A case was filed against Congress MP Kavuri Sambasiva Rao, for violating the wild life Act. Forest officials filed the case against the MP in connection with the Komati Lanka Road controversy, at Kolleru. Kavuri tried to lay a road on the bank of Kolleru. Forest and revenue officials obstructed him.

Expressing anger against the authorities, Kavuri said he had not violated any rule. However, authorities say that any construction or even laying gravel on the bank was banned. They refused permission to the MP to lay gravel road on the bund.

Defying the authorities, Kavuri took a crowbar and shovel and tried to lay a road from Aatapaka under Kaikaluru mandal of Krishna district to Komati Lanka on the bund.

Speaking on the occasion, he said he would not tolerate attempts to stop road construction in the wild life forest. On Sunday night an effort was made to lay a road from the Aatapaka bird sanctuary. Kavuri’s argument is that the GO 20 issued in 1999 provided for repairing existing roads in the sanctuary. Stating that the forest officials have been obstructing laying of road for the past eight years, Kavuri questioned how long could people wait for the road. When he tried to lay gravel, forest officials obstructed him. There was a heated argument between him and the forest officials. He talked to the Chief Conservator of Forests and asked him to permit laying of road to mitigate the problems of the people. Though the official also objected, Kavuri went ahead and tried to lay the road.

He said that the MIM will explain to the people the attacks on Muslims and the policies of the State Government. He said that Kiran Kumar Reddy has to remember that his party has lost in 50 Assembly seats and two MP seats in the recent by-elections. He said that the media, which was not bothered about the VHP and BJP activities, was giving bad publicity against MIM Floor leader and Chandrayanagutta MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi.

He has alleged that the Congress Government, which has already burdened the people with the surcharges, was trying to burden further the common people. He has alleged that not only the Government but also the opposition parties were neglecting the public problems. He alleged that the State MPs had behaved in an inefficient manner in regard to KG Basin issue.

Chinni Krishna shows his over ‘Genius’

Share

Chinni krishna is the one who has more extras and exaggerations in his explanations about his stories rather than in stories themselves. He has been blabbering about his recent story Genius a lot even before its release. He once told in Director’s Association Interaction classes, that he may need body guards after the release of Genius movie.
 
Such a sensational film it is going to be he added. But the release of the film clarified all speculations that it’s all gibberish and nonsense as the movie turned a big dud. Now he is saying that direction is his destination. He might have dreamed that he will really need body guards to save him from producer, who lost 12 crores on the story like Genius that this writer provided.

 Satya was the movie that gave a break to J.D in both Tollywood and Bollywood. It seems like the same is going to happen in Sharwanand’s career.
