Sujana announces good News for AP state

  Union Minister of state for science and technology Y Sujana Chowdary has announced some good news to the people of Andhra Pradesh state. He said that Centre is all set to release first installment of funds Rs.1000 crores within 15 days for the construction of the new capital city of the state. He said Centre is keen to release more funds for the same purpose, but the state should have the capacity to spend that amounts. He said that Centre will bear entire financial burden of constructing major structures and infrastructure development like Assembly, Rajbhavan, High Court, Secretariat, residential colonies for employees and officers during the initial stage.   If, the Centre releases the funds at regular intervals, then the main part of construction of the new capital city may be completed within next four and half years. However, the state government is appealing the Centre to release funds to meet the budget deficit of Rs.16, 000 crore, otherwise it will land in troubles very soon. But, the Centre’s response to Chief Minister’s appeal is not known yet. However, since this announcement from YS Chowdary has come after Chandrababu Naidu meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley recently, one can expect more funds may be released in the near future.

Ponnala endorses his cast factor for his present status

  Telangana PCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah has endorsed that his cast factor has helped him to reach his present status. He attends foundation stone laying ceremony of his community building at Hanmakonda in Warangal district on Friday.   Speaking on the occasion, he said that the political awareness generated in his community people has come as a blessing for him.

But, he may be not sure what he did to his community in return for enjoying its support all these decades. There are lakhs of poor people in his community, who badly need help from leaders like him. But, Ponnala and many leaders like him use the community people as stepping stones to reach the top and often ignore them. But, they preach the necessity of strengthening the community, perhaps hoping it will help him to develop further.

Competition inevitable in Tirupati bye-elections

  TDP has tried to make bye-elections for Tirupati Assembly constituency unanimous in favour of its candidate Sugunamma the widow of TDP MLA Venkata Ramana. It requests the Congress and the YSR Congress parties to let its candidate get elected unanimously without any competition. YSR Congress party has positively responds to its appeal. But, the Congress party has not made-up its mind until now on whether to contest the elections are leave the seat to TDP candidate.   Lok Satta party has fielded its candidate Balasubrahmanyam in the elections. Two independent candidates also have filed their nominations. TDP is reportedly trying to convince all of them to withdraw their nominations in favour of its candidate. If they prefer to stay in the race, then elections will become inevitable.   Actually, people expected that YSR Congress party may not agree to TDP’s proposal because it is desperate to prove that ruling TDP is fast losing its popularity among the people, but it agreed to leave the seat to its rival TDP. Even if Congress, Lok Satta and independents join the race, TDP candidate chances of winning the bye-elections are very fair, because TDP has strong hold on Tirupati constituency and also there is sympathy wave.

Patas Review - Shorted

  ‘Patas’ is all about a daring but corrupt officer Kalyan Sinha (Kalyanram). His is loved by his subordinates as Kalyan encourages corruption. This attitude of Kalyan becomes a headache to DGP (Sai Kumar), and it reaches the next level when our hero teams up with another brutal political GK (Ashutosh Rana). But why did Kalyan Sinha become a corrupt officer? What are the reasons behind this corrupt attitude? Will he transform into a good cop? Well, you need to watch the film on the big screen to know more about ‘Patas’. As they say, good things fall at a place for a hit film, this is the exact case of ‘Patas’. Kalyanram introduced Surender Reddy as a director with Athanokkade and the latter went on to become one of the top directors in Tollywood. Kalyanram’s latest discovery, Anil Ravipudi definitely belongs to the same cadre. It is very important for the director to blend action, comedy and sentiment in a film and Anil Ravipudi has done it with perfection in ‘Patas’. ‘Patas’ is definitely the best performance of Kalyanram in his entire career. It’s been close to a decade since Kalyanram delivered a hit film at the box-office and this fact is definitely a baggage for any director. Kalyanram has excelled as Kalyan Sinha and his full-on energetic mode is one of the major plus points for the film. Routine plot doesn’t bore the audience as the director understood the mass pulse and executed the film according to that. Balakrishna’s references and ‘Arey o Samba’ remix will be a feast for Nandamuri fans.

Is KCR trying to inject his views into children’s mind also?

  Telangana CM KCR’s obsessions for Nizam ruling and his hatred towards Andhra are well known to everyone. He leaves no chance to praise Nizam ruling and criticize Andhra ruling. Hence, he seems is trying to inject his views into next generation also by adding them as lessons in the history subject for the school children. Simultaneously, he is also trying to educate the next generation about his hard efforts and agitations for Telangana state creation.   However, as if to avoid criticism from opposition parties, the lesson on Telangana struggle will cover all the agitations taken place between 1969-2014, including KCR’s hunger strike and consequent developments. According to available information, the lesson will cover everyone who fought for the cause including, Sakala Janaula Samme, students and youth sacrifices etc. There will be elaborate notes about various development activities like constructing educational institutions, Hospitals, Irrigation Projects etc. built during Nizam ruling.   The lessons will also cover Telangana revolutionists A Ramachandra Reddy, Doddi Mallaiah, Chakali Ilamma, Nalla Narasimhulu, A. Kamaladevi, Mugdhum Mohinudeen, and Shek Bandagi etc. and their fight between 1946 and 1951. It may also have Jai Telangana agitation 1969, Mulki rules, Gentlemen agreement and its violation, Andhra leaders’ conspiracies against Telangana state creation. There is nothing wrong if mentioned about Telangana struggle, but may be criticized if KCR plans to project himself as father of Telangana as boasted by TRS party.

Who is wrong? Anna Hazare or Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi?

  No doubt Anna Hazare, the founder of India against Corruption (IAC) has introduced Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi to politics with his popular agitations for Jan Lokpal bill and fight against corruption. His motto is to eliminate corruption in the politics and from the government administration with agitations. He opposes joining active politics or contesting elections.   Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi also followed his policy and principles but they both depart from him one by one in the course of time. First, Arvind Kejriwal left him in 2012 to launch his Aam Admi party and recently Kiran Bedi left Anna to join BJP.   They both used to criticize the BJP and Congress parties in the past. But, now Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi both are criticizing each other and they both criticizing the Congress party also. Anna Hazare also criticizes them both, ofcourse BJP and the Congress parties also.   So, all these developments may make the people think who is right and who is wrong in these three persons. Has Anna Hazare adopted a wrong policy by restricting himself and his followers from joining active politics, with which his followers are departing him? Or have Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi used Anna Hazare’s popularity and his IAC platform to become popular before implementing their political ideas?   Anna Hazare has stated that they both not given any slightest hint about their interest to join active politics before they leaves him. So, he seems is believing that they both have used him as a stepping stone to reach their present position.   But, can anyone agree that his policy to eliminate corruption from the country without participating in the democratic process is correct? If not, what else anyone can do to achieve that goal? If, Anna Hazare believes that taking part in democratic process is a sin, can anyone cling to him? If so, Anna Hazare has to be blamed for their departure. Would he launch a political party instead of IAC forum and encouraged his followers to contest elections probably it would have yield him better results than this painful experiences.   However, Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi both also have made some mistakes. Arvind Kejriwal accepts the Congress party support to become Chief Minister of Delhi and Kiran Bedi joins the BJP to become Chief Minister of Delhi, which they used to criticize earlier. Would they really have high morals, they would have avoided both BJP and the Congress parties and joined hands to fight them.   So, these three leaders have committed some mistakes and adopt some wrong policies knowingly or unknowingly. However, people have to excuse them all as they are much honest than any other typical politicians in the country.

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah died

  Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah (90) passed away at 1am on Friday. He was ailing with health problems since last few months. His half-brother Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (79), who was named as his successor by him earlier, has become Saudi Arabia’s King now. Country will observe three days mourning for the death of its King.   King Abdullah had brought several reforms in the country during his tenure. The womenfolk in the country who were forbidden to have education and to work in the offices, institutions and media have been allowed during his regime. For the first time in the country’s history, he let co-education in the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, which opened in 2009.   For the first time in the country’s history, his government grants permission to some female lawyers to work in the courts. For the first time in the country’s history, he allowed women to share some seats in the Shura Council, an unelected body that advises the king and government. He also promised to conduct first ever municipal elections in the country in 2015 and to let the women contest in them. He let two female athletes from the country to participate in the Olympics in 2012. He also appointed country’s first ever deputy minister in his government in year 2009. So, the womenfolk in the country may feel very sorry for his death.   He was also a strong partner to US in its fight against Al-Qaeda terrorists. Though, he supports US for its military operations on Iraq to nab its president Saddam Hussein, later he stressed for withdrawal of US army from Iraq.   Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tweets: In King Abdullah, we have lost an important voice who left a lasting impact on his country. I condole his demise. Our thoughts are with the people of Saudi Arabia, who have lost a guiding force in King Abdullah, during this hour of grief.

He has proved himself as a successful businessman and is adding silver lining to his TDP by introducing several new ideas like creating welfare fund for the party workers, providing insurance coverage to the active members of the party, using latest technology to reach the people and party workers etc.   Though he was expected to contest in the general elections held in the last year, he limits himself to campaign and so as to ensure victory for the party. However, he declared that he will contest in the next elections. Currently, he is serving as coordinator of the party workers’ welfare fund. He plans to focus full attention on his party in the Telangana state to strengthen it before next general elections.   TDP leaders and party workers from Andhra and Telangana states are also grandly celebrating his birthday by conducting blood donation camps etc. Teluguone wishes him a very Happy Birthday and a grand success in his personal and political life.

Will Congress ever admit and realize its mistakes?

  Congress party shocked to hear its senior leader Janardhan Dwivedhi is praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said a new ear has begun after Narendra Modi takes charge as Prime Minister of the country. He said the country is now spearheading in right direction.   Obviously, Congress high command finds it very hard to digest, as Modi is the one who clinched its fortune and future as well. If, Modi was not there in the elections battle, probably Congress chances of retaining power at Centre may be bright and Rahul Gandhi would have been ruling the country in place of Narendra Modi now. So, it seeks an explanation from Janardhan for praising Modi. He tried to convince his high command that he doesn’t mean to praise Narendra Modi, but just wanted to say Modi era has begun in the BJP. But, Congress high command felt that his statement is sending a wrong message to the people that Modi ruling is far better than UPA ruling.   So, its official spokesperson Ajay Makan came to media and stated “Several welfare and development activities initiated by our UPA government in the country have come to a grinding halt after Modi take reins of the country. His government is putting more efforts on communal issues rather than development activities, because it is working under influence of RSS its offshoot organizations.”   Hence, it is understood that Congress high command is still believes that its 10 years of corrupted ruling was a golden era in the Indian history. It may not accept the bitter fact that several scams have taken place during its regime with which it not only lost power but also ruined the country’s reputation among the international community. Whether it accepts this fact or not, CBI questioning former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on coal blocks allocation scam is a fine testimony of its worst ruling. If, the Congress high command pretends as if it has not noticed what people of the country are thinking about its ruling and continues to bluff itself, probably it may never get a chance to return to power anywhere in the country.

Ace comedian MS Narayana’s condition is serious

  It is quite unfortunate to hear some news-hungry channels have reported that ace comedian MS Narayana was died, whereas he is undergoing dialysis treatment in KIMS Hospital and also spoke to his co-actors Brahmanandam and Rao Ramesh a short while ago. His son Vikram, who is also Tollywood actor express grief for spreading rumors about his father. He admitted that his father’s condition is critical but still there are fair chances for his recovery. He appealed the media not to kill his father when he is alive.   MS Narayana become sick with food poisoning during his stay at Bhimavaram on the eve of Pongal festival. He was moved to Ayush Hospital in Vijayawada and then to KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad one week ago. Ever since, several rumors are circulating in the media about his health condition.

YCP not to contest in Tirupati bye-elections

  YSR Congress party has decided to stay away from bye-elections for Tirupati Assembly seat following the tradition of leaving the seat to the family member of the deceased. Bye-elections necessitated with the sudden death of TDP MLA Venkata Ramana. TDP has allotted the seat to his widow Sugunamma and appealed the Congress and YSR Congress parties to let its candidate for unanimously election. YSR Congress party leader Bhoomana Karunakar Reddy said his party has agreed to TDP’s appeal and decided to stay away from the bye-elections.   However, Congress party has not taken any decision yet. It contested in the last two bye-elections ignoring the sentiment and tradition but was defeated in both elections. So, it also may stay away from these bye-elections. If so, TDP candidate Sugunamma’s victory may win the elections un-opposed.

Thanks Modiji: CM KCR

  Telangana CM KCR thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for swiftly reacting to his appeal for medical help. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Health Minister JP Nadda both have positively responds to his appeal for help to control the Swine Flu disease that grips the twin cities. He said they both promised to send medicines and specialist doctors teams in a day or two to Hyderabad to assist the state government.   He said there is no need to scare about Swine Flu disease. It can be prevented by taking some precautions. He said those people having cold and fever for more than three days should immediately take treatment and avoid coming out of their homes until they are fully recovered. It can prevent spreading of Swine Flu to others said CM KCR. He asked the media not to scare the people narrating about the Swine Flu cases and deaths, instead educate the people about its symptoms, precautions to be taken and about nearest medical treatment. He admitted that so far 19 persons have died with this Swine Flu disease.

Court annoyed for sparing MLAs and MLCs from disqualification

  It is unfortunate to see some constitutional organizations are unable to do their duties on their own, unless the courts are intervened and serve warnings. Whether it is CBI or state government board or an Assembly speaker, it appears there is necessity for a constant monitoring of their activities by the courts.   Congress party MLCs Rajalingam, Bhanu Prasad, Jagadish Reddy and Amos have joined TRS. Similarly, TDP MLAs Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Dharma Reddy and Teegala Krishna Reddy have joined TRS party. But none of them have quit their posts until now. However, the Speaker and Chairman of legislative houses have not bothered to disqualify them despite TDP and Congress party’s appeals and several reminders. So, both parties have dragged them to the court.   The High Court expresses anguish on them both for ignoring the constitutional procedures. It asks the Attorney General of Telangana government to submit their explanation in this regard before 27th of this month.   Now, only two options left for them. Either they all have to quit their posts immediately otherwise let them disqualified. Speaker and Chairman may not afford to prolong their decision any further otherwise they have to appear before the court with explanations for the same. So, all those MLAs and MLCs of TDP and Congress party may quit their posts immediately to avoid this embarrassing situation in the court.

Parliament Budget Sessions Schedule announced

  Parliament budget sessions will commence from February 23rd. They will be held in two phases. During the first phase, Railways budget will be presented on 26th, Financial survey on 27th and the General budget will be presented on February 28th. The first sessions will conclude on March 20th. Again, parliament will assemble on April 20th and the sessions will continue till May 8th.   As promised earlier, Modi government has bring down the inflation and shown some improvement in GDP. Markets are also galloping with profits and international community has acknowledged the visible improvement. The sharp fall of Petroleum prices in the international market has also come as a blessing for Modi government. Although, it doesn't transfer its full benefit to the people by reducing petrol diesel and gas prices, the steady prices of these products make the people feel happy. The additional revenue that it pockets by increasing the excise duty on these products, brings the government an unexpected wealth. So, the  financial condition of the government is also very fair now.    NDA government can also boast about its efforts in implementing Swachcha Bharath, Jan Dhan Yojana, Make in India, Digital India and Samsad Adarsh Gram Yojana etc. programs.   So, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley may claim its full credit to his government. Moreover, the subsequent victories in the Assembly elections held in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and partial victory in Jammu and Kashmir State helps to elevate the NDA government status in the parliament, while the Congress party shrinks further. If, BJP wins Delhi Assembly elections also Congress may not be in a position to criticize the NDA government on any point in the budget. However, all the regional parties in northern India may unite under its leadership to cross swords with NDA government, but they will not be matching to it any way.

Chandrababu to visit Warangal in February

  T-TDP president L Ramana told the media that Chandrababu Naidu will visit Warangal in the next month. His son Nara Lokesh also may accompany him during his visit to the district. Since, this is announced by party president of the Telangana state, it is to be considered as confirmed official announcement. It is not any big secret that Chandrababu Naidu’s tour is intended to strengthen the party in Telangana state.   His tour may help the party or may not, but certainly it may irk the TRS party chief KCR, who is desperately trying to wipe off the TDP from Telangana state. So, he may definitely encourage his TRS party cadres to make protests in his tour. But, it will provide an opportunity to TDP to ask why the TRS is remaining silent when YS Sharmila is conducting Paramarsha Yatra in the Telangana state. Sharmila will resume her Paramarsha Yatra from Devarakonda in Nalgonda district from January 21st. She will visit Hujur Nagar, Kodhada, Miryalaguda, Nagarjuna Sagar and Suryapeta constituencies during her one week tour. So, TRS should come with an answer in case if it plans to make protests in Chandrababu Naidu’s visit.   It would be interesting to know whether Telangana BJP wing will extend its full support to him during his tour or simply stays away. BJP may stay awa from his tour because it is planning to go alone in thenext general elections. If, BJP extends its full support to his tour, then TRS may not dare to create any hurdles in his tour.

Krishnaiah also ready to jump fence?

  TDP MLA R Krishnaiah seems is prepared to jump into TRS party very soon. He has been gradually distancing from the party as he is feeling not getting his due respect in the party. He met Telangana CM KCR on Monday to appeal him grant sufficient funds for BC welfare and to discuss other issues related to his BC community. He said that CM KCR has promised him to resolve all the issues raised by him.   However, it may be an excuse to meet CM KCR to discuss about his admission into TRS party. Otherwise, no opposition leader or MLA will meet rival party president with such excuses. But, it is very surprising to see TDP lose him to rival TRS party despite knowing about his strong back ground as BC community leader.   In case, if TDP loses him to TRS, obviously it will send a wrong message to BC community both in AP and Telangana states. If he joins TRS party, it will help TRS party to strengthen its base from grass root level as majority of the BC population concentrated in the rural areas in the Telangana state.   If, Krishnaiah looses interest in TDP for any reasons, then it is wise to choose BJP than the TRS party, because he can’t expect any special treatment in TRS.

Who may win in Delhi elections? BJP or AAP?

  BJP has declared former IPS officer Kiran Bedi as party’s Chief Minister Candidate for Delhi. It takes two decades for Narendra Modi to be nominated as party’s Prime Minister Candidate. Then also he faces many challenges from within and outside, but he managed to overcome all those problems and become Prime Minister of the country. But, Kiran Bedi is quite fortunate to get such a wonderful chance within four days after joining the BJP.   Earlier, during the previous elections in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal was able to fetch significant number of seats in the Delhi Assembly because there is anti-Congress mood prevailed all over the country and there was dilemma in the BJP over Modi’s elevation. But, now there is no such political vacuum prevailing at Centre and of course there is Modi’s strong influence on the people now. So, there are very fair chances for Kiran Bedi led BJP to win the elections.   So far, it was a fight between Arvind Kejriwal and BJP. But now it is a straight fight between him and Kiran Bedi. She has several plus points when compares to Arvind Kejriwal. Her clean image and good reputation as a former police officer gives her edge over Aam Admi party leader Arvind Kejriwal. She had won several prestigious awards for her honesty and efficiency in duties whereas Arvind Kejriwal is begging the people of Delhi for pardon now for quitting the government within 49 days in his previous term. Moreover, people of Delhi are aware that being a former police officer she can control the crime in Delhi, whereas Arvind Kejriwal may stage dharnas if problems arise.   The most important point is that Kiran Bedi government can give a stable government and also enjoys the full co-operation from the NDA government whereas if Arvind Kejriwal is elected to power he may dedicate his full time to cross swords with Modi government. So, people of Delhi may prefer to elect Kiran Bedi led BJP to power in the upcoming elections slated for February 7th.

TDP MLA ready for jump?

  TDP MLA Prakash Goud from Rajendra Nagar in Ranga Reddy district gives a strong hint to jump fence very soon. He said, “I am ready to join TRS party if CM KCR grants Rs.350 crores funds for development of my constituency and provides drinking water to every house. Telangana government moving in right direction but still there is no progress in supplying of drinking water to every house. If, both my demands are met, I am ready to join TRS otherwise there is no use of changing parties.”   Prakasham Goud was elected from Rajendra Nagar constituency for second time. So, he might be expecting some key post in the party or government if TRS is interested in him. CM KCR may encourage him to join TRS party because he may helpful to the party in the upcoming GHMC elections. Once any leader or MLA makes such a media statement, then it is just a matter of time to jump fence. Though, it is very painful to TDP, it can write him off from the party.
