War on KCR

Share
People of Andhra Pradesh for long witnessed even top politicians getting scared of taking the name of KCR, leave alone look into his eyes. Such was the fear he cast over entire state that who ever dared to question is branded as anti telangana person. However now everything seems to be changing as many leaders started questioning him and even daring him to contest elections against them.

Many feel this is all KCR’s own undoing by staying calm and then keeping quiet in Delhi for quite some time even not paying his last respect to Prof Jayasankar whom he considered as his guru. This gave a way for opposition political parties and in the midst of all this KCR supporting TJAC Chairman Kodandaram for his insulting comments on Minister Geeta Reddy, turned many against him.

MRCP leader Krishna Madiga chose to take on KCR directly by asking KCR to reveal the business dealing between him and united andhra Champion Lagadapati Rajagopal. He even challenged that he would organise a huge gathering ofone lakh of SC and STs at the same Suryapet where TRS conducted the meet and boasting about the success.

TDP chief Chandra Babu took on KCR stating that had KCR got Ministership he won’t have stood up for telangana people. He even exposed him saying how could KCR promise jobs to lakhs of people when he couldn’t provide none as a Union Labor Minister. TDP leader Nama Nageswarao dared him to contest against him in Khammam.

Even YSRCP did not leave him and asked KCR to reveal the names of those Cong leaders who called him to Del for dialogues. He said KCR called off Sakala Janula Samme and got Polavaram project contracts in return. YSRCP leader Rehman said KCR sold out Telangana at ten Janpath.

Is Padayatra a success with everyone?

Share

It was the late Chief Minister Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy who started the padayatra, at a time when several districts were neglected by the then ruling party TDP till 2004.Chandra Babu Naidu was more interested to bring Hyderabad to international arena by attracting the foreign IT companies. Though the city has developed at a faster pace, the development of several villages were neglected which led to farmers committing suicide and being homeless. Every section of the society found it relevant and flooded Dr. YSR’s padayatra with requests, requisitions, petitions and complaints. Now several leaders are following the same path of Padayatra to victory in the next coming elections in 2014.

Naidu’s yatra is also an attempt to regain the lost glory of party. Naidu would walk 2,340 km covering all the major districts of Andhra Pradesh. The party leaders have kept a constant watch on Mr. Naidu regarding his health. A team of doctors and a personal cook are also traveling with him in his state wide yatra. Naidu will reportedly walk 10 miles every day along with his party workers. This may bring a lot of political mileage in the upcoming elections. The opposition leader of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly is expected to cover over 2,000 kms in 117 days.

Earlier Jagan Mohan Reddy’s Odarpu yatra gained a lot of sympathy among the people. YSR’s daughter Sharmila’s Padayatra is also on the same path and is reaching out to many people. Though both the parties have been criticizing against each other, people are coming in crowds and have been giving warm welcome in the districts hoping their problems will be resolved. This time the Congress Government is keeping an owl eye’s watch on these yatras as this may hamper the party’s chances of winning in the next elections.

Ganga tho Rambabu, again with Pawan kalyan he had come back with a super hit and
is back in the reckoning. Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu has raked in Rs.30.23 crore
net at the worldwide Box Office in the first week. According to sources Puri will begin
to shoot his next movie Iddarammayila tho with Allu Arjun from December. Amala Paul
will star along side Allu Arjun in this romantic comedy film. DeviSri Prasad known for
his hit combination with Arjun will surely make the audience expect a hit from Puri. Few
sources say that Puri will also be one of the probables who will be directing the 150th
movie of Megastar Chiranjeevi.
