Odisha CM asks Modi stop Polavaram Project

  Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, has appealed him to hold back Polavaram Project as his government has some objections on the project. He is reported to be told him that his government has long ago filed a case against the project in Supreme Court because many villages in Odisha state also will submerge under this project if it becomes reality.   Earlier Chhattisgarh government also has raised objections on this project for the same reasons, but it may revoke its decision as BJP to which it belongs is in power at Centre now. People have seen TRS has conducted one day Telangana bandh protesting the merger of seven mandlas of Khammam with Andhra Pradesh. So, Modi government has to take a look before going ahead on this project. However, Modi government may not step back on its decision.

Chandrababu greets KCR, invites to his oath function

  Chandrababu said that TRS would have invited his party leaders to swearing in ceremony of their leader KCR, who takes oath as Chief Minister of Telangana. However, he congratulated him and his party on this occasion, through media. Chandrababu also congratulates KCR after he takes charge of his office.   Although, KCR doesn’t bother to invite him to his swearing in ceremony, Chandrababu Naidu has invited KCR to his swearing in ceremony that is scheduled for June 8th. He said TDP will maintain good relations with TRS government and is expecting the same from them.   Prime Minister Narendra Modi also invited KCR to his swearing in ceremony, but KCR doesn’t bother to invite him or any of his cabinet ministers. However, Narendra Modi has greeted him through his tweeter message. He also assured that his NDA government will co-operate to KCR’s government for speedy development of his state.   Chandrababu has invited his darling enemy YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, KCR, Jayaprakash Narayan, CPI, CPM, NDA leaders to his swearing in ceremony. He also invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun Jaitli and all other union ministers of Modi cabinet for his swearing in ceremony. He personally wrote letters to all of them. He also invites Chief Ministers of Tamilnadu, Odisha, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal, Goa, Punjab and Nagaland. Need not to say he also invites Pawan Kalyan to this function.

Why didn’t Naidu attend the T CM swearing in ceremony?

TDP President and CM designate of rest of Andhra Pradesh Mr Naidu’s absence in the swearing in ceremony of the Telangana CM Mr K Chandrasekhar Rao was quite evident. Instead he chose to celebrate the Telangana formation day celebrations in his Party office at Jubilee Hills. He held an elaborate session with the Telangana TDP members and spoke about offering help to the Telangana state in whatever capacity they could. Mr. Naidu hoped that Telangana would  achieve development under the leadership of Telangana Rashtra Samithi  CM Mr. KCR. It is believed that KCR had a sent an invite to Mr Naidu through the routine General Administration and no one had personally invited Mr Naidu or even called him for the event. When KCR was asked as to why Mr Naidu was not present in the ceremony, he informed that Mr Naidu had been invited to attend the swearing in ceremony, but failed to show up. Definitely there was an invite that went out, but for reasons better known to him Mr Naidu chose not to attend is what he said .This has apparently miffed the senior leader for the shoddy treatment given to him . After the swearing Mr Naidu apparently called Mr KCR and congratulated him. It is said that he is planning to send a team to go and invite KCR for his swearing in on June 8th. The bifurcation of the state has resulted in enmity among employees and general public and with both the state heads at loggerheads over various issues including water, sharing of central resources and the Polavaram dam issue we need to see how the future relations and development of both the States would be.

Akhilesh Yadav yields, orders CBI Enquiry for Badaun Rape Case

Facing severe criticism and mounting pressure from the girls families and the opposition for inaction UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has given in and ordered for a CBI inquiry into the incident where two minor dalit girls were raped and murdered by an section of the upper caste people in connivance with the local police who were also involved in the incident. The parents had demanded that the CBI involved as they had no faith in the local police who were also involved in this ghastly incident. A compensation of Rs 5 lakhs and fast tract court trial is what he had earlier ordered for. Earlier Rahul Gandhi had visited the families, Mayavathi had pressed for  CBI inquiry, Union Minister for Women & Child Welfare Mrs Maneka Gandhi had also  offered support in the form of ordering a CBI enquiry if the parents wanted it..All the five named in the FIR including constables Sarvesh Yadav, Chhatrapal Yadav and three brothers Pappu Yadav, Awadhesh Yadav and Urvesh Yadav have been arrested. The FIR was registered against seven including two unnamed. While services of Sarvesh and Chhatrapal have been terminated, sub-inspector Ram Vilas Yadav had been suspended. Meanwhile Akhilesh Yadav has replaced state Chief Secretary Javed Usmani, and Mr Alok Ranjan has been appointed in his place. But this move would hardly call for any action as Mr Javed Usmani is likely to get a Central Deputation. There has been another rape case in Azamgarh where a minor girl was raped and the failure of the local machinery in providing safety for women and the girl child has become a burning issue in the state of Uttar Pradesh.  

Modi scraps all GoMs

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi has scrapped all the GoMs and Enpowered GoMs by UPA government and thus entrusted full powers back to cabinet. UPA government was used to create GoMs and EGoMs to study and make necessary recommendations to the union cabinet. However, many of them have never served its purpose, but used to prolong the decisions and many times to shelve the issues. There are as many as 21 GoMs constituted and 9 EGoMs constituted by UPA proved to be white elephants for the government.   Prime Minister Narendra Modi has scrapped all those GoM s and EGoMs with one pen stroke today and entrusts full powers and responsibility to his cabinet ministers. This will not only reduce the delay taking decisions but also makes the ministers responsible for their decisions.   Modi also gave new guide lines Forests and Environment Ministry. He ordered the ministry be prepared to clear the files within one week or reject for all infrastructure projects. However, he gave the ministry two months period to prepare the mechanism for clearing the files in one week. This policy will come into effect between July and September. This is also intended to take speedy decisions and making the concerned officials responsible for the delay.

YCP elects Mekapati as parliamentary leader

  YSR Congress party president Jagan Mohan Reddy has conducted a meeting with his newly elected MPs at Lotus Pond residence in Hyderabad today. They have elected Nellore MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy as their parliamentary floor leader.   Actually, YS Vijaya Lakshmi, the honorary president of the party is expected to lead the party MPs in the parliament. However, since she was defeated from Vizag by BJP Seemandhra president Kambampati Hari babu in the elections, she lost the chance. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who was an MP last time, has shifted to Assembly seat, hoping to become Chief Minister of the state. However, he won but his party was defeated in the elections. So, he also can’t lead his MPs in the parliament. Obviously, Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy, being senior most leader in the party got the chance.

Is Venkaiah Naidu introducing bhajan Sanskrit in BJP too?

  Union minister M Venkaiah Naidu addressing his party workers and leaders has said that UPA government has granted Telangana, only after Narendra Modi’s entry into elections as BJP Prime Minister Candidate. Congress scared with his entry has given Telangana hoping to win there but lost. He is all praise to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He assured that country will spearhead in development in his leadership.   However, people smiles as Venkaiah Naidu’s vociferous bhajan reminds them of Congressmen, who make bhajan of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi at every occasion. People are habituated to see Congressmen making Sonia and Rahul bhajans, but surprised to see BJP leaders also make bhajan of Modi. Venkaiah Naidu has been indulged in Modi bhajan ever since he is named as PM candidate of the party, but there is no meaning of continuing it even after he becomes union minister in Modi’s cabinet. People wish that he put efforts to develop Andhra and Telangana states instead of keep assuring for it.

No witch hunting against rivals: Venkaiah Naidu

  Ever since, Modi become Prime Minister those political leaders or their relatives facing allegations in corruption charges are having sleepless nights, because during his electioneering he promised the people that he will send them all to jail. Though, he not yet made any move in that direction, his first move to unearth black money constituting SIT under retired Supreme Court Judge, gives them all sleepless nights.   One such person facing allegations is none other than Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Wadra. He is allegedly indulged in several land scams. IAS officer Ashok Khemka, has been shunted out for 40 times from one place to other during his two years’ of service in Haryana government, for unearthing several land scams that have linked to Robert Wadra. So, Robert Wadra is also fears that Modi government will initiate actions against him, for he is hails to Modi’s rival camp.   However, urban development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, responding to a media question said that his government is not interested in witch hunt job against our political rivals. Let the law of the land take its own course in handling such corruption cases.”   His statement comes as a temporary relief to the persons facing allegations, but they too are aware that Modi government will certainly initiate actions one day or the other. Probably, Modi government initiates actions, when his rivals try to trouble his government crossing their limits. So, the honey moon period may end any time after 3 months, when Congress and all other rival parties start digging at Modi government.

Modi says NO for his profile in School Syllabus

The move by the Anandiben Patel government in Gujarat and the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in MP to include Prime Minister Modi’ life story in the school syllabus has been given the red signal by Modi himself. Reacting to the news Mr Modi in his tweets opposed the move as living individuals cannot be a part of the State syllabus. "I firmly believe that the life story of living individuals should not be included as a part of the school curriculum," and "I am reading in the news that some states want to include Narendra Modi's life struggles as a part of their school curriculum," he tweeted. He went on to clarify that young children should read about the great leaders who made India what it is today and not about him. Even though various suggestions to include his life story in school curriculum were received by the Ministry of School Education  he has clearly stated that his story or profile should not be included in the school curriculum.

Rahul is Joker: Cong. Leader

  “Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi is a joker. He couldn’t lead the party to victory in the elections. He is like a joker, who mismanaged the party in the elections. His policies and ideas are very crazy and can’t implementable. Because of him and his crazy ideas party was miserably defeated in the elections. He should resign to his post immediately owing moral responsibility for the defeat, otherwise party should pull him down from his chair and handover the party reins to Priyanka Gandhi.”   No one can imagine that any Congress leader dares to speak such words against Rahul Gandhi even in the dreams. People knows what happens if murmurs such words. Former Kerala minister TH Mustafa has stated this in the Kerala PCC meeting held recently after the defeat. As predicted he was immediately suspended from the party for it. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi Bhajan team managers have rushed to defend their two living gods from the evil Congress men like Mustafa and strongly condemned him in chorus.

Then, they don’t find anything wrong with the project but now raising objections. If they have objections on the design, why didn’t they stop UPA governmentwhen they have serious objections on Polavaram design? Why didn’t they keep mum then and why are they conducting dharnas now. Our government has not brought any new ordinance, but implemented the previous government’s decision. However, our government will treat both Andhra and Telangana states equal,” said Venkaiah Naidu.
