The outbreak of deadly Nipah Virus (NiV) in Kerala, which claimed over 10 lives, has triggered a panic situation in the neighbouring states. Besides the 10 people who died, nearly 20 people are showing the symptoms of Nipah that is worrying the governments.
Considering a high floating population between Kerala and Telangana, the state government of Telangana is taking special measures and setting up special wards in all major hospitals to deal with the deadly virus. So far, no cases of NiV have been reported in Telangana, but the state government is not taking any chances and called for a high level of surveillance.
Lini, a nurse who was taking care of Nipah virus affected patients in Kerala, affected with the disease and died of the infection. Her body was cremated with extreme urgency in order to prevent the further spread of the disease and even her family couldn’t pay due respect to her body.

Rare Moment: Anti-Modi Forces Share Same Dais
JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy took oath as the 24th chief minister of Karnataka this evening. The new CM’s swearing-in ceremony was a grand affair as all the who’s who of the Indian political spectrum, except of course the BJP, descended on same dais.
In a rare moment, more Indian political leaders like Congress’ Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, SP’s Akhilesh Yadav, AP CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, CPI(M)’s Sitaram Yechury, NCP’s Sharad Pawar raised hands at the Vidhana Soudha, where Kumaraswamy took oath.
Almost all the leaders who took part in the swearing-in ceremony are in an effort to unite against the Narendra Modi-led BJP government in the centre. Interestingly, most of these leaders have been political opponents since ages, but it looks like their detest for Modi has made them join hands and come under one roof for what seems to be a dramatic 2019.
Anasuya Turns Emotional With Fans Gift
Men love her, women envy her, directors praise her, fans salute her and she is none other than Anasuya, the heartthrob of millions of Telugus.
From being an anchor to becoming a performing artiste in the films like Kshanam and Rangasthalam, she has made a mark for herself with her talent and hard work. We see many of her fans trying to woo her on twitter with their word play. She too is patient enough to reply to many.
Keeping that aside, now we are talking about a talented painter who has become a hardcore fan of Anasuya. He is Anish Penti, a Fine Arts student who also worked in the art department of Mahanati recently. Anasuya’s cousin Vaishnavi Khasba took a painting of Anasuya drawn by Anish Penti to gift her on her birthday. Anasuya received the painting and moved emotionally, as per sources.
The inscription on the painting is “Ammaloni Kammadanam Nuvvu”. This speaks how respectfully Anish Penti adores Anasuya. Yes Anasuya! you are lucky to have fans like these and we are lucky to have you.
TDP Is Second Richest Regional Party In India
No other regional political party in India is as stronger as AP CM Chandrababu led Telugudesam Party when it comes to yearly revenues. In what is being seen as a shocker by analysts, the party fetched an income of 73 crores for the financial year 2016-17 while it made only 16 crores in 2015-16.
A report released by Association of Democratic Rights (ADR) on Tuesday revealed the income and expenditure of regional parties. While Samajwadi Party has earned 82 crores, TDP stood second to it with 73 crores income. What is more wondering is that almost 60 crores of Telugudesam party’s income have come through party membership fee, while rest money is by voluntary donations.
As per the audit report submitted to Election Commission, TDP mentioned that Ambica Agarbathi group is their biggest donor. If we look at other regional parties pertaining to Telugu state, TRS has shown a downward trend as their income is 3.79 crores this financial year against 8+ crores last year. MIM has an income of Rs 7.4 crore.
While all the above parties are spending only 30-40% of their income, it is YSR Congress party whose spendings are pretty high while their earnings for last financial year are close 94 lakhs only.
Kumaraswamy Ane Nenu…
Ending days of political drama, Kumaraswamy sworn in as the new chief minister of the Karnataka. Kumaraswamy was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Vajubhai Vala at a grand ceremony in the Vidhana Soudha complex, the seat of power in Bengaluru. The Governor also administered the oath to state Congress chief and prominent Dalit leader G Parameshwara as the deputy chief minister.
Other members of the council of ministers will be inducted after the Kumaraswamy government wins the Confidence of Motion on Friday. Dressed in the traditional “dhoti” and white shirt, Kumaraswamy took the oath in the name of God and the people of “Kannada Nadu”.
Heavyweights Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, and Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, BSP chief Mayawati, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav, NCP leader Sharad Pawar, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury, CPI leader Suravaram and socialist leader Sharad Yadav have attended.
The show of strength by a galaxy of national leaders and regional satraps is being seen as a strong signal to the BJP about the possibility of formation of a broad-based front to take on the BJP-led NDA in the Lok Sabha polls next year.
Meanwhile, the BJP boycotted the ceremony and observed a “Black Day” during which it held statewide protests against the new coalition government, which it called “unholy”.
Family Hides Son’s Death From Dattanna Till Morning
Unexpected tragedy struck former union minister and BJP’s Secunderabad MP Bandaru Dattatreya. The politician’s 21-year-old son Vaishnav Bandaru died of heart attack last night. Vaishnav complained of severe pain in his heart while having dinner at 10:45 pm. He was immediately rushed to a hospital where he breathed his last at 12:30 am while undergoing treatment.
Dattanna, as Dattatreya is fondly called by everyone, is heartbroken over the sudden passing away of his young son. Apparently, family members didn’t inform Dattatreya about Vaishnav’s death till today morning.
Dattatreya was informed about son’s death only after he woke up this morning at around 5 am. Dattatreya is 70 years old and his family members didn’t want to reveal the tragic news, keeping his old age in mind. Vaishnav was a 3rd year MBBS student. His last rites will be performed this evening.
Vijay Sai Reddy Abuses Police!
Crossing all sorts of limits, A-2 Vijay Sai Reddy made serious and personal allegations against the police officials in Vizag who tried to stop YSRCP’s rally that doesn’t have a prior permission.
While YSRCP under the leadership of Vijay Sai Reddy attempted to do a rally against Chandrababu Naidu’s Dharma Porata Sabha that was held against the ‘Betrayal – Conspiracy Politics’ of the BJP. This is raising several eye balls as YSRCP is responding instead of BJP.
If this is not enough, YSRCP attempted to do ‘cleansing’ of the venue of Dharma Porata Sabha of Chandrababu. Learning about the YSRCP leaders plan, cops intervened timely and tried to stop the YSRCP leaders as it may lead to fight between two groups – YSRCP and TDP and may create a law and order situation. But countering cops, Vijay Sai Reddy made personal abuses and alleged police of acting in favour of the ruling TDP.
Alleging police of being biased, Vijay Sai Reddy told police through media, “First tear your uniform, take off the symbol of Lions (State Emblem) and go wear a yellow dress (TDP uniform) and work for them.”
These are very serious comments coming from a Rajya Sabha MP on government officials. Many are finding fault with the YSRCP leaders who are creating drama and unrest in Vizag to grab the attention of media and taking dig at the state government employees.
Meanwhile, many analysts are finding it difficult to understand the logic behind YSRCP countering TDP’s fight against the Centre. So, it is yet again proved that YSRCP is clearly acting as a B-team of BJP in Andhra Pradesh.
Mahanati proved everyone wrong
Before the release of Savitri’s biopic Mahanati, everyone in the industry, including the industry veterans, trade analysts and even movie buffs, predicted that the film may not collect beyond 20 crores.
They thought that a ‘different’ film like Mahanati may receive critical acclaim but the positive reviews will not transform into box office collections.
But Mahanati proved everyone wrong. Thanks to the stupendous word of mouth, movie buffs thronged Mahanati theaters in large numbers and made the film a humongous blockbuster. Starting from day one, Mahanati ran to houseful collections even on weekdays. With no new releases, Mahanati has had a fabulous second week at the box office.
On Monday, Mahanati entered the Rs 30 crore worldwide share club. The film collected over Rs 8 crore share in Nizam and pocketed Rs 2.25 crore in Uttarandhra. In the Ceded region, Mahanati collected Rs 1.7 crore share and another Rs 5 crores from the rest of the two Telugu states and Rest of India. In the USA, Mahanati has grossed nearly USD 2.33 million and is inching closer to the USD 2.5M milestone.
Mahanati’s Tamil version ‘Nadigaiyar Thilagam’ is performing quite well and collected nearly Rs 2 crore share. The film’s theatrical rights are valued at Rs 20 crore. While producer Ashwini Dutt had sold off the film’s rights to nominal rates in some areas, he has released the film on his own in many centres. With the satellite rights yet to be sold off, Ashwini Dutt is expected to pocket around Rs 15-20 crore profit in the end.

That Comedian Used Pawan, This One NTR
Surely comedians will click as heroes provided the fact that they are back by a good script and terrific writing. If that is not happening, then the dream of becoming a dependable hero will be a nightmare.
Though Sunil has burnt hands big time in the recent years, few other comedians who have lesser stardom than him are also trying their luck at becoming a hero. Firstly we got Saptagiri who has come up with the film “Saptagiri Express”. Not only he got Pawan Kalyan for the audio launch event, but also he used ‘mega’ references inside the film too. Yet, the film didn’t work at the box office.
Now we have Shakalaka Shankar also turning up the protagonist with the movie “Driver Ramudu”. A look at the trailer says that Shankar is imitating Senior NTR a lot and it seems like he wants to win the support of Nandamuri fans big time. Rather depending on content, if a wannabe hero depends on fans this way, will the film work at the box office?
In the past, no such film worked out, but we have to see if Shakalaka Shankar will achieve target while his fellow comedian Saptagiri failed to do so.
