Azad warned Chiru for spending public…

Share

 Reports are doing the rounds that union minister and AICC general secretary in-charge of AP affairs, Ghulam Nabi Azad had warned union minister Chiranjeevi who has been making foreign trips with family members, reportedly spending public money rather very lavishly.
There has been discussion about the way Chiru has been spending public money. There was already a petition that he gave too much money to a star hotel for hosting world tourism conference. When he went to Cannes in his official capacity with his wife, son Ram Charan and daughter-in-law Upasana and there from to the TANA conference in USA, there was discussion on whether he took his family members with government money or his personal.

However, he earned a bad name as he has taken his family members for his foreign trips. Chiranjeevi’s close associate and endowments minister C Ramachandraiah has been frequently stating that he was made of Chief Minister material. This has been causing quite an embarrassment to the Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy. He too complained to the High Command about the over enthusiasm of Ramachandraiah.

It is in this context that Azad reportedly warned Chiranjeevi to be careful about what he talks and how he handles the Tourism ministry.

He said this itself showed that Sharmila was not a Christian.

He said Sharmila and her family members were adopting all religions to protect their family properties and hoodwink the people. He said the family which claims to be Christians was occupying Christian properties. Stating that river Godavari was desecrated by the touch of Sharmila, Mathiah asked the Hindu brethren to cleanse the river and the place where she performed pujas.

He expressed double thanks to the Chief Minister for this. He said the former minister had damaged the party’s prospects in Kadapa district. He has alleged that DL had worked against the party’s candidates in the by-elections and cooperative elections and got them defeated. Referring to the charge of DL that the government schemes were not being properly implemented, the MLC said this was not true.

Government whip Gandra Venkata Ramana Reddy also lashed out at DL. He said his charge that the government schemes were not properly being implemented had annoyed party workers.

Talking to the media, he said it was improper to publicly criticize the government, instead of making suggestions if there were any drawbacks. He has expressed the view that the Chief Minister might have dismissed the defiant minister at the behest of the Congress High Command.

He has suggested that it would be good if senior ministers worked for strengthening the party.

Puri cuts his sentiment from Iddarammayilatho

Share
 
The dismal and disappointing talk of Iddarammayilatho forced Puri Jagannadh to cut down his sentiment. From the movie Badri to Devudu Chesina Manushulu, Puri has a special role for Ali in every movie of his. In the films Idiot, Amma Nanna o Tamil Ammayi, Desamuduru, Chirutha Ali’s comedy clicked and helped the movie. He continued this trend even with the movie Iddarammayilatho and created a separate track for Ali which did not have any connection with the movie. He shot some scenes between Ali and Brahmanandam on Blue Mat and projected as if they were made in Spain.

But all the scenes were very distasteful and this is the first time Puri movie had such a worst comedy. There was lot of criticism and after taking lot of flak from people, the scenes between Ali and Brahmanandam got chopped off as a result.
