Addressing meetings during her pada yatra in the district on Tuesday, she has counseled people to wait till Jagan came out the jail. She has lashed out at the Kiran Kumar Reddy government as well as the opposition TDP’s attitude. She has also not left the TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao either.

Sharmila has participated in a Rachabanda programme at Penjarla. Several farmers and women told her about their woes. She told them that Jagan would bring back the golden days of the YSR rule and asked them to patiently await his release. She said once he came out, all their problems would be resolved.

They alleged in their complaint that the Chief Minister got them arrested illegally during the Millennium March held in Hyderabad. They asked the Speaker to register Contempt of the House case against the Chief Minister.

Nagarkurnool MP Manda Jagannatham, Peddapally MP Vivek, Karimnagar MP Ponnam Prabhakar, Warangal MP S Rajaiah and Nizamabad MP Madhu Yashki Goud lodged this complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker.

Speaking to the media later, Vanita said that all the welfare schemes introduced by the late Chief Minister Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy have been diluted by the Kiran Kumar Reddy government. She said only Jagan was capable of implementing YSR’s schemes effectively.

It may be recalled that the TDP has suspended Vanita on October 31.

The women’s doubles player also questioned Gopichand Academy for collecting huge money from the budding players despite the fact that it came up on a government land and is funded by the Sports Authority of India (SAI)

She told reporters here that the academy was running fully on commercial lines though it was the government which allotted land for it and was also giving the funds.

The 28-year-old alleged that only those who get coaching at the academy were being selected for the tournaments. “I know a player who was among the top five but was not sent to nationals because he is from LB Stadium,” said

Jwala supported Prajakta Sawant, who dragged Gopichand to court, alleging that Gopichand was “mentally harassing” her by not allowing her to participate in the All India National Coaching Camp in Hyderabad. The Mumbai shuttler alleged that Gopichand was out to ruin her career by promoting only those players who train at his academy.

Though a relative of Gopichand, Jwala never had good terms with him. She trains at LB Stadium here under former national chief coach Syed Mohammed Arif.

“Arif sir also had an opportunity to start an academy but he was never interested in turning badminton into commercial activity.”

The high court has on Tuesday stayed the orders of the Enforcement Directorate attaching the properties.

It may be recalled that the ED has issued orders attaching properties worth Rs. 822 cr. in connection with the Satyam Computers scam. Ramalinga Raju has challenged this decision in the high court.

It may be recalled that Jagan has filed both the petitions contending that he has the statutory right of getting bail as CBI, the investigating agency failed to file the charge-sheet within the stipulated time frame of 90 days.

Speaking to the media at CLP office here on Monday, Daggubati cautioned not to make worthless criticism against Purandeshwari. He questioned as to what Chandrababu, who used to say that he had great influence in New Delhi, did during his nine-year rule. He said that Chandrababu never taken care of installation of NTR statue in the Parliament.

He said that Chandrababu was also making an issue alleging that the Centre was not awarding the ‘Bharat Rathna’ to NTR. He also questioned Chandrababu as to why he failed to name after NTR the Airport during his rule. “It is ridiculous on the part of Chandrababu to ask the Congress Government now about it”, he alleged. He said that the Chandrababu Government entered into an agreement with the GMR Group to construct the Airport but Chandrababu had not proposed with the GMR to name after NTR to the Airport. He alleged that Chandrababu is misguiding the people criticizing Purandeshwari.

Addressing the Samaikyandhra Samara Bheri in the SV University here on Monday, he said if backwardness was to be the basis for division, there would be need for innumerable divisions. He has alleged that students and people were being unnecessarily provoked for political gain of leaders. He said if separate state was created, they would extort money from the rich. He said it was the plan of some leaders to collect crores of rupees from the rich and fill their pockets if ‘T’ state was created. He has lamented that some people were entering politics only to earn money. He has pointed out that the Sri Krishna committee has stated that there were backward regions in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions also.

The senior MP has stated that regional parties were sprouting up because of economic imbalances and these parties were inciting the people in the name of economic and social inequalities. He said if these imbalances were removed, there would be no need to divide the nation or the state.

According to the court, it is “ethically” wrong for Gopichand to run a training academy. This was in response to a petition filed by Mumbai shuttler Prajakta Sawant in November alleging mental harassment after not being allowed to participate in the national camp.

“Ethically, the coach who also heads the selection panel should not run a private academy. He may be a good coach. We are not saying otherwise. But in the interest of justice and fairness, a national coach, also part of the selection panel, should not run a private camp,” Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice A.V. Mohta said.
