Caught: Congress Leaders Fight

Congress leaders are known to be more democratic. Many leaders criticise others and few even dare and open their mouth against high command and the top leaders. Coming to the point, yesterday, Congress leaders Vishnuvardhan Reddy and Vamsi Chand Reddy were involved in a fight at wedding and even went to file a complaint against each other.

The CCTV visuals of the fight were out and it clearly showed that former MLA Vishnuvardhan Reddy first man-handled Vamsi Chand who just arrived at the venue. Later on Vamsi was attacked by mob of Vishnu supporters. Not stopping their, Vishnu even threatened Vamsi to come for a street fight anywhere in Hyderabad.

Nobody Can Hatao Congress Chiranjeevi

Congress leader and Tourism Minister Chiranjeevi responded to Pawan Kalyan's comments on Congress party and his slogan. Speaking to the media, Chiranjeevi said, "Congress has 125 years history and nobody can do anything for it. Pawan Kalyan called himself Indian, it is good but the Congress party was sole reason for bringing Independence and recognition to every citizen.”

Chiru furhter added that, Pawan is an individual and has all the rights to establish a political party. “Coming to the bifurcations, Congress party is being blamed here but I say all the parties who gave letter in favor of Telangana are also responsible for it,” said Chiru trying to push the topic.

Chiru confessed that he did not yet understand Pawan Kalyan party's ideologies and will reply to them appropriate time.

Overall Chiranjeevi tried all his efforts to defend Congress party as well as his brother Pawan Kalyan and so he did not attack or made any personal statements. Nobody Can Hatao Congres

Andhra Pradesh Two States Two Chief Ministers

Andhra Pradesh Two States Two Chief Ministers | Finally... Two States, Two Chief Ministers 

The Congress Party has zeroed upon suitable candidates for Chief Minsiter posts in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states. Sources are believed that ex-ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy and Kanna Lakshmi Narayana names were finalized by the Congress high command and they are likely to be appointed as Chief Ministers for both the Telugu states. Also Congress opined that President Rule in the current state would bring many issues and headaches. The general elections in the state are also likely to get delayed in view of bifurcation and the Election Commission of India [ECI] is taking account of all possibilities for smoother process of the polls.

Uttam Kumar and Kanna have been strong contenders for the CM post and coming to individuals, here are short stories of the future Chief Ministers.

 

 

Who is Kanna Lakshminarayana?

Kanna Lakshimnarayana has been in Congress since 1989. He won from Pedakurapadu, the biggest constituency in Andhra Pradesh, for four straight terms, from 1989 to 2004. In 2009, YSR moved Kanna to Guntur [West] where the Kapu Community has strong foundation. Congress seems to be moving all efforts to attract the Kapu community and so thought Kanna would be the ideal person who can bring votes to the Party. Kanna also never spoke against anybody in the party and was always in favor of Congress decisions. After the Congress Working Committee decision on Telangana, Kanna personally met Sonia Gandhi and rumors floated at the one point of time that he might replace Kiran. Kanna has also very good relations with Delhi Congress leaders and they believed to have lot hopes on him. He headed Agriculture & Agriculture Technology Mission portfolio in Kiran Kumar Reddy cabinet. Kanna has long tiff with MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao. Rayapati openly accused Kanna but Kanna did not opened his mouth and said anything against him.

Who is Uttam Kumar Reddy?

Uttam Kumar Reddy is Congress MLA from 1999. He represented from Kodad constituency twice [in 1999 and 2004] and in 2009 he contested from Huzurnagar. In Kiran's cabinet Housing, Weaker Section Housing Programme, AP Cooperative Housing Societies Federation and AP Housing Board portfolio was headed by Uttam. He is dead oppose against the Komati Reddy brothers in Nalgonda and openly criticized them for making statements against Kiran Kumar Reddy before the Telangana decision was made. Uttam backed Kiran government in all attempts but after Kiran's revolt against high command on Telangana, he kept distance. After Kiran's resgination, Uttam met Congress high command leaders secretly and requested them to consider his name for the CM post. The Reddy factor may help Congress in Telangana region as in 2009 more number of this community leaders won the elections with ease.

They Don't Digest Our Popularity- Modi

They Don't Digest Our Popularity- Modi

The BJP Prime Minitsterial Candidate Narendra Modi complains that the popularity BJP is getting is not digestible to Congress Party which is making the party to use CBI to go after the supporters of BJP.  Narendra Modi attended a public meeting at Bangalore which is the first visit after he was announced as the Prime Ministerial candidate of BJP.  He said that the Government is trying to throw mud on BJP and also trying to smear his personal image.  

He also complained that the Congress party is sitting pretty in ivory tower not able to curb the prices and utterly failed in solving the problems of the people of India.  Modi says that they are playing an indoor game where the BJP is playing outdoors.  

Addressing about 4 lakhs of people gathered to attend the meeting Modi questioned whether the tabs Government is putting on the opinion polls is correct.  He also questioned whether asking Lata Mangeshkar to return Bharata Ratna is correct simply because she expressed her view that she wanted to see him (Modi) as Prime Minister of India.  

Modi said that the priority of BJP is to empower India but not to empower the party with vote bank politics like Congress party does.

State is Divided Only Formalities are Left

State is Divided Only Formalities are Left

On the last day of submission of the opinion of the political parties to GoM, Congress Party showed different opinion on the issue of State bifurcation.

It looks strange that the Congress party that has started the State bifurcation plan and adamantly sticking to its implementation has failed in uniting the party leaders on its stand on bifurcation.  The Congress Party in the State is not having a common stand.  The party has submitted different opinions to GoM on the bifurcation in the all party opinion gathered with November 5 as the last day to submit.

But it is not strange if one sees at it intently.

It is the ingenuity of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti leaders particularly the party President K Chandrasekhara Rao to divide the people of the State first.  A division was successfully made in the employees’ unions, labor unions, political leaders, students, film industry, media, administration, police department, excise, real estate and many other sections in the society.  Even the priests from Brahmin community were not left by KCR in his plan of dividing.

That way the division is already over among the people of the State. A strong feeling of regionalism has been successfully induced. Hearts were already divided. Only division left now is in the formal division of administration and sharing of assets and revenues. The boundaries are to be specified again which is already clear.

That way Congress party is not the solitary sufferer of the division in the party.  TDP is also facing the same problem.  That is why the party is boycotting the GoM and not giving its opinion as it is not a unified opinion.  But Congress party cannot do it because of which it has to submit three different opinions from the congress party leaders from three regions.  It can be the plan of en mass resignations, inviting other party leaders into the party with honors or it can be making of long promises to the employees, or it can be calling the leaders of other parties as traitors of Telangana, but KCR achieved in bifurcating the people of the State which made the ruling Congress party to follow in a formal way at least to get the credit of it.

TRS And Congress Who Can Claim Fruits

Between TRS and Congress who can claim fruits?

With the Cabinet's approval of Telangana carving from AP, the congress party proved that it is going on with its promise which surely is going to gain goodwill for the party if it is properly presented.  

The congress party by showing its not caring the seemandhra protests also showed that it is favoring Telangana people and valuing their sentiment.   

The lengthy account in the Telanaga Note of how Telangana Movement started and how Congress party finally delivered its promise it made as an election manifesto in 2004 and how the events have taken turns but how the party sticks to its original promise and had been working to achieve it in spite of the protests from Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.  

The explanation covered the Srikrishna Committee that is called by TRS as ‘dikkumalina committee’ and its report as favoring Seemandhra after taking feasts from Seemandhras.  It also explains Chidambaram’s announcement.  

As the congress party is cleverly making its ground strong, TRS is busily engaged in making suitable actions not to lose ground in the political arena.  

The TRS Presidnet K Chandrasekhara Rao had a meeting with the main leaders of the party at his farm house at Venkatapuram in Medak district to chalk out a plan of action in the present situation.  

In the Telangana Note Sushil Kumar Shinde submitted to the Cabinet, the justification was given for bifurcating the state in which the series of events were shown in which it narrated in such a way that the party’s efforts are continuously made towards Telangana formation.  

The TRS party which had been telling that it is formed for the benefit of getting a separate state for the people of Telangana and the leaders of the party are not interested in the political gain and positions is now totally taken on the wrong foot by the Congress.  As the leaders of the party have been fighting for so long, it is only natural that they developed expectations of getting some power in the administration of the newly formed state.  But the attitude of the Congress party which has not mentioned the TRS party anywhere in the report is certainly heading for a total control on the new state.

The same way KCR too did not take the name of the Congress party in his speech in Sakala Jana Bheri at Hyderabad.  Instead he mentioned the efforts of the opposition party BJP and expressed his confidence that the separate State of Telangana will be realty even if Congress doesn’t do it as BJP is ready for it.  Meaning the power will be shifted from Congress to BJP in the coming elections and BJP as it is ready for the formation of Telangana as it has been promising, Telangana people will certainly get it either from this party or from that party at the center.  

Now it is between TRS and Congress now to claim the fruits of the formation of the separate State of Telangana.

Common Problems Of Seemandhra And T Leaders

Common Problems Of Seemandhra And T Leaders

AICC after due deliberations on the State division of AP, is going to present the issue in the meetings with UPA and Congress Working Committees at 4.00 and 5.30 pm today to take a final decision, on which the future of the State of Andhra Pradesh depends.  

Now the point has gone beyond the question of whether the State should be divided or not.  Congress party has already come to a decision to divide it from the reports received so far.  The sudden fast track taken by the Congress party has taken the party leaders belong to Seemandhra by surprise who were under the assurance that carving of Telangana with Hyderabad will not materialize. 

The arguments put forth by the Seemandhra leaders became futile attempts for the determined Congress Party High Command. 

Now the leaders are facing the same problem as faced by the Telangana leaders previously.  Telangana leaders could not face people of their constituencies because of the indecision of Congress party.  Now the Andhra leaders are facing problem with their supporters in their region because of the decision of the Congress party to divide the State.  

The Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy who has proved his loyalty to the party and high respect to the High Command at all times also opposed strongly for the bifurcation of the State in addition to the representations given by the Union Ministers and MPs belong to the party.  

Seemandhra leaders used all their dices to change the mind of the party high command.  They suggested that the party will lose in the State if a decision is taken in favor of the formation of the State of Telangana with 10 districts carving out from Andhra Pradesh.  As a last resort Kiran Kumar Reddy reportedly urged the Center not to announce its decision until the Panchayat and Urban body elections are over. 

In spite of all this The AICC is going very fast in taking the decision approved by CWC which is driving the Seemandhra leaders mad.  They camped at Delhi, held meetings, took decisions and met all the leaders at Delhi but of no apparent use.

As Telangana leaders threatened with resignations, the Seemandhra leaders too used the same threats but the high command seems to have no impact of it.  The way Telangana leaders said at that time that it was becoming difficult for them to move in their constituencies, Seemandhra leaders too expressed the same thing for which what they got was protections!
