Jagan Sets Deadline To Govt

Jagan Sets Deadline To Govt

YSR Congress party chief and leader of opposition, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has set one month deadline to the government of Andhra Pradesh to come out with a clarity on the farm-loan waiver scheme. Speaking to the media, Jagan has said, “we waited for more than a month now and the government is still making confusing statement on waiving of farm loans while the farmers are worried. If the government fails implement its promise, we will fight on behalf of people.”

Jagan also warned that his party will rise the issue in budget Assembly sessions which are scheduled in August. RBI gave its nod for rescheduling of farm loans yesterday and currently the Kotaiah committee is sketching out guidelines for the rescheduling. Chandrababu Naidu is likely to make a statement about rescheduling during the Assembly session. However, protest from YSRCP looks inevitable.

Congress Does Not Care About YSRCP Jagan

Congress Does Not Care About YSRCP Jagan

The events of the past month has shown Jagan in a very bad light, though he hasn't stepped outside his confinement. After amassing immense wealth and gaining the sympathy of naive commoners, the leader is losing steam. With Congress treating YSRCP as a thorn in the state, his troubles have become an ocean.

Jagan's strongest supporters until now have visibly turned against him. Konda Surekha threw trash at him following her resignation from the party. She accused him of running after money and not respecting party members. Several other MLAs have also abandoned the ship. Is the party sinking?

Congress will announce its plan for Andhra Pradesh today. Everyone is waiting with bated breath to see what would become of Ananthapur and Kurnool, where Jagan has confident support. The Centre is planning squash the YSRCP plant in the bud by dividing Rayalaseema. If his stronghold is divided, there is little chance of a positive development in this one year. By this time next year, there would be another state in India, carved out of Andhra Pradesh.

It is clear that the Center's decision on a separate state would create chaos in AP, besides the ensuing political instability. A need for a new capital and legislation takes first priority. Still, Congress does not care about YSRCP or its leader Jagan.

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.

 

Like Father Like Son

Like father..... like son: Politicking Wishesh 

Namaskaram andi!

Hope you are enjoying your special exclusive from Wishesh. Once again wishing you all Happy 2013, we try to bring out how the public like you & me feel about the present happenings. 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.

Is rapport with MIM creating problems for YSRCP: It is a known fact that (MIM) Owaisi clan and YSR clan, vibe well and share a good relationships. Another fact is that YSR Congress is gaining prominence in the Telangana region. These are two different incidents with one common reaction. The YSRCP seems to be getting into a murky situation on this.

While the TRS seems to be blaming the YSRCP over Akbaruddin's 'hate' speech, even has been overheard as blaming Jagan Mohan Reddy being instrumental for the issue. On the contrary, YSRCP  denied the whole allegation and equally condemned the issue, though after a hiatus. The delay had let the tongues wag, feel critics.

Like father..... like son: Nara Chandrabbu Naidu and his son Lokesh are people who talk the same word in different languages. Like the father tries his best to woo rural voters by his fiery speeches,  and the modern younger leader takes to his twitter account to address his literate brethren. On the other hand, media gives prominence to both campaigning leaders, with due credence. About the seniors, Vastunna Mee Kosam, crossing 1,500 kms, Lokesh expressed no surprise but admired the determination of the 63-years-old veteran, to fight for people. That sounds great!

On the contrary, men on the ruling side claim that the leader has granted 'impossible' boons to the public, enroute his padayatra. The veteran on his massive walkathon had been promising the moon for which is is little known whether the party has done some homework or if its just to garner support.

However critics felt a little uncomfortable with the schemes announced by the TDP and were short of words to express why the leaders had not implemented such welfare programs during the earlier nine year rule. Had he done it...he would not have been dethroned at all.

Blaming game: Congress and TDP go all out, without reasons, to lash at each other at every , to gain political mileage and have a dig. While the TDP is strongly holding on to its placard about the corruption in ruling party, Congress looks for various reasons.

The other day political statement by PCC Chief Botsa became a joke to the onlookers. The leader blamed the TDP over the delay of the T issue. Probably he was mentioning about the U-turn taken by TDP in 2009, after Congress hinted over Telangana formation. But to talk about it now was meaningless, felt many present over there.

Particularly after the ruling party's two member team expressed two opinions on the issue at the all-party-meet held in Delhi. In fact Congress was the only party that behaved differently while all others expressed pro-T opinions. Among all  TDP's stand was most appreciated by contemporaries cutting party lines. Yet, Botsa took an older instance to revive the blame game.

 

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.
