As someone who has had to face life’s challenges and overcome difficulties of living in a remote village of Andhra Pradesh, he went abroad for his higher education and later, settled in Europe for a few years will a comfortable life there. However, his heart was in his state and he came back to Andhra Pradesh to work for the state. Lalam Joginayudu is an inspiration to all those people abroad who want to come back to their country and work for the nation.

As someone who has been working in Jana Sena ever since his return to India, Joginayudu was elevated as a Convener of President Leadership program that Jana Sena Founder Pawan Kalyan had started. Apparently, Jana Sena cadre is very happy with Joginayudu’s appointment as he will continue to be a source of inspiration for many youngsters who want to take part in politics.

Speaking at the event, Pawan Kalyan said that the party is very fortunate to have youngsters at the helm and that Joginayudu is a shining example of what NRIs and Indians living abroad can do for their country. He also appealed to Indian students abroad to actively take part in state politics or serving society. The Jana Sena President added that Indian politics needs to undergo major transformation and that can happen if the youth show interest in taking charge.

With Joginayudu’s appointment, looks like many more youngsters will get inspired to be a part of politics in India and that is definitely a good start!

Reiterating his government’s stand on the immigration policy, US President Donald Trump said that he would be happy to see immigrants entering US legally. The official transcript of his speech at ‘State of the Union’ Annual address said: “I want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally.” These comments have contradicted his government’s stand on immigration policy.

In the past, Donald Trump ordered for a 40% cut in legal immigration and also passed orders to send back thousands of legal foreigners from the nations hit by war and natural disasters. On that note, the latest statement by Donald Trump has given a new ray of hope for Indian IT employees. On other hand, to curb the illegal entry of people from other nations, Trump said he will finish the building of US-Mexico border wall at any cost.

He further stated that US must take the duty to protect its citizens, legal immigrants and their jobs with a potential immigration policy. For having secured a seat in a fake University, around 129 Indian students were detained in US and sent out a caution to illegal immigrants over the unlawful presence in United States.

Sounding the poll bugle at Tirupati today, YSR Congress President Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy said that the upcoming Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh are not only about our fight against TDP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu but also the deadly “Yellow media” (a word coined for pro-TDP media). Talking at the YSRCP’s new campaign ‘Samara Sankharavam’, he asked all his party cadre to be alert and ensure that voters cast their votes and “do not trust all the news that the Yellow media propagates.”

Coming down heavily on the TDP Chief, Jagan said that the party cadre needs to give its best in these two months, ahead of the polls. This campaign of the YSRCP is believed to put an end to the Telugu Desam Party rule in the state, believe the party followers. Calling it a first-of-its-kind meeting, YSRCP Chief said that this is the first in the history of AP that a political party is holding a meeting which also includes booth level cadre.

Firing a salvo at the Telugu Desam Government and Chandrababu, Jagan said that “the Chief Minister has encouraged corruption and should work towards another movie titled ‘How to rob a State of its finances’ and also tell us the story of how to give take bribes in sand contracts and other governments contracts.”

Jagan also added that TDP government did not bother about DWCRA women in all these four and half years and now, it is offering poll baits. “Similarly, farmers, workers in the unorganised sector and BCs also have been trapped by TDP’s politricks,” he said, adding that the Budget presented in the AP Assembly is “half-budget” and that the TDP is not doing a good job, even by copying schemes.

After a pitched battle with Trinamul Congress chief and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned his attention on Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Modi will address a public meeting at Guntur on February 10. This will be the Prime Ministers first visit to Andhra Pradesh in close to two years and also after the TDP pulled out of the NDA.

Modi will visit the state again on February 16 to address another rally in the port city Visakhapatnam.

Needless to say, Modi will take Naidu to task during his visit to AP and expose Naidu’s bluff on his allegations that the Centre had done nothing for the state.

While explaining what the Centre has done in the last four years, Modi will definitely talk about Naidu’s corruption.

The TDP president has chosen February 11, a day after Modi’s rally in Guntur, to launch a counter-attack on Modi.

He will be sitting on a day-long deeksha in New Delhi, where he will question Modi’s indifferent attitude towards Andhra Pradesh, his witch-hunting of the TDP leaders and his collusion with the TDP’s political rivals.

So, the battle lines are drawn. While the BJP does not have much stakes in AP, but Modi’s only objective is to see that Naidu is defeated in the elections.

On the other hand, Naidu wants to gain maximum political mileage by blaming it on Modi for lack of implementation of his poll promises.

It is an open secret that Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has pulled his party out of the Bharatiya Janata Part-led National Democratic Alliance in April last, as he realised that the TDP would be on the losing side if he continued to sail with the NDA.

Reason: the people are angry with the Narendra Modi government for rejecting outright the demand for special category status and also not releasing necessary financial assistance to state, besides not fulfilling other promises made in AP Reorganisation Act.

But Telangana Congress campaign committee president and actress Vijayashanti has a different reasoning.

In a series of tweets, the actress-turned-politician said Naidu had left NDA because of Narendra Modi who had been ill-treating his allies in the NDA.

“TDP led by Shri Chandrababu opted out of NDA being unable to tolerate the domination of Shri Modi. But still after so many consequences, Shri Amit Shah still continuing to sing in praises of Shri Modi not caring about the alliances reflects their dictatorship (sic),” she observed.

Vijayashanti was referring to BJP national president Amit Shah’s comments in his speech the other day that “the coming Lok Sabha elections will be fought in between Modi and the opposition parties”.

She said: “A confidence that Shri Modi led BJP wins majority seats without any need of support from the NDA alliance parties is being heard in the words of Shri Amita Shah. All the senior leaders of that party went away as BJP was run around one single person like this”.

Vijayasanthi asked how Siva Sena is going to react on this. “It is to be seen about how Siva Sena reacts over the statement of Shri Amit Shah now”.
