The Visakhapatnam city faced its worst natural disaster in recent times with Cyclone Hudud, and battering its infrastructure and paralyzing life. The city is in shambles with trees and transformers uprooted, petrol bunks smashed and residents suffering without water, power and milk supply.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today surprised many when he decided to wield the camera at a formal interaction with journalists in the national capital, his first since coming to power in May. 

While the BJP’s official photographer at the party headquarter was busy clicking pictures of the Prime Minister, the latter suddenly stopped to say it was now his turn to take a picture of him.

A desperate KCR has publicly appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the man who he called as Sannasi for help. This is after facing flak from various quarters over his inept handling of the power issue, resulting in the suicides of at least three farmers on an average each day. 

KCR is now seen being seen once again at his vitriolic best where he called the TDP boss and Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu a ‘dayyam’ (devil) and held him responsible for the power woes of Telangana. KCR announced that Telangana would be knocking the doors of Supreme Court over Naidu’s refusal to provide electricity from the power plant in Krishnapatnam adding that his state should be getting 1,422 Megawatts from Krishnapatnam and Hinduja plants. 

Many political seniors and analysts are saying it is surprising to see how this man who doesn’t respect any authority is now seeking Centre’s help to resolve the power situation in Telangana. Unless the centre intervenes, the situation is not going to change.

Telangana TDP leader and Kondangal MLA Revanth Reddy, who always take centre stage when it comes to criticizing KCR and TRS, does it again. Hitting hard this time around, Reddy said, “KCR is bluffing people of Telangana and farmers with half-baked truths. All his statements are bundle of lies.  

After doing extensive research, Reddy shared the facts with media, “Ever since Telangana has been carved out, 273 Million Units of power have been additionally used by Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh has lost those 273 Million Units of power to Telangana.” Reddy said that Telangana is getting power through three forms- Hidal power, Thermal power and Central Government distributed power. Revanth blamed KCR for suicides of farmers and pointed out at his lack of inefficiency. “KCR is passing the buck and blaming Chandrababu Naidu for no reason. It’s deliberate attempt to demean TDP in Telangana,” Reddy said. However, Revanth didn’t stop there. “KCR seems to be drunk while making statements against Mr Chandrababu, ” Reddy lashed out. 

Revanth further said, “Only because of Chandrababu, Telangana at least getting 54% of power. During bifurcation of state, assets and debts have been distributed such that AP bore the brunt. While Telangana got only 42%, AP was allotted 58% of debts. In that case, Telangana should only get 42% power and AP should get 58% power. Contrary to this, Telangana is getting 54% power now and the credit goes to Chandrababu. Since he has big heart for farmers in Telangana, we’re given 54% power. Had he approached courts, the issue would have been different now.”

Revanth Reddy vowed that all his figures and statements are true to his knowledge and based on the facts. Mr Reddy said that his source for date is “Southern Regional Load Despatch Centre (SRLDC)” and said he will owe full responsibility if anyone proves that his statements or figures are wrong. Revanth Reddy demanded Telangana government to constitute an All-Party Meeting on power crisis immediately.

Don’t be stumped by reading the headline because that’s the natural shock which came to many in Pakistan. However, part of it became true when former PM of India Manmohan Singh was addressed as the President Of The Islamic Republic Of Pakistan. The credit for that goes to a leading Pakistani economic institute. 

Apparently, the Pakistani Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) based in Islamabad is having it annual convocation and as part of that, they planned to invite Mamnoon Hussain to preside the event. But the blunder took place as the official invitation showed the name of Manmohan Singh instead of Mamnoon Hussain. 

Though the blunder was discovered, it was too late because the official invitations have already been sent to all the VIPs leaving the recipients red faced with embarrassment. One can imagine the situation of the PIDE officials now. Anyhow, it became an instant for some groups to have a chuckle.

As Telangana is facing acute power shortage, the suicides of farmers in the state continue to grow and is drawing national attention. While opposition parties in Telangana making huge cry over State government for turning blind eye to the critical issue, ruling TRS indulges in blame game and maintains that opposition is only keen on defaming the first government of the state. 

Till now Telangana CM KCR remained tight lipped on the issue and as media taking up farmers deaths seriously, KCR has finally broken his silence. However he surprised one and all saying that about “1,500 people have died in Andhra” and what’s more shocking is he doesn’t have any appropriate information on farmers suicides but tried blaming media saying media is exaggerating the farmers deaths in region. 

He said number of farmers suicides is not as “high” as “portrayed in the media”. The big ridicule doing rounds in political circles is that whether KCR has more “knowledge” on Andhra than Telangana?

11 people are injured when a car in the convoy of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minsiter Nimmakayala Chinarajappa overturned near Rayappagaripalle, Chapadu, Mydukuru, Kadapa district. The incident happened on Saturday. 

11 people who were in the vehicle were injured and the condition of two people are critical. All the injured were shifted to near by hospital. Doctors are giving good treatment to the injured. Deputy Chief Minsiter Chinarajappa is escaped unhurt from the accident. 

Those who are critical are driver and TDP activist and they were treated at Proddatur Government Hospital.

It is common sight every where in India with cops slapping heavy fines for surveys of two wheelers and four wheelers for breaking traffic rules. Police still be seen fining people for not carrying license, other documents, not wearing helmet, not wearing seat belt etc. 

However today Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari shocked all by driving scooter without wearing helmet. This created controversy with opposition parties blasting him for flouting rules blatantly. 

58 year old MP from Nagpur reached RSS office to meet RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in Mahal area on his white scooter without wearing a helmet. Gadkari refused to comment when scribes questioned on him breaking rules. Congress said this reflects the attitude of party, Minster and government ruling the nation. 

Nagpur traffic police in its website posted , wearing helmet is compulsory and violators will be charged Rs 100 under Section 177 of the M V Act-1988. It is nit clear whether police booked Transport Minister for breaking rules or not.

Youth icon and the scion of Chandrababu Nara Lokesh has lashed out at Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in his long interview with DC. Lokesh talked at length on various issues including Telangana, power crisis, KCR, KTR and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, ally Pawan Kalyan and etc. 

Although he is my dad, I only call him so at our residence. Elsewhere I call him as our Leader. In fact, I take pride in calling him as leader. My GrandFather NT Ramarao and father Chandrababu both have their own strengths and weaknesses. While grandpa was more “Leftist”, dad initially was “Rightist” and then shifted towards “Centre”. I’d love to continue at “Centre”. 

I can’t think myself as future CM of Telangana as there are several veteran leaders in our party in this region. Coming to Andhra Pradesh, our leader Chandrababu will lead for at least another 10 years. I’m more inclined towards party activities and stabilizing party rather than positions, posts.

It’s too sensitive and controversial at the moment. Only time will tell. 

KCR is the one who is spreading hatred. They’ve burnt down our party offices and sending SMSes to burn Opposition parties. No one who has promoted hatred against other region has ever progressed. I was critical about Jagan Mohan Reddy and I will be critical about KCR. Since I’m a voter in Hyderabad, I’ve every right to criticize him. It took life for our leader to build city on global standards, now the development has come to halt.

We are in government. It’s not time for us to focus on politics. Our priority is to give good governance. Pawan and BJP are our good allies. 

KTR and I are good friends. We often meet at social dos.

Both business and politics are my passion. My father is politician and my mother is a businesswoman. I’m more inclined towards politics and safeguarding interests of people. I’m keen to follow my father. 

I’m neither Telanganite nor Andhrite. I’m a pucca Hyderabadi, I grown up in Hyderabad and has vote here.
