Jagan Threatens Assembly Speaker

Jagan Threatens Assembly Speaker

Andhra Pradesh opposition leader YS Jagan has threatened Assembly speaker Kodela Sivaprasad Rao of moving no confidence motion against him for being biased in the House. Jagan after the Assembly session, held a press meet at Assembly committee hall and also blamed electronic media for being supportive to the government and not showing the opposition party's efforts in the House.

“Speaker Kodela is indirectly supporting TDP government and accordingly our voice in the house is being reduced. Also suspending our MLAs is unfair and we demand Speaker to immediately lift the suspension and also take back the notice given to one more MLA,” said Jagan giving warning to the Kodela. Jagan also lashed out at the TDP leaders who are constantly blaming him of taking about two hours of time while debating on AP budget. “I started my speech at 11:08 AM and ended it at 1:40 PM. I spoke for about two and half hours but I was interrupted by TDP leaders 17 times which wasted 106 minutes of my time. I did not deviate from the subject and what promises TDP made before elections and how many funds were allocated to respective schemes and ministry were the highlights of the debate. Speaker Kodela disconnected by mike and allowed TDP leaders to reply when it was my turn, probably nowhere in the country this would happen,” added Jagan.

While the TDP has hit back at Jagan and his party in this regards. Somebody was writing technical details of AP budget outside the house and Jagan is just reading out those papers. His arguments don't have credibility and it shows his lack of experience. Coming to the time issue, Jagan spoke for about one hour and 50 minutes, probably no opposition leader will be given such an opportunity and Speaker Kodela gave ample of time for YSRCP. Still, Jagan is confined to accuse the government, said a TDP leader.

Chandrababu To Launch A Channel

Chandrababu To Launch A Channel ?

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is in thoughts to launch a television channel. Though Chandrababu Naidu and TDP has the support of many media houses, Chandrababu opined to have a own channel which emphasis the party irrespective of the government. The discussions for establishing a channel was held couple of days back and clarity on the launch may arrive in coming days.

TDP insiders also feel that the party is lacking behind in owning a channel which elevates party to the people. Nara Lokesh may be assigned to the task of recruiting the staff, if  the launch of channel is confirmed.

Pawan Kalyan The X Man Of AP Politics

Pawan Kalyan The X Man Of AP Politics

Pawan Kalyan hurt by the Andhra Pradesh bifurcation, stormed into politics. With minimal political experience, Pawan's re-entry was huge sensation. Launching massive attack on the parties for dividing the state in a ruthless manner, Pawan gave a thought of contesting the elections. However political parties started worrying about the split in the votes with Pawan's arrival and his party Jana Sena.

As this split of votes touched Pawan's ears, he withdrew the thought of contesting the elections. At the Vizag public meeting, Pawan made it clear that he did not enter the politics for the sake of money or any lucrative post. “I came to question,” was Pawan's slogan. In Hyderabad meeting Pawan claimed Chandrababu as good person and in Vizag meeting Pawan openly supported Narendra Modi as PM candidate and also said that he would meet him.

In this mean time Modi wave also passed through him. After hectic brain storming, Pawan decided to support BJP and TDP in the elections. Firstly, Pawan appealed to all his fans to support Modi as PM and TDP in the state. Having said that Pawan did not restrict himself to words, he campaigned aggressively in Telangana and Seemandhra region. We can't judge in Telangana whether Pawan's campaign helped or not because of the Telangana sentiment factor which is much stronger but in Seemandhra, Pawan will be the deciding factor for the BJP and TDP.

TDP went alone in Municipal, ZPTC and MPTC elections and the results were very much in favor of the cycle party. With Pawan extending the support for general elections, the results of these elections can be expected one sided. Definitely we can predict that Pawan's support we make a big difference for TDP where the party is strong and wherever it is lagging behind, Pawan can pull the strings and minimize defeat level. Overall Pawan acted like Lord Sri Krishna in Kurukshetra battle..

Did Pawan really influence people and have they voted for TDP, well these two questions can be answered on May 16th, the day election results will be out. The real test starts for TDP if it forms government in Seemandhra. As we know Pawan who also claimed that he won't mind dragging anybody to public if failed to fulfill the promises made.

Jr.NTR Wantonly Kept At A Distance

Jr.NTR Wantonly Kept At A Distance

Everyone has got a power of imagination.  When the explanation of others match our own we accept them.  Or they should appeal to us as logical to accept.  

Mahanadu of TDP was started and concluded but still the issue of Jr.NTR being absent to the grand annual show of TDP is in discussion and interests everyone.  Junior always states that TDP is his grandfather’s founded party and he always treats the party as his own and always wishes the best.  He claims that NTR gave him inspiration and also features to resemble the adored actor.  But he still maintained distance from Mahanadu.   Jr.NTR says that he was not invited to Mahanadu.  

The news became interesting as the news of an in fight between Nandamuri and Nara families was renting the air for some time.  It is also commented in the news that the fight is for the power in the party.  Chandra Babu Naidu wants his son Lokesh to become his heir to take reins of TDP and Harikrishna wants his son Jr.NTR as per the analysis made by the media.  Although it was denied by both of them, keeping away Jr.NTR from attending Mahanadu formed part in the latest news.  

It is quite understandable from the point of view of making Lokesh Babu a center of attraction.  It is our tradition to keep younger sister of a bride away while the bride is introduced to the prospective bride groom particularly when the younger one is more attractive.  Same thing happened here.  Jr.NTR is more attractive and a better public speaker than Lokesh and as such may steal the show in the Mahanadu which is being used as a launch pad for Lokesh to take off in to the political field.  

We can accept this theory if it appeals to us or if it matches with our own imagination.

Ashamed Of Being A Congress Man

Ashamed of being a Congress man?: Politicking Wishesh 

Namaskaram andi!

Hope you are enjoying your special exclusive from Wishesh. First on the agenda is our homage to the departed legendary leader who strived for the masses during his tenure as the Chief Minister of the state for three consecutive teems between 1984- 1995, N T Rama Rao the founder of TDP. The visionary leader was no short of a divine miracle in bringing back smiles on the faces of the weaker sections with his Rs2 per a kilo of rice. He is respected and revered by the public even to this day on his 17th death anniversary. His rule was the golden period in Telugu era known as Rama Rajyam.' Wishesh bows to the leader who was a legend in the tinsel world and in the political arena, equally. There was none before or after like him. Sir, we await your rebirth to give us another glimpse of such a rich saga. .......................(Wishesh AarKay)  

Ashamed of being a Congress man?: Many Congress leaders from Seemandhra expressed their discontent over strong signals from the central high command that T state formation is on the anvil. Reacting sharply to such issues many leaders openly spoke their dissent over the issue. However one leader a sitting MLA from Pedana, Krishna district had gone overboard with his quotes.

Jogi Ramesh voiced his ire on the Congress high command over its alleged proposal to bifurcate the state. He warned that their would be mass resignations of Seemandhra leaders from the party after any such announcements. Not staying at that point he also claimed that they would teach the party, a lesson. He added that he was  ashamed of being in Congress. This was something that would not go down well with the seniors, if this statement is recorded, claim political whiz.    

Settlers have come in search of a living, now they want to stakes!: The TRS leader and senior member of the KCR clan, K T Ramarao claimed that Seemandhra leaders came as settlers to Hyderabad for a living and they have started to stake their claim on the city which is a part of the Telangana that TRS dreamy of. Is it right on the part of the senior leader to voice in such disgrace manner. This leader was born in Siddipet to parents who had generations back, migrated to these parts.

KTR did his education in Guntur and worked in US. With such a diverse background his narrow talks surprised many. Politically fighting for a cause is a different issue and branding Seemandhra people as 'settlers' is indigestible felt many. Leaders who aspire to don dominant role in the near future must edit their speeches as their words are Commandments to the masses.

Referendum on Hyderabad, TRS consents!: Owing to the speculation over making the state capital as a union territory there are rumors doing the rounds that the TRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao is prepared for a referendum to judge the mass opinion on the issue. The need arises after many leaders of the GHMC demanded a separate Hyderabad cutting party lines.

It is quite surprising that the leader opts for this choice as till date there is not much on records about leaders from Hyderabad participating in the Telangana agitation. And in this situation does he bank on the OU students and T JAC government officers who supported the agitation to be in his favour. However referendum would mean only elected leaders opinion poll. Will his ambition of uniting Hyderabad with the rest of Telangana come true?

 

United We Fall, Divided We Stand Is T Anthem

United we fall, divided we stand is T anthem: Politicking Wishesh 

Namaskaram andi!

Hope you are enjoying your special exclusive from Wishesh. So back from your Sankranti vacations, hope all of you enjoyed the celebrations. Before you get into hectic schedules, we try to bring out how the public like you & me feel about the present happenings. This is just the lighter side of the issue while no harm is intended to anyone. This section includes gossips from the grapevine for reader enrichment. Do send in your comments or criticism for us to give you the best.............................................(Wishesh AarKay)  

United we fall, divided we stand is T anthem: Well over the years India a land with diverse cultures had emphasized on the tag line that 'Unity in Diversity.' But the situation in Andhra Pradesh is slightly different, the state is reeling under acute pressure for a division which seems to be at the moment on the agenda of the central government, as well. On one side the Telangana leaders are fighting for carving out a separate state from the unified Andhra Pradesh. On the other side, we have Seemandhra leaders struggling to keep the state united.

To the common man does a division make any difference, not much only his mobile bills might increase as he will be in roaming. Are our brethren from either sides have not been working in other states and countries too. Nevertheless is is just the power hungry tribe that is gambling with the sentiments. Every one wants his way and wants to take credit at the cost of the common loss. While the Seemandhra 'Naayaks' want to safe guard their interests, which are in abundant, in the T region. The T 'Naiks' want to usurp the well developed real estate.

On the whole, every one has his own goal but the irony is that in the name of agitation they ruin their own assets, which would push the region back by many years in development. Whether Andhra or T, India is one and we are all Indians, that is the permanent fact.

Seemandhra leaders meet in Hyd: After the centre showing interests to divide the state, worried Seemandhra leaders who failed to convince the high command to refrain from separate the state, are holding a meeting in Hyderabad to chart their plans to oppose the move. However they are opposed by Their T counterparts who do not want them to hold meetings in Hyderabad.

Till today Hyderabad is the capital of the unified state and the Leaders from other side do have rights to hold a meeting in any part. If it is a four-walled meet, it is the discretion of the participants to voice their own opinion on any issue under the sun, at least that is what we call as democracy.

We want Hyd State: With Congress sending feelers for T formation, another issue seems to rock the region. Many leaders of the state capital want the GHMC area to be demarcated as a separate state. They expressed that Hyderabad was a place of living for many migrants of various states across the nation and hence cosmopolitan in nature. By making it separate entity all their interests would be safe guarded. This opinion had been supported by many industrial bigwigs too, and seems to be an approved thought lingering in the minds of the leaders of the either sides, as well.

However the the T JAC Supremo Prof Kodanadaram was vehemently opposing any such move and said that there is no compromise in Telanagana with capital as Hyderabad. So after the T issue, Hyderabad row is sure to rock the state for some time since January 28, when the Centre would announce its decision on the precarious issue. On the whole, this T solution is surely not going to bring respite to Hyderabadis as the next one is brewing already.

 

Padayatara Special

Padayatara Special: Politicking Wishesh 

Namaskaram andi!

Hope you are enjoying your special exclusive from Wishesh.  This is just to bring out the lighter side of the issue while no harm is intended to anyone. This section includes gossips from the grapevine for reader enrichment. In today's columns we shall discuss about Padayatra political saga for garnering public vote, various thoughts expressed by leaders on the ongoing trends.  Do send in your comments or criticism for us to give you the best..............(Wishesh AarKay)  

History of Padayatra: Probably Padayatra or walkathon's started long ago, but those days they were part of human life as an efficient mode of transport was not available. But now a days it has become a way to enlighten public and to assure them of ones availability. Those days due to lack of proper transport they used to walk, but these days our leaders walk as their air conditioned, well-equipped vehicles follow them enroute.

TDP doyen and founder N T Ramarao, was the known modern leader who started this mass contact program of reaching the public with his bus yatra in the early 80's and that made him the first non-congress Chief Minister to rule the state in 1983.

Then we had the late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy who embarked on a walkathon in 2003 covered 1475 km during hot summers covering 33 constituencies. The event Prasthanam, reinstated Congress in power after a long gap in 2004. and since then has been ruling the state.

And now our TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu embarked on Vastunna Mee Kosam and has successfully gone past YSR by completing 1500kms covering 40 constituencies. Babu wanted to enlighten the corrupt practices of the ruling party that had led to the downfall of the state in amny ways.

On the other hand YSR's daughter, Sharmila also went on a Padayatra, 'Maro Prasthanam' but had to cut short the journey due to an injury. Sharmila wanted to highlight the ways her brother was detained on vindictive stances by the ruling party hand-in-glove with the opposition.

The irony was that a 60+ old veteran with all complications like diabetes and BP is able to walk healthy and cover 1500 kms while a young woman who was hale and healthy had cut short her walkathon citing injury. Anyways we have to move on to discuss what the leaders are feeling about these yatras.

Babu's Padayatra is just for records: YSRCP MLA, Gadikota Srikanth Reddy expressed that Babu's padayatra was only for records. He also criticized the senior leader for embarking on a 'morning walk' type walkathon. If Babu's walk is as the leader describes than what should Sharmila's yatra be called as?

No-crowd Padayatra: Congress chief whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy claimed that Babu's padayatra was a n-crowd padayatra. While in reality media images revealed large gatherings at each of the meetings of the veteran enroute. The Congress leader adds that the party activists are struggling to bring in crowds. He also claimed that Babu's event was mainly to avoid many political embarrassing situations, for which he had no answer and divert public attention.

On the whole, at the moment Babu has bettered all records and is leading all the way. However in comparison to the salient points that were achieved by YSR and Babu while in rule, the former had opted for people's welfare while the later opted for infrastructure development (http://www.andhrawishesh.com/home/hot-buzz/36366-babu-becomes-maha-netha-.html). 

Both were right and visionaries, in their own perspective. Hope we get the next leader who is a right blend of these two stalwarts.
