfare schemes, with which he plans to win the hearts of the Telangana people.   While, launching the schemes, he utilized the occasion to reveal that KCR and his family members are doing business in the name of Telangana agitations. This is indeed a very wise move to convince the people that he is savior and KCR and his family members are cheating them in the name of Telangana agitations.

GREEKU VEERUDU User Review

Cast: Nagarjuna,Nayantara Music: SS Thaman Produced By: Siva Prasad Reddy Directed By: Dasaradh Review By: Praneetha Reddy     Immaterial of your personality, situation, attitude and mentality, people do change for the ones they love. Love conquers all. A Nag style clean family sentiment movie. Decent comedy. I liked the first scene of the movie, describes the attitude of Nag and Nayan. For some reason, Nags dance in a couple of songs, specially “Ne vinnadi Nijamena” title step was hilarious and all the audience was laughing real loud. I felt, the step was a copy from Laila O Laila. Nag: He can still compete with young heroes in terms of looks and style. Few heroes should definitely consult hi for the style he carries and we should appreciate his hard work for maintaining his looks at this age. Nag is the show stealer. Nayan: High time she needs a makeover. She has the same bland look in Anjeneyulu, Adurs n the saga now continues in GV. Meera Chopra: Ohhh, TV9 Anveshana lo malli patkunattu vunaru… No comments :P Bharath Reddy: Looks stunning, he should try lengthier roles in his next movies. Bramhi was not utilized to his usual potential. MSN was good. Vennela Kishore and Nagineedu, tiny roles. Bottom-line: Fans, Don’t miss it for the GREEKU VEERUDU. Others, logics vadilesthe, average movie.

Court reserves judgment on Vijayasai bail

  CBI’s petition for canceling bail to Vijayasai Reddy has ends-up with Supreme Court keeping its decision in reserve after hearing heated arguments between both parties on Thursday. The court has asked CBI to submit the progress report of its investigation in a sealed cover so as it could take appropriate decision over his bail.   CBI argued that he is the one who played key role in Jagan Mohan Reddy’s disproportionate assets case. It handed over a lengthy list showing his involvement in each and every deal made on behalf of Jagan Mohan Reddy owned companies. CBI has accused him of threatening and influencing the several businessmen to invest in Jagan Mohan Reddy companies. He behaves more like a Jagan agent than a respected charted accountant in brining investments to Jagan’s companies argued CBI. CBI told the court that he is threatening the witnesses not to co-operate with CBI in Jagan’s case otherwise to face dire consequences.   At a point CBI has compared Vijayasai Reddy with terrorist Afjal Guru, who was hanged for conspiring attacks on Parliament. CBI appeals the court to cancel his bail immediately to ensure proper investigation into Jagan Mohan Reddy’s disproportionate assets case.   Vijayasai Reddy’s council Ramacharan has objected CBI comparing his client with terrorist Afjal Guru. In his counter to CBI arguments, he asked how could CBI is able to gather so many evidences against his client, while it is accusing him of blocking its investigation? He asked whether CBI is accusing him for even procuring the evidences against Jagan Mohan Reddy cases? He reminds the apex court that the lower court has granted bail to his client only after thoroughly examining all the aspects involved in this case. He asked the court not to consider CBI’s plea for canceling his client’s bail. Supreme Court kept its decision in reserve.

Govt. wakes-up after Sarabjit’s death

  All most all the top leaders of UPA government ranging from Prime Minister Dr.Manomohan Singh to home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to minister Manish Tiwari, who wakes-up to Sarabjit Singh’s tragic death in Pakistan and making hue and cry now before the media. They sharply criticize Pakistan for being inhuman and violating the Geneva agreement in handling the foreign prisoners. All of they assures Sarbjit’s family members that efforts were on to bring back his body for performing his last riots. Even Rahul Gandhi, who normally absconds from this kind of incidents has visited Sarabjit’s family to express his grief and condolence.   However, Sarbjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur has blames the government for failing to bring him back alive despite reminding them, ever since he was arrested two decades ago. She said Pakistan has never let its convicted prisoners go alive out of the country, instead it encourages the jail inmates to brutally murder them. She has given examples of several such incidents of the past and blamed Indian government for being inactive and inhuman towards her brother’s release. She expressed anguish on the government for its inability to bring her brother alive but now firmly assuring to bring his body. Is it a failure of our external ministry?   Shall we need to blame Pakistan or our own government for being inhuman?

Sarbjit Singh died

  Indian national Sarbjit Singh, who was in deep coma stage since last one week and was declared as ‘Brain Dead’ by the doctors was died on Wednesday midnight in Jinnah Hospital in Pakistan. He was assaulted by inmates in the jail and had brain injury. Recently, his family members were allowed to visit him but couldn’t get access into ICCU to see him closely. Doctors told them that he was brain dead and asked their permission to remove his ventilator support. But, his family members have returned home without giving their consent as they want to shift him to India for better treatment. Probably, Pak government might have given permission to doctors to remove his external supports so as to relieve him from suffering further.

SC nods for CBI investigation against Mayawati

  Former UP Chief Minister and Bahujan Samajwadi party chief Mayawati is again lands in legal troubles with Supreme Court’s latest directions to CBI. The court nods for an investigation into her disproportionate assets (DA) case by CBI on yesterday. The bench of justices P.Sathasivam and Dipak Mishra, which rejects CBI petition for the same purpose earlier, gave nod this time. Giving reasons, the bench said “Earlier (6th July 2012) we have rejected the CBI petition filed against Mayawati because the investigating agency has approached us without understand our orders which are limited to Taj Corridor case only. But, it doesn’t mean that the court is taking away the CBI’s power to proceed against Mayawati in another case like the present one. CBI is free to initiate an investigation into her DA case,” said the Supreme Court bench.   In wake of CBI director Ranji Singh’s latest confession about having influenced by the government for being part of it, Bahujan Samajwadi Party led by Maywati, which is supporting UPA government from outside may understand this development is nothing but Congress conspiracy against her. Hence, even if she withdraws her party support to UPA there is no surprise. Ultimately, these developments highlights the inter-links between CBI, UPA and Mayawati.

TRS suspends Suresh Reddy, Sarangapani

Did CM Kiran has no confidence on his own cabinet?

Is Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy become lonely in his own government and party? Does he not believe his own cabinet ministers or the cabinet has lost confidence in him? Is he launching the welfare schemes for his own propaganda keeping in view of forth coming elections? These questions pop-up soon after he launched his ‘Bangaru Talli’ scheme three days back without consulting or leaving a hint to his cabinet ministers. To begin with PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana has admitted that he is unaware of the scheme details and would like to talk about it only after he go through it. He also admits that he was not consulted by CM or anyone before launching this scheme.   Minister DL Ravindra Reddy is the first to react sharply on this new scheme. He described it just another idea for CM’s propaganda. He also warned that he will ask the people to chase the Congress leaders if any of these schemes are found fake ones.   Minister K. Jana Reddy spits fire on CM Kiran Kumar Reddy for not discussing the matter in the cabinet meeting. “He takes us for granted. He is announcing new schemes on every other day on his own as if wants to elevate his image in the eyes of public. Despite being suggested to discuss and get the cabinet approval he ignores us. He must take the cabinet into consideration while making important decisions like this. He has not consulted the cabinet on issues like approving power tariff hike, Bayyaram mines allotment to Visakha Steel plant etc which ultimately puts the government in troubles and tarnish the party image just ahead of the general elections. He should refrain from making provocative speeches against Telangana issue.”   Probably, many more members like C.Rama chandrayya, Chiranjeevi, T-Congress MPs may join this decedents band wagon in the next few days.

TDP leader meets Jagan Mohan Reddy

  Former Congress MLA Sikamani’s son Mani Gandhi from Kurnool district, who is now in TDP, meets YSR Congress party president YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy at Chanchalguda jail on Wednesday accompanied by YSRCP leaders Bhupal Reddy and Chandrashekar Reddy. Later, speaking to media he said “TDP and Congress parties have joined hands and ruining the state. I believe that Jagan alone can put the state back on to track.”   He is in-charge of Kodumur constituency in Kurnool district. He even actively participated in a cycle rally conducted in the Kurnool city few days back, expressing solidarity to his party president Chandrababu’s padayatra in the state. But, within days he found fault with his party and its president due to unknown reasons. This is the first defection into Jagan’s party from TDP after Chandrababu Naidu concluding his padayatra.

IT raids on TDP leader Ayyanna’s house at Vizag

  In a sudden move, Income Tax officials have raided TDP polit bureau member Chintakayala Ayyanna Patrudu’ house at Ramnagar in Vizag city today and the team is still searching his house. Some important documents were seized in the house.   According to TDP sources Ayyanna is also one among those TDP leaders, who has contributed major share in the arrangements for the recent public meeting held at Vizag on April 27th marking successful completion of Chandrababu padayatra. According to official records, TDP has booked 12 trains, 400 buses and unofficially hundreds of vehicles to transport the people from various places in the state. The grand arrangements for the public meeting alone are estimated to be not less than Rs.25-40 lakhs. Hence, all these hyper activities of TDP leaders might have attracted IT officials to round-up Ayyanna as their first target, otherwise, there are no particular reasons to get attracted to him, who is sitting idle in the remote Narsipatnam town in the district all these days.

DL pinches Kiran over his daily new schemes

  Even while CM Kiran Kumar Reddy strongly believes that his ‘a-scheme-a-day’ will keep the opposition parties away from power’ in the next general elections, his cabinet ministers thinks it otherwise.   The decedent branded minister Dr.DL Ravindra Reddy speaking to media has said “CM has never had the habit of consulting his cabinet ministers in any of the decisions taken by him until now. He adopts the same policy and declares ‘Bangaru Talli’ scheme, which involves hundreds of crores money a year. He neither discussed the matter within cabinet to assess the feasibility of funds nor let the ministers know about his schemes and his plans.   He said "While, he is ignoring several other schemes launched by him in the past, what is the use of coming-up with a new scheme on every other day? Instead, he would have concentrated on his previous schemes and ensured an effective implementation of them which would give an impression that he is really honest with his schemes. He should also understood that whatever schemes that he is announcing these days shouldn’t be intended to improve his ratings and for his propaganda but should serve its purpose. If, the schemes fail to serve its purpose, I will ask the people to chase the Congress leaders from their streets for bluffing them with false promises and schemes.”   Nevertheless, his statement has nothing to conceal about his personal views on Kiran Kumar Reddy’s propaganda in the name of welfare schemes.

Sarabjit Singh is ‘Brain Dead’

  The Indian national Sarbjit Singh, who was assaulted in Pakistan jail by inmates and shifted to Jinnah Hospital five days ago is said to be in brain dead position. Although, Pakistan government has not made any official announcement in this regard, the doctors attending him have told this to his family members, who recently visited him. The doctors have asked their permission to remove him from ventilator. However, Pak government has turned down Sarbajit’s family members and Indian government’s appeals to allow for his shifting to India. Hence, they are returning home on Wednesday, asking both the governments to decide his fate.   Raj Kumar Verka, Vice-chairman of national commission for the scheduled casts, who played key role in securing visas to Sarbajit’s family members, has sharply criticized the Pakistan government and the doctors attending him for keeping them in dark until the family members reaches there. He asked “When they already knew that he is brain dead, then why didn’t they convey the same to us and expatriate him to India.” He flays Pak government for being very inhuman. He demands it to punish the murderers of Sarbjit Singh.

Solicitor General Harin Raval resigns

  Additional solicitor general Harin Raval has resigns today succumbing to pressures generated out of the coal-gate scam report. Earlier, he has lied to the Supreme Court over sharing CBI report with political executives. He asserted that CBI report (on irregularities in allotment of coal blocks) has not been shared with any political executive. But, CBI Director Ranjit Sinha, in his latest affidavit submitted to the court has confessed that the CBI report has been shared with law minister Ashwini Kumar and two other executives of PMO and ministry of Coal.   CBI, which until now is boasting itself as an independent probing agency has dismayed the court with its director Ranjit Singh’s statement, who confessed that CBI is also part and parcel of the government like any other departments and it has certain obligations that force it to share its report with the political executives before it was submitted to Supreme Court. However, he told the court that he will submit an explanation about under which sections he has shared the CBI reports with outsiders.   While, the parliament is rocking with his statement, Harin Raval has fueled it further blaming attorney general GE Vahanavati of influencing the CBI probe into the coal blocks allotments. He even blamed Vahanavati for throwing his weight on several other scam related investigations being conducted by CBI. As the government cornered with his statements, allegations and Ranjit Singh’s confessions to court, Harin has stepped down today.
