What is he mean by setting target-70 to AP leaders?

  BJP president Amit Shah has not only sets huge target of enrolling 45 lakhs new members for the party leaders of the AP state but also sets 70 MLAs target for 2019 general elections, which clearly hints about his intentions. But, at the same time it is also indicating that he still would like to go along with TDP in 2019 general elections. If, the state BJP leadership could make it to that number, then it can demand its alliance partner TDP for more seats or can go alone to the elections.   Earlier, he told the media that his party will role red carpet to any leader who respects the party leadership and its policies. So, the target-70 might be about attracting other party leaders or MLAs. Amit Shah has given them necessary guidelines on how to achieve that target. But, they are reported to be told him that may not be able to reach his target of enrolling 45 lakhs new members in the state.   They may have their own reasons and problems for it, but Amit Shah has make their eyes open. He told them that BJP has managed to reach the targets in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal despite the state governments there are strongly resisting its efforts, whereas in the AP, BJP is part of the state government and also its alliance partner. Hence, the state BJP leaders have to strive hard to reach his targets, if they are really serious about their tall claims.

T-Congress is in deep sleep?

  Telangana Congress leaders often used to wake-up very late. Before they wake-up, TRS president convinced the people of Telangana that he and his party deserve the credit of Telangana state formation. Then only, T-Congress leaders’ have jumped into action carrying Sonia Gandhi photos in hands. But, they realized it was too late to claim the credit. So, it has been deposited into KCR’s account.   Even, then they couldn’t find time to claim their due share of Telangana state creation, because they all are preoccupied with lobbying for T-PCC President Post and party tickets to their near and dear ones in New Delhi. By the time they all wake-up, KCR and his leaders have been tapping the Telangana sentiment by making provocative statements against Andhra employees, people and politicians.   Then the T-Congress leaders were in a big dilemma whether to defend the Andhra people settled in Hyderabad or to sing chorus with KCR. But, they made a wrong step by criticizing KCR that helps him to claim himself as the lone savior of Telangana.   During the peak of the elections campaigning period, all the T-Congress leaders were busy crossing swords with their newly elected PCC President Ponnala Lakshmaiah, instead of joining him to cross swords with their rival parties. Then they woke-up to hear that they were defeated in the elections.   People may expect that they will realize their mistakes and do some teamwork to strengthen the party. If they did so, they won’t be eligible to be called as true Congress men. So, they continue their cat-fights for T-PCC President Post and other small posts in the party, while ignoring that TDP is gaining political mileage by criticizing TRS government failure to handle the power crisis situation and on farmers’ suicides. Then only they also kick start a bus yatra to console the bereaved family members of the farmers.   CM KCR and his ministers were engaged in a bitter fight with the Andhra Pradesh government over sharing of power and water and many other issues. But, then the T-Congress leaders were in deep sleep. So, TRS government not only able to divert the attention of the people from its failures onto these cat-fights with AP government but also emerges as the only savior of them. Even, then T-Congress leaders fail to wake-up from their deep sleep. Their party high command has to press panic alarm in their ears about the miserable party situation.   But, Shabbier Ali the vice-president of the party of Telangana state only wake up from his sleep and rest of the leaders are still dozing.Probably, they may be inspired with their party vice president Rahul Gandhi, who take a nap in the Loksabha sittng in the back benches.   Shabbier Ali, pulls out a lengthy list of promises made by the CM KCR and shouted at him when and how he will full all his promises. Then he shouts at AP government for creating hurdles in Telangana state development and asked AP CM Chandrababu Naidu to leave the city at the earliest. He may be expecting that it will be enough to ensure his party wins the GHMC elections. Hope he will not return to his bed again before GHMC elections commencement.    

Shabbier Ali straight question to CM KCR

  Telangana Congress leaders, who until now are indulged in a cat-fight for PCC president Post, have diverted their attention on to the TRS government and it’s Chief Minister KCR, after being warned by their party high command of serious action.   State Congress vice-president Shabbier Ali has come up with a lengthy list of CM KCR’s promises and asked him when and how he will implement all those tall promises and from where he tap huge funds for them.   He reminds him about his promises of cleansing Hussein Sagar Lake, high rise builds around it, developing Vinayak Sagar, world’s tallest building at Indira Park, elevated express high ways in Hyderabad city, another airport on the north side of the city.   Constructing Film city, Sports city, Educational city at Rachakonda, Thermal power plant in Nalgonda district, Textile park in Warangal, New building for Ravindra Bharathi, converting Adilabad district into another Kashmir, developing Yadagirigutta like another Vatican city, India’s tallest Hanuman statue on it.   He also reminds him about his tall promises of developing Kareem Nagar like New York City, developing Hyderabad like Silicon Valley, developing Hyderabad city into hardware and IT hub, shifting of Chanchalguda jail, Race course and military camps from the city limits, creating four new districts and formation of technology development bank etc.   However, he also forgets hundred other promises like crop loan waiver, pensions to all deserved, two bed room houses to people below poverty line, three acres of land to each family of SC, ST and tribals, regularization of 125 square land to the poor people in the twin cities.   There are some serious missions like Mission Kakateeya, fees reimbursement to Telangana students under FAST scheme, Hyderabad metro project completion, uninterrupted power supply within three years and many more. So, CM KCR and the concerned ministers have to answer all these questions if they have any idea about how and when their government is going to fulfill all these promises.

Governor’s Rule in J&K State likely

  The stalemate in Jammu and Kashmir State is still continuing as the two major players People’s Democratic Party and BJP couldn’t come to consensus on alliance. PDP need to be blamed for it as it sets several conditions that are against the Indian government policy. It demands resume talks with Kashmiri separatists Hurriyat leaders and Pakistan government. It also demands with drawl of special powers to the armed forces in the valley. PDP wants to Chief Minister Post to itself for full term and wants the BJP settle in the back seat. None of its terms are acceptable to the BJP. So, it refuses to extend its support to the PDP.   While the stalemate is continuing, Omar Abdullah who is running the government as a care-taker Chief Minister has informed the Governor NN Vohra that he can’t continue any further as he sees no scope of government formation in the near future. So, Governor recommends the Home Minister Rajnath Singh to impose Governor’s Rule in the state immediately keeping in view of the stalemate and the crisis situation at boarders. Hence, Central government may take a decision very soon.

Amit Shah’s analysis about TRS, BJP strengths and weaknesses

  BJP president Amit Shah educates his party leaders of the Telangana state about how the TRS party was able to win and why the BJP was defeated in the elections. He told them that TRS won the elections merely basing upon Telangana sentiment and with the strength of few leaders, although it has no strong foundation.   He told them that TRS is moving close with MIM only to win the hearts of the Muslim community. It is encouraging other party’s leaders and some individuals to join it to strengthen itself and to weaken its rival parties in the state, instead of strengthening its foundations from grass root level.   BJP is winning in north India because it has strong foundation from grass root level and a dedicated workforce. A political party must have dedicated workforce and certain goals to achieve anything, but TRS lacks both. So, it would not be difficult to defeat such party if BJP strengthens its foundations from grass root level,” said Amit Shah.   He discussed with his party leaders about the party strengths, weaknesses, party strategies implemented by it during elections period and analyzed the reasons for the party defeat. He gave them necessary guidelines to strengthen the party in the state and to face the upcoming GHMC elections. If, BJP leaders could follow what he is saying and implement his ideas, probably BJP may emerge as a strong alternative in both states.

Is Jagan playing mind games with TDP?

  It seems YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy is playing mind game with TDP once again. Recently, his party MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy brings the farmers of Penumaka and Nidamarru to Hyderabad to meet him. Then he assured them that his party will fight with the state government on their behalf to stop it from taking their lands.   Those farmers who met him at Hyderabad, have come to Vijayawada today to meet BJP president Amit Shah to appeal him to tell the state government not to take their lands. Generally, farmers won’t think about such ideas unless they are encouraged by some political parties or leaders. They went to Hyderabad only because CP MLA’s initiative. Even, farmers of rest of the villages also went to Hyderabad to meet CM Chandrababu Naidu because of TDP leaders’ initiative. So, YCP that assures them to fight for their cause might have encouraged them to meet BJP President Amit Shah.   Amit Shah’s purpose of visit to the state is to strengthening the party. So, he may not refuse to meet the farmers. If he is convinced with their arguments and suggests the AP government to think over their appeal, TDP can’t afford to turn down his suggestion. But, at the same time it also can’t agree to his suggestion. So, it may create an awkward situation between the two parties. YCP may be playing mind game with both parties grabbing this opportunity.   But, Amit Shah can handle this kind of mind games very easily. He may take a memorandum from the farmers and hand it over to his party minister Kamineni Srinivas, who is known to be very close aide of AP CM Chandrababu Naidu.

Can Sharmila save the YSRCP in TS?

  YS Sharmila, who was entrusted the difficult task of strengthening the party in Telangana state, is gearing for second round of Paramarsha Yatra from January 21st. This time she will visit bereaved family members during her seven day visit in the Nalgonda district and remaining families in February. YSR party working president Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy has announced this today.   But, the question is that can she save and strengthen the party in Telangana merely with her Paramarsha Yatras, when one by one all its leaders are quitting the party? Hardly there are any leaders left for the party in the Telangana state. The only one MLA Payam Venkateswarulu is also ready to bid good bye to the party very soon.   Earlier, she takes pains to walk 3000 km in both states to strengthen the party. However, her efforts wasted with her brother Jagan Mohan Reddy’s peculiar strategies. YSRCP was virtually wiped off from Telangana state after her brother Jagan jumps out of it overnight and catches Samaikyandhra agitation. Although, his agitations are intended to win the hearts of the people of AP state and to bag their votes in the general elections, his idea proved to be fatal for the party in the Telangana state. There are no leaders for the party and people of the state also not believe it now.   So, YSRCP’s plan to return to the state in this prevailing situation obviously making the people suspect about intentions and plans. TRS party’s silence over her Paramarsha Yatras and her cool approach towards it is also raising those suspicions.

Australia sounds high alert for India

  Earlier, the US government has alerted India about possible terrorists’ attacks on Delhi international airport, on some hotels and bridges in Delhi. It helps the police and investigating agencies to nab two suspected persons from Noida and one from Bangalore. They revealed that around ten terrorists roaming in New Delhi to make explosions on Republic Day.   Now Australian government sounds also an alert. It warns a possible Mumbai type terror attacks on Mumbai very soon. Australian government asks its citizens to cancel their trips to India especially to Mumbai and Kashmir. According to some reports, some unidentified persons have pasted notices in some places in Mumbai that terrorists will attack on January 10th. So, police are conducting thorough search in all metro cities. But, people all over the country also should stay high alert.

Why BJP has failed in Telangana?

  BJP President Amit Shah is very upset with the poor performance by his party Telangana leaders. He seeks their explanation for not taking active part in the party membership enrolment drive. He sets them a target of 30 lakh members which is beyond their reach. He asked why they have failed to cash in the credit of creating separate state, when BJP has supported it. Amit Shah asked the party leaders to do teamwork to win the GHMC Elections. BJP President Amit Shah is very upset with the poor performance by his party Telangana leaders. He seeks their explanation for not taking active part in the party membership enrolment drive. He sets them a target of 30 lakh members which is beyond their reach.   But, everyone knows that BJP-TDP combo couldn’t win because of the strong Telangana sentiment created by the TRS president KCR. Even, the Congress party that carves the Telangana state couldn’t withstand his pressures. So, there is no use of blaming any BJP leader.   Although, appears to be very strong in the Telangana state, none of its leaders are no way matching to CM KCR and his talkative family members. Hardly, there are one or two leaders in the BJP, who can speak effortlessly on any issue. So, first BJP has to identify such strong leaders, who can withstand and face CM KCR. So if it could identify and encourage such leaders in the party then they may create a strong work force for the party otherwise Kishan Reddy alone can achieve nothing.

Purandeswari found fault with TDP government

  Former Union Minister and BJP leader Purandeswari has found fault with AP government. She objects the state government for claiming full credit of implementing various welfare schemes and projects in which the NDA government is also contributing funds.   Addressing the party workers at Pedanandipadu in Guntur district, she said “NDA government is also funding for old age pension schemes implemented by the state government. It is also providing huge funds to all states for constructing latrines for every poor family. It is funding 90 per cent cost of the Polavaram Project in the AP state. It has granted uninterrupted power supply pilot project to the AP state. But, the state government is claiming full credit of all those welfare schemes and projects. So, BJP workers should campaign about our party and central government contribution in such programs and projects.”   There is a general opinion among the people of the state that NDA government is not helping the state as it was expected to be. For example, even seven months after formation of state and central governments, several promises like Railway Zone, Special status, industrial corridor from Vizag to Chennai etc. are were not granted till date. People think that the state BJP leaders are also not taking any initiative to stress their party high command to fulfill all the promises made to the state in the AP Reorganization Bill-2014.   Their ignorance or failure to highlight such points mentioned by Purandeswari helps to develop negative opinion among the people. This kind of negative feeling against NDA government is very harmful to BJP’s political interests in the state. If, BJP is really serious to strengthen itself and emerge as alternate political power in the state, all its leaders should campaign about the central government contribution in the state development.   In fact, her criticism is not intended to hurt the TDP but a wake-up call to the state BJP leaders. The ruling TDP government also should realize that it should share the credit of developing the state with the BJP to avert such criticism from its alliance partner and that will encourage them to pressurize the central government.

MLC Rudraraju Padmaraju to join TDP

  Congress party that is awaiting a strong jolt with BJP president Amit Shah’s arrival to AP and Telangana states got one before his arrival. Its senior most leader and official spokesperson MLC Rudraraju Padamaraju has decided to join TDP very soon. He has been serving the Congress party for last 3 decades but leaving the party as sees no hope for it in the state. AP PCC President Raghuveera Reddy has tried to convince him not to snap ties with the party, but he decides to quit the party. TDP president Chandrababu Naidu is reported to be welcomed him into the party. So, he may officially announce his decision tomorrow.   Congress party should be prepared to receive many more shocks on tomorrow and day after tomorrow as some of its senior leaders are likely jump into the BJP in the presence of its president Amit Shah. There were reports about Marri Shashidar Reddy, Danam Nagendar and some others in Telangana are planning to join TRS party.

Are TDP Leaders over reacting to Jagan’s remarks?

  TDP leaders and some ministers of the AP state government are sharply reacting to YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy’s prediction about TDP government collapsing within two years. Somireddy Chandra Mohan Reddy asked him to disclose the name of the astrologer who predicted this or reveal who is conspiring to topple the government. Minister Raghunatha Reddy has predicted that Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is facing 11 CBI charge sheets, will definitely go to jail within two years. Several others of the party and the state government also have criticized him similarly for his predictions.   However, they seem to be giving unnecessary importance to his meaningless statement with their overreaction. Their strong reaction is developing curiosity in the people to know what Jagan has stated about TDP government. But, Somireddy question to Jagan is hinting that TDP is suspecting that Jagan Mohan Reddy might be conspiring to topple the government. Probably, that is why he asked Jagan whether he or someone else is conspiring behind. TDP has to find itself about it and shouldn’t expect him or anyone to disclose about the conspiracy.   However, Jagan Mohan Reddy may be very much pleased see them all alarmed with his small remark and for reacting so sharply. In fact, they gave him a clue that they are very much worried with his remark. So, he may keep pinching the state government whenever he find himself cornered by them.

Conditions applies to free housing scheme: T-Government

  Providing two bed room houses to every poor family is one of the many elections promises made by the TRS Chief KCR. He reiterated his promise even till recent past. However, Indrakaran Reddy, minister for housing has stated that conditions apply to the free housing scheme.   He said “We have estimated that it will cost Rs.4.5 lakh for constructing a two-bed room house in 490 square feet area. Keeping in view of financial constraints, government will pay Rs.3.5 lakhs and the beneficiaries have to pay Rs.1lakh only.”   Earlier, the Congress government was used to provide ‘Indiramma Illu’ to the poor people in urban and rural areas also. Under this scheme, government provides Rs 45,000 to Rs 70,000 in rural areas and from Rs 55,000 to Rs 80,000 in urban areas for the poor people in the upper casts and backward classes and Rs.1.2 lakh in urban and rural areas to the poor people in the SC and ST categories.   Then, KCR has asked how the Congress government expects a four or five member family to live in a small single bed room flats? So, he offered to provide two-bed room houses to all the poor people in the state totally at free of cost. But, now he seems has realized that his promise is costlier than his crop loans waiver promise. So, his government is now trying to reduce the financial burden by transferring part of it on to the poor people.   Now, it is Congress party’s turn to ask him how his government is expecting the poor people to pay Rs.1 lakh and why is putting such conditions when he promised to offer them at free of cost. TDP leader Ravula Chandrashekar Reddy and former minister DK Aruna opine that CM KCR is trying to escape from one by one of all his elections promises. They said there is no surprise if the Telangana government links this scheme to Aadhar or some other system to narrow down the beneficiaries.

Amma Cement @ Rs.190 per bag launched in TN

  Despite losing power and being disqualified to contest any elections, former CM of Tamilnadu state Jayalalitha’s influence on her ruling AIADMK party and the state government remain unquestionable proves her die-hard loyalist and the present CM of the Tamilnadu state O Panneer Salvam by launching ‘Amma Cement’ in the state two days ago.   The actual price of each cement bag in the market is around Rs.300, but the state government will supply the same at subsidized rate of Rs.190 per bag to the poor and middle class section people. Need not to say it makes a large difference for the weaker and middle class sections of the society.   During her regime, she has launched many products like Amma Mineral Water, Amma Tea powder, Amma Sault etc. that glorifies her image among the poor and middle class sections of the society. Her ‘Amma Canteens’ launched all over the state during her regime have further glorified her image.   AP Government inspired with her Amma Canteens has planned to introduce the same in the AP state as Anna Canteens, but still it couldn’t complete the necessary arrangements and basic infrastructure to run the canteens.

NTR Statue to be installed in River Krishna

  AP Government is reportedly planning to install a huge statue of late NTR in the Krishna River, just like Buddha statue installed in Hussein Sagar Lake in Hyderabad. CM Chandrababu Naidu believes that it will make his fans, party followers and the people of the state very happy and also it will become a major tourist attraction of the state.   According to available information, he wants the statue to be installed facing the upcoming capital city. There are also proposals to develop a small island in the river for this purpose so as tourists can spend some time there. However, this plan is not yet finalized. Chandrababu Naidu is reported to be put this proposal for discussion by the party senior leaders and the members of his government. If, they back his proposal, he may give nod for this project also. However, the government should remember what the High Court and Supreme Court are saying about installing statues of political leaders and hoardings, otherwise it will be inviting fresh troubles.

I will be thankful to my brother always for it: Pawan Kalyan

  Chiranjeevi Although, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan politically differ with each other, they still respect each other like ever before. It was revealed during ‘Gopala Gopala’ movie audio release function held at Shilparamam in Hyderabad yesterday.   Speaking on the occasion, Pawan Kalyan said “I will remember my elder brother Chiranjeevi’s advice as long as I live. I used to dedicate all my time for practicing Yoga and meditation before joining film industry. One day, when I tried to explain about the importance and good things about Yoga and Meditation to him, his reply makes me realize what the life is and how to live it.”   “Then he told me “You can tell any stories as long as I keep sweating in film profession and your sister-in-law is feeding you. You will realize the sweetness of the life only when you also strive hard and achieve something.”   “I felt his reply like a slap on my face. I will not forget his advice in my life. I am very thankful to him for making me realize what the life is and for guiding me towards my goal.”   “I will honestly effort to achieve my goals. Either it may be in films or politics. But, I believe success and failures are not in our hands. They are controlled by the god alone. I think my duty is to put sincere efforts and leave the rest to the god. I believe in god and humbly accept whatever he offers me. I have never asked him for any favours before, but after seeing my fans are feeling very sorry for my frequent failures then only I prayed the god to give me a hit.”   Pawan Kalyan always spells his mind very honestly about any matter. Perhaps, that is why his fans love him so much.
