Amaravati not a priority for Jagan?

June 1, 2019

It looks like construction of new capital city Amaravati is not the priority list of YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, who assumed charge on Thursday.

Jagan, who had interacted with senior officials of the government, said Amaravati works could wait, as he had other priorities in mind, especially implementation of his nine promises – Nava Ratnaalu.

“We already have an interim secretariat and interim high court, which are in good condition. We can happily work from these buildings and there is no need to borrow huge funds from external agencies and take up the works on war footing,” he is understood to have told the officials.

If the chief minister has his way, the works on the ongoing construction of permanent secretariat, permanent assembly building and high court could be stopped until further orders.

Jagan would soon have a meeting with the officials of the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) and take a call on what to continue and what not among the given constructions.

Sources said the government might give priority to continue works on residential complexes for employees, IAS and IPS quarters, judges’ quarters and legislators’ building complex which are nearing completion. The remaining works could be kept in pending, sources said.

New ‘Sardar Patel’ Shah both hailed, taunted on Twitter

May 31, 2019

New Delhi: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi cleared the decks for BJP President Amit Shah to become the new Home Minister of the country, messages warning stone pelters in Kashmir, terrorists, Maoists and the so-called “Tukde Tukde Gang” flooded Twitter, while others dubbed it a poor choice.

“Stone pelters in Kashmir, Bangladeshis pack your Bag. India has got new Sardar Patel as Home Minister @AmitShah,” tweeted Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, spokesperson, BJP Delhi.

“Amit Shah is the new Home Minister! Beware all ‘Tukde Tukde Gang’, terrorists, Maoists and their supporters! Your dad is here… #HomeMinistry,” wrote another Twitter user.

Memes mocking Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other opposition leaders also started doing the rounds on the social media.

While one person wondered if Kejriwal fell ill hearing the news of Shah becoming the Home Minister, someone else made a meme of fugitive Indian Islamic preacher Zakir Naik saying: “I love India. India is best…”

“Meet the new Home Minister of India. IB will directly report to him. AB HOGA NYAY,” wrote one Twitter user.

“Mota Bhai is the new Home Minister of India. All those pseudo-liberals who wanted to leave India, now is the time,” said another user.

“Amit Shah broke the back of terrorism in Gujarat as Home Minister. As union Home Minister, he’ll take anti-corruption cases against Vadra, National Herald, Chidambarams & others to a quicker conclusion apart from handling Naxal & Pak terrorism, J&K & keeping an eye on the party,” wrote journalist Minhaz Merchant.

Shah’s new job also drew criticism. “Amit Shah is Home Minister. What a time to be alive,” lamented columnist Mitali Saran.

“A few years ago, a bunch of tapes came out in public domain in which a man could be heard instructing Gujarat Police to stalk a woman. That man is now going to be a Union Minister of India. #NewIndia,” Alt News Co-founder Pratik Sinha tweeted.

“That man is now the Home Minister of India. Achhe Din ahead for women safety and privacy,” said Dalit rights activists Jignesh Mevani.

Called the “Chanakya” of modern day Indian politics, Shah became Modi a loyalist as both were associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since their early days.

During his tenure as a minister in Gujarat, Shah held several portfolios including transport, police, housing, border security, civil defense, gram rakshak dal, Home Guards, prison, prohibition, excise, law and justice, parliamentary affairs and the coveted Home Ministry.

New Andhra CM goes for major shake-up in administration

May 31, 2019

Amaravati: A day after taking oath as the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has gone for a major shake-up in the administration, shunting out the police chief and four Secretaries in the Chief Minister’s Office.

As expected, Jagan Reddy carried out the rejig in the top echelons of the police department, replacing Director General of Police (DGP) R.P. Thakur with Damodar Goutam Sawang.

Thakur, who was considered close to Jagan’s predecessor N. Chandrababu Naidu, was posted as Commissioner, Printing & Stationery and Stores Purchase, considered a loop posting.

Chief Secretary L.V. Subrahmanyam late Thursday issued orders appointing Sawang as the head of police force.

Sawang, who is Director, Vigilance & Enforcement Department, was given full additional charge as the new DGP. He is eventually expected to take regular charge as the state police chief.

Hours after his appointment, Sawang met Jagan Reddy at the latter’s office and discussed the law and order situation in the state.

Jagan Reddy is understood to have given him necessary instructions on reshuffle in the police administration.

In another major reshuffle, the new government transferred A.B. Venkateswara Rao, Director General, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). He was directed to report to the General Administration Department for further posting.

Kumar Vishwajeet, Additional Director General, Intelligence, was given full additional charge as Director General, ACB, until further orders.

Venkateswara Rao was Additional Director General, Intelligence, when the Election Commission shunted him out in April following a complaint by Jagan’s YSR Congress Party that he was supporting the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

The new government also shunted out four IAS officials from the Chief Minister’s Office.

They are Satish Chandra, Special Chief Secretary to CM, G. Sai Prasad, Principal Secretary to CM, M. Girija Shankar and Adusimilli V. Rajamouli, both Secretaries to CM. They were directed to report to General Administration for further postings.

Solomon Arokia Raj, Secretary, Industries & Commerce Department, was posted as Secretary to the Chief Minister. Shamsher Singh Rawat, Principal Secretary to Government, Social Welfare, was transferred and posted as Principal, Finance Secretary.

P. Krishna Mohan Reddy, Special Grade Deputy Collector (Retd), was appointed as Officer on Special Duty to the Chief Minister.

All the orders were issued by Chief Secretary Subrahmanyam, who is likely to continue on the top post.

He was appointed as Chief Secretary by the Election Commission after shunting out A.C. Punetha on charges of allegedly defying the poll panel’s order on transfer of some officials.

Srilakshmi To Get Plum Post In AP?

May 31, 2019

Senior IAS officer Y Srilakshmi, who had been facing a CBI inquiry in the sensational Obulapuram mining scandal since 2011, is most likely to get a prominent post in Andhra Pradesh government headed by YSR Congress party president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Srilakshmi, a 1988 batch IAS officer allotted to Telangana cadre, met Jagan at the latter’s Tadepalli residence on Friday.

She requested him to take up with the Telangana government to relieve her, so that she could serve her native state of Andhra Pradesh.

She had already moved an application with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government stating that she would like to work with the Jagan government in AP.

She had opted for the Telagnana cadre during the bifurcation, as she did not want to work under Telugu Desam Party government headed by N Chandrababu Naidu, who she feels was responsible for her implication in the case.

Now that Naidu was defeated, she wants to come to AP on deputation to work in her native state at least for another five years.

Apparently, Jagan received Srilakshmi well and showed a lot of sympathy for her. He promised to get Srilakshmi on the board and give her a prime posting.

In all probability, she might get the special chief secretary rank post in a key department, sources said.

Srilakshmi was charged by the CBI with flouting norms in granting mining leases to Obulapuram Mining Corporation owned by mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy when Y S Rajasekhar Reddy was Chief Minister.

She had been arrested on November 28, 2011 and had spent nearly one year in Chanchalguda Jail where she fell sick. She came out on bail in October 2012.

In 2016, the Telangana government revoked her suspension, gave orders allotting her to Telangana cadre and a posting.

She rejoined the duty after five years and had been appointed secretary, public enterprises.

Meet The Poorest MP In The Modi’s Cabinet

May 31, 2019

Yesterday in the swearing-in ceremony, Pratap Chandra Sarangi received an outstanding response from the dignitaries present at the venue. But who is this Pratap Chandra Sarangi and why people at the swearing ceremony gave him a standing ovation.

Pratap is the poorest among the entire cabinet and is well known for his outmost simplicity. In fact during the election campaign, he hired auto-rickshaws because of his financial status to seek votes from people. Narendra Modi knows about Pratap and so he campaigned extensively for the Odisha leader and finally the result was a positive outcome.

Pratap Chandra Sarangi is an MP from Balasore constituency of Odisha. The 64-year-old first time Parliamentarian is hailed as “Odisha’s Modi” as he is quite famous for his oratory skills. Pratap won against crorepati candidates BJD MP Rabindra Kumar Jena and Odisha Congress’ Navajyoti Patnaik in this election with a majority of 13,000 votes.

In the social media, Pratap is getting popular for his down-to-earth nature and people are hailing for Modi too for inducting Pratap in the cabinet.

Irrespective of politics, country needs such honest leaders whose work talks more than anything else.
