EC could book criminal case against Naidu!
The Election Commission has all the evidences to prove the large scale electoral malpractices being committed by the Telugu Desam Party government headed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
According to reports, EC had taken the decision to transfer state intelligence chief A B Venkateshwar Rao and SPs of Srikakulam and Kadapa, only after ascertaining all the facts following a complaint by the YSRC leaders.
“It was a decision taken by the full bench of the EC in the wake of complaints received from multiple sources. EC has its own ways and means to investigate, ascertain facts, come to the conclusions,” a source in the EC said.
He said with regard to allegations of telephone tapping, the EC has all the communications (letters) to this effect, which clearly establishes culpability.
“It is only a sample. Actually a criminal case should have been registered against the Concerned for illegally tapping,” the EC source said.
He pointed out that the action taken by the ECI was only a simple transfer of certain officials, who have come to its adverse notice. “There is no punitive action yet. There were complaints against their actions and conduct which does not arouse confidence in all sections towards free and fair elections,” he said.
All officials and official machinery are under the EC with the sole objective to conduct free and fair elections. Therefore it’s not only well within the ambit of responsibility of the EC, but an obligation on it to change them even if there is a slightest of suspicion, the EC source said.
On the concerns expressed over the security of the chief minister, the EC source said it was taken care of mainly by the NSG, Black Cat commandos and there is a separate wing of AP Security Wing which takes care of the CMs Security.
“An IPS officer of SP rank exclusively takes care of CM Security and coordinates on a day to day basis. Two SP rank officers are PSOs to the CM and a DIG rank heads the separate and exclusive AP Security Wing. Therefore the chief of intelligence does not matter in the scheme of things on a daily basis,” he said.
Dirty Secrets: Chinni Krishna Vs Akula Siva
Akula Siva, the writer of blockbusters “Tulasi”, “Nayak” and “Krishna”, made startling revelation that he wrote the most of the script of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s “Indra”.
In a video message sent to the media, Akula Siva lambasted writer Chinni Krishna who criticised Pawan Kalyan for his electoral speeches.
Chinni Krishna who wrote hits like ‘Indra’ and ‘Narasimha Naidu’ slammed Pawan Kalyan for making cheap comments that Andhra people living in Hyderabad are being beaten up by fellow Telangana residents.
Reacting to Chinni Krishna’s comments, Akula Siva who also belongs to Chiranjeevi’s community like Chinni Krishna does said he wrote the scenes of “Indra”.
“When I wrote scenes of Governor Bungalow to Meedi Tenali Maadi Tenali in “Indra”, Chiranjeevi garu asked me to take credit as writer but it was Chinni Krishna who begged me not to spoil his career,” Akula Siva revealed.
He also termed Chinni Krishna as “drunkard”. However, it is not verified whether Akul Siva is telling the truth. Why he has not revealed this information before?
2019: TRS seems to have clear edge in Telangana
Hyderabad: Buoyed by its landslide victory in the recent Telangana Assembly elections and with opposition parties looking demoralised, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) appears to have clear edge as it aims to make a clean sweep in the next month’s elections to 17 Lok Sabha seats in India’s youngest state.
The ruling party is working with ‘Mission 16’ while its friendly party Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) sitting pretty to continue its stranglehold on Hyderabad.
Reeling under desertions by its MLAs, the Congress is struggling to put up a strong fight against TRS while the BJP’s prospects too look remote.
The TRS is appealing to the people to give all seats so that it, along with other regional parties, can play a key role in forming anon-BJP, non-Congress government at the Centre. Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao, who is eying an important role in the national politics, is leading the party campaign along with his son and TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao.
“We got 47 per cent votes in the recent Assembly elections and won 75 per cent of the seats. We have initiated process to implement the promises we made. People are disillusioned with Congress and BJP. I believe Telangana will rock solidly stand with KCRji,” Rama Rao told IANS.
In the Assembly elections held in December, the TRS had sought a mandate on the basis of its performance, especially the welfare schemes implemented during the last four-and-half years.
Despite the Congress cobbling up a four-party front, including the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the TRS got the massive mandate, winning 88 seats in 119-member Assembly. The ruling party’s tally swelled to 100 with nine Congress MLAs joining its ranks this month. One MLA from TDP also crossed over to TRS while two independents had already switched loyalties.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the TRS had bagged 11 seats while the Congress won two and the TDP, the YSR Congress, the BJP and the MIM got one each. Three MPs each of the TDP, the YSR Congress and the Congress later defected to TRS. On the eve of Assembly elections, TRS also lost one MP, with Konda Vishweshwar Reddy joining the Congress. He is again contesting from Chevella, this time on the Congress ticket.
The TRS, which dropped four outgoing MPs, is especially focusing on four constituencies, including Secunderabad and Khammam which it has never won. In the 2014 Assembly polls, the TDP-BJP combine had bagged 14 of the 24 Assembly seats and Secunderabad and Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituencies. This was mainly because ‘settlers’, as the people from Andhra Pradesh living here are referred to, threw their weight behind the alliance. The TDP also did well in Khammam district, another place where the TRS could not establish itself.
Since then, the TRS has made major inroads in Greater Hyderabad, the capturing Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) with a landslide majority in 2016. In the recent Assembly elections, it won 14 out of 24 seats while MIM retained seven seats.
In a political masterstroke, KCR roped in TDP leader and former MP from Khammam, Nama Nageswara Rao and within hours declared him the TRS candidate from Khammam.
Smarting under desertions of its leaders, the TDP opted out of the race for Lok Sabha elections, helping TRS to achieve its goal of finishing off TDP, which it considers an Andhra party.
Losing nine MLAs to the ruling camp after crushing defeat in Assembly elections and with the lack of any charismatic leader, the Congress is in total disarray. It had to fall back on the leaders who were defeated in Assembly elections to contest the Lok Sabha polls.
The Congress hopes to give a good fight to TRS in constituencies like Khammam, Nalgonda, Bhuvangiri, Malkajgiri and Chevella.
Senior Congress leader and former union minister Renuka Chowdary carries the party’s hopes in Khammam, while state unit president Uttam Kumar Reddy faces a tough battle in Nalgonda.
The CPI and CPI-M, which fought Assembly elections as a part of different alliances, have joined hands to field candidates in their former strongholds of Nalgonda and Khammam.
A triangular fight is expected in constituencies like Secunderabad, Nizamabad, Mahabubnagar and Karimnagar, where the BJP is considered to have sizeable presence.
In Nizamabad, KCR’s daughter K. Kavitha, who is seeking re-election for a second consecutive term, is locked in a keen battle against Madhu Yashki Goud of the Congress and D. Aravind of the BJP. About 200 farmers have also entered the fray in this constituency to highlight their hardships.
The BJP replaced its lone outgoing MP and senior leader Bandaru Dattatreya with G. Kishan Reddy in Secunderabad, a seat which was held by either Congress or BJP in the past. While Congress has fielded its former MP Anjan Kumar Yadav, state minister T. Srinivas Yadav’s son Sai Kiran Yadav is the TRS candidate.

Lakshmi’s NTR Still Hangs in the Balance
The release of Ram Gopal Varma’s “Lakshmi’s NTR” is still hanging in the balance in the court.
Although Censor Board has given clearance to the movie and Telangana High Court dismissed the petitions seeking the movie’s release, Telugu Desam party leaders are still trying to stop it.
Andhra Pradesh High Court today took up the lunch motion petition filed by TDP leaders. But court has postponed the case to Thursday for hearing. The film’s release in Andhra Pradesh hangs on this court’s judgement.
It is said that RGV for this reason has cancelled today’s pre-release event. He is awaiting to see all the hurdles clear off.
Naidu ignores EC, retains intelligence chief!
Within less than 24 hours of the Election Commission of India ordering transferring of Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (Intelligence) A B Venkateshwar Rao along with two SPs, Telugu Desam Party government headed by N Chandrababu Naidu retained the top cop violating the EC orders.
Naidu government initially issued orders attaching Venkateshwara Rao, besides Srikalulam SP Venkata Ratnam and Kadapa SP Rahul Dev Sharma to the police headquarters and directed them to hand over the charge to other senior-most officers, as per the EC directions.
But within hours, the transfer orders were withdrawn and a fresh GO was issued, confining the EC orders to only two SPs and Venkateshwar Rao’s name was removed, indicating that he would continue to be the state intelligence chief.
The government also issued a separate order listing out all the police officials – right from Director General of Police to the constable in a local police station, who would be directly working under the purview of the Election Commission, till the election process was completed.
Interestingly, the order does not have the name of DG (Intelligence) A B Venkateshwar Rao, indicating that he does not fall under the purview of the EC, just like Chief Secretary.
It clearly shows that Naidu has decided to bypass EC orders and retain the intelligence chief.
Urmila Matondkar Will Be Most Glamorous Politician!
Ram Gopal Varma who was the reason for Urmila Matondkar’s star status is thrilled that she has joined the Congress party.
Urmila of “Rangeela” fame will be contesting as MP from Mumbai on congress ticket as she was welcomed into the party by Rahul Gandhi.
45-year-old Urmila who is also cancer survivor has acted in numerous movies made by Ram Gopal Varma. “Rangeela” and “Sathya” were most famous movies in their combination.
RGV in his trademark style tweeted that she will become the most beautiful politician in India.
“Hey Urmila , I am ULTRA thrilled to hear about ur new journey from being the most beautiful woman ever to now going to be the most beautiful politician ever ..Aaieeere aaiereeee Zor lagaake aaieere,” he tweeted wishing her good luck as political leader.
Urmila used to be his muse but they are not on good terms these days.
Chandrababu slams EC over police officials’ transfer
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday protested against the manner in which the Election Commission (EC) transferred three police officials, saying the order was biased and violated the principles of natural justice.
Naidu, in his letter to the Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora, said he was shocked over the EC’s order to transfer Director General (Intelligence) A.B. Venkateswara Rao, Srikakulam Superintendent of Police Venkata Ratnam and Kadapa Superintendent of Police Rahul Dev Sharma.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President alleged that the poll panel’s order was deliberately aimed at benefiting YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) under the influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and aided by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao.
The EC on Tuesday had ordered transfer of three top police officials and directed that they should not be assigned any election-related work.
Naidu wrote it was sad that the EC ordered the transfer of the officials based on just a complaint by the YSRCP and did so in less than 24 hours of the complaint without even a preliminary inquiry.
He said the EC in its order had not even mentioned the reasons for transfers.
“The EC, which has been assigned with the authority of conducting free and fair elections to safeguard democracy, itself conducts its business in the most unfair and undemocratic manner,” he said.
Naidu said that the Director General (Intelligence) was not connected with the conduct of election but was responsible for providing security to him, his cabinet colleagues and senior political leaders.
“Transferring the DG, Intelligence at this hour is nothing but a deep rooted well orchestrated evil design born out of criminal conspiracy hatched by (YSRCP chief) Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, duly abetted by K. Chandrashekhar Rao and Narendra Modi,” said Naidu, alleging that the EC had joined the list of constitutional bodies which are no longer independent.
Pointing out that DG (Intelligence) is not a designated officer under Section 28A of the Representation of People’s Act 1951, Naidu said the EC had no jurisdiction to transfer him and seek a panel of three names from the government to fill the vacancy.
He said Kadapa Superintendent of Police Sharma’s transfer was highly objectionable as he was probing the murder of former minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy.
Video Shows Balakrishna abusing Journalist
Balakrishna does it again. The serial offender has now abused a journalist and tried to slap the media person.
Nandamuri Balakrishna who is contesting the polls for the second time as MLA for Hindupur assembly constituency lost his cool and misbehaved with a channel’s journalist.
A video of the actor has the gone viral on social media. Balakrishna who got irritated with a journalist recording the actor’s campaigning abused the media person mercilessly.
He can be heard hurling abuses at the journalist and asking him to delete the footage.
The video clearly shows Balakrishna threatening the journalist that he would slit him (nariki pogulu peduta). Balakrishna also said he knows how to throw bombs.
Cong Invites ‘Chevella chellemma’ Back!
The unexpected victory of former minister T Jeevan Reddy and two other Congress-backed candidates in the MLC elections gave the much needed relief to the Congress party in Telangana.
The Congress leaders are hopeful that the results would bring to halt the exodus of party leaders into the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
What is more, they are also hopeful that those who had left the party in haste would also return to the party fold.
On Wednesday, Pradesh Congress Committee treasurer Gudur Narayan Reddy gave a call to those who left the party to come back as the people are disgusted with the TRS.
He particularly invited former minister and Maheshwaram MLA Sabita Indra Reddy to return to the Congress.
“Chevella Chellamma, Malli Ravamma,” he appealed to Sabita. He said Sabita had left the party out of anguish, but he said it would be good for her and the party to come back to the Congress.
He said the mood of people of Telangana was already against TRS in the assembly elections.
“However, chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao manipulated EVMs and indulged in other irregularities to win the polls. The MLC elections, which were held on ballot paper, have proved that it was the Congress, and not the TRS, for whom people have voted in last elections and wants to vote in future. Therefore, the Congress party is bound to win a majority of seats in forthcoming Lok Sabha elections,” he said.
Reddy said teachers, employees and graduates have voted against the TRS-backed candidates in MLC constituencies spread across 42 Assembly segments covering 7 erstwhile undivided districts of Telangana.
Congress leader T. Jeevan Reddy has won from a graduate constituency which includes Sircilla (represented by KTR) and Nizamabad (represented by K. Kavitha) with a majority of over 39,000 votes.
“This has proved that the defeat Jeevan Reddy suffered in the last Assembly elections was purely due to EVM manipulation by TRS. Similar is the case with other Assembly constituencies in Telangana,” he said.
Nita Ambani’s gift to her DIL is worth Rs.300 cr
Ambani’s wedding of Akash and Shloka has been one of the most exorbitant weddings in the last few months. On March 9th, Mukesh and Nita Ambani’s son Akash Ambani married Shloka Mehta under many bigwigs’ presence.
What Nita gifted to her daughter-in-law has now become the most talked about. Yes! And don’t even start guessing because the wedding gift is just unbelievably pricey.
The Ambani’s fairytale wedding has left everyone spellbound and the news on Nita Ambani’s gift to Shokla Mehta is going viral now. It is reported that she gave her daughter in law an expensive diamond necklace which is made on a budget of Rs 300 crore. The piece is said to be the costliest in the world, L’Incomparable. Nita also gifted Shloka the heritage gold necklace of their family.
Apart from it, Akash’s sister, Isha Ambani, gifted her Bhabhi a palatial bungalow too. Now, who wouldn’t dream of having a mother-in-law like Nita Ambani? The diamond necklace is said to be a work of art with mesmerizing beauty.
How electoral slogans have ensured TDP’s victory
Andhra Pradesh has had a vibrant political history along with a dash of glamour. The Telugu culture and enterprising attitude have seeped even into the state’s politics. Until the early 1980s where the Indian National Congress has had a monopoly, regional parties broke the jinx in that decade, which also saw the birth of the Telugu Desam Party in 1982 in Andhra Pradesh. Founded by film actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR), TDP soon became a force to reckon with, as scores of people from across the state began supporting NTR.
During his campaign trail in his Chevrolet van which was called the “Chaitanya Ratham,” he highlighted the ill-treatment of then Chief Minister T. Anjaiah by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. This resonated with the people as NTR had introduced “Telugu vaari aatma gauravam (self-respect of Telugus)” as his election slogan. Additionally, he also highlighted the need to get rid of the Madrasis tag, by those who referred to every South Indian as a Madrasi, without understanding the state’s demography or language.
At every campaign trail or public meeting, NTR highlighted “aatma gauravam” and stoked the sentiment of Telugus. This slogan eventually worked for NTR along with his charisma, eventually giving Telugu Desam Party a thumping win in the 1983 elections with 201 out of total 290 assembly seats.
Interestingly, the 2014 assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh post-bifurcation also created a similar scenario of “Seemandhra sentiment” where Telangana and Andhra Pradesh were divided. The wrath of bifurcation was clear in Andhra Pradesh. While the people of Telangana sought a separate state, those from Rayalaseema and Andhra were clearly against. However, the Congress had decided to divide the state against the wishes of the people of AP, apart from putting liabilities in AP’s basket while assets when to Telangana.
The TDP’s election slogan for 2014 assembly elections was “Job Kavalante Babu Ravali (If you want job, Bring Babu Back).” The slogan caught up with the people who put the onus of their future in the TDP chief’s hands. Given that the contest between the TDP and YSR Congress Party in AP elections in 2014 was tight, TDP stood victorious as people put their faith in the proven leadership of N. Chandrababu Naidu, as against Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy who was still seen as a political novice.
Now again, the Telugu Desam Party has come up with the slogan “Mee Bhavishyathu, naa bhadyatha (Your future is my responsibility),” indicating that the party will make the state a model for other states in India if Chandrababu is back as the Chief Minister. This time, however, working a slogan on the lines of TDP’s, YSR Congress party has come up with “Ravali Jagan Kavali Jagan (We want Jagan, we need Jagan).
Going by this, the moot question is will the TDP get lucky this time too, with its catchy slogan? We are yet to witness it.
Naidu Offers MLC to Janasena Candidate SPY Reddy
After being denied Nandyal parliament ticket for SPY Reddy’s daughter, the senior political leader has left Telugu Desham party and joined Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena. In Jana Sena, SPY Reddy and family is rewarded with one MP and 3 assembly seats in Kurnool.
But the senior, who switched his loyalties to TDP after winning on YSRCP ticket in 2014 polls, has received an open offer from TDP supreme Nara Chandrababu Naidu, who addressed a road show in Nandyal. Babu urged SPY Reddy to extend his support for TDP and to become a part of Nandyal development. He even went a step ahead and offered MLC seat for Reddy’s family, if they come out in support of TDP.
During his roadshow, Babu took potshots at opposition parties and promised an outer ring road for Nandyal. He added, ‘Nandyal should be made a seperate district and to make it possible, voters of Nandyal should give us a high majority.’
Babu, who made an attempt to appease SPY Reddy and his followers, said that he will not ignore his family. ‘Due to some internal reasons, we could not accommodate Nandyal seat to him. But, I will stand by their family. Soon after the polls, I will make Nandyal a seperate disty and we will work towards making it a smart city. Also, we will turn the agriculture College into an agriculture University.’
So, it remains to be seen if SPY Reddy will be ready to ditch Jana Sena, which gave him one MP and 3 MLA tickets to his family, to support TDP.
Telangana govt objects Polavaram Again!
The Government of Telangana which gave full consent to construction of Polavaram project, at the time of state bifurcation, has yet again approached Supreme Court to raise its objection. Representing Telangana government, the state General Administration Department principal secretary Ramakrishna Rao has filed an affidavit in apex court on Tuesday. This was in response to the petition filed by Senior Congress leader and Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy.
In its fresh attempt to stall Polavaram, Telangana government said that the design, which received an environmental clearance in 2005, is no where close to the current design. The design that got clearance was for 30 lakh cusecs, but it is not planned for 50 lakh cusecs. The KCR government made an appeal to Supreme Court to direct AP to take a fresh environmental clearance for the new design. While informing that AP govt is already utilising the Godavari water through Pattiseema project, Telangana government also appealed to allocate its share from Pattiseema. Also, in the affidavit, Govt demanded a national project like Polavaram for Telangana as well.
The Telangana state government also wanted Kaleshwaram, Palamuru-Rangareddy projects to be declared as national projects. Finally, the affidavit requested forb quick resolution of state division problems which are still pending. Though many committees are working on ground, several issues between two states are still left pending, alleged Telangana state.
