Norms flouted for Chiranjeevi?

Share

Megastar Chiranjeevi after becoming Union Minister is trying to be in  news in one way or the other so that he will be remembered by people. Couple of days back he lavished praises on CM Kiran as if he is a top leader from Cong High Command coming here to monitor the performance of CM Kiran. Similarly after SC ST subplan he claimed it was his victory and only on this condition he merged his PRP with Cong after getting promise from Sonia Gandhi.

To claim credit yesterday he addressed press conference in assembly premises when the session was in progress. All the norms were flouted by the ruling party to accommodate its Union Minister to address the scribes. This even after Speaker Nadendla Manohar has recently issued orders that there should be no media conferences when the house was in session. Media and political leaders are now permitted inside the assembly premises only half-an-hour after the session closes.

Because of Chiranjeevi’s ignorance of the procedures and the over-enthusiasm of the assembly staff, a serious situation has arisen which would have resulted in some heads rolling.  Chiru in an attempt to save the jobs of staff, owned responsibility for the faux pause.

CM KKR is ‘Kiri Kiri’ Reddy?

Share
While CM Kiran Kumar Reddy is spending sleepless nights to tackle dissent inside the party and also handle the opposition attack inside and outside assembly, opposition parties are going hammer and tongs on him. TDP president Chandra Babu Naidu who is busy enjoying his state wide padayatra in the runup for assembly elections made fun of CM kiran Kumar Reddy saying he is not Kiran Kumar Reddy but ‘Kiri Kiri’ Reddy.

Launching an allout attack he said one doesn’t know how much he improved in giving good administration to people but he improved a lot in giving retort after retort to opposition’s legitimate questions with out any justification and logic. Chabdra Babu was referring to Minister DL.Ravindra Reddy opposing Cabinet decision of not giving permission to CBI to prosecute former minister Dharmana Prasada Rao, CM Kiran went one step further warning that he can remove or sack the minister differing from the collective decision of the cabinet.

CBN is also referring to Kiran’s comments showing his hair while responding to MLA Peddireddy’s allegations that his brother is acting like extra constitutional authority. One wonder whether CM Kiran takes it as a compliment or attack from CBN.

Prince Rahul’s love for Ja’Gun’

Share
When you go for battle field you should have all ammunition fully loaded. Many war analysts say that those in battle field will make tactical retreat before launching fresh attack. Now it seems Prince Rahula and Sonia Gandhi is coming to the terms of stark reality in Andhra Pradesh. When it chose to insult former CM YSR and throw his son Jagan out of party and send packing in jail, it did not expect him to grow in such powerful manner and such enormous proportions.

When Jagan even from jail started sending shock waves making MIM withdraw support, Cong realized that he is a formidable person and it is better to have an understanding with him. Rahul’s personal emissaries started inquiring about having a pact or trying to bring him back to Cong party and JC.Diwakar Reddy said if cases are waved off and promised CM post he will consider it.

While some say Jagan may come to party once again others rule out such possibility as he has not forgotten the treatment meted out by Sonia and Rahul. Those who know him vouch that he is not of the kind who forgets and forgive all but will exact revenge in a powerful manner.

They say that even at the age of 63 Babu is undertaking yatra and people are of the opinion that he would maintain law and order in the state. CVR Survey predicted TDP -124, YSRCP-79, TRS-42, Cong-34, Majlis-7, BJP-4 etc.

However this is in stark contrast to YSRCP survey which predicted YSRCP-177,TDP-36, COng-36, TRS-34. PCC chief Botsa who got sms of TDP coming to power is analysing the results. Don’t be surprised if another survey predicting Cong returning to power comes.
