Harish Rao, KTR challenge each other!

Share

The ruling TRS party is going with all guns for the Lok Sabha polls. Accordingly TRS working president KTR is touring all the Parliament segments in the state and on Friday, he visited Medak. In the public meeting which was also graced by Medak TRS MLAs and leaders, Siddipet MLA Harish Rao and KTR challenged each other.

Speaking first Harish Rao said, “For TRS, we have no competition with Congress or BJP or Telangana TDP. We have to compete with ourselves and our Karimnagar and Warangal Parliament candidates. Medak Parliament should get maximum majority and it will act like a gift to CM KCR. The oppositions have already lost way before the elections, so the people of Medak should vote for TRS.”

In counter, KTR said, “I completely agree with ‘Bava’ Harish Rao. The poll fight is within TRS party and I challenge him and leaders on the stage to prove their stamina by getting majority more than Karimnagar Parliament seat. But I will show my power at least by getting one vote more than Medak Parliament seat.”

TRS is eyeing 16 seats out of the 17 in Telangana. Harish Rao is also in contention for the Lower House.

Another media channel blacklisted by YSRCP

Share

It is a well-known fact in the Telugu states that ever since bifurcation, political parties have began cracking a whip on Telugu news channels. While TV9 and ABN had faced Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s (TRS) ire and crackdown for being anti-Telangana, Sakshi in AP has faced the heat from Telugu Desam Party.

Now, YSR Congress Party’s mouthpiece Sakshi is known to be run by the party president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy. YSRCP has already blacklisted Eenadu and Andhrajyoti media groups, along with TV5. Now, the party believes that another channel is wreaking havoc on its image in the state and hence, has decided to blacklist it from their list of media. TV5 is another channel which is said to have annoyed Jagan personally, with its negative stories on YSRCP. Apparently, 99TV which promotes and supports Jana Sena Party has made it to this list of media houses that need to be kept away by the YSRCP.

99TV, according to YSRCP leaders, has been airing anti-YSRCP and anti-Jagan stories which seem to have upset the party high command and hence, has taken this decision. Additionally, the party alleges that several Telugu Desam Party supporters and followers are using the clips from this channel to spread propaganda against Jagan. “TV5 reporters have been removed from YSRCP media group. Even 99TV is facing the same thing,” said a source from the party.

However, while Telugu Desam Party hasn’t banned any channel or media outlet, Sakshi media group’s journalists are barred from questioning in the party’s press conferences.

Parakala Prabhakar is a snake: Nagababu

Share

Opening up in an interview about Praja Rajyam Party, film actor Nagababu said that the party founded by his brother K. Chiranjeevi was aimed at providing social justice to people. “My brother wanted to use his popularity and image to do social service and enter public sphere as a leader,” expressed Nagababu, adding that he was misguided by several people who had then joined the party.

Revealing a few unknown facts, he said that the idea to set up Praja Rajyam came much before the 2009 elections. “We should have done it then only. But, unfortunately, we did it just a few months before the elections. This became a challenge for us as we did not have the time to build party cadre,” he said, adding that even the pressure from turncoat leaders from other parties led to the crumbling of the party.

Jana Sena Party, according to him, has been formed after learning from the mistakes of Praja Rajyam Party. “Kalyan babu (Pawan Kalyan) has been careful about who he takes into the party. He has learnt from the mistakes as he had seen the kind of people who brought Praja Rajyam down. Parakala Prabhakar who was a trusted person by Chiranjeevi garu, walked into a meeting and spoke ill of the party. That is why Kalyan Babu called him a covert,” said Nagababu, adding that “he is a snake in the form a human being.”

“Kalyan Babu is a nice man. Hence, he called Parakala garu covert. I speak my heart out and hence, he is a snake for me. He has betrayed his own party and walked out. What else would you call such people?,” he said. There were several instances in the past few years when Jana Sena Party founder Pawan Kalyan had criticised and opened up about former Advisor Communications to AP Government, Dr. Parakala Prabhakar, for deceiving his brother Chiranjeevi and misguiding him, eventually forcing him to merge the party with the Congress. “It was a forced decision and there was tremendous pressure on Chiranjeevi garu. He succumbed to it, left with no option,” expressed Nagababu.

MLA Ditched Reddy Brothers, Joins TRS!

Share

With the Lok Sabha polls in the offing, ruling TRS party has initiated the ‘Operation Akarsha’ in the Telangana. After Rega Kantha Rao and Athram Sakku, one more Congress MLA is on his way into the CAR party.

Nakrekal MLA Chirumarthi Lingaiah is prepping up himself to join TRS and accordingly met minister and incharge of Nalgonda district TRS, Jagadeesh Reddy and held negotiations. After meeting the minister, Lingaiah is said to have also met CM KCR at Pragathi Bhavan secretly.

This is not just a blow to Congress but also to Komati Reddy brothers as Lingaiah is a staunch follower of them. In the recent assembly elections, it was Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy who lobbied for Lingaiah’s ticket. With Lingaiah’s exit, the Congress is almost deserted in the Nalgonda district. It’s only Komati Reddy brothers, Jana Reddy and TPCC chief Uttam Kumar Reddy left in Nalgonda Congress.

The date of Lingaiah formally joining TRS is yet to be decided. TPCC and CLP are yet to react on Lingaiah’s move to TRS.

TRS is 3rd richest regional party in India: Survey

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is now the third richest regional party in India, revealed a survey by an NGO. The first and the richest regional party is Samajwadi Party, following by Tamilnadu’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), according to Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR).

According to ADR, Samajwadi Party has the highest income at Rs 47.19 crore, followed by the DMK with an income of Rs 35.75 crore and TRS with an income of Rs. 27.27 crore. The NGO took into account the income and expenditure of 37 regional political parties for the financial year 2017-18.

Therefore, the total income of the top three parties amounted to Rs. 110.21 crore which compromises 46.45 per cent of the total income of the 37 regional parties collectively. However, expenditure-wise Telugu Desam Party stood third in line, with Samajwadi Party and DMK again standing in first and second positions, respectively.

“SP and DMK also have the highest expenditure with Rs. 34.54 crore and Rs. 27.47 crore respectively. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is third in line with Rs 16.73 crore,” revealed the NGO. Meanwhile, in the financial year 2017-18, Samajwadi Party, DMK, TRS, BJP and Janata Dal (United) have recorded an “excess income over expenditure.”

AP Minister’s vote goes missing!

Share

The deletion and missing of votes in Andhra Pradesh took a forward step with AP minister reporting it. Minister NMD Farooq and his family members votes went missing and this has upset the minister.

Participating in the International Women’s Day in Kurnool, minister Farooq alleged that the missing of his vote is the conspiracy of YSR Congress party. “For decades I have been in politics and contested in elections eight times. If this is my situation, what is the position of common man? When I asked the officials, they replied that they had no clue about it,” said minister Farooq.

The minister also registered a complaint with AP state’s Election Commissioner and the latter assured that he would take serious action on missing of votes. Farooq said he would look into what sort of action will Election Commission take on missing of votes.

Lakshmi’s NTR Trailer 2: No Fooling Around, Direct Attack!

Share

Ram Gopal Varma likes to make controversial movies on political and social conspiracies.

However, he draws criticism for not sticking to the facts most of the time. But Lakhsmi’s NTR seems to be a movie where RGV didn’t mind to showcase the powerful people in bad light.

The second trailer of Lakshmi’s NTR drops a bigger bomb on Telugu Desam Party President and AP Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu as RGV didn’t fool around in telling his version of NTR’s story. This is NTR’s story in Lakshmi Parvathi’s point of view as the title suggests.

The trailer starts off with an NTR quote “Vaadu (CBN) Naa Pillalu Kalisi Nannu Champesaru.” That quote sums up the story and premise of Lakshmi’s NTR.

There are many scenes that show CBN plotting a conspiracy against NTR and snatching away the CM post from him. There are also scenes where NTR’s daughters abusing Lakshmi Parvathi in the trailer.

The first trailer itself hasn’t downplayed anything and the latest trailer is far more hard-hitting and could do potential damage to CBN’s image. This is RGV’s direct attack against CBN and NTR’s children.

As the film gets ready for release on March 22, the second trailer boosts the hype surrounding it.

Shivaji Raja launches attack on Naresh

Share

While the political battle is raising temperatures in both Telugu states, the MAA (Movie Artists Association) elections are also grabbing a lot of attention from everyone. Both the panels led by Naresh and Shivaji are locking horns with war of words. While the members in Naresh panel have accused MAA president Shivaji of misusing funds collected by organising various events, Shivaji’s team has freshly launched a serious attack on opponents.

Claiming that his panel members have not involved in any wrongdoings, Shivaji said he is reluctantly contesting this election. ‘I decided not to fight this election but everyone coerced me to be in the fray for this time. In the recent past, some people are making false allegations on me. If I fail to respond now, there is chance for everyone to assume them to be true,’ said Shivaji by adding, “Anyone who speak on media should get facts right before launching an accusation on us. I want people to vote for me based on the development activities I did.”

Reacting to the allegations made by Naresh, the senior actor Shivaji said: “When we have invited Chiranjeevi garu for a fundraising event, Naresh failed to turn up. But, I have managed to finish it with the encouragement of Srikanth.” The MAA President also explained how he was insulted by the general secretary Naresh on his birthday.

“We’ve made it a protocol in MAA to wish every member on his birthday. On my birthday, Naresh has phoned and said he will meet me. So, I went to Film Chamber and was anticipating for him. But, he made me wait for next few hours and did not turn up finally. In the meanwhile, Naresh has called another person and made some insulting comments,” said Shivaji. So, what did Naresh tell to that person?

According to Shivaji, Naresh commented: “Look how I made Shivaji Raja wait for on his birthday. That’s my level!” The teary eyed Shivaji Raja ended up saying: ‘I was not ready bear any further insults. So, my family members have advised me to stay away this time. With a view to continue development activities taken up in our tenure, I have decided to fight polls again.”

Arjun Reddy Pair Is Back?

Share

The emotional chemistry between Rowdy boy Vijay Devarakonda and Shalini Pandey was one of many things which helped Arjun Reddy gain a cult status. The film, which is now being remade into Tamil and Hindi, has made Vijay a superstar and Shalini Pandey- the darling of medium budget films.

Not just the emotional scenes between them, romantic episodes between both the actors has elevated the film to next level. Now, the news has it that the blockbuster pair is going to collaborate again. The film which is going to be directed by a newcomer will be bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers. According to our reports, Shalini Pandey and a Malayali beauty Malvika Mohanan have been finalized opposite Devarakonda.

Some reports suggest that the actor will be seen as a bike racer in the film which is yet to be announced. More details about this project will be revealed soon. Currently, Vijay is working on ‘Dear Comrade’ which has Rashmika Mandanna alongside him.

Bunny Accepting The Scripts Rejected By Other Stars?

Share

Stylish star Allu Arjun’s 20th film will be directed by Sukumar and very recently an official announcement is also made. However, stylish star fans are not convinced with Sukumar coming on board and worried about the film as per a sentiment.

And it’s because of Allu Arjun’s last outing ‘Naa Peru Surya’ which bombed big time at the box office. The film marked writer Vakkantham Vamsi’s directorial debut. Initially he pitched the script of ‘Naa Peru Surya’ to Young Tiger NTR. As the junior rejected the script, Vamsi approached Bunny and then went on to make the film. The rest is history.

Now with Sukumar’s film, initially the ‘Rangasthalam’ director planned to make the film with Mahesh Babu. With creative differences the project was called off and Sukumar reached out to his friend Bunny. Probably in the quickest time, Allu Arjun said ‘YES’ to Sukumar. Once again fans are in opinion that Allu Arjun is accepting films which were apparently rejected by other star heroes and they result might be the same of ‘Naa Peru Surya.’

However, it is yet to be known whether Sukumar has narrated Mahesh’s script to Allu Arjun or with a new one. We may not get answers for it but it all depends on #AA20’s result.

Happy to be surrounded by 4 strong women, says Vadra

Share

Ahead of his appearance on Friday before the ED for questioning in a money laundering case, Robert Vadra, Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s brother-in-law, extended International Women’s Day greetings, saying that he was surrounded by “four strong women”.

“Wishing all wonderful women, a Happy Women’s Day! I am happy to be surrounded by four strong women, ‘my mother (Maureen Vadra), my mother-in-law (Sonia Gandhi), my wife (Priyanka Gandhi) and my daughter (Miraya Vadra)’,” the businessman said in a Facebook post earlier in the day.

“The keywords to describe them are ‘hardworking, courageous, compassionate and determined.

“I will celebrate the day with them, once I am back from the ED interrogation… I have already deposed for 10 days for almost 64 hours, cooperating with the interrogations. I believe in truth and justice,” he added.

Vadra has been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate officials in connection with the case related to his ownership of overseas assets in London.

The ED officials said that Vadra arrived at the agency’s office at 10.40 a.m.

Vadra, husband of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, is on interim bail till March 19.

Vadra had also deposed before the ED twice in Jaipur in connection with another money-laundering case related to an alleged land scam in Bikaner. His mother Maureen, too, was questioned by the agency once during the same deposition.

Jagan bans yet another yellow media!

Share

Whether one agrees or not, it is an undeniable fact that the Telugu media in Andhra Pradesh is vertically divided based on their political affiliations.

While it is obvious that Sakshi media house is affiliated to the YSR Congress party because it is promoted by party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, the other media houses like Eenadu and Andhra Jyothy media groups, besides other electronic media like TV5 and NTV are openly supporting the Telugu Desam Party headed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, though they are not promoted by the party leaders.

There is also a channel – 99TV, which promotes Jana Sena Party chief and actor Pawan Kalyan and it is confined to telecasting his party activities.

So, TDP patronises the channels which give a lot of coverage to the party programmes and slings mud at the YSR Congress party and the Bharatiya Janata Party. That is why, they are being branded as yellow media.

While some of these yellow media houses still try to project themselves as impartial by giving at least some coverage to the rival parties, there are a couple of channels like ABN Andhra Jyothy and TV5, which do not hide their loyalty to the TDP and Naidu.

During the so-called debates, these channels openly try to run down the YSRC and BJP.

Vexed with their attitude, the YSRC on Friday issued a statement saying it is banning TV5 channel.

“This channel is blatantly promoting the TDP and its activities. Therefore, we have decided not to send any of our party leaders to attend the debates and discussions conducted by this channel. The channel has been banned to cover any of our party programmes and press meets. We want the channel management not to invite our party leaders to the debates,” the statement said.

The party has taken the decision to this effect only to expose the yellow media which is getting away with its pro-TDP programmes in the name of freedom of press.

“We have already banned ABN-Andhra Jyothy for the same reason,” the statement said.

Interestingly, the numbers of TV5 correspondents have been removed instantly from the YSRC’s WhatsApp media groups.

The TDP, too, has been adopting the same stand. Though Naidu has not banned Sakshi reporters, he will not allow them to raise any questions doing the press conferences and shouts them down!

KGF Director and Mahesh Combo? A Stunt!

Share

There is overdose of updates about Mahesh Babu in the last few days. Still, his team is not getting tired of feeding more news about the superstar.

After Sukumar leaving Mahesh Babu’s movie for Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu’s team is bringing several directors to the superstar for further collaborations.

It is said that Prasanth Neel of Kannada blockbuster “KGF” recently flew down from Bangalore to Hyderabad to meet Namrata, Mahesh Babu’s wife who deals all his business affairs and sets new projects and brands. This is really strange. How would Prasanth Neel’s style of making suits Mahesh Babu’s persona?

Prasanth Neel in his debut movie proved that he makes “oora mass” movies. In “KGF”, every scene looks like a hero-introduction sequence.

“KGF” received mixed reviews; it won thumbs up for its technical qualities and got thumbs down for clichéd storyline. While some sequences gave high, it became repetitive after a point.

As some critic pointed out, Prasanth Neel’s direction in “KGF” is more like polished version of Boyapati Srinu’s narration – full of oora mass but high technical standards.

Mahesh Babu is more of a classy star. People will not accept him if he goes overboard in mass action entertainers.

Classic example is Sreenu Vaitla’s “Aagadu”. This collaboration of Prasanth Neel and Mahesh Babu is nothing but just a publicity stunt to drive away the focus from recent Sukumar’s fiasco.

No wonder then that Babu’s PRO’s are spreading such gossips!

Mahesh Babu has given his nod to Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Vanga. There is also possible collaboration with Rajamouli. What will happen to those projects?

Sri Reddy in Megastar’s Camp Now!

Share

Sri Reddy hates Pawan Kalyan. If you check her Facebook timeline, you will not miss of noticing at least one post daily from her against Jana Sena or Pawan Kalyan. She hates him to the core for reasons best known to her.

She also threw ‘M’ bomb against Pawan Kalyan last year when casting couch controversy was full on rage and the star did huge ruckus against the TV channels for telecasting such words aimed at him.

The controversy had died down but she is still targeting him regularly on the social media.

Given this scenario, it is amusing to see Sri Reddy supporting Shivaji Raja and his panel in the elections of Maa Association that are scheduled for this Sunday.

It is open secret that Shivaji Raja and Srikanth are close to Megastar Chiranjeevi and he is behind this panel.

Actor Naresh and his panel members are dead against Chiru group and they are competing against Shivaji Raja panel.

But Sri Reddy is posting comments against Naresh and Jeevitha and lending full support to Shivaji Raja.

She also is requesting MAA members not to vote for “lady suppliers”.

She slammed Naresh saying that he went bald but he didn’t get maturity enough.

“Vandala cr of properties, pedha pedha costly carlu, banglowlu vunna meku, ippatidaka maa association lo post velagapettaru, ye roju aina 10 rupees ichara old aristlu road midhakochinapudu gani, maa associationki gani naresh garu?? padavi kavali, seva sunna.. Gundu medha ventrukaltho patu budhi kuda pothondhi e pedha manishiki..,” she posted against Naresh.

She didn’t spare Jeevitha either.

She posted, “Aadavari “Jivitha”latho aadukune surpanaka laki, rakshasuluku vote ni veyakandi.. nara(naresham) rupa rakshasulu chuttu vunnaru jagratha @movie artist association..”
