I don’t know why they serve no-trust:CM

  CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is delighted with the opposition parties’ no-trust-motion served against his government has said that still he doesn’t see any good reason for it. He said probably, they have tried this idea, fearing to face the upcoming local body elections, because both TRS and YSR Congress parties lacks grass-root level party cadres and infrastructure to face the elections. He said those who work hard and honestly for the party will be honored with party tickets during the upcoming local body elections. He also hints reshuffling of his cabinet very soon.   Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana and Chief Whip Gandra Venkata Ramana Reddy had a close door meeting at party Office Gandhi Bhavan on yesterday and decided to disqualify the decedent MLAs, who crosses the party lines during voting on no-trust motion. Unlike, previous announcement made by Botsa Satyanarayana of expelling the 9 MLAs, this time it is a collective decision hence, Congress party may definitely slash the decedents if necessary.

Italian Ambassador asked not to leave the country

  Supreme Court has ordered the Italian Ambassador to India Daniele Mancini not to leave the country without its permission. This order was issued by the Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir on Thursday in wake of Italian Government’s response on sending back of its two marines to India.   The court also issued notices to two Italian marines Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone, who were wanted in the killing of two Indian fisher men but allowed to leave the country on a 4 week parole for casting their votes in Italy. As the Italian ambassador, who gave undertaking to Supreme Court ensuring for their return to country on or before March 22nd and to surrender before the court for further trail has failed, Supreme Court has asked him restrain from leaving the country with out its permission.   Supreme Court bench is annoyed to hear the Italian government taking turning around on sending the two marines back to country. The court opines it is a clear breach of undertaking given by the Italian Ambassador to the country. The members of the bench AR Dave and Vikramajit Sen have said the Italian government has breached the undertaking given to highest court of the land and the government is extremely concerned about it.

Is CBI planning to hook Jagan further?

  Sri Lakshmi, who was arrested in connection with Gali Janardhan Reddy’s Obulapuram illegal mining cases and currently on bail, when seeks extension of her bail till the case is finalized, CBI gave her a shock stating it is considering to add her name into Jagan Mohan Reddy’s illegal assets cases also, as all the cases are interlinked somewhere the other. Hence, CBI argues that extending her bail is not advisable, keeping in view of the wide range of the cases.   In case if, CBI files a separate case connecting her to Jagan Mohan Reddy’s illegal assets cases, then she also will become a key source of evidence who can provide the details about all the irregularities taken place during late YSR regime that benefits Jagan Mohan Reddy. The timing of CBI’s announcement of adding Sri Lakshmi’s name to Jagan’s case, hints that it is not in a mood let him go off its hook in the near future, while he and his family members are expecting a sure bail in the next month. If, CBI files a fresh case against Sri Lakshmi before end of this month, then it will be big sign for continuation of Jagan’s imprisonment.

Who will benefit the most in No-Trust?

  The separate no-confidence motions served by TRS and YSR Congress parties, will definitely benefit Kiran Kumar Reddy and his government, where as he is expected to lose his power with them. Knowing that both parties are going to fail to make a dent on his government, Kiran Kumar Reddy can now project himself as a daredevil and a war hero, who has faced two no-confidence-motions at a time served by two major political parties of the state, which is a new record in Andhra Pradesh state history.   Kiran Kumar Reddy during his recent meeting at Mehboob Nagar has stated that the opposition parties are merely serving this no-confidence motion against his government only to safeguard their political interests. He asserted that that his government, which is widely supported by the people of the state, will continue in power till 2014 thus completing full term and obeying the people’s verdict.   Hence, the failure attempts to be made by opposition parties in the house, further boost his spirits and provides a great opportunity to boast himself before the people and his party high command as a war hero. Further, it will also come as blessing for his government to face the upcoming local body elections with his full spirits that may roll red carpet to him to lead the party in 2014 elections too.

Jagan loyalists withdraw resignation letters?

  The Jagan loyalists inside the Congress government, who submitted their resignation letters to speaker some time ago, are said to be withdrawing their resignation letters. Former minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy (from CM’s constituency in Chittoor district) has resigned to his minister post opposing Kiran Kumar Reddy’s attitude. After joining hands with YSR Congress party he also resigned to his MLA post. But, today he not only withdraws his resignation letter but also attends the Assembly proceedings. However, he said that he has withdrawn his resignation letter only to vote against Kiran Kumar Reddy government during no-confidence motion by TRS. If sources are to be believed rest of the Jagan loyalists in Congress party may follow him.

TRS move to distract Babu Padayatra!

  TDP is completely cornered with TRS and YSR Congress parties over no trust motion. It has no perfect answer to their questions for not supporting the no-trust move to be forwarded by TRS. Hence, TDP is desperately looking for a way out from the situation. TDP senior leaders, who are troubling to defend themselves from the rival attacks, have been firing their guns aimlessly.   TDP senior leader Revanth Reddy has said TDP will support the no-trust motion only when TRS and YSR Congress leaders swear on their respective leaders statues, stating that they will never join hands with Congress party in future. Nevertheless, it turns a big jok in the political circles. Now it is Payyavula Keshav’s turn to cut another joke to defend from the rival attacks. He said TRS has intentionally planned this no-trust move idea to distract the people, who were completely absorbed into Chandrababu Naidu’s padayatra.   If, Payyavula would have said these words while Chandrababu is doing padayatra in Telangana region, one could justify his statement. But, when he is doing padayatra far away from Telangana region and that is no way connected to no-confidence motion, his statement wonders how is he linking the padayatra with no-trust move. Instead of making such silly statements, would he gave a fitting reply or exact reason for not supporting the no-trust motion, it could be justified in the political circles. But, this kind of response from a matured politician like Payyavula cuts down his status in political circles

The Italian troubles

  India has been always found struck with Italian deals come it may be Bofors scandal or Augusta Helicopter’s scandal or the current Italian Navy Marine’s case.   The two Italian Navy marines-Massimiliano and Salvatore, who were found guilty for killing the two Indian fisher man in the Indian territorial waters off the Kerala coast in the last year, were allowed to return home for voting in the elections after they gave an undertaking to the apex court on February 22nd of assuring to attend the court proceedings. Earlier, they were allowed to go home to attend the Christmas celebrations and returned to India as promised to the court. But, this time the Italian External Ministry has refused to send them back to India.   This lead to uproar in the Parliament by opposition which demands the government to ensure the two marines return to India for facing the trail. Indian Ministry of External Affairs has summoned the Italian ambassador to India Daniele Mancini and conveyed its objections over Italian government’s decision and asked him to pressurize his government to honor the orders of Supreme Court. However, the Italian government, which thinks otherwise, has decided to let the case handle by international arbitrator rather than Supreme Court of India.   The Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh answering to a question raised by the opposition parties in the parliament has said the Italian government's decision was unacceptable and it will not be taken lightly. But, keeping in view our past experiences, it is to be understood that this case also will be shelved during the course of time like several other cases.

TDP not to support no-confidence motion

  TDP has decided not to support the no-confidence motion to be brought by TRS against Kiran Kumar Reddy government. Chandrababu, who had a video conference meeting with his party seniors from west Godavari district yesterday, has declared that his party will not support the move made by TRS as he believes that the time is not ripe for such decisions.   Chandrababu believes that any such idea will provide ample scope to YSR Congress party for indulging in horse trading of its MLAs, instead of bringing down the ruling Congress government. Hence, TDP has decided not to succumb to TRS pressures in this regard. Chandrababu said that his party will serve the no-confidence notice to government, only when it feels necessary. Since he couldn’t attend the state Assembly sessions that commence from Wednesday, he instructed his party leaders to keep reporting about the house proceedings so as he can guide them to take appropriate decision.   TRS and YSR Congress party flays Chandrababu for maintaining double standards in handling the Congress party.

Is Sharmila assured of Jagan’s bail?

  YSR Congress party leader Sharmila has again assured the people that soon her brother Jagan Mohan Reddy will come out of the jail. She told this during her padayatra at Solasa village in Guntur district yesterday. She assured the villagers that her brother will come out soon and bring back those golden days of her father late YSR. She might have made this statement because Jagan Mohan Reddy’s lawyers have assured so.   They seem to be banking on the Supreme Court’s last instruction given to CBI, in which it asks to complete the investigation at the earliest or it has to consider Jagan’s bail application. Perhaps, they are assuming that CBI fails to meet the deadline set by Supreme Court and hence the court is going to grant bail to their client definitely in the next month. Hence, they might be assuring YSR family members and the same assurance has been passed to people by Sharmila during her padayatra.

Why the T-Cong. MPs visit New Delhi often?

  T-Congress MPs have again visited New Delhi yesterday and met Union Ministers Vayalar Ravi and Ghulamnabi Azad. This time they have other than Telangana issue to highlight in their visit. They have narrated their miserable condition in the Telangana region and requested them to speed up the Telangana process.   Then, they even set a deadline of one month time for the party high command to make an announcement on Telangana issue. K.Jana Reddy, who also accompanied them, has told the Union Ministers that he is ready to quit his post if the party fails to make an announcement within one month.   Later, all of they have complained against CM Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana. They said both of they are keeping them away from the party and government affairs and not even bothers to inform them about the ongoing activities. They complained that the duo are showing discrimination against all the Telangana leaders and not even giving their due respect. As usually, Vayalar Ravi assured them that he will take the matter to Madam Sonia Gandhi’s notice.   But, while knowing that the party high command rely upon the CM and PCC President in handling the state affairs, then how can they expect it hear their complaint and take action against the duo? When few days ago the same Minister Vayalar Ravi has stated ‘Declaring Telangana is not as easy as making a Dosa,’ then what is the use of meeting him again with same demand?   Even when, Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has made it clear that Telangana issue can’t be solved in near future then what is the use of meeting and appealing them with same demands? Perhaps, the intention behind their visit is to highlight their efforts and interest in Telangana issue their present visit is to highlight their interest and efforts on Telangana to the people of their region and not that they have come there expecting their high command hear what they are demanding. The wide media coverage of their visit to New Delhi helps them in underlining their efforts, which they exactly expect for.

Revanth demands TRS and YSRCP to pledge against Cong.

  As the TRS and YSR Congress parties have declared their readiness to topple Kiran Kumar Reddy government, all eyes now turn toward TDP, which is hesitating to support no-trust motion to be served by TRS. Responding to the intensified attacks by the duo, TDP senior leader Revanth Reddy has come up with a silly argument to defend his party.   He challenged TRS president K.Chandrashekar rao whether he can take pledge on Prof.Jayashankar and Telangana Talli statues agreeing not to join hands with Congress party in the future? He also asks YSRCP leaders Vijayamma, Sharmila and Jagan the same question taking pledge on late YSR’s ‘Samadhi’ at Idupulapaya. If, they can make promises TDP is ready to support no confidence motion.   The standards of our so called genius politicians’ statements, demands, assurances, live debates in news channels and their speeches have fallen to such a level that even common people hates to listen to them. Yet, they continue their practice as if they were unaware of the people’s response.

Earthquake Shakes Wide Area of S. California

    An earthquake rolled through a wide swath of Southern California late Monday morning but there were no immediate reports of damage.   The 9:55 a.m. quake had an estimated magnitude of 4.7, said Nick Scheckel, seismic analyst at the California Institute of Technology's seismological laboratory. He said a number of aftershocks were occurring.   The epicenter was about a dozen miles from the desert town of Anza, about 100 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The temblor was felt sharply in the local area and caused a swaying or rolling motion in Los Angeles and San Diego. Near the epicenter, Palms Springs police Sgt. Harvey Reed said his department received no reports of damage or injuries. There were no other immediate reports of damage in the region. Susie Bride, a cashier at Cahuilla Mountain Market and Cafe in Anza, said the quake seemed to last awhile but didn't do any damage to the business. "It kind of shook and then I thought, 'God, is that an earthquake?' It kind of shook and then it rolled a little bit and then it shook again," she said.

I won’t feel sorry for Ram Singh’s suicide!

  Senior BJP leader M Venakayya Naidu has told the media that he is not feeling sorry for Ram Singh, the prime accused of Delhi gang rape case for committing suicide inside Tihar jail on yesterday as he deserve that  punishment. He said the incident highlights the negligent attitude of jail officials. However, he said investigation to be conducted on how an under trail can commit suicide with so much security posted around.

Is Jayasudha looking towards TDP?

  Congress MLA from Secunderabad constituency Jayasudha has submitted her resignation to CM Kiran Kumar Reddy three days ago in protest against considering candidature of former Mayor of the city Karitik Reddy’s husband for MLC post. However, the name was not appeared in the list as predicted by her. CM also ignores her resignation letter as he could understand her position. She said that she will continue in Congress until she completes her term and plans to quit the party even politics as she understood that she is not fit for politics.   However, her earlier efforts to join YSR Congress party reveals that she still has some political interests, but couldn’t find a right platform to continue. Hence, the only alternative left for her is TDP, where there are several film personalities to make her feel at home. Hence, she is expected to approach TDP before taking a decision of leaving the politics. Since, she is an honest woman she may stick to Congress party till elections are declared and then may either join TDP or depart from politics forever.

What stops TDP and YSRCP go against Congress?

TRS president KCR’s sudden announcement of serving no-trust motion against ruling Congress government puts both TDP and YSR Congress parties in an embarrassing situation.Neither they can join hands with TRS nor they can stay away from it. Both of they have their own reasons to sit quite in this situation.   Congress ultimatum to Jagan loyalists inside the party hints that it won’t hesitate to disqualify them if they revolt against the party during no-trust motion. If, YSRCP tries to join hands with TRS, then its 9 MLAs inside the Congress will be at stake. If, they prefer to stay with Congress only, then it will lose them merely for nothing.   Hence, it can’t afford to join hands with TRS at this moment. More over, if it joins hands with TRS and topples Congress government, it has to face elections without its President leading it. At the same time, it even can’t stay away from its proposal, because it may strengthen the allegations made against it by TRS and TDP of having secret pact with Congress party. So, YSR Congress party is in a big dilemma in this issue.   TDP fears that in case if it joins hands with TRS and try to topple Kiran Kumar Reddy government, ultimately it will lead to an unholy alignment between Congress and YSRCP, which it never wants to happen. With YS Vijayamma’s latest statement of ready to join hands with Congress lead UPA alliance, TDP is scared to see any positive development in that direction. Hence, if TDP joins hands with TRS and topple Kiran government, TDP believes that it will provide a great opportunity for YSRCP to bargain and make a permanent pact with ruling Congress party, which may ultimately, brings out Jagan Mohan Reddy out of jail and make its job further tough.   So, it is also scared to join no trust motion with TRS. But, at the same time it can’t stay away from the no-trust motion, as it provides TRS a new weapon to attack TDP in the Telangana region. Hence, TDP is also feels cornered with TRS move. So, it is high time for the four major political parties to play their cards and win this political game.
