Friends Shock To Pawan Kalyan
A major blow seems to be awaiting to Pawan and his political outfit Janasena. PK, who has been pinning all his hopes on Communist parties CPI, CPM to forge a pre-poll alliance in order to contest jointly in the 2019 general elections, may suffer a setback as Communist parties may ditch him and may join hands with Chandrababu.National leaders of CPI, CPM are indicating that they would sail with Naidu to fight with Modi. The collaboration of CPM, CPI with TDP is expected to continue even in AP.
Adding more fuel to the ongoing speculations, CPM and CPI have voted for TDP’s Rajya Sabha MP CM Ramesh in the PAC member election. Unanimously, all opposition parties including Congress, CPI, CPM, TMC, NCP, DMK have all voted for Ramesh who won as the PAC member with highest majority. This is a clear indication that Opposition parties stand united against Modi and even contest together in 2019 to take on Modi & Co.
Pawan, who is harping on the support from Communist parties, is now forced to rethink his options for coalition politics. Political analysts too opine that Pawan cannot show any impact politically if his party contests alone. This is why he may has to focus on stitching the coalitions. On the other hand, he is yet to appoint the party incharges for the Assembly constituencies.
Breaking: Karunanidhi Is No More
It’s a black day for Tamil Nadu. Muthuvel Karunanidhi, popularly known as Kalaignar, breathed his last at the Kauvery Hospital in Chennai today at 6:10 pm after prolonged battle with old age related ailments. The 94-year-old DMK patriarch’s demise has left millions of his followers in deep sadness.
Karunanidhi holds the record for being an underrated MLA for 60 years. He was elected as an MLA for 13 times. He reigned Tamil Nadu as a Chief Minister 5 times. He made an indelible impact as a poet, screenwriter and political leader.
Why Should You Be Re-Elected?
When is a ruling Party reelected? When it has fulfilled the promises it made to the people or if it ushers in welfare schemes that make lives easier for the poor people.Chandrababu Naidu wants the people of Andhra Pradesh to elect him till 2050. For practical purposes, we shall consider 2019 only. What has he done for the people of the State so far?
Can he name one concrete achievement that has made people happy? Has he genuinely fulfilled even a single promise made in his election manifesto?The loan waiver promise turned out to be a total farce. Kapu reservation Bill was thrown into Parliament cleverly in the awareness that the Bill would not get constituional sanction.The unemployment allowance promised is yet to take shape even four years after coming to power.
On top of that, he has run away from Hyderabad to Amaravati after getting caught red-handed in the Stephenson case, leaving the Andhras in Hyderabad at the mercy of TRS.Leave aside, the promises made in the election manifesto. What about the SCS and the AP Reorganisation Act?
He threatened to put in jail the Andhras who demanded nothing short of SCS. Then after being forced to quit the NDA because of public resentment, he makes a U-Turn and says nothing short of SCS is acceptable.Has he been able to get a single promise made after bifurcation, fulfilled? No! Then why is he asking to be reelected? On what basis?
Even if reelected, if the BJP comes to power at the Centre again, what will he do? Will it not be the same scenario? Why can’t he produce UCs for Polavaram and get funds released immediately? What is there to hide?Chandrababu is a colossal and complete failure and has lost the confidence of the people completely. Persisting with him would be nothing short of suicide for the people of Andhra Pradesh.

To say that Samantha is one of the fittest heroines in the country is no exaggeration. Often, Sam shares some of her workout videos which leave their fans in awe. And here’s yet another example of Samantha’s unbelievable fitness levels.
Recently Samantha along with her friend and Tamil TV star come actress Ramya Subramanian climbed the Tirupati Hills by foot. Sam and Ramya pulled off the tough feat of climbing over 3500 steps within just two and a half hours. Needless to say that Sam-Ramya’s have left their fans inspired by throwing a major fitness goal.
On the work front, after scoring three super hits in the first half of 2018, Samantha is eagerly looking forward to the releases of three more films this year. A Telugu-Tamil bilingual titled U-Turn and the two Tamil flicks – Seema Raja and Super Deluxe, will be Samantha’s next releases this year.
TDP Leader Steals Goddess Saree!
The missing of a costly saree gifted by to the presiding deity of Goddess Kanaka Durga temple atop Indrakeeladri hill in Vijayawada has brought to light how political leaders do not spare even the gods from looting.A silk saree worth Rs 18,000 offered to Goddess Kanaka Durga by a devotee on Sunday was found missing.After a lot of hue and cry and an inquiry conducted by the temple authorities revealed that trust board member Kodela Surya Latha, said to be a TDP leader, was behind its disappearance of the saree.
According to reports, a close study of the CCTV footage clearly established that Surya Latha cleverly stole the saree after it was presented to the goddess.The incident brought a lot of embarrassment to TDP president and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu that he had summoned temple trust board chairman Yalamanchili Gauranga Babu and directed him to initiate a detailed inquiry and punish the guilty.
He reportedly expressed his displeasure over the way the Kanaka Durga temple has been made a centre of controversies with illegal activities by the trust members.Surya Latha sought to defend herself saying what she had taken was not the goddess saree, but another saree gifted by some devotees who visited Venugopala Swamy temple as they were impressed by the reception she had extended to them.Executive Officer Padma, who conducted the inquiry issued a show cause notice to Surya Latha and is expected to recommend for her sacking from the trust board, after taking her version.
YSRC To Oppose, TRS To Support NDA!
For quite some time, the YSR Congress party has been facing the allegations from the Telugu Desam Party of being a puppet in the hands of the Bharatiya Janata Party.Though the YSRC leaders have been denying the same, the TDP has been successful in sowing the seeds of suspicion in the minds of the people.
Now, the YSRC got an opportunity to prove that it is not a supporter of the BJP.
On Tuesday, YSRC parliamentary party leader and Rajya Sabha member V Vijay Sai Reddy announced that his party MPs would vote against the BJP/NDA candidate in the elections to Rajya Sabha deputy chairman post to be held on August 9.While the BJP is not contesting the elections directly, it has announced that Janata Dal (United) candidate Harivansh Narayan Singh would be contesting on behalf of the NDA. But Sai Reddy said the YSRC would vote against him, since the party felt the NDA government had betrayed the people of Andhra Pradesh by denying special category status.
This will largely help the YSRC to get out of the pro-BJP stigma. The party has already declared that there would be no alliances with any party in 2019 elections and that it will go alone in the polls.It would take a call on which party it would support in the post-poll scenario depending on the assurance on the special category status.On the other hand, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi has indicated that it might support the NDA candidate in the elections to RS deputy chairperson post.
The chief minister’s office issued a statement saying Bihar chief minister and JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar personally called Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar seeking support to his party candidate Harivansh Narayan.However, the chief minister said that he would take a decision after discussing with the party leaders. Indications are that the TRS MPs might vote for the JD (U) candidate or if possible, stay away from polling to avoid embarrassment.
