Being an accomplished actress before foraying into politics, Roja has the knack of taking movie references to make her political speeches more rhetoric.

In yet another instance of taking potshots at TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu, the YSRCP Nagari MLA has called him Bhallaladeva of Baahubali series. If Babu is Bhalla, who is Baahubali? easy to guess rights? Its YCP Chief, YS Jagan. Well, there are two Baahubalis rights? Amarendra and Mahendra?

Roja said that late YSR is big Baahubali and Jagan is small Baahubali. She further alleged that Babu aka Bhalla has always played tricks to overpower both YSR and Jagan and that he will be facing humiliating defeat in the upcoming 2019 elections.

She even called Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Sivagami. Wouldn’t it have been a complete Political Baahubali if she named who Kattappa and Devasena were?

Telugu film hero and Jana Sena Leader Pawan Kalyan seems desperate to strengthen his political outfit in Telagana state particularly in the districts where Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is maintaining strong political hold.

After receiving good response to the party in the camps conducted for the enrollment of full time party workers in Greater Hyderabad limits,  Pawan’s party announced schedule to hold camps in Adilabad and Karimnagar districts where the TRS was strong enough.

As per the schedule, Jana Sena will organise camps in Adilabad on June 24 and on June 25 in Karimangar. Those who interested to join as party workers, the must submit applications on online on e day prior to the meetings in teh two districts.

The TRS won majority seats in the two districts in 2014 elections. In the recent times, many TDP and Congress leaders also joined TRS impressed by the chief minster’s governance.

Bringing down the curtains on the months-long speculations, AP CM and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu has announced the party candidate for the by-election in Nandyala Assembly constituency. Bhuma Brahmananda Reddy, the son of Bhuma Nagireddy’s elder brother Sekhar Reddy, has been named as the party candidate for upcoming bypoll in Nandyala.

The decision has been made after TDP’s constituency incharge Shilpa Mohan Reddy, who earlier contested on TDP ticket in 2014, has switched his loyalties to YSR Congress. Amidst reports that Shilpa would be fielded from YSRCP, TDP has announced Bhuma Brahmanda Reddy as its candidate.

Brahmanada Reddy has spoken to media soon after the announcement came. Expressing his gratitude to his uncle Bhuma Nagi Reddy and aunt Shobha Nagi Reddy, Brahmananda Reddy said that development of Nandyala and fulfilling of promises made by Bhuma Nagi Reddy for Nandyala people top the agenda. Responding to a question over Shilpa leaving the TDP, Brahmanda Reddy said that it has no affect on party as several senior leaders like SPY Reddy, AV Subba Reddy, Farooq are in TDP and he added that most importantly the people of Nandyala are with TDP.

Meanwhile, TDP has appealed to the opposition parties not to contest by-election to make it unanimous election. If a by-election is facilitated with the death of its sitting MLA, the practice has been to elect a member from the bereaved family. However, considering special conditions, looks like YSRCP is likely to filed its candidate for the election since technically Bhuma won on YSRCP ticket and later joined the ruling TDP.

The mystery over death of beautician Sirisha and Kukunoorpally SI Prabhakar Reddy is only growing bigger with every passing day. While the family members of Sirisha defend her by saying ‘she did not go to SI quarters on that day, as said by policemen’, Kukunoorpally villagers have staged a dharna outside the police station.

Sirisha’s family members and villagers further alleged that policemen are misguiding the investigation, and they posed a suspicion over injuries on her body. Also, her uncle questioned officials to put out the CCTV footage of Sirisha to prove that she had been police quarters on that day.

Since the WhatsApp location shared by Sirisha is not exactly police quarters, they pose a serious suspicion that she was harshly assaulted and assassinated at a resort near to Hyderabad. Moreover, their family members pointed out that investigation officers are wrongly notifying to media, people and misguiding the case.

Considering the demand from family members and villagers for detailed probe against the men involved, officials are expected to bring a quick-end to this case. The situation is indirectly forcing police slueths to wrap the enquiry swiftly and come up with their investigation results.

The Telugu Desam Party has upped the ante against the sacked Brahmin Welfare Corporation chairman and the former Chief Secretary IYR Krishna Rao. Narasaraopet MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao has leveled serious allegations against Krishna Rao. He alleged that Krishna Rao had even opposed the setting up of capital region in Guntur’s Amaravati as he has bought land worth 1000s of Crores in Donakonda of Prakasam district.

Rayapati had claimed that Krishna Rao had written a letter to Union Home Ministry to set up capital in Donakonda of Prakasam district. Rayapati said that he had then complained the matter to AP CM Chandrababu Naidu.

Krishna Rao was recently sacked from the post of Brahmin Welfare Corporation chairman after he reportedly criticised the TDP government on social media platforms. The state government has taken the issue seriously as he had made those remarks when he was in the official post nominated by the same government.

Belonging to the 1979 batch of Indian Administrative Service, Krishna Rao retired as the Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh State. Even though he was retired, the state government nominated him with a post and hence Naidu is said to be upset with Krishna Rao’s behaviour and ingratitude.

This apart, what has made Naidu more angry is Krishna Rao’s closeness with YSR Congress party leaders, MLAs with whom he is meeting often and talking their language against the state govt. These said to had resulted in the axing of IYR.

Meanwhile, IYR is yet to revert to the allegations made by Rayapati.

Telangana Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister K Srihari warned of stringent action against teachers and officials who carry cell phones in government schools in the state.

The minister said several complaints were received that teachers were using smart phones in class rooms during school hours and created nuisance in teaching the students. This growing menace also impacted the results in the public exams, he observed.

Srihari said his department also received complaints that teachers were neglecting their duties in many government schools. As a result, drop out rates also increased in the recent times. Government is framing strict rules to run the schools without any hassles in the future.
