Errabelli upset with Babu’s efforts

  TDP Telangana forum convener Errabelli Dayakar rao is not in a position to support or criticize his party president Chandrababu Naidu, who is lobbying against T-Bill. Speaking to media he said “I feel ashamed with the way our party Seemandhra MPs and leaders are behaving in New Delhi. Our party has formally agreed for Telangana state creation. Centre goes ahead with bifurcation only after taking consent from all political parties of the state. So, our party Seemandhra leaders should co-operate for Telangana state creation instead of trying to obstruct the process."   "I am happy to see some Seemandhra Congress ministers are putting their demands before GoM. I suggest our party leaders also should put their demands before GoM. Actually, our party president Chandrababu Naidu is not against Telangana creation. He is demanding the Centre equal justice for people of both regions. But our Seemandhra leaders are pressurizing him to obstruct the T-Bill. I am quite upset to see these developments,” said Errabelli Dayakar rao.

Naidu as PM - Plan B of BJP!

      According to the recent development, we learn that Telugu Desam Party's president N Chandra Babu Naidu would be the Prime Ministerial candidate if Narendra Modi fails to win more than 200 parliamentary seats. The party's high command is confident about Modi winning 200 seats in an easy way but this Plan B would be executed if he fails to fulfill the requirement. A pre-poll alliance between TDP and BJP is being worked out and a formal announcement on the new plan will be done after the parliament sessions. Naidu is actually topping the list of Prime Ministerial candidates. However, he will find luck only if Modi fails !!!

Indian Christian Secular Party - A Jolt For Jagan

      In order to protect the interests of Christians across the state, a new party has evolved. The key members of the crew will be Bal Reddy who is the owner of Carnival Club, Suresh from the Kalavari Temple and Hero Raja. Along with this set, Aradhana Channel will be rendering complete support to the party. This new party's formation would create a massive impact on Y S Jagan who had been depending upon votes generated by Christian missionaries. These Christian organisations would now join hands with the new party to be directly involved in the state politics. Another reason for the support would be to avoid the monopolization of churches. We need to keep our fingers crossed to see what is going to happen !!!

High command secret pact with TRS and YCP

  Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal has once made severe allegations against his party high command. He said that his high command had a secret pact with TRS and YSR Congress party presidents. “One of our top leaders has met TRS leaders in a star hotel in New Delhi on Monday night. Later our high command has talked to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy by phone and asked him to ensure his party MLAs vote for K.Keshav rao, who is contesting in Rajya Sabha elections as TRS candidate. However, it is to be noted that the other day YSR Congress party has issued a whip to all its MLAs not to participate in Rajya Sabha elections.

Why, Centre wants to present T-Bill in Rajya Sabha first

  TRS leader Vinod is suspects that Congress high command is not honest in passing the T-Bill, as it is presenting the bill in Rajya Sabha first as against the tradition of submitting in Lok Sabha first. Submitting the bill in Rajya Sabha first is underlining its inability to pass the bill in Lok Sabha. Congress high command might have thought that while Rajya Sabha is debating on the bill, it can pass rest of the bills in Lok Sabha. In case if it presents the bill to Lok Sabha first and the house comes to standstill with the protests by members of different parties from AP, then it couldn’t pass crucial bills on vote-on-account.   Moreover, if presents the bill in Rajya Sabha first, it can corner BJP with it. BJP has to adopt the same stand in Lok Sabha also that it has taken in Rajya Sabha on the T-Bill. If, it supports the T-Bill, it is well and good for Congress, otherwise it can escape unhurt from this whole issue blaming BJP for not supporting the bill. It provides Congress party another escape route also. By presenting the bill in Rajya Sabha first, it can keep the bill alive. Although, Lok Sabha present term completes with the current sessions, Rajya Sabha term will never end because only a part of its members retires after every four years. So, it can tell the people that still it kept the T-Bill alive in Rajya Sabha and so, if they elect to power, it can complete the process and grant Telangana state immediately after taking charge of the government.

CM dharna at Jantar Mantar begins

    CM Kiran Kumar Reddy as announced earlier has started dharna at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi today around 11 am after paying tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat. Seemandhra Congress MPs, MLAs, union and state ministers and even PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana joins his Mouna Deeksha today.   Union ministers Kavuri Sambhasiva rao, Chiranjeevi, Purandeswari, JD Sheelam, state ministers Sailajanath, Ganta Srinivasa rao, C.Ramachandrayya, TG Venkatesh, MPs Lagadapati, Rayapati, Harsha Kumar, Subbirami Reddy and many MLAs are among the present. AP NGOs also joins his dharna. While, CM Kiran and Botsa were seen sitting silently, all others, who participating in dharna are speaking to state and national media reporters. All usual fair like slogan shouting, Samaikyandhra songs in the back ground, displaying Placards with ‘Save Andhra Pradesh’, participants’ speeches condemning bifurcation is there to enhance the spirit of their dharna.   They will sit for dharna till evening 4pm. Later, CM Kiran Kumar Reddy accompanied by Seemandhra MPs, MLAs and Ministers will meet President Pranab Mukharji at 6pm. They will submit a memorandum appealing him not to allow the Centre to present the T-bill in the Parliament that has been rejected by state assembly with voice vote. They will explain how their party adopts an unconstitutional method to divide the state without having the consent of the people of the state. Whether their dharna has any effect on the Centre or not definitely it is considered to be a slap on face for Congress high command. If, they could convince the President with their arguments, it would be a humiliation for Centre.

Will S’ Cong. MPs surrender to high command?

  All Seemandhra and Telangana Congress MPs, except Vundavalli Arun Kumar and Sabbam Hari have attended the ongoing war room meeting held by Congress high command. However, CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is also said to be invited is absent to meeting despite being in New Delhi. Seemandhra Union Ministers Chiranjeevi, Purandeswari, Killi Kriparani and JD Sheelam also attended this meeting. KVP Ramachandra rao is said to be left the meeting in the middle, but the reasons are not known.   Congress high command may be insisting them, especially Seemandhra MPs and Ministers to co-operate with it in passing the T-Bill. If it could make them fall in line with party, then it would be easy for it to isolate CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is challenging it by sitting for a dharna in New Delhi tomorrow. However, it would be very difficult for the MPs to surrender to high command, as they will be spitted by the people back at home. Moreover, almost all Seemandhra MLAs, Ministers are arriving New Delhi to join CM Kiran Kumar Reddy’s dharna tomorrow. So, it would be very tricky situation for both high command and Seemandhra MPs. If, they are reluctant to obey its orders, then it may force to take action against them. If, all this is part of Congress big bifurcation game, obviously they will be suspended from party for disobeying its orders so as they also claim themselves Samaikya champions.

Cong. leaders Dharna Competitions at Delhi tomorrow

  The reports about CM Kiran Kumar Reddy staging a dharna at Jantar Mantar tomorrow in protest against bifurcation, has encouraged T-Congress leaders also. They also decide to stage dharna at Rajghat tomorrow. But the actual reason for their dharna is not known. Whether they are competing with CM Kiran’s dharna or doing for Telangana is not known.   But one thing is sure. All these Congress leaders are creating embarrassment to their high command. National media and BJP will grab this opportunity to make fun of Congress party and its leadership. Especially, Narendra Modi, who never wants to leave such an opportunity, will definitely highlight this point in his every public meeting from now onwards. Hence, Congress high command should act quickly before it is too late. Probably, it may order CM Kiran Kumar Reddy not to do any Deeksha right under its nose. But, the question is whether he obey his high command’s orders or not.

Shinde announces T-bill schedule

  Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has announced the schedule for T-Bill processing. He said that GoM has approved the bill after making some changes in it. It will be sent to Cabinet meeting on February 6th. Cabinet will forward it to President Pranab Mukharji on February 7th after approving the bill. Once, the President gives his nod for the bill it will be presented in Rajya Sabha on February 10th” said Shinde.   Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh, who never comes forward to speak about bifurcation issue or about the unrest prevailing in the state because of it today, has talked to media about the bill. He expressed confident to pass the bill in Parliament. Congress high command seems to push the bill into Parliament despite all odds, so as it can escape from the blame, incase if it fails get it approved due to any reason.

Will S’ Cong. Min.& MPs follow CM Kiran?

  Lagadapati Rajagopal has told the media that if CM Kiran Kumar Reddy is sitting for a dharna at New Delhi protesting bifurcation decision, all Seemandhra union and state ministers, MPs and MLAs have to follow him without fail.   But, many high commands’ loyalists like Chiranjeevi, Kavuri, Sheelam, Panabaka, Purandeswari, Killi Kriparani, Subbirami Reddy, Botsa Satyanarayana, Dokka Manikyavara Prasad may not afford to join his public protest. If can’t then they have to face the ire of Seemandhra people and APNGOs’ or if join have to face high command’s anguish. Either way they have to pay. Even if they join CM Kiran Kumar Reddy in his dharna, he only gets the credit and endorsed as Samaikyandhra Champion and not anyone else. So, Kiran Kumar Reddy has virtually pushed them to edge.

CM’s dharna at Delhi on 5th

  There was slight change in CM Kiran Kumar Reddy’s dharna to be held at New Delhi. Although, he is leaving for New Delhi tomorrow morning, he and Seemandhra leaders will conduct dharna on Wednesday afternoon, after meeting President Pranab Mukharji on the same day morning, said minister Sailajanath to media.   If so, either he may meet opposition party leaders seeking their support to stop the bill or may meet his high command as a last attempt to pursue revoke its bifurcation decision. Since, he is still believed to be loyal Congress man, he can’t afford to meet the opposition leaders in his present capacity. If did, it would be nothing but drawing a line between him and the party.   He was asked to attend the war-room meeting with party high command on tomorrow evening, where he may be asked to fall in line with party or quit. If he avoids that meeting, it is throwing a challenge to his high command, with which it may be forced to dismiss him from his CM post and even party. So, his two days’ camping at New Delhi is very significant.

Will CM attend War-room meeting?

  CM Kiran Kumar Reddy is leaving for New Delhi tomorrow, not that he is invited to attend war-room meeting with his high command, but stage dharna protesting its decision of bifurcation of the state. If so, high command would have ordered him not to come to Delhi. But, it lets him land in Delhi tomorrow morning and stage dharna right under its nose.   CM Kiran has sought President Pranab Mukharji’s appointment for tomorrow or day after tomorrow. If, he is given appointment for tomorrow, he may skip the war-room meeting with his high command, otherwise he has to return to Hyderabad to skip the meeting. Earlier, he avoids attending crucial AICC meeting. He even avoids meeting party state political in-charge Digvijay Singh. So, he is likely to skip this meeting also.   If so, high command would be obliged to take action against him, but it will be too late for it because, by the time he will damage the party reputation with his dharna and rally with his MLAs, MPs and Ministers to President’s palace. Obviously, his dharna and rally will focal point for national media and opposition parties. But, the million dollar question is why high command let him do so?

BJP starts game on T-Bill

      While, Congress is trying to highlight the point that BJP has to support the Tbill for creating Telangana state, BJP is also begins the game today. Sushma Swaraj, the BJP floor leader in Parliament speaking to media “Congress which couldn’t controle its own leaders, MPS and Chief Minister, how can it run the Parliament sessions smoothly and how can introduce the T-Bill in the house, while its own MPS are disrupting the house proceedings shouting slogans. If it could manage them all, we have no objection to co-operate to it in the house. But, when Its own CM, who rejects the bill sent by it and planning stage dharna and rallies at New Delhi, how can Congress ask for our support? First let the Congress teach discipline to its own MPS and ministers and then talk about passing the T-bill,” said Sushma Swaraj.   Her statement is another indication of change of attitude in BJP’s stand on T-bill. BJP wants to transfer the blame onto Congress for playing double game on T-bill by letting its MPs create havoc in the house.

CM dares Digvijay and Jaipal Reddy

CM Kiran Kumar Reddy dares party state political in-charge Digvijay Singh and union minister Jaipal Reddy for their comments on the resolution passed against T-bill.   Speaking to media on Sunday evening “I want to know when Digvijay believes the resolution is just a white paper, then why he is so afraid of it? Why the GoM wants to take legal opinion on it? I have also worked as a Speaker before becoming Chief Minister. Hence, I know all the rules. So far around 80 resolutions passed on several occasions on voice vote and all of they have the legal and constitutional authenticity," said Kiran Kumar Reddy.   He further says, "Lok Pal Bill and Food Security bill were passed with voice vote only. Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Uttaranchal states were created with voice vote in Parliament. Then how come the resolution passed against T-bill has no authenticity? They should know the voice vote means un-opposed or un-challenged vote. So far no such resolution has been ignored by the Parliament. The resolution is Brahmastra on T-Bill. Even after knowing all these things, some seniors like Jaipal Reddy are questioning the authenticity of the resolution.”

Will high command let Kiran stage dharna at Delhi?

  Now it is confirmed that CM Kiran Kumar Reddy will hold a dharna at New Delhi on 4th February. He said that he wrote a letter to President Pranab Mukharji asking for his appointment for 4th or 5th to pursue him not allow the Centre submit the T-bill into parliament.   Now the question is will Congress high command allows him to create nuisance at New Delhi ahead of Parliament sessions? If not will Kiran drop his idea of conducting dharna and rally in New Delhi? What if he ignores to obey high command’s order? Then how Congress will react to him if he conducts dharna and rally? How many Seemandhra MPs, MLAs, Ministers will accompany him in dharna? How the absentees give explanation for not joining his dharna? There are many such questions that can get answer in the next two days.   If high command denies him permission then he may do the same at Hyderabad and submit the memorandum to Governor as an alternative plan, for which high command also may not have any objections.

Raghurama Raju joins BJP

  Raghurama Raju, who quits YSR Congress party three days ago has joined BJP in the presence of party president Rajnath Singh at New Delhi today. He flays Jagan for not giving respect to elders and seniors in the party. He said he will fight out YSR Congress party in the elections.   Although his joining into BJP draws some criticism, for it is for Telangana creation, the gradual change in its stand comes as a blessing for him. BJP is now saying that it can support the T-Bill only if Congress agrees to certain amendments that it is going to propose in the T-Bill to safeguard the interests of Seemandhra people. So, Raghurama Raju may not find any difficulty to move along with BJP in Seemandhra. Moreover, BJP is likely to enter into poll alliance with TDP. So, it will enhance his chances of winning elections. But, it will be upsetting news for TDP aspirants in Narasapuram.

Is AAP drifting away from its goal?

  Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal seems to be distracting from his goal. He is concentrating on his rivals rather than completing the tasks that he and his party have promised to people of Delhi in the elections. During party official bearers meeting held yesterday at Delhi he released a lengthy list of corrupt politicians and announces that AAP will put its candidates against all of them.   His list includes Rahul Gandhi, union ministers Chidambaram, Shinde, Kapil Sibal, Salman Kurshid, Veerappa Moili, Prakash Jaiswal, Kamalnath, GK Vasan, and hundred others. He also blames BJP and Congress party for spending Rs.500 crore each to create brand image for them to win the elections. He said such leaders to be defeated by the people as they are no way helpful to the country. He asked his party workers and leaders to prepare many such lists so as Aam Admi party can put its candidates against every corrupt politician.   Arvind Kejriwal may be correct. There may be hundreds and thousands of corrupt politicians in the country, but it doesn’t mean that he and his party leaders alone are clean and honest. There is Vinod Kumar Binny, AAP MLA, who revolts against him and his government for not giving him minister post in his cabinet. However he alleges that Arvind Kejriwal and his government is drifting away from its goal and fails to address the problems that it has promised to people of Delhi. So, if Arvind Kejriwal and his party could concentrate on implementing their poll promises rather than downgrading their party standards, it may be helpful for his party.
