TRS Leaders Go Overboard To Pamper Future CM!

Share

It is an open secret that TRS working president and IT minister KTR is a de facto CM of Telangana and it is only a matter of time he takes over the mantle from his father KCR.

But, the TRS leaders and cadre have already decided that KTR is the future chief minister and therefore, they are going all out to get into his good books.

It was evident from the way the party leaders went overboard to pamper the TRS working president on the latter’s birthday all over the state on Friday.

Starting from extending him personal greetings to wishing him through tweets, they did everything to attract his attention.

Though KCR’s birthday in April was completely a low-key affair due to lockdown, KTR’s birthday was like a festival across the state notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by the authorities on account of Covid-19 pandemic.

Banners, posters, hoardings and buntings were erected all over Hyderabad and huge traffic restrictions were imposed to enable the party workers go to his camp office at Pragathi Bhavan.

Blood donation camps, and personal deeds through gift a smile initiative by supporters and fans were held at different places on occasion of KTR’s birthday celebrations.

The TRS Vidyarthi union held a mega blood donation camp in which Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, government whip Balka Suman and Public Undertakings Committee Chairman Jeevan Reddy participated,

On the occasion of the birthday of the IT Minister the Telangana Information Technology Association (TITA) in collaboration with the State cultural department launched “T-Culture” app.

Minister for Women and Child Welfare Satyavathi Rathod has directed the concerned officials on Friday to serve sumptuous special food for the children at the State run Sishu Vihars and Juvenile Homes on Friday on the occasion of the birthday of KTR.

Well it’s a known fact that actor Sonu Sood had been relentlessly coming forward as a saviour to stranded people who are struck in every nook and cranny. Now he became a real hero to Telugu students stranded in Kyrgyzstan due to the lockdown. Telugu students trapped in Kyrgyzstan reached Visakhapatnam yesterday. A repatriation flight has been arranged by the actor from Bishkek to Vishakhpatnam. Many Of them thanked Sonu Sood whole heartedly on their safe return.

After observing Sonu Sood’s dedicated philanthropic activities towards stranded people in states and other countries, a twitter user who is stuck in Russia beseeched him to help him fly off to India.

The user said that they were about 170+ students who had been struggling to fly back to Chennai. Today morning the huge hearted actor replied to him promptly that he is working on it. The twitter read:

“Working on it dear. Just pray that I can get you back home. I will”, and he put up a peace emoji.

To which many users appreciated him and saluted him for his invaluable charity services and noble like character. Well perhaps the next target for him would be to help the students in Moscow!. Let’s wait and see.

Ganta silent over follower’s death, Raju flays cops

Share

The sudden demise Nalanda Kishore, a TDP sympathiser in Visakhapatnam and a close follower of former minister and TDP MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao, on Saturday allegedly due to Covid-19, kicked up a political row.

Kishore was arrested last month by the Crime Investigation Department sleuths for alleged derogatory posting in the social media against YSR Congress party general secretary V Vijay Sai Reddy and tourism minister Avanti Srinivas.

He was later taken to Kurnool from Visakhapatnam by road where he was interrogated and later sent to judicial remand. However, he was released on bail later.

On the day of his arrest, Ganta issued a protest statement alleging that the police were harassing his follower for simply forwarding the posting which had already been in circulation.

Ganta then alleged that the police had not even bothered about Kishore’s ill-health.

But now, he has remained silent strangely over the death of Nalanda Kishore. Apparently, he thought any statement against the YSRC government at this stage might hamper the prospects of his entry into the party.

TDP president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed condolences over the death of Nalanda Kishore.

He said the government should be held responsible for the death of Kishore, who was allegedly subject to mental torture by the police and the government.

However, rebel YSR Congress MP from Narasapuram parliamentary constituency in West Godavari district Kanumuru Raghurama Krishnam Raju alleged that Nalanda Kishore had died of Coronavirus disease only due to alleged negligence of the police.

“I was deeply moved by the death of TDP sympathiser Nalanda Kishore. Though his health was not well, the CID police forcibly took him to Kurnool which had been reeling under severe Covid-19 pandemic with highest number of cases,” Raju said.

The MP described Kishore’s death as a police murder.

“Though the post forwarded by him in the social media had not mentioned any name, the police arrested him and harassed him,” he alleged.

Adding, “I am following all #COVID19 guidelines and have quarantined myself as per the advice of the doctors… I will be participating in the daily #COVID19 review meeting via video conferencing.”

Bandla Likes RGV’s Tweet, Pawan Fans Fury

Share

The feud between Ram Gopal Varma and Pawan Kalyan fans is turning more ugly with each passing day. As RGV’s film on Pawan Kalyan – Power Star – is all set for release today, Pawan fans had attacked Varma’s office in Jubilee Hills and the war of words between Varma gang and Pawan’s fans continues to be a hot topic.

Amidst this, producer Bandla Ganesh who claimed to be a die-hard fan of Pawan had retweeted RGV’s tweet on Power Star film. This has added to the fresh controversy as Pawan fans are fuming over Bandla’s act.

Bandla Ganesh has been expressing his angst on Pawan in one way or the other. Bandla in an interview felt bad that his ‘Devudu’ Pawan hadn’t called him and enquired about his health when the former was tested Covid-19 positive. Bandla said he had got a call from Chiranjeevi, but he hadn’t got any courtesy call from Pawan with whom he produced films like Teen Maar and Gabbar Singh.

Bandla is apparently upset that Pawan, who returned to films, is doing films with other producers but not with him. As Bandla isn’t happy with Pawan, his retweeting of RGV’s tweet on Power Star irked Pawan’s fans so badly.

Though Bandla claimed that it was an act of mistake and only he knows what he is, he said he is very sorry for his mistake. However, Pawan fans are in no mood to accept Bandla’s sorry and not believing that he had done it by mistake. RGV had earlier released the trailer of Power Star that also featured Bandla Ganesh character and probably that seemed to have made Bandla Retweet Ramu’s tweet.

Mr.KTR Birthday celebrations are done but no ambulances for poor

Share

Politics cannot be stooped much lower than this. In this critical COVID pandemic, do the people have to wait for a leader’s birthday to get proper emergency services. Is Ambulance a necessity or a gift for the poor people from the leaders? From who’s pocket are they funding for those ambulances? These are a few of the many statements that are uttered by the Telangana people as well as some senior leaders on the eve of KTR’s birthday.

Right from the beginning of the TRS rule in Telangana, there have been strong allegations of the monarchial or hierarchal rule which the Telangana government sidetracked several times by diverting people into other issues. But, now, the Telangana governed waited for KTR’s birthday to announce that they are going to arrange few ambulances for the state people in this COVID period. Even after many hours of the announcement, there has been no significant development in the arrangement of ambulances.

KTR said that he is personally arranging 6 ambulances and then, Health Minister Etela Rajender said that taking inspiration from KCR, on his birthday, he will arrange 5 ambulances in his own Karimnagar District. On this occasion, KTR requested all the people’s representatives to do the same. Yet, no ambulance has been arranged in any of the announced areas. So, it may be a gift or an exclusive service for Telangana people.

The point is, why KCR or Eetela need to wait for KTR’s birthday to provide emergency services for the people who have been suffering for months without their presence? If there is a need for an additional 5-10 ambulances (which is obviously there) in each district, why the TRS government hasn’t started to arrange those services to the people yet. Do they need another leader’s birthday to provide those vehicles or the demolition of the secretariat is the most important thing to spend funds on rather than saving the lives of people? These are the questions that arose from a Telanganaite out of confusion.

Positive patients goes missing and AP govt doesn’t take responsibility

Share

It has been revealed in Hyderabad and now in Tirupati. It has become common all over Andhra Pradesh these days. The COVID suspects giving false information and details about themselves when they came for COVID confirmatory tests or when they were taken forcibly for testing. The officials of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh were left in quandary with as many as 232 patients went missing after they tested positive for Covid-19.

Many of these 232 provided invalid contact number and the others have provided the wrong address. According to the official sources, at least 20 such cases are being evolved in every district which is nothing but an alarming factor that the government should look into.

These people who are afraid of Isolation or quarantine are happening to be the super spreaders in our society. These people are being exposed after they were found positive for Covid-19 and when they were tried to contact and bring them to isolation by the officials, they are not getting any response as they are either switched off or provided wrong numbers.

This is the case in many districts and fortunately, the numbers in Tirupati are being revealed while it is the other way around in the rest of the state. In most cases, while giving a sample for a swab test, most of the people are being identified falsely even provision of Aadhar Card has been mandatory for this process.

So, it is the responsibility of the government to find the missing persons thereby protecting the healthy people who are at risk as well as to make sure that the suspected persons shall provide genuine details.

Anurag Kashyap: Sushant Singh Rajput rejected me twice

Share

Post the sudden demise of Bollywood superstar Sushant Singh Rajput, nepotism has become the most talked-about topic in Indian film industry. Many netizens are siding with Sushant, saying noted producers like Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt, and Aditya Chopra sidelined Sushant for personal reasons and he eventually committed suicide.

While speaking about Sushant’s untimely death, acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap made a intriguing revelation.

“Many years back, I approached Sushant and asked him to do a film under my direction. He rejected my proposal as he got an offer from Yash Raj films. Again in 2016, I made a movie offer to him and he agreed to star in it. However, he changed his mind after the blockbuster success of MS Dhoni: The untold story. He never called me again,” Anurag Kashyap said.

In other news, Sushant Singh Rajput’s last film ‘Dil Bechara’ is releasing on Hotstar at 7:30 PM today. The film is carrying a positive buzz and going by the craze it is enjoying on social media, it might well be the most streamed Indian film on OTT platforms after its release.

Pawan Kalyan Not Realising His Bad PR Moves!

Share

All said and done, a happening TV channel and newspaper’s support is quintessential for tuning the hearts and minds of audiences in favour of a politician or political party these days. Without understanding this or maybe ignoring this, Janasena President Pawan Kalyan felt that Twitter and YouTube will do the needful for him. But it looks he hasn’t learnt his lesson even after the general election debacle where tweets and likes didn’t turn into votes.

Other day Pawan has come up with an interview, which has him answering certain political questions and general things too, and published right away on his Janasena YouTube channel. Rather that, if Pawan has given interviews to some of the leading news channels, definitely it would have worked big time for him. One may ask, which happening channel is ready to take his interview? But there are a few that are ready to take.

Or otherwise, Pawan should have invited all the leading YouTube channels that cater to Telugu people and should have given group interviews such that he would have got millionsof viewership cumulatively. These political interviews are not like cinema teasers and trailers that everyone will watch. So an interview video released on single youtube channel will not create impact.

If we look at Pawan’s political moves ever since the inception of Janasena, a lot of times he was affected by bad PR activities. Looks like he is not taking stock of it and yet to come out of such mediocre planning.

RGV Scared Of Pawan Fans?

Share

Sitting in TV channel debates, often some celebrities throw open challenges to others. They will challenge others to beat them or try to thrash them at a particular centre or will ask the anti-fans to try to make certain types of comments on them. But such cinematic tongue slips should be kept in control now.

Other day we know that a group of Osmania University JAC folks who happen to be fans of Pawan Kalyan went to Ram Gopal Varma’s office to question the director about his ethics in making a film like Powerstar. While Varma complained that they attacked him, the students stated that Varma has invited him.

Yeah, actually Varma challenged in TV9 interview that if anyone could hurt him for making this film it is not a tough thing to find his office address. “I don’t care for warnings on phones and social media pages. If anyone has guts, search google for my office address and come in person” he said, challenging everyone who disliked the thought of Powerstar film. Taking his words seriously, some fans have come, but then Varma might have got scared big time with the turnout that he called up police immediately.

So tomorrow if anyone wants to throw similar challenges on social media or during TV debates, just imagine what would happen if the police don’t turn up on time.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak sues YouTube over bitcoin scams using his image

Share

SAN RAMON, California: Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is launching a legal attack against Google’s YouTube video site for allowing con artists to use him as a pawn in a Bitcoin scam believed to have heisted millions of dollars from people around the world.

The personal computer pioneer vented his frustration and anger in a video conference held Thursday to explain why he decided to sue one of the world’s biggest internet companies in a California state court earlier this week. The suit also represents 17 alleged victims of the bitcoin scam, including 10 people who live outside the U.S.

The 47-page complaint revolves around a ruse that has used images of Wozniak and high-tech celebrities such as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to trick people out of the digital currency Bitcoin. Videos spread on YouTube as part of the scheme entice viewers to send their bitcoins to an anonymous digital address, promising to return double that amount. The return payment never arrives.

It’s similar to a scam that surfaced on Twitter last week when hackers hijacked the accounts of more than 100 prominent people, including Gates, Musk, former President Barack Obama and Joe Biden, this year’s Democratic Party nominee for president. Twitter was able to regain control of the hacked accounts and purge the scam from its messaging service within a few hours.

Wozniak, though, said he has been trying to get Google and YouTube to prevent videos peddling the scam with his name and picture in it since May 10. But the site can’t seem to stop the blatant ruse from repeatedly reappearing on the site after a bogus clip is removed, he said.

“It’s like Whack-A-Mole,” Wozniak said. “You can never reach a human who would easily understand the situation and get it rectified by some method. Anybody would look at that and say it’s a crime. We never got to a human. Maybe I could pull some strings, but I don’t believe in pulling strings.”

Both Wozniak and one of his lawyers, Joseph Cotchett, urged U.S. lawmakers to confront Google CEO Sundar Pichai about why YouTube hasn’t done more to stop fraudulent activity on his site when he testifies before Congress in a hearing scheduled for Monday, July 27.

YouTube said it removed 2.2 million videos and terminated 1.7 million accounts during the first three months of this year for violating its policies against deceptive practices. But it had no comment about Wozniak’s specific charges.

“We take abuse of our platform seriously, and take action quickly when we detect violations of our policies,” YouTube said in a Thursday statement.

A former Yahoo executive who now runs a digital currency company, Brad Garlinghouse, filed a federal lawsuit against YouTube and Google in April alleging much the same misconduct that Wozniak cited in his complaint.

Both lawsuits allege that YouTube allows scams to appear on its site because the viewers they attract help sell the site’s digital ads, which overall generated $15 billion in revenue for Google last year.

Although Google’s search engine serves as the company’s most lucrative advertising channel, YouTube has been playing an increasingly important role during the past few years as people watch more video online instead of traditional TV.

In a response to Garlinghouse’s lawsuit on Monday, YouTube said it cannot be held liable for the scam video under section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a 24-year-old law that protects internet companies from being held responsible for material posted by third parties so long as they promptly remove illegal content . YouTube will try to persuade a judge to dismiss Garlinghouse’s lawsuit during a hearing scheduled next month.
