Political parties find fault in others not in self?

  The TRS, YCP and The Congress parties are strongly criticizing the TDP and its Chief Chandrababu Naidu for demoralizing the democratic values taking cue from Revanth Reddy’s issue. Of course, such practices need to be strongly condemned. But, are they all maintaining moral values to uphold the democracy value?   People are aware that the ruling TRS party is encouraging the MLAs of opposition parties to jump fence offering them minister posts or something else. It attracts 4 MLAs each from TDP and Congress parties during its one year of ruling. Although, they all joined the TRS party, still they are continuing as MLAs of their mother parties. Instead of asking them to quit their MLA posts, TRS not only allowed them to continue as MLAs but also allowed them to vote for its MLC candidates today.   Just two days back, it attracts TDP Kukatpalli MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao into the party merely to make sure its 5th candidate win the MLC elections. IT Minister K Taraka Rama Rao justified admitting other party MLAs into the party. Hence, it is very strange to watch the TRS leaders criticizing the TDP, when they don’t find anything wrong with their own practices.   There is no need to explain about corrupt practices of the Congress party. The people of the country have kicked it out from the power merely because for its corrupt practices. People may not need any re-introduction of Jagan Mohan Reddy’s disproportionate assets cases, the 11 charge sheets filed against him and about several IAS officers, who were badly affected with his corrupt practices. However, the three major political players believe that they alone are serene and all others are bad guys.

TS to dole out boons for poor

The government is all set to announce special schemes to meet the issues of people in semi-urban and rural areas to ward off criticism that some of its polices in the first year were “urban-centric” and revolved around Hyderabad and other cities like Warangal and Karimnagar.   Youth and student-centric policies are also likely to be announced by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao during his address at Parade Grounds on the occasion of the first anniversary of the TS Formation Day on June 2.   Mr Rao has wished to fulfill the huge expectations, but the delay in bifurcation of employees and AIS officials between AP and TS slowed down the government in meeting targets. This has led to a gap between devising policies and meeting the aspirations of the people in the first year, which Mr Rao now plans to bridge. TRS government is quite confident of meeting expectation of the people in the upcoming years with their ambitious policies and projects. -Srikar.Palwai

Revanth casts vote in MLC elections

Jubilant TRS MLAs celebrated their joy hugging nomited MLA Stephenson when entered assembly over their counterpart Revanth Reddy arrest in horse-trading case.   On the otherhand, Revanth reddy spent nearly two hours in the assembly and then sent to Chamchalguda prison. While he entered assembly to vote looked fearless and confident inspite of all difficulties circled him. TTDP leaders also convened a meeting in the assembly to discuss on further developments and strategies to escape from the issue.   This incident has enraged the TDP followers in Telangana and led to protests all over the state. CM KCR’s effigies were also burnt at some places rising slogans against ruling party. -Srikar.Palwai

14 day remand for Revanth Reddy

TDP MLA Revanth Reddy on Monday was produced in court for allegedly horse-trading a nominated MLA to vote in their favour in the today’s MLC elections, has been inflicted 14 days judicial custody.   Revanth Reddy lawyers stated that they would file a petition in the court seeking bail. It is also learnt that court has granted him permission to vote in the MLC elections and will be sent to Charlapally Jail after the voting finished. “Revanth Reddy complained against police officials for handling him rudely and posted his appeal to the judge to allow him for the treatment for his injuries” lawyer said. On the other hand, Revanth Reddy severely hitting out at KCR for intentionally roping him in this case and said he would fight against it in the court. -Srikar.Palwai

TDP Kukatpalli MLA likely to jump into TRS

  Madhavaram Krishna Rao, the TDP MLA from Kukatpalli seems is all set to jump into the TRS party anytime from now. He met Telangana Chief Minister KCR today at Hyderabad. Actually, few months back he declared that he would like to join the TRS party, but clings to TDP until now. His meeting with TRS president KCR just ahead of the MLC elections is indicating that he will not cling to the TDP for any long.   Even if he joins the TRS party just before the MLC elections, he can’t cast his vote in favour of the TRS 5th candidate because TDP has issued a whip to all its MLAs including him and the four MLAs Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Teegala Krishna Reddy, Challa Dharma Reddy and Manchireddy Kishan Reddy on Saturday. They may be disqualified if they cast their votes to the TRS candidate.   R Krishnaiah, the TDP MLA from LB Nagar is also distanced from the party for quite a long time. He was absent to the Mahanadu meetings held in Hyderabad. He is also inclined towards the TRS, but still clings to the TDP. 

TRS shelves housing project in OU lands?

  The ruling TRS Ministers and leaders always promptly react to allegations or challenges made by the opposition parties. But, they remain silent on two important issues.   The first one is about CM KCR’s plan to provide housing to the poor in the OU lands and the second one is about conducting GHMC elections. All the opposition parties including TDP president Chandrababu Naidu has strongly criticized the Telangana Chief Minister KCR for his peculiar plans. Some Congress leaders even challenged the TRS ministers whether they can step into OU campus. But, none of the TRS leaders have reacted on their challenges. Perhaps, the Telangana government realized that it is very risky to accept such challenges. Hence, it may be shelved the housing proposal.   AP CM Chandrababu Naidu has challenged the TRS government to face his party in the GHMC elections. He said “Everyone in the city knows that we have developed the Hyderabad city. So, we are quite confident to face the GHMC elections, but the TRS government is prolonging the elections because it is afraid to face our party in the elections. If it has any courage, let it conduct the elections immediately. People will decide who developed the city.” However, TRS has not responded to his challenge.

We Will Win all Five seats says KCR

Chief Minister K. Chandra Shekar Rao on Friday convened a TRLP meet in Hyderabad to issue directions to the party MLAs on the occasion of upcoming MLC elections.   Mr Rao addressing the MLAs issued an ultimatum that these elections are prestigious and he would not bear any mistake at any cost. He also warned MLAs that would not even refuse to dissolve assembly and go for bi elections.   He assured TRS will win all five MLC seats if the MLAs vote in accordance with party’s directions. He directed all the ministers to take care of MLAs in their respective Districts. He also put some satires on the opposition parties that no political party will be lasting in Telangana expect TRS and MIM. -Srikar.Palwai

Uttam Demands a Probe on Alair Encounter

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Friday reiterated the demand for CBI probe into the encounter of five Muslim miscreants at Alair of Nalgonda in an alleged encounter with the police on April 7.     Addressing a meeting organised by TPCC Minority Department at Basheerbagh Press Club here on Friday evening, Uttam Kumar Reddy condemned the encounter and assured it as fake.    He alleged that the killing of five Muslim under trials was part of a larger conspiracy. He said that senior Congress leaders Digvijay Singh and S Jaipal Reddy have already demanded CBI probe into the encounter. It is already known that CBI probe has been ordered on chittoor encounter. -Srikar.Palwai

Ordinance issued for land acquisition bill amendments

  The Centre has passed the ordinance on the amended land acquisition bill today in the cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Modi. This is second time that Centre issuing an ordinance for the same purpose in a gap of six months. Center has passed the ordinance because the previous ordinance is going to expire on June 3rd.   Although, the NDA government managed to pass the amended land acquisition bill in the lower house, it fails to pass through upper house of the Parliament as it lacks enough strength to pass it in the house. Congress party that has enough strength in the upper house has stalled it with the support of other opposition parties. Hence, it is necessitated to pass ordinance today to keep the amendments made in the land acquisition bill effective till next 6 months.

TRS in fix with EC decision?

  It seems the ruling TRS party’s idea of fielding its 5th candidate in the MLC election to be held under MLAs quota has backfired. The Chief Election Commissioner has decides to conduct the polling in open ballot system instead of secret ballot system. It prevents the MLAs other than the TRS party to cross vote in favour of the TRS 5th candidate as they may be disqualified for violating the party whip.   Hence, only those MLAs whose parties have agreed to support the TRS can cast their votes to its 5th candidate. Congress party has already issued whip to its 22 MLAs including the four who jumped into the TRS party long back. TDP also may issue whip to 14 MLAs including those three serving now the TRS party. So, they all can’t cast their votes to the TRS candidate, even though the High Court permits them to take part in the MLC elections. Hence, TRS President KCR has summoned an urgent meeting of his legislative party leaders on Friday evening to discuss about this problem.

Botsa Satyanarayana all set to join YSRCP?

  Former PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana recently said that the media reports and speculations about switching to YSR Congress party hurt him very much. He said there is no such proposal and will continue in the Congress party. But, those reports and speculations proved to be genuine with the latest development taken place today.   YSR Congress party general secretary Vijayasai Reddy, MPs YV Subba Reddy, senior leaders Jyothula Nehru and some others went to his residence and invited him to join YSR Congress party, for which he is said to be positively responded. He is said to be sought some time to think over about their invitation and offer. He is expected to make some announcement very soon, as he can’t afford to leave this golden opportunity.   But, they offered him Visakha district party in-charge post, instead of his own district Vizianagaram, probably because of strong resistance from the district leaders. YSR Congress party may believe that it would be an amicable solution to this problem. Even though, Botsa Satyanarayana is made in-charge of Visakha district, he can’t afford to lose his grip on his native Vizianagaram district. Obviously, then the district leaders may be forced to leave the party.   Earlier, during Dadi Veerabhadra Rao’s admission into the party, Jagan Mohan Reddy ignored his most trusted leader Konathala Ramakrishna Rao and his followers’ objections. They left the party after facing ill treatment from him. Now, the same situation may repeats in the Vizianagaram district also.

Warangal MP Seat raises Curiosity

All the political parties in Telangana are in search of fielding their best candidates for the bi election likely to be announced after the resignation of MP kadiyam Srihari for Warangal constituency.   After the cabinet reshuffle, MP Kadiyam who is representing Warangal Constituency suddenly was asked to take over the Education Ministry. He cleared that he would resign as MP within a week after his swearing in as MLC.   Senior leader Ex MP Vivek who made his come back to Congress party just before the election from TRS seems to be lobbying for the seat to contest from his own district. Some other leaders like Sirisilla Rajaiah, Sarvey Sathyanaryana also hunting for the berth.   Continuing the ally of TDP-BJP, planning really hard to give a tough fight to the ruling party by showcasing their controversial decisions and failure in the implementation of poll promises. Ally is likely to field their candidate from BJP as they did in 2014 elections.   Besides all this, ruling party TRS suffering huge competition within the party. Recently, Telangana SC Corporation Chairman Pidarmathi Ravi revealed his wish to contest for Warangal seat if KCR agrees. It’s also learnt that Erolla Srinivas is also in the fray. _srikar.Palwai

I stopped Errabelli from entering into TRS: Kadiyam

  The former TDP leader and the present Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari told the media that he has prevented his former colleague Errabelli Dayakar Rao from entering into the TRS party because he is Telangana traitor. But, at the same time he is conveniently ignoring that he betrayed the TDP that gives him name and fame. He was made as politburo member of the TDP and minister in Chandrababu Naidu’s cabinet in the late 1990s. He also represented the TDP in the all party meeting held by the UPA government in Delhi before bifurcation of the state.   He sticks to the TDP until May 11th, 2014 and jumped into the TRS party only after realizing that its electoral chances are very bright and after getting assurance for MP ticket from his home constituency Warangal. Would he join the TRS when it was struggling for separate state during last 10 years, then he can claim himself as Telangana loyalist. But, neither had he taken part in the Telangana agitations nor did he sacrifice anything for it. Just like many other opportunists he also jumped into the TRS party ahead of elections in a bid to grab ticket and power. He was elected as MP and recently becomes deputy Chief Minister of Telangana state. So, he can’t claim himself as a Telangana loyalist nor can blame Errabelli as Telangana traitor. But, he seems to be made these remarks against Errabelli only because he has political rivalry with him even while in the TDP.

Kejriwal to start fresh fight as SC stayed HC orders

  Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has to start a fresh fight against the Lt. Governor (LG) Najeeb Jung and the NDA government as the Supreme Court stayed today the orders issued by the single judge of Delhi High Court on who will have control over the bureaucrats of the Delhi government.   The Delhi High Court in its judgment given on May 25th has termed the notification issued by the Home Ministry as an attempt for clipping powers of the AAP government.   As per the notification, the LG will have jurisdiction over matters connected with services, public order, police and land and he may consult with the Chief Minister whenever he thinks necessary on issues of services using his own discretion.   Responding to the Delhi government’ petition, The High Court asks the LG to coordinate with the AAP government. It also confirmed the powers of the AAP government on the bureaucrats. The High Court ordered the Anti-Corruption Bureau Chief to directly report to the Chief Minister and not to the LG.   Then the Centre has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the HC verdict on this matter. A vacation bench of the apex court comprising Justices A K Sikri and U U Lalit has issued stay orders today on the High Court’s ruling on Centre’s notification.   The bench stated that the High Court would hear the fresh petition filed by the Delhi government challenging the May 21 notification of the Centre independently and without being influenced by the observations made by the single judge in his verdict. The apex court bench issued notice and sought response within six weeks from the Delhi government. It also leaves the choice to the Delhi government to decide whether to settle this matter in the High Court or wants to approach it.

Congress MP Complaints against TRS

He also stated that he complained against speaker for not taking any decision on the defection of MLAs. M.A Khan also accompanied him.   It is known that MLC elections for Telangana legislative council are scheduled on June 1 under MLA quota. TRS has strength only to win four seats in the election, but surprisingly ruling party has fielded all five candidates, which hints defection of few more MLAs is possible. -Srikar.Palwai
