Can KCR deilver KO punch?

Share
TRS chief KCR contested many bouts on telananga battle ring now it has to be seen whether he can deliver knockout punch to his main opponent and new enemy Cong led UPA govt which insulted him couple of months back. KCR till recently never uttered a single word though Cong did not make its stand clear on Telangana though he went hammer and tongs on other opposition parties in state which have minimal or no role to influence the decision of the Govt.

Now with the elections fast approaching and telangana MPs fighting for their survival, they are in no mood to listen to even to their high command and Sonia whom they used to be scared some time back. They decided to stay away from MPs meet and gave ultimatum to act before Dec 9th or face the consequences. This is blessing in disguise for KCR and TRS which is reeling under pressure of not doing enough for telangana cause.

KCR deftly moved into act and started speaking to T MPs and now it has to be seen whether he can deliver Knock Out punch by breaking away some of the Mps and creating tension in Cong folds.

Tarakratna feasting on black money

Share
Tarakratna is the only hero from the Nandamuri clan who did not score a single hit though he created a sensation of sorts signing seven films even before the release of his debut film ‘Okato Number Kurradu’. Though the film did not do well and all his seven films did not even take off, it did not deter him from starring in films.

Many wondered how come film makers are casting him even without a single hit for more than seven years. Still he is on a signing spree and at present he has more than seven films and some of them include Chudalani Cheppalani, Eduruleni Alexander, Vijetha, Nenu Chala Worst, Bhakta Siriyala, Mike Testing 143 and others.

However when his Nandeeswarudu producer Kota Gangadhar Reddy was arrested by CBI over his alleged role in All India Medical Entrance scam, many got answers for their questions. It has to be seen how far the rumors like Tarak’s films are funded by balckmoney or scam money is true.

Hereditary war on silver screen

Share
In the early days film industry used to enjoy the family atmosphere with no show of ego or power from top stars. However with the passage of time all those values are thrown to dustbin with many only interested in moneymaking. During olden days even during any dispute, people used to solve the issue amicably in a cool atmosphere in closed doors. They used to encourage fresh talent keeping in view that flow of talent is good for the industry in the longrun. Even when a new comer used to come up there never used to be any show of jealousy.

However all that changed once the entry of 3G heroes. In their quest to scale success heights in short span of time they used to highlight their dads and grand fathers achievements thus starting star wars on silver screen which even spread to fans of different heroes. Now the family feud turned to fan feud in full scale. Fans in their frenzy tear their shirts and get engaged in scuffles during the releases and spend time in jail later. Heroes are not bothered to rectify the situation lessening the tension.
 

Many wonder why these hereditary street fights on silver screen. Movie lovers know the talent of the legends and their descendants. So it is better they prove their talent in their performance.

War for supremacy over Old City

Share
Now that MIM headed by Owaisi withdrawing support for the government and going on all out war against the Cong party, stating that it would go on state wide tour and agitation against the misrule of Cong, its rivals are planning to counter it by regaining supremacy in old city.

Owaisi adopted an aggressive attitude in the assembly and sought to link Babri Masjid to Bhagyalakshmi temple. He sought to add fuel and fire temples by stating that muslims will not sleep till Babri Masjid is rebuilt and Bhagyalakshmi temple erased from the premises of Charminar.

None of the leaders in other parties sought to speak agaisnt MIM for the fear of losing muslim support except for BJP. In the mean time Majlis Bachao Tehrik (MBT) demanded CBi enquiry on MIM head and MLA Owaisi on his assets. He also questioned whether the Deccan Medical College run by MIM has the requisite Govt approval. He asked Govt to conduct inquiry immediately on the both issues.

MBT leaders questioned how come sons of Late Salauddin Owaisi who used to own just a two wheeler  became owners of Benz cars. They said Bhagyalakshmi temple existed since Nizam rule and no one disputed. Now people should understand why MIM raked up the temple issue. He lamented that police instead of arresting those who pelted stones form Mecca Masjid were after innocents.

TDP leakage strategy boomeranging

Share
TDP is the party which pioneered the usage of leakages to its advantage. Leakages played important role in Chandra Babu becoming CM and then his continuance as CM for 9 years with out any opposition. During that time whenever he has to take any major decision on cabinet reshuffle, sacking of ministers or transferring officials or crushing opposition, Chandra Babu used leakages as his main weapon. This helped him in overpowering even NTR and then taking over the party in his hands. Now the same leakages are worrying the party giving sleepless nights.

Now the party is faced with the leakages of some senior leaders contesting next elections from constituencies. Some leaders allege leakage politics and media behind defaming of the party. Even none other than Balakrishna who is keen on contesting for assembly faced the leakage problem. Suddenly from nowhere news appeared that he was interested in MP seat and will be contesting either from Vijayawada or Hindupur. However Balakrishna who turned furious issued clarification stating that he will not leave the state and will be contesting assembly elections from Gudivada.

Balakrishna exercised restraint thinking that if he goes in public about his constituency it will bring bad name to the party he just stated that he will contest from the district.

Puppet PM’s helplessness on ‘T’

Share
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for long has been regarded as puppet in the hands of Cong President Sonia Gandhi. On any subject he never used to open his mouth without getting prior approval from party president and UPA chairperson. So when it came to light that PM expressed his helplessness on telangana issue when MPs from the region met him and asked for announcement of T state by asking him to speak on the matter with Madame Sonia it came as nothing new.

Infact if any of the Cong representatives are shocked then they may be new to this phenomenon but experienced persons will only be surprised if PM arrives at any decision. The incident happened when Se leader and RS member V.Hanumath Rao met Manmohan SIngh and asked him for how long telangana issue will be dragged. He requested by announcing telangana atleast the party could be saved in one region.

PM without answering the question directly adviced him to speak on the subject with President Sonia Gandhi.When VH tried to speak about importance of telangana, he asked him to do the same to Sonia or state incharge Azad. When VH said he informed to all important people, PM once again insisted on the importance to speak to Sonia.
