No Future in YSRCP – Kandula Brothers
Senior Political leaders are leaving the YSRCP one after another after the General elections. Starting from Daadi Veerabhadra Rao, Konathala Rama Krishna to Jupudi Prabhakar Rao were left the party and lashed out Jagan’s attitude. Now Kandula Brothers also joined in above bandwagon. Kandula Rajmohan Reddy and Sivananda Reddy have decided to leave YSRCP.
Kandula brothers have worked in TDP for many years and against to the late YSR in the district. They talked with CBN for Kadapa MP but TDP President didn’t have any assurance to them. Kandula brothers remain with YSRCP but didn’t participate in party activities and didn’t move closely with YS Jagan.
Kandula brothers start maintaining the relations with BJP leaders in Delhi to join. They announced that they will join in BJP. They said that we have no differences with YSRCP leaders for their leaving but opined that continuing in YSRCP has meaningless for political growth.
YSRCP has no future in the state. There is no clarity that where Kandula brothers join BJP either in Vijayawada or in Kadapa. So far, only leaders are leaving YSRCP fears that MLAs and MPs will follow once Amit Shah entered in AP.
Don’t blame Seemandhras, improve your efficiency
A bizarre regional clash has reportedly surfaced in the commercial taxes department of the Telangana state. Sources say that the department’s performance in terms of the meeting revenue targets has made Telangana officials to blame their colleagues with Seemandhra roots, who are a majority in the department, and have reportedly leveled serious charges of abetting tax evasion.
Although the target is Rs 28,000 crore, the department has only earned just over Rs 14,000 by the end of the month November and now officials are facing a herculean task of collecting another 14,000 crore in rest four months before March 31, 2015.
Meanwhile, the concerned minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav said that government was waiting for the Kamalanathan report for the distribution of employees between the two states and till there is clarity on staff division, it is not easy to address the issue.
He also added that regional arguments are meaningless and asked the officials not to involve in such kind of unpleasant issues and instead they must improve their efficiency to deliver better performance!
Anchor Syamala Turns Second Heroine!!
Decent show of Loukyam and Oka Laila Kosam in 2014 has brought another actress into spot light. She is none other than anchor Syamala who is dabbling with hosting of shows on small screen before that. Now that those two films did magic for her, this married beauty’s charms are omnipresent everywhere.
At most of the recent audio launches, it is anchor Syamala who is taking centre stage. Of late, she is turning second heroine at these mega events, as the prime host of these events is someone else. Top anchor Suma has hosted the audio release of ‘I’, while Syamala co-hosted the event along with her.
Similarly, she has repeated this second heroine act for Pataas audio launch too as another sensational anchor Jhansi lead the event. Probably Syamala is looking forward for her day to become main heroine. Let us see.

Big business houses – Birlas, Rahejas, Walmarts and Adanis, who had their hey days during Y S Rajasekhar Reddy regime and made big monies, are now back in Andhra Pradesh to appease present Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. On Friday, these big business houses lined up before Naidu with a promise to make big investments in retail sector.

Naidu had a meeting with representatives of Shoppers’ Stop, Walmart India, Lifestyle International, Future Retail, Trent, Reliance Retail, K. Raheja Group, Aditya Birla and Retailers Association of India and discussed opportunities to modernize retail business in the State.
The Chief Minister asked them to come up with a plan of action in setting up Retail Zones in the new State. Naidu also agreed for 365-day working for outlets where retailers have to abide by Labour laws and create a shift system for employees.
Failing to join TRS, Cong MLA attacks KCR
Congress MLA from Pargi in Ranga Reddy district T Rammohan Reddy, who made a vain attempt to join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, attacked Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for ignoring the Opposition party MLAs. Rammohan Reddy, who owns a chain of educational institutions in Ranga Reddy district, earlier made a desperate attempt to join the TRS but was denied entry, thanks to intense opposition from his bitter rivals Kamatham Ram Reddy and also Koppula Harishwar Reddy, both strong TRS leaders from Parigi.
After failing in his attempts, Rammohan Reddy started attacking KCR. He alleged that the KCR government was biased and discriminating against non-TRS MLAs in the allocation of funds for developmental activities in the State.
The Pargi MLA on Friday pointed out that GO No. No. 36 issued by department of Panchayat Raj, revealed that his constituency was allocated meager Rs five crore for laying of roads, while other constituencies represented by the ruling party MLAs were given from Rs 20 crores to over Rs 50 crores. He advised the Chief Minister to shun step-motherly treatment towards the constituencies represented by non-TRS parties and allocate funds equally to all in order to achieve the goal of Bangaru Telangana.
CM Downloaded And Watched ‘PK’ Illegally
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav seems to have watched the piracy version of Aamir Khan’s latest movie PK which is running successfully in theatres. Akhilesh tweeted that he had watched PK long back but couldn’t watched it due to lack of time. He, however, stated that he watched the movie on Tuesday night taking time from busy schedule.
He praised the film and exempted it from tax. Speaking at a press conference, Akhilesh said on Wednesday, “People had been telling me for many days to watch PK. I downloaded it a few days ago, but only found the time to watch it last night. I liked it immediately and decided to make it tax-free so that more people can watch it.” This naturally created furore in online. Many tweeple have lashed out at Akhilesh for “downloading” the movie and watching “piracy” copy.
One tweeted, “Akhilesh Yadav spprts piracy by wtchng PK after downloading it. It’s a federal crime 2 download a film.I&B ministry shd take actn.#PKdebate.” In order to rescue Akhilesh, UPCMO took to twitter to clarify, “#UPCM #Akhileshyadav has licensed @UFOMoviez digifacility to download & watch movies. Controversy around pirated download is unwarranted.”
However, it is not yet clear if a film still running in theatres could be downloaded even commercially. Giving a fitting counter to UPCMO, anti-SP protagonists questioned on twitter, “You’re sticking up for UPCMO, so comeup with scan of licence.” Another wrote, “But an RTI will prove whether UPCMO has a UFO licence or not;)”
Samantha Lost Eighty Lakhs In Goa!
Samantha who was named heroine of the year in Tollywood for three straight years couldn’t make an impact in 2014. She lost her ‘Golden Girl’ tag with a series of flops. Samantha is not the most sought after heroines in Telugu Cinema now. Apart from Manam, none of her films that were released last year clicked at the box office.
Samantha is hoping for a better 2015 and promising her fans that she would do her best to make them rejoice in New Year. Meanwhile Samantha is back after a short trip to Goa with friends. She was supposed to do a dance show in one of the star hotels in Goa on the eve of New Year.
Samantha made a deal for eighty lakh rupees to do this show. She made plans for the same, but decided to cancel the deal as she feared that doing this show may earn her bad name and affect her image.
Although Samantha called off the deal before a week, she didn’t cancel the Goa trip and landed there with bunch of her close buddies. She spent quality time and had a ball in Goa. She also posted few pictures of her Goa trip on Twitter. Sam surely didn’t have any regrets of losing big bucks for the sake of preserving her image.

Temper Audio Launch Tribute To Legendary NTR
According to unit sources, the audio launch of Jr NTR-starrer Temper would be held on Sunday, January 18. The date marks the death anniversary of legendary NTR. In order to pay tributes to doyen NT Rama Rao, the makers are planning to unveil the music on that day. Jr NTR is keen on releasing audio remembering his late grand father.
Although earlier reports stated that the audio launch would be held either in Nimmakur of Krishna district or in Guntur, latest buzz is that the music would be unveiled in Hyderabad only for the convenience of film’s unit.
Since producer Bandla Ganesh had difficult time last time when a fan of NTR died during Baadshah audio launch, he is making arrangements to avoid any unwarranted things. This is also one of the reasons behind changing the venue to Hyderabad. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Temper has Kajal Aggarwal in female lead. NTR will be seen as an encounter specialist in the film.
