Ram Charan Tej struck with another controversy again

  Jubilee Hills police have filed case against Tollywood actor Ram Charan Tej for creating nuisance with a party arranged at his residence in Jubilee Hills road No: 25 on Sunday late night. Responding to a complaint lodged by his neighbor Goutham Sawang, an IPS officer, Jubilee Hills police have booked a case against him. TRS MLA Teegala Krishna Reddy’s son Srikanth Reddy and few others were spotted in the party that continues till Monday early hours.   Unlike his father Chiranjeevi, who always uphold his dignity and never found involved in such controversies, Ram Charan Tej often struck with one controversy or the other. His public statements about veteran directors, his brawl with two software engineers in Hyderabad last year and now this latest incident highlights the large difference between the father and the son. Ram Charan Tej often says that he has learnt many things from his father, but appears to be not learnt how to maintain the dignity like him.

TV-9 News Reader Badri died in accident

  News presenter Badri (38) working for leading Telugu News Channel TV9 died in a car accident on Saturday night. Badri and his family were returning to his native village Avupadu in Nallacharla Manadal after attending a marriage function in Dwaraka Tirumala Devasthanam near Eluru of West Godavari district on Saturday night.   Badri, his wife Lakshi Sujatha, their two sons Sai and Satwik and their relative G. Tarak were travelling in the car at the time of accident. Their vehicle went out of control and rammed into a tree at Lakshmi Nagar of Dwaraka Tirumala Mandal in West Godavari district on Saturday night. Badri died on the spot and all others are badly injured in the accident.   They were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately his son Sai (12) also died in the hospital. Later, Badri’s wife and another son Satwik were shifted to a Vijaya Super Specialty Hospital in Vijayawada. According to latest information, Karthik’s condition is also reported to be critical. Badri’s wife condition is stable.   Badri’s full name is Kalla Veera Bhadra rao. He was born to Veeraghavulu and Leelavathi on 1976, April 11th in Vungatur. He joined TV9 in the year 2004 as news reader and becomes very popular later for his extensive news coverage on various issues of Andhra and Telangana states.   AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, Telangana CM KCR, Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Harikrishna, YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy, Ambati Rambabu, BJP leader Purandeswari and many others have expressed grief and shock for his death.    

YSRCP reacts on CBN's Orders for statues removal

  As predicted, YSR Congress party has strongly reacted to CM Chandrababu Naidu’s orders for removing all statues in the state. Party senior leader Ambati Rambabu said, “We will not allow the government to touch any statues of our great leader late YS Rajashekhar Reddy. We will show the government what our power is, if it dares to touch Rajashekhar Reddy’s statues.”   So, a clash between ruling TDP and the YSR Congress party seems to be inevitable. However, state government has the orders from the courts for its decision. So, if the YSR Congress party activists try to stop the officials from removing or shifting of late YS Rajashekhar Reddy’s statues, then they may simply knock the court doors for taking action against them.   But, before that they should come prepared with an answer about what is their stand on removing or shifting of late NTR’s statues. If, they have an answer for it then they may try Rajashekhar Reddy’s statues also otherwise they may face stiff resistance and criticsm from the YSR Congress party.

Bihar CM revolts, Expelled from Party

  The ruling JD (U) of Bihar state has expelled its Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi from the party after he refuses to step down from his post to give way to Nitish Kumar. A high drama takes place in the party throughout the day today when party president Sharad Yadav and the chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi hold meetings with their party MLAs and Ministers.   CM Jitan Ram Manjhi has summoned an emergency cabinet meeting around 2 pm as a last attempt to prevent the party MLAs electing Nitish Kumar as leader of the house. He moves a resolution to dissolve the government, but only 7 out of 29 ministers have backed it.   The JD (U) president Sharad Yadav also holds a meeting with party MLAs. They have unanimously elected Nitish Kumar as their leader of the house. Later, they passed a resolution expelling their Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi from the party for revolting against the party.   JD (U) leaders will meet the governor tonight and inform him about the election of Nitish Kumar as the party leader of the house and submit letters of MLAs supporting him. Laloo Prasad Yadav’s RJD and the Congress party are also supporting him. Hence, Nitish Kumar may take oath very soon as the Chief Minister of Bihar.

Not supporting TDP in Tirupati Bye-elections: YSRCP

  The YSR Congress party’s Tirupati city convener Palagiri Prathap Reddy told the media early this morning that his party will extend full support to TDP candidate Sugunamma in the bye-elections necessitated with the sudden death of TDP MLA late Venkata Ramana. He shocks the party leadership with his statement as YSR Congress party never think about supporting its rival party TDP in any elections. Actually, it stayed away from these elections just following the tradition of leaving the seat to family member of the deceased MLA.   Hence, party senior Ambati Rambabu immediately rushed to media to announce “YSR Congress party is not supporting the TDP candidate in the bye-elections.” He explained why his party stayed away from the elections and rubbished the media reports about his party convener Prathap Reddy. He said they are false reports intentionally aired to strengthen TDP candidate. If, he sticks to his statement, then YSRCP should consider Prathap Reddy as innocent and spare him from any disciplinary action, otherwise it would be endorsing the media reports.

Aam Admi Party likely to win in Delhi Elections

  Elections for Delhi Assembly were concluded very peacefully with a turnout of 63-66 per cent out of 1.33 crore voters. Soon after the EC gives clearance to media houses for announcing exit polls, four reports were tabled and all of them predict victory for Aam Admi Party in the elections.   According to latest surveys conducted by four media agencies, Aam Admi Party may get anywhere between 35 to 43 seats out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly. The magic number to form the government is 36. So, this time AAP may comfortably form the government on its own without any outside support.   The surveys predict BJP will emerge as second largest party bagging anywhere between23-29 seats out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly. Congress party’s position worsens further when compares to previous elections. It may hardly get 0-5 seats this time whereas last time it won 8 seats.   Though there are more than 400 independent candidates contested in these elections only one or two out of them may win the elections. Three out of the four media agencies predict a big zero for independents. Only Aaj Tak media agency gives 0-2 seats to them. Here are the latest survey reports of four media agencies:

Modi may not hesitates to strike Pakistan: Robert Blackwell

  India-Pakistan relations were never used to be perfect, not even good enough all these decades and Pakistan is to be blamed for it. Its proxy war against India during the last three decades ruined the relations between the two countries. However, India always has been trying to improve relations with it. But, Pakistan’s reactions are always negative and offensive. It makes no difference for Pakistan as long as there was UPA government in the power in New Delhi.   But, it fails or ignores to notice a change in the situation. In fact, Narendra Modi also preferred to have good relations between two countries. So, he invited Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in ceremony. He adopts a tough stand after seeing Pakistan’s negative reactions. Ever since, his government is handling affairs related to Pakistan with a very firm hand.   His government called off talks between foreign secretaries of two countries after Pakistan’s Commissioner to India had a meeting with Kashmiri separatists ignoring its orders. His government orders the border security forces to give a fitting reply to Pakistani troops seize fire violations.   After closely observing Modi’s stand on Pakistan, former US ambassador Robert Blackwell warned the Pakistan government that Modi government may not hesitate to conduct a military action against it in case if he found any kind of involvement of Pakistan army or its secret service agency ISI in any terrorists attacks on India in the future. He said previous government also thought about striking militant bases on the Pakistani soil, after terrorists’ attacks on its parliament, but, it hesitates and finally dropped the plans of military action. Hence, Blackwell warned the Pakistan government to realize the situation and refrain from encouraging terrorists to attack India.

YSRCP supports TDP in Tirupati bye-elections!

  People of AP are aware about the enmity prevailed between the ruling TDP and the main opposition party YSR Congress party. Hence, no one can expect they co-operate each other to win the elections. But, both parties are strictly following the custom practice of staying away from bye-elections to enable the family member of the deceased MLA get elected unopposed.   Hence, the YSR Congress party leaves the Tirupati Assembly constituency to its rival TDP candidate Sugunamma, the widow of TDP MLA Venkata Ramana. But, the Congress party fields its candidate Rudraraju Sreedevi. Although, there are some other candidates in the race, the main competition would be between TDP and Congress party candidates only. TDP is expecting to win with at least 1 lakh majority. Congress candidate Sreedevi is also leaving no stone left unturned to win these elections.   At this moment, YSR Congress party city convener Palagiri Prathap Reddy came to TDP candidate Sugunamma’s support. He said that YSR Congress party will extend its full support to Sugunamma to win the bye-elections. But, his statement may cost him very dearly, because staying away from the bye-elections doesn’t mean that YSR Congress party is supporting TDP or its candidate. So, declaring open support to TDP candidate is sending wrong message to the people about party’s stand. He boldly takes this risk probably because he may be planning to jump into the TDP soon after the bye-elections.

CBN will meet PM Modi on Feb.8th

  AP CM Chandrababu Naidu will go to New Delhi on Sunday to meet Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His visit to Delhi is very significant in wake of the negative reactions developed in the state over the financial package released by the Centre to the state two days ago. He may explain them about the consequent developments taking place in the state and the reactions of opposition parties over this issue, which is harmful to both BJP and TDP.   Telangana government’s decision to increase the salaries of its employees may also create an unseen pressure on his government. He may appeal them to release sufficient funds to compensate the budget deficit. He may remind them about many pending projects like IIT, IIM, AIMS and Polavaram etc. that need central clearances and funds release. Unless, the Centre gives clearances and sufficient funds in time, state government may not go ahead with its development plans.   There are two massive projects Capital city construction and three Metro Rail projects that need huge funds from the Centre. So, Chandrababu Naidu may ask the Centre for a time bound plan for funds release and clearances for all these projects. If, he could convince the Finance Minister and Prime Minister to release minimum Rs.10, 000 crore before end of the current financial year, everything may go smooth, otherwise state government may land into financial problems.

Won’t obstruct CBN’s visit in Warangal: Kadiyam

  Telangana deputy chief minister Kadiyam Sri Hari has surprised his former TDP colleagues by announcing that TRS will not obstruct AP CM Chandrababu Naidu’s proposed visit to Warangal on February 12th.   He said “We respect him as a Chief Minister of neighbor state and follow the protocol procedures.” Earlier Minister Mahendra Reddy warned that TRS will not allow him to step into Telangana state.   Hence, either TRS has realized the consequences of obstructing Chief Minister of a state and dropped its idea or it may realized that any such attempt will give undue importance to his visit and generate sympathy for TDP in Telangana. Whatever reasons may be it took a wise decision.

Bring down Cement prices immediately or face action!

  Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Palle Raghunatha Reddy warned the Cement Industries in the state to immediately bring down the cement prices to their normal range or face serious action. The ministers’ sub-committee holds a meeting on Friday with the Cement manufacturers in the state.   Minister Palle Raghunatha Reddy later speaking to the media said, “Our government is providing un-interrupted power supply to the cement industries. We have given them mining licenses for limestone. They are availing subsidies under various schemes declared by our government. The transport charges also come down due to fall in diesel prices. Even then, they are increasing the cement prices at regular intervals. It is beyond the reach of common man. A cement bag of 25 kgs weight is costing around Rs.325 to 350. It should bring down to earlier prices with in next four or five days otherwise we will take severe action against the cement companies.”   This is first time that the AP government is warning the Cement industries. It became necessary as the cement costs gone beyond the reach of common man. But, Tamilnadu government adopted a different policy to tackle this problem. It recently introduces Amma Cement to weaker sections in the society. It is offering at subsidized price of Rs. 190/- each cement bag of 25kgs weight. However, it will become additional burden and also an obligation for the government.

Package is not enough: Ashok Gajapathi Raju

  Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju stated that the financial package granted to the state by the central government is not enough. We expect much more than that. Being an alliance partner, we expect the central government should be liberal in granting funds to the state. It should implement all the promises made by previous UPA government and in the AP Reorganization Bill. We will pressurize the central government for granting special status to the AP State.   AP State Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu also said he is disappointed with the package. This gives a scope to the Congress party and YSR Congress parties to aim their guns at TDP and the BJP. Hence, TDP may communicate with BJP high command and ensure sufficient funds are allocated to the state in the financial budget.

Nitish Kumar likely to replace Bihar CM Jitan Ram

  Former Bihar State Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who stepped down owing moral responsibility for the party defeat in the general elections, has offered his chair to his close aide Jitan Ram Manjhi in the last year. But, during Jitan Ram’s 9 months of ruling his party JD (U) and the government have faced several controversies. Assembly elections for Bihar are slated for later this year. Hence, Nitish Kumar wants to replace him, but Jitan Ram is not ready to return his chair.   However, Nitish Kumar convinces his JD (U) party president Sharad Yadav to summon a meeting with party MLAs to elect him as their party floor leader. But, Jitan Ram is strongly objecting for any such meeting with the MLAs by the party president. He argues that he alone can summon MLAs for such meetings and not the party president. He declared that he will revolt if forced to quit the CM Post.   Jitan Ram is heading a minority government backed by 24 MLAs of Laloo Prasad’s RJD and 5 MLAs of the Congress party. Currently, JD (U) has 111 MLAs strength in the Assembly. The magic figure to stay afloat is 122. CM Jitan Ram claims that around 35 to 40 MLAs are on his side. He warns that if Nitish Kumar tries to clinch his CM Chair, then he will break away from the party and form the government taking support BJP support.   He is reported to be assured of BJP’s 88 MLAs support by Ram Vilas Paswan of the Lok Janshakti Party, who is also a minister in the NDA government. Hence, JD (U) is in dilemma whether to take this risk or not. But, Nitish Kumar is quite confident that all MLAs of his party will support him only. If so, RJD and the Congress parties are there to extend their support to his government. Hence, a tricky situation prevails in the JD (U). JD (U) leadership is negotiating with Jitan Ram and his supporters.

Foundation stone laying for AP Capital City in June likely

  AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and his ministers are reportedly planning to lay foundation stone for the capital city construction on June 11 or 12th this year in Thullur. Astrologers have suggested these two dates are very auspicious for starting construction work. Since, Chandrababu Naidu’s government complete one year term by then, they are also believe that it would be appropriate time for beginning such massive works.   AP government has appealed the Centre to release Rs.20,000 crore for first phase of construction of the capital city in which Assembly, Secretariat, High Court, Raj Bhavan, CM’s Camp Office, Buildings for various state government head offices, Ministers, Officials and employees quarters will be constructed. But, it is learnt that Centre asked it submit a detailed drawings and estimations for this purpose. Unless the Singapore companies handover the master plan of the core capital, state government can’t prepare estimations randomly. Singapore Companies have assured that they will hand over the master plan of the core capital city by the time it lays foundation stone in June. Hence, final estimations can be submitted to the Centre only after receiving the master plan from them.   So, in the meantime state government is trying to complete the land acquisition process. But, it is facing resistance from 9 villages out of 29 in Thullur Mandal. So far, it acquires 14,800 acres only, whereas its target is double that figure. Municipal minister P Narayana said that he is quite hopeful to complete this process before end of February or Mid-March. He said that Singapore Company and the state government are in constant touch with each other.

NDA Government sacks Anil Goswami

  NDA government sacked union home secretary Anil Goswami for attempting to stop the arrest of Matang Singh, a former Union minister, who was accused in Saradha scam. He resigned after meeting the Home Minister Rajnath Singh on yesterday and gave way to L.C. Goyal, a 1979-batch IAS officer of the Kerala cadre to occupy his place. Home Minister may also sack two more officers of CBI, who are interrupting this investigation.   Last week, it sacks foreign secretary Sujatha Singh for her inefficient handling of significant meetings held between US President Barack Obama and Narendra Modi at USA in the last September. Centre has sent a very strong message to its bureaucrats that it will not tolerate inefficiency and indiscipline in the duties, whereas in the past UPA government encouraged them for indulging in odd practices and often used to rattle by the Supreme Court for it.   Anil Goswami (60) tenure was till June 30, but he stumped out in the last leg. L.C . Goyal had served in the home ministry as joint secretary (internal security) a few years ago.

Centre grants Rs.850 crores special package to AP State

  The union finance ministry has granted Rs. crore special financial package to the Andhra Pradesh state on Wednesday. This is a temporary relief to compensate the budget deficit of the state for the years 2014-15. Centre has formed a ministers’ sub-committee to study the state financial condition and make necessary recommendations to it for further release of funds to the state. Finance Ministry also granted Rs.350 crores for the development of   seven backward districts of Rayalaseema and North Costal Region in the state under sections 46(2) and 46 (3) of  AP Reorganization Bill-2014. Hence each district will get Rs.50 crore as its share from this fund. Centre also announced subsidies for industrial development in the backward districts of AP and Telangana states under section 94 (1) of AP Reorganization Bill-2014.  

Modi’s foreign policy is giving fruitful results

  The two communist countries China and Russia seems very upset to see India inching toward their enemy country USA. Both countries have decided to back India to move a proposal in United Nations that may corner Pakistan for providing shelter and funds to terrorists involved in the 26/11 carnage and other attacks in the country. Actually, China has stated that Pakistan is its good friend and would like to work with it closely. It made this statement during Obama’s visit to India. But, this magical change in China’s attitude towards India comes after India’s foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj’s immediate visit to China after Obama’s departure from New Delhi. Of course, the US President Obama’s visit to India also helped her in convincing China that it need to support India.   Although, India inches towards the US, India’s relationship with Russia is intact as ever before. So, Russia is also willing to support India’s proposal to be moved against Pakistan. China and Russia also agreed to back India to play a larger role the United Nations, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. US also agreed to support India in UN and APEC also.   Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov and Indian counterpart Sushma Swaraj in a joint communiqué stated “underlined the need to bring to justice perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of terrorist acts.” India has moved this resolution two decades ago, but it has been shelved till now as Indian External Affairs Ministry had not put enough efforts to convince major players in the UN. If, India could succeed in getting the nod of UN to its proposal, Pakistan may be forced handover the terrorists involved in the attacks on India. It will also endorse a point that Pakistan has turned a terrorists’ hub, which may attract many restrictions from the UN.

Secretariat shifting idea may back fire again

  Telangana CM KCR’s ideas appear to be often back firing at his government. His government is forced to drop many of his decisions and G.O.s issued during his nine months of ruling. The latest one is shifting of Secretariat to the proposed new building to be constructed at Erragadda and his decision to shift the Chest and Mental dieses to Vikarabad. The reason ‘Vasthu problem’ he said for his decision gave an opportunity to opposition parties to aim their guns at him.   Moreover, he simply ignores a basic point that any such decisions need Governor’s consent as he is the care taker of Hyderabad city till the city remains common capital for both states.   Next, the AP government is operating from Secretariat and can’t be asked to vacate it unless it wants to move out. Telangana government can’t force it to vacate or even ask it to shift to some other building because Governor alone has that discretional power to order the AP government to do so.   CM KCR also seems to be made another mistake. He has not bothered to inform the Governor about his ideas or take his permission before announcing to the media. According to reports, Governor’s office may write a letter to Chief Secretary of Telangana government asking for explanation about the media reports on this matter.   Obviously, Governor may not allow CM KCR to implement his ideas because there are no strong reasons to convince him. If, he takes opposition parties protests and arguments into consideration, then he may simply reject CM KCR’s proposals, which may again create an embarrassing situation for both.   Apart from TDP, BJP, Left Parties, AP government is also going to raise objections on shifting of Secretariat, Chest and Mental hospitals from their places, taking cue from the AP Reorganization Bill-2014. Scholars and exerts in Hyderabad are also strongly objecting CM KCR’s proposals. They argue that it may help only to worsen the traffic problems if Secretariat is shifted to Erragadda area that is already very congested.   CM KCR found Vasthu problems in the existing Secretariat building. But, Vasthu Pundits observed that there are 11 major Vasthu problems in the Erragadda hospital area. They predict that if the Secretariat is shifted there then Telangana government may face more problems than ever before. So, it seems all these conditions may force CM KCR to gulp down his idea again or should be prepared to rattle by the courts again.
