Rahul Gandhi Special Status Promise to AP State
‘Ravali Jagan, Kavali Jagan’ Garners 10 M Views
‘Ravali Jagan, Kavali Jagan’ has become the most watched political campaign song on YouTube, less than a month after its official launch.The official campaign song of the YSR Congress Party has over 10 million views and counting, after it was uploaded onto the Indian Political Action Committee (IPAC) YouTube Channel on March 8.
‘Ravali Jagan, Kavali Jagan’ (we will bring Jagan, we need Jagan) is a poll campaign slogan coined by the IPAC in 2018. Under the banner, the party cadre had previously run a month-long outreach programme to highlight its poll promises.
In the sleekly edited video, shots of Jagan interacting with people from across communities during his 3,648-km Praja Sankalpa Yatra make up for most of the 4.44-minute song.It is largely a critique of the incumbent Telugu Desam Party government led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
Lyrics of the song highlight the plight of the pensioners, backward classes burdened with loans and unemployed youth.The extent of the video’s reach is surprising considering that IPAC only has 18 thousand YouTube subscribers and less than a million followers on Facebook and Twitter combined.
In comparison, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan’s campaign song has slightly over 1 million views despite his party YouTube channel having close to seven hundred thousand subscribers. The song ‘Pada Pada’ was launched five months ago.
Nivetha Thomas Looks To Experiment Now!
Nivetha Thomas has been promising about a new character from her from long. She said that she is taking on a different role in her next after 118.Her character in 118 could light up the film and take it to the next level of becoming a one time watchable. She is again trying something unique.
She tweeted,
“Young girls grow into strong women and their strength is beautiful. Passion,self respect,pain and the spirit of life makes them who they are. And This, is Mithra.
#Mithra is in me, and a piece of her is in all of you too!
Proud to portray her in this story #Brochevarevarura”
Looks like the actress will have an arc that is satisfying for her to perform and for us to watch as well.
The movie seems to have her story at the core with all characters playing a rims in her wheel that moves her life forward as a thing we should now.
Special category status is no poll issue!
Till the other day, special category status to Andhra Pradesh was a buzz word in the state politics. Not a single day was passed without one party or the other raising the issue in the run-up to the general elections in Andhra Pradesh.
In fact, the political parties have given the impression that special category status to AP would be the main election plank for all the parties in the elections.
It was on this issue that Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu had pulled out of the NDA in March 2018.
But when the electioneering actually started early this month following the announcement of election schedule, parties seem to have forgotten the special category status which ceases to be an issue in the elections.
YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who talked about the issue all through his padayatra, has pushed it to the backburner.
Except on one or two occasions, Jagan has not been raising the special category status issue at all. He is focusing more on attacking Naidu and highlighting his Navaratnas, rather than the special category status.
On the other hand, Naidu, too, has ignored the demand and is concentrating on his welfare schemes and of course, attacking Jagan, his alleged criminal background and corruption.
So is the case with Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan who claimed that he was the only person to champion the cause of special category status.
While the BJP leaders have any way been ignoring the demand, the Congress party which has taken up the issue afresh is also not raising it at all during the campaign.
Interestingly, even the people have stopped discussing about special category status, which everybody thought would become an emotive issue in the elections.
By the way, leaders like Andhra Intellectuals Forum founder and presently chairman of Pratyeka Hoda Sadhana Samiti Chalasani Srinivas, who used to make hue and cry over the status issue, has now gone silent!
Ex-central minister quits TDP, to join YSRC
Nobody knows better than Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu in using and throwing leaders.
When Naidu feels any leader is not of any use to the party, irrespective of his seniority and popularity, he will not hesitate to dump them and discard them without showing any sympathy.
That is why more and more senior leaders are deserting the TDP and looking towards YSR Congress party.
The latest example is former Union minister of state for steel Sai Pratap. The six time MP from Rajampet in Kadapa has found himself in a miserable position after joining the Telugu Desam Party three years ago.
Despite being a popular leader in the constituency, Naidu did not even consider his name for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
What is worse, Sai Pratap was not given any position or post in the party and Naidu ddid not bother to respect his seniority. All these years, he had been treated as an ordinary party worker.
Having no other way, Sai Pratap announced his resignation from the TDP on Saturday.
“I get tears when I think about my position in the TDP all these years. There had been no respect for me and my seniority. Naidu called me to Amaravati and took me into party, but humiliated me by not giving me any responsibility,” Sai Pratap said.
He is most likely to join the YSR Congress party. Since he was one of the close confidants of late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, he might feel comfortable in joining the party of YSR’s son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
Meanwhile, another MLA – Mani Gandhi from Kodumuru assembly constituency, also quit the TDP on Saturday and returned to his parent party YSR Congress party.
Gandhi was one of the 23 YSRC MLAs who had defected to the TDP in the past. He was denied the TDP ticket this election.
