Naidu’s over-action on Kolleru resolution!

December 23, 2014

Leader of Opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Tuesday ridiculed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for giving a “build-up” on Kolleru lake contour issue in the Assembly.

During a debate on reduction of Kolleru Contours to three from five on the last day of the Assembly session here, Jagan alleged that Chandrababu Naidu had pressed his “henchmen” to impress the House with “cock and bull” stories on the issue.

“Why didn’t Naidu take up the issue during his nine-year rule?” he asked. Jagan recalled that the Centre had already accepted a similar move of unanimous resolution made by then chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy in 2008.

“There is nothing new in what the Chief Minister Naidu has moved now,” he said, adding that he would extend support to the proposal meant for welfare of West Godavari people.

NTR’s Conditions on Films!

Line Cleared for Nandamuri Hero!

December 23, 2014

The good fortune of Kalyan Ram has just begun! Although this statement looks a bit odd considering the recent tragedy in the high-profile family, the positive developments on the film front makes us say so!!

In fact, Kalyan Ram was a bit skeptical about releasing ‘Pataas’ for Pongal 2015 as two biggies ‘I’ (January 9th) and ‘Gopala Gopala’ (January 14th) are in the race and getting sandwiched willn’t help him any way.

As a blessing in disguise, ‘I’ release got postponed to January 14th. This development paves way for the release of ‘Pataas’ on January 9th and eventually uses the 5-day festival advantage before the biggies arrive.

Dil Raju acquiring the theatrical rights of the movie will come in handy too. If everything falls in place, ‘Pataas’ audio launch will be on January 1st and it might also be the first Sankranthi release of 2015. Wish good luck to Kalyan Ram!
