A man with intellectual honesty – Manohar Parrikar
It is a sad day today as we lost one of the most clever and loyal politicians of India, Manohar Parrikar. He died today after battling with pancreatic cancer for more than a year.
He wanted to serve Goa till his last breath and he indeed worked till today morning. He served as Goa’s Chief Minister for four times. Renowned politicians like Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, KCR, Kumaraswamy, Rahul Gandhi, and Ram Nath Kovind expressed their condolences on social media.
Here are a few things we need to know about Manohar:
1. He first joined RSS as pracharak and even since the beginning of his career, he was eminently known for his clean image in politics.
2. He was an IIT graduate in metallurgical engineering and the first IIT alumnus to enter the state legislature.
3. He was one of the first members among the BJP party in Goa, with just four members in the assembly.
4. He is known for extreme simplicity and often travels on his scooter. His lifestyle has been inspired by many.
5. He is one of the successful and hardworking Chief ministers and the fact that he worked for 16-18 hours a day is one of his exceptional traits.
6. In a wide spectrum of politicians, Manohar is the most down-to-earth leader ever. He is known for speaking his mind at any given moment.
7. He has a trademark attire of wearing a half-sleeved shirt and leather chappals. Also, he has faced criticism and been mocked for wearing simple footwear while inspecting the guard of honour back in 2015.
The country has lost a man with magnetic leadership qualities today. His honesty, competence and integrity are unparalleled and May his soul rest his peace.
Goa CM Manohar Parikkar is no more!
The four time Chief Minister and senior leader of Bharatiya Janata Party, Manohar Parikkar (63) died on Sunday evening at his residence in Dona Paula. Parikkar is the first IITian to become a state CM in India. He suffered a prolonged illness and undergone treatment for pancreatic cancer last year. On 30th February 2019, Manohar Parikkar presented the state budget in Goa assembly and got admitted to AIIMS the following day.
His death is a major loss to Bharatiya Janata Party in Goa. Parikkar, a tall leader of BJP, was one of the few personalities who proposed Narendra Modi’s candidature for Prime Minister. He also served as Defence Minister in Narendra Modi’s government. He is known for his ‘extraordinary performance’ for any role given to him.
Parikkar’s wife Medha Parrikar also passed away some twelve years ago and he is survived by two sons.
RGV to move court on CBFC ‘pre-censoring’ his film
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma is planning to move court against the Central Board of Film Certification after it refused to accept his application to watch the movie ‘Lakshmi’s NTR’ for approval citing the election model code of conduct (MCC).
The film based on Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao’s second marriage with Lakshmi Parvathi and subsequent developments, was scheduled to be released on March 22.
The director on Sunday tweeted that he had received a letter from CBFC informing him that his application to view the film for certification cannot be processed till the first phase of elections on March 11 as the movie attracts provisions of the model code of conduct.
The CBFC pointed out that, as per the model code, parties and candidates will have to refrain from criticism of all aspects of private life, and criticism of other parties or their workers, based on unverified allegations or distortion.
“The CBFC has no authority or power to postpone processing of the film on the ground of model code of conduct even before viewing the film,” said Varma.
He said this amounts to blatant pre-censorship, which was a violation of the fundamental right of Freedom of Expression under Article 19 of the Constitution.
Last week, a TDP worker had urged the Election Commission to stop the release of “Lakshmi’s NTR” on the ground that this could impact the coming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh.
The petitioner complained the film has portrayed TDP President and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in a negative light, which could influence voters, and demanded that the film’s release be stopped till April 11.
Five Films On The Way From Talented Comedian
Comedian Sunil has grown to a greater height in a very short time, thanks to his West Godavari slang, which made him a super hit comedian of the present era Tollywood. Then, he thought of checking luck as a hero but it didn’t go well except on a couple of occasions.
Now that Sunil is back to doing full-time comedian roles, many wondered if he will get a break again. As the likes of Vennela Kishore and Srinivasa Reddy are dominating big time, the situation is not a cakewalk for the proven comedian this time. But the actor is hopeful that his upcoming films will give him all the advantage and dominance he needs.
Though his role in Aravinda Sametha disappointed all, now we have him doing ultimate comedy in upcoming film Chitralahari. And at the same time, Sunil has Raviteja and VI Anand movie in hand, which will be seeing him do a big comedy act. Then in Allu Arjun and Trivikram’s movie, he is going to broke audiences into huge laughter as his friend is bringing that vintage Sunil back.
Apart from these three films, Sunil is doing two other movies with medium budgeted heroes and all these five are going to give a masterstroke to his career, he hopes.
Will KCR contest LS polls or not?
As the Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao is getting ready to announce the list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections, suspense prevails over whether KCR himself will contest the elections or not.
According to party sources, KCR has kept his cards close to his chest on his decision on contesting the Lok Sabha elections.
A section of party leaders say he would definitely contest the elections and announce his decision to play a major role in the national politics.
“In all probability, he will contest from Medak parliamentary constituency. Otherwise, he will shift to Nalgonda. He will campaign not only in Telangana, but also in states like Uttar Pradesh and Odisha, to propagate the concept of federal front,” a party leader said.
If KCR announces his decision to contest, it will send a clear signal that he is going to anoint his son and TRS working president K T Rama Rao as the next chief minister of Telangana.
But, there is another speculation doing rounds in the party circles. According to it, the TRS president will not contest the Lok Sabha elections at present, but will wait for the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections in May.
If the BJP and Congress fail to get adequate numbers and regional parties make it big in the elections, KCR will make one of his party MPs to resign and then contest the LS polls again, so that he would play a bigger role in the national politics. If necessary, he would pitch himself in as the Prime Ministerial candidate as well.
But, if the BJP returns to power for a second term, or a Congress-led coalition manages to wrest power, KCR will not look at Delhi but will remain as the chief minister for the next five years.
“But if the NDA falls short of majority and seeks the TRS support, then KCR might consider going to Delhi and join the Centre as Union minister. Otherwise, he will make his daughter Kavitha as the Union minister, while he continues as the chief minister,” party sources said.
