YSRC not supporting Telangana and state bifurcation.

Share
The YSR Congress appears to be surreptitiously blocking the state division. The resignations of Srikant Reddy and Srinivasulu, party’s MLAs and close confidents of the party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is indicative of the stand. Party senior leader M V Mysoora Reddy’s statement has sufficiently confirmed the doubts that the YSR Congress was not willing to lose its base in the Seemandhra region by totally supporting the state division. It wants to remain mysterious on its stand about the state division.

When media questioned Mysoora Reddy about the resignation of the two MLAs, he said there was nothing wrong in their taking such a decision. While claiming that he was not aware of the resignations, Mysoora also expressed innocence about the circumstances leading to their resignations. He however said that there was no change in the party’s stand on Telangana. He affirmed that the party was committed to the resolution it passed in the Idupulapaya plenary.

The stand taken by the party itself is ambiguous. It said the party respected the sentiments of the people of Telangana and expect the centre to act.

Mysoora also said that Telangana was an issue in the purview of the centre and it was for the union government to take a decision. When asked about the party’s stand on Telangana, he questioned why they should state their stand before the ruling Congress stated it. When asked about the resignation of the party’s MLAs, Mysoora said they were protesting as citizens. He did not even consider that as violation of discipline. When asked if their resignations did not amount to violation of the party discipline, Mysoora said only talking ill about the party, amounted to violation of the party discipline. He also pointed at the resignation of Congress and TDP leaders and asked the media to go and question them also.

The ambiguous stand of the party is clearly indicative that it wants to give a signal to the Seemandhra leaders and voters that it was not supporting Telangana and state bifurcation.

Hansika on More Mileage than Anushka

Share
When it comes to two heroines besides one hero in one film, we have seen enough of friction moments developing to deter the flow of shooting. But, director Hari has well managed with Anushka and Hansika shooting for the ‘Singham Yamudu 2’ which is faring extra ordinary at Tollywood and Kollywood BO. But, as per the reports from both the industries it is the role of Hansika as Sathya getting more mileage in public than the glamour side of Anushka as Kavya.

To be crisper, hansika has got major screen time in first half of film until Anushka enters late. Then during the pre-climax and entire second half, hansika’s character drives the emotional sequences with a sacrificial ending. So, hansika will haunt the audience more than what Anushka has done because she is more for name and glamour sake while hansika’s character has a purpose when compared script wise.

Puri shocks Tollywood

Share
All these days, the name of Puri Jagan has revolved around big names like Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan and even Jr NTR at some point. But it seems like this ace dashing director got some ‘new heroes’ on board to create magic in the near future.

One can understand the pressure and criticism faced by Puri after making Bunny’s Iddarammayilatho as an average show at Tollywood box office. Final collections of this flick ended approximately at 36 crores share, leaving Mega fans in big disappointment. More than delivering hit flick, it became an issue for Puri Jagan  to prove that he is not running out of ideas. So, Puri did the unthinkable again by roping in Nitin for ‘Heart Attack’. And the latest news is that he will working with Manchu Vishnu after finishing Nitin’s movie. If reports are to be believed, Nandamuri Kalyanram is also going to sign a deal with Puri Jagan for a mass-action flick.

All of a sudden, Brand Puri is giving shocks to Tollywood with new heroes on board and we have to see what output our director gets out from them. But one thing is sure, Puri is the guy who got mass image for heroes like Mahesh, Allu Arjun and Prabhas, so he will also hit the bulls eye while handling  new heroes.

Major Tragedy in Hyderabad as hotel collapses

Share
Twelve people were killed and 17 injured Monday when a hotel known for its Iranian tea and snacks collapsed in Secunderabad, police said. The two-storey building of City Light Hotel on Rashtrapati Road in Secunderabad, the twin city of Hyderabad, collapsed around 6.30 a.m. Monday. Police, fire fighting personnel and rescue workers managed to evacuate 22 people from the rubble and shifted 15 of them to government-run Gandhi Hospital. The condition of some of the injured is stated to be critical. 
Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma said Monday afternoon that one more person is believed to be still trapped under the debris and the efforts are on to rescue him. Many auto-rickshaw drivers and daily wage workers were at the famous joint to have their early morning Iranian tea and snacks when the structure came down.

Teams of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), fire fighting personnel, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Hyderabad Metro Rail helped clear the debris. The rescue teams deployed heavy cranes to clear the rubble. GHMC commissioner Krishna Babu supervised the rescue operation. One of the rescued hotel workers said there were 30 workers in the building at the time of the accident. The dead include four hotel employees and two people hailing from Odisha.

Locals alleged that the negligence by the municipal authorities led to the incident. Krishna Babu, however, said it was not a dilapidated structure and was also not among 57 buildings in Secunderabad which were issued demolition notices. “The buildings looked stable. The construction of a ‘bhatti’ for haleem (beef stew) on top of the building may have weakened the structure but the exact reason will be known only after a probe,” he said. The hotel owner was reportedly building the ‘bhatti’ or kiln for cooking haleem, a popular dish during Muslim holy month of Ramadan, on the top terrace of the hotel. The hotel owner was injured and his condition is stated to be critical while his son died.

Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who visited the site, ordered a probe. He later held a meeting with top officials and directed them to take steps to identify and demolish all dilapidated buildings in the city. The government has announced Rs.1.5 lakh ex-gratia each to the families of those killed. While Rs.50,000 will be paid by the government under ‘Apadhbandu’ scheme, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will provide Rs.1 lakh.

The municipal commissioner said a case would be filed against the hotel owner. Nearly six-decade-old City Light Hotel was a popular landmark in Secunderabad. Located on the busy Rashtrapati Road, it was famous for its Iranian tea, snacks, biryani and other lip-smacking dishes. The crash of the building threw traffic out of gear in the busy commercial area. The police diverted the traffic at several points, leading to long jams.

That started his pain and he started taking pain killers, thinking it will get fine in three to four days because something similar had happened during ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ also.” The pain subsided, but only to return a month later.

“Minor brain surgery to remove blood clot. Should be rock n rolling by evening! U guys have a great day too! Supersonic!!” tweeted Hrithik.
