Why did Jagan choose five Deputy CMs?

Share

The decision of YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to appoint five deputy chief ministers in his cabinet has become a big sensation in political circles and hit the headlines even in the national media.

His decision was hailed as a major step towards social justice, as all the five deputy chief ministers represent weaker sections likeminorities, SC, ST, BC and Kapus. So, it naturally triggered a big debate in the media.

However, critics view Jagan’s move to appoint five Deputy CMs with a lot of scepticism.

According to former MLC and Osmania University professor K Nageshwar, who in his comments on his YouTube channel, observed that the YSRC president did not want to create any impression that there is No. 2 in his cabinet.

“If there is only one deputy CM, he will naturally gain the recognition as No. 2, after Jagan. If there are five deputy chief ministers, this number game has no significance at all. So, none of them will have any importance over other ministers,” he said.

He also suspected whether Jagan would give prominent portfolios to these five deputy CMs.

“They will be just ornamental posts and the whole authority would be with only Jagan,” Nageshwar said.

Another analyst felt that there would be no resistance in the council of ministers for lack of prominence.

“Nobody could dare question the decision of Jagan to restrict the term of the ministers to just 30 months. And nobody will raise any voice because they were all elected because of Jagan’s popularity. Since he got such a huge mandate, there is no way anybody will express his or her dissent,” the analyst said.

Srikanth Reddy is chief whip!

Share

Senior YSR Congress party leader and MLA Gadikota Srikanth Reddy, who is a hard core loyalist of party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S jaganmohan Reddy, has been appointed as chief whip of the Andhra Pradesh government in the assembly.

Srikanth Reddy was one of the MLAs whose name was in circulation for a long time for the cabinet berth. However, Jagan could not accommodate him due to caste and regional equations.

So, he chose Srikanth Reddy for the chief whip post, which is of cabinet rank and has all the protocol privileges of a minister.

In fact, there was a talk on Saturday morning that Jagan is considering the name of actress-cum-firebrand MLA from Nagari R K Roja for the chief whip post.

May be he has decided against choosing her because of her loose tongue which might bring disrepute to the party.

Apart from Srikanth Reddy, Jagan also appointed MLAs – Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, Muthyala Naidu, Dadishetty Raja, Parthasarathy and Korumutla Srinivas as the party whips in the assembly. All of them expected berths in the Jagan cabinet but were not successful.

All of them would take oath in the presence of Governor E S L Narasimhan, party sources said.

Jagan brings a new colour to Secretariat!

Share

After a long time, the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat at Velagapudi has gained a new colour on Saturday with the entry of new chief minister of the state and YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy into his chamber.

Many Secretariat employees recalled that the atmosphere in the campus was rigid and tense in the last few years. Now, they feel very much relaxed with the new dispensation.

“However, it is too early to talk about the working atmosphere under the Jagan Mohan Reddy rule. We shall wait and see how he handles the administration. At least for now, he is very dynamic and we hope he will bring dynamism in the departments with new work culture,” an employee commented.

Jagan entered the chief minister’s chambers at 8.30 am amidst chanting of Vedic hymns by pundits and grand welcome from the Secretariat employees.

After performing pujas in the chambers, he garlanded the huge portrait of his father late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy that adorned the wall, before occupying his chair.

Later, he signed files pertaining to increase of salaries for Aasha workers, seeking permission for taking up Anatapur expressway and health insurance scheme for journalists.

Jagan gets exemption from CBI court appearance

Share

A CBI special court in Hyderabad on Friday accorded exemption to Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy from appearing before the court in disproportionate assets case.

YSRCP MP and party’s general secretary Vijayasai Reddy also secured exemption.

With this, both got a relief from attending the CBI court in Nampally, Hyderabad yesterday. However, this is one-time exemption only.

Jagan needs to apply for exemption again next Friday, if he wants to skip court.

It may be recalled that Jagan needs to appear before CBI court every Friday to face trail in disproportionate assets cases filed by CBI.

Allowing two pleas, filed on behalf of both Jagan and his party’s MP Vijayasai Reddy, the court granted them exemption. Principal special judge BR Madhusudan Rao gave these orders while hearing cases pertaining to the main case.

The CBI, it can be recalled, has filed as many 11 chargesheets on various episodes such as India Cements, Vanpic, and Dalmia Cements.

The counsel for Jagan urged the court to hear together the discharge petitions filed by them in all these cases. The judge told them that he will hold a hearing on this aspect and pronounce his decision thereafter.

Petitioners’ counsel cited Jagan’s busy schedule as chief minister of AP as reason for seeking exemption, and the meeting of party legislators was shown as reason for Vijayasai Reddy’s plea.

Several politicians and officials who were shown as accused, too, filed exemption pleas, which too were allowed.

Industrialists, Indu Syam Prasad Reddy, Pratap Reddy, Srinivasan, Nimmagadda Prasad, Ayodhya Rami Reddy appeared before the court.

Trump trolled after he claims moon part of Mars

Share

San Francisco: US President Donald Trump has left people astonished with his knowledge of space and the universe and has become a laughing stock yet again after he claimed that the moon is a part of Mars.

In a tweet on Friday, he said: “For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon – We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defence and Science.”

Trump’s remarks came a day after NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told USA Today that US astronauts would not be able to make a lunar landing by 2024 unless Trump administration’s $1.6 billion budget increase request is not approved by the US Congress.

As soon as Trump tweeted, people from around the world started trolling him with witty one-liners, jokes and memes.

“Sigh! His dad must have paid his way through astronomy class too!” wrote American long-distance runner Ryan Hill.

“Trump’s knowledge on this matter is one small step for man, one giant leap backwards for mankind,” said Emmy-nominated filmmaker Jeremy Newberger.

“Based on the President’s track record here on Earth, I don’t think NASA needs his input on how to handle space,” tweeted Sam Vinograd, national security analyst at CNN.

Earlier in May, Trump, who is infamous for making controversial statements, war threats and spelling errors on his Twitter handle, confessed that he uses Twitter as a “typewriter”.

Later, Twitter Co-founder, Ev Williams called Trump “master” of the platform, arguing the potential negative effects of the President’s tweets on the country’s political discourse are “trivial compared to the effect of the broader media”.

Mars has two moons – Phobos and Deimos – however, the Moon which orbits the Earth is not a part of the Red Planet.

GVD is Advisor (Communications) to Jagan

Share

Senior journalist GVD Krishna Mohan, who has been the voice of YSR Congress party for the last nine years, was on Friday appointed as Advisor (Communications) to Government of Andhra Pradesh, headed by chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

GVD, who started his career in journalism with Eenadu, used to write columns in the editorial page on various national and international issues, including Constitutional matters, economic affairs and politics, which got him a lot of name and fame.

His interview with senior Maoist leader Akkiraju Haragopal alias Ramakrishna (RK) on ETV News channel received wide appreciation.

GVD was one of the founding pillars of Sakshi media house and within a short time of the launch of Sakshi, he started exposing the maladies plaguing the system including deep-rooted corruption in various government departments through his column “Edi Nijam.”

Since then, he had become one of the close confidants of former chief minister late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy and present chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. He had been associated with Jagan in every moment and walked along with the party president and his family in all the difficult situations.

Ever since Jagan had founded YSR Congress party on March 12, 2011, GVD had been part of YSR family and the voice of the party. He not only gave a strong voice to the party but also trained several spokespersons to effectively communicate the party stand on various issues. He was a real political master for the party’s spokespersons.

During Jagan’s padayatra, GVD had been associated with him and shared every difficulty and every turbulence faced by the party president. With Jagan coming to power with thumping majority, GVD has now become the communications head.

The romantic family entertainer already has Pooja Hegde as the main female lead. Tabu is playing mother’s role. Now, Nivetha has joined the cast adding more glamour.

Her name has officially been announced by Haarika Haasine Creations that is producing the film.

Nivetha Pethuraj was recently seen in Sai Dharam Tej’s romantic drama ‘Chitralahari’, which was an average grosser. Regular shoot is under progress.

Only four Reddys in Jagan cabinet!

Share

Contrary to the expectations that there would be domination of Reddys in the government of YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, the community will get only four berths in the cabinet.

According to YSR Congress party sources, there is a proportional representation to all the communities in the cabinet of Jagan.

As announced earlier, there would be five deputy chief ministers representing marginalised sections in the cabinet like SC, ST, BC, Kapu and Muslim minorities, which is considered to be a historic decision by Jagan.

Out of the 25 ministers, eight cabinet berths are being given to to BCs, five to SCs and one to ST, who account for 60 per cent of the entire cabinet of Jagan.

Besides, the chief minister also gave a lot of prominenceto Kapu Kapu community by allocating four cabinet berths.

While Reddys will get four berths, Kamma, Kshatriya and Vysya communities will get one berth each.

There is no representation to Brahmin community. Out of the two Brahmin MLAs in the party – Malladi Vishnu and Kona Raghupathi, one of them is likely to be made deputy speaker of the state assembly, sources said.
