Telangana Cong: Mind your tongue, Mr KCR!

Share

uttam11488111418

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) has upped the ante against Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who had described the Congress leaders as “sannasulu” and “fools.”

TPCC president Capt N. Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that KCR was indulging in verbal attack on the opponents with choicest abuses only because he had become arrogant with power. He accused KCR and his family of robbing the wealth of Telangana through dubious means.

The TPCC chief said that KCR had stooped down to the lowest level in targeting the opposition parties and its leaders to justify his wrong actions.

He said that donation of gold ornaments worth more than Rs. 6 crore to various temples from the Common Good Fund was totally illegal and the Congress party has rightly condemned the decision.

He asked whether it was appropriate for the Chief Minister to donate crores of rupees from the public exchequer while keeping the Fee Reimbursement dues pending.

Uttam Kumar Reddy said that except for luring legislators of opposition parties with money and posts, KCR did nothing during his 30 month rule.

He said nearly Rs. 60,000 crore of loans were procured in the name of irrigation projects. TRS Government’s prime activity so far remained focussed on taking loans and seeking commissions from contractors.

He alleged that the KCR family has been robbing Telangana of its wealth since it came to power in 2014.

He said not a single unit of power was generated by the TRS Government and all the projects which are now being commissioned were started during Congress regime.

The news that Akhil and Shriya Bhupal have called off their engagement went viral. Almost all media outlets published the news in detail. In the age of social media, it is not easy to contain any news spilling out.

Yet, Nagarjuna has not made any comment about these reports. Neither he denied nor he confirmed them. Generally he responds to any speculations about his life and career.

When Telugu media reported that Dil Raju is planning a movie with Nagarjuna, he immediately took to twitter to deny this.

He also responded about the reports of love relationship of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. But the star is now keeping mum on Akhil and Shriya Bhupal’s call off of the marriage.

Reliable sources say he is very cautious about this whole matter. He is hoping that both his son Akhil and Shriya bury their differences and patch up again. Till he is sure of that there is no possibility of patching up, he would not make any comment.

As a father, he is hoping that the young couple may rethink about their decision after dust settles down.

So, this is the reason why Nagarjuna is not making any public statement about this.

Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has denied reports that he didn’t want to work with actress Kangana Ranaut in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.

The superstar was expected to share screen space with Kangana. But he reportedly refused to do that.

Asked about it, the “Raees” star told reporters: “Don’t believe what you read online.”

Shah Rukh was honoured with the fourth Yash Chopra National Memorial Award here on Saturday.

The award has been instituted by the philanthropist T. Subbarami Reddy, in association with Anu Ranjan (President, The Indian Television Academy) and Shashi Ranjan (Chairman, Managing Director, ITA School of Performing Arts), in the memory of the late filmmaker Yash Chopra, whose movies like “Jab Tak Hai Jaan” and “Dil To Pagal Hai” starred SRK.

When will the audience see Shah Rukh in a Yash Raj project?

“I’ve no idea. There is no discussion on a film right now,” said the actor.

“Working with Yashji was very personal. I don’t think I am able to express it. I have worked with him for 20 years…

“Right from the time I came here and then we lost him as we walked along the path. Being part of his last shot and his last film… it is very emotional for me,” he added.

“He was honest, straightforward and a basic person. Simplicity made him extremely special.”

Shah Rukh’s banner Red Chillies Entertainment is currently co-producing the remake of Yash Chopra’s murder mystery “Ittefaq”, which released in 1969.

SRK, also a producer, said he wanted to do the film but couldn’t due to “date problem”.

“The team … involved with the film are fantastic,” he said.

“Ittefaq”, which will feature Sonakshi Sinha and Sidharth Malhotra, is being directed by Abhay Chopra.

Hari Krishna's Surprise Entry

Nandamuri Hari Krishna has shocked TDP’s senior leaders by making a surprise entry for TDP’s politburo meeting. AP CM and TDP president Chandrababu Naidu has convened for a high-level politburo meeting on Sunday to discuss on the upcoming MLC elections.

Hari Krishna, who has been staying away from party functioning and been inactive for long, turned heads by turning up to the meeting. While the party is sure of winning 5 seats, the party is mulling over whether to field its candidate for the sixth seat or not.

Also unlike before, the competition for MLC nominations is heavy within the party as many senior leaders, who lost to win Assembly elections, or who haven’t contested due to lack of seats or who have lost on YSRCP and later joined TDP, are all pinning hopes on getting MLC nomination.

Hari Krishna’s sudden presence at the politburo meeting is inviting a lot of speculation as it has to be seen whether Hari Krishna is expecting any nomination to his close aides. Hari Krishna has been maintaining distance from party activities after he quit as Rajya Sabha member in Lok Sabha in protest against the bifurcation of the state. Also he has expressed his dissatisfaction on Naidu openly a couple of times in media.

Amidst several rumours that Hari Krishna along with Jr NTR is closely in touch with Opposition leader YS Jagan, his attendance to TDP politburo has shocked everyone.

TDP National Committee President Chandrababu Naidu had reportedly agreed to allot one MLC seat to his son and party national General Secretary N Lokesh in the biennial elections to be held in March in Andhra Pradesh.

The politburo meeting forwarded the proposal to give MLC post to Lokesh before elevating him as minister in Naidu’s cabinet. Initially, the party Chief did not accept the proposal on the grounds that several senior leaders are vying for MLC post in the Legislative Council. However, the leaders convinced Naidu at the end of the meeting.

party leaders have been insisting the chief minister to rope Lokesh into the state administration in view of increased work pressure on Naidu since months. Speculations are doing rounds that Lokesh will be inducted in the cabinet on Ugadi festival and be given IT and Municipal Administration and Industry portfolios to the young leader in the party.

Bullets Can't Stop Indians from Fulfilling US Dream

1488050583-1029

The shocking and gruesome killing of Telugu techie Srinivas Kuchibotla has shook NRIs living abroad and Indian techies who’re aspiring to visit US and thus fulfill their America Dream.

While many say that such incidents feel them insecure yet they quickly add that it’s not easy to give up the ‘American Dream’. And one of the main reasons is the fat salary income that is earned by techies in US.

For instance, a techie in India with 10 years of work experience draws between Rs 12-20 lakh annually, whereas the same stands anywhere upwards of Rs 50-60 lakh per annum in the US. And since it’s almost 5 times higher, Indian techies say such incidents can’t deter many of them going to US.

Such unfortunate incidents aren’t new. They have been there for a while. And if statistics are considered, the number of professionals and students who left to US from the Telugu states have drastically increased with no decline.

Now it’s turn of Indian foreign ministry to hold talks with US embassy and see to it that the Indians in US, other countries are safe and treated well. Given that Trump had earlier stated he loves Indians, if PM Modi intervenes, US President Trump may respond positively in the matter.

Actress Talks About Fight With Prabhas

Affectionately called by his fans and industry people alike as ‘Darling’, Prabhas is described by everyone as a reserved, humble and  fun loving person who doesnt get into bad books of anyone. However, bold bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut differs with this.

It may be noted that Kangana paired opposite Prabhas in Puri Jagannath’s ‘Ek Niranjan’ (2009). Almost eight years later, Kangana recollected her chirpy fights with Prabhas on the film’s sets.

Talking to a noted Telugu TV channel as part of promotions of her latest release ‘Rangoon’, Kangana said that she and Prabhas used to fight a lot on the sets of ‘Ek Niranjan’. ‘Once we had a so big fight that we stopped talking to each other for a long time,’ she added.

‘Then I saw Baahubali in which he has done so well. I am proud of his achievements. I hope he is proud of mine too,’ added the unfiltered actress.

Interim, ‘Rangoon’ hit screens on February 24. Despite the Maha Sivarathri holiday and rave reviews, the film’s box office performance is largely disappointing, as per trade reports.

Pawan Kalyan himself might have dismissed of him having any ambitions to come to power and might have openly stated that coming to power isn’t his political goal, yet that didn’t deter his elder brother Nagababu to predict of Pawan coming to power in 2019.

“As an voter I believe Pawan Kalyan Will come to power in 2019. Honest people like Pawan Kalyan need to come to power. He has never taken money from anyone and in fact he had lost his money for others. Yes to run political party, one needs money. That’s why Pawan Kalyan is acting in films for money,” Nagababu said in a TV interview.

Meanwhile, taking many by surprise, Nagababu lashed out at CM Chandrababu Naidu and his government in AP. “Beyond saying that they’re building capital in Amaravati, had they done anything or are they doing anything? If so, please tell us. Allegations of corruption are rife. Development isn’t seen much. Power is being misused,” Nagababu expressed his angst against TDP government saying that he has 100 percent dissatisfaction on the incumbent government in AP.

Nagababu’s latest and severe remarks on TDP government are seen as serious comments. One has to wait and see how TDP leaders would take it and respond to them. On other hand, Pawan Kalyan continues to maintain his silence over AP government. Although Pawan had openly hit out at BJP a few times, Pawan didn’t criticise TDP much and he only cautioned the state government to fulfill the promises.

A Cuss Word And Sex Position Did The Job

“Arjun Reddy” is the latest film of Yevade Subramanyam and Pelli Choopulu fame Vijaya Sai Devarakonda. Within no time the teaser of the film was released, the film got huge hype and business is speaking big numbers now.

If we have to go by the teaser of the film, what catches any one’s attention is that cuss word first. Then we have the hero pulling heroine towards him very desperately and also kissing her. M****d is one cuss word that opens the character of the hero, while he’s seen pulling a girl as if they are doing a table top sex scene (all clothed, however) is a shot that stunned many. These two things have alarmed for the kind of bold content they are, though one has to see if Censor Board will give approval for them or not.

In the recent times, no film got such cuss words or scenes approved by the Board and only for YouTube a teaser/trailer sans the Censor Certificate could be released this way. Cashing on that, Arjun Reddy did amazingly well thereby creating terrific interest among audiences. If this is followed by some interesting content inside, surely the film will work at the box office as well. Already distributors are gearing up for the producer’s office to own the rights.

Directed by newcomer Sandeep Reddy, the film has Vijaya Sai Devarakonda in the lead while Telugu model Shalini Vadlamani is debuting as a heroine.

Can Babu Satisfy All?

babu-3

AP CM and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is in a tight spot as there’s a stiff competition among the leaders of the party for MLC seats in the upcoming MLC elections. As MLC elections are going to be held in AP for 21 seats, several senior leaders are vying up to bag the opportunity. While two seats would be nominated directly, the competition is for the remaining 19 seats – of which 5 are for teachers, graduates, 9 for local bodies and 5 from MLAs quota.

It’s learnt that around 50 people are in fray for the 19 seats. Big names like Karanam Balaram, Angara Rammohan, one among Anam brothers, Adala Prabhakar Reddy, Ambika Krishna and many noted leaders are in the race.

Chandrababu Naidu is expected to take a decision on the final list of candidates today after attending the politburo meeting of the party.

It’s buzzed that the disappointed candidates may even shift their loyalties to Opposition YSR Congress party. However, it has to be seen how TDP is going to restrict the defections and pacify the dissatisfied candidates. The big question is can Chandrababu satisfy all?

Meanwhile, MLC elections for teachers’ constituency and graduates’ constituencies in AP will be held on March 9. Elections will be held for 3 graduates’ constituencies and 2 teachers’ constituencies as the tenure of the incumbents ends on March 29. The Election Commission has already issued the schedule.

'I Urged Him On Returning To India, But He Had Faith In US'

Sunayana, wife of slain techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla spoke at tribute-paying gathering at Garmin the other day. Her moist eyes and chocked voice have not stopped her from asking strong questions.

She revealed about asking Srinivas many a time about leaving the US, as the intolerence is growing at large and each day a new incident proving the same happened. But Srinivas urged her to be positive and ‘good things happen to good people’ is what he said to her.

Sunayana always wondered about how safe are we? She described how they came to US about ten years back meeting online and getting married in 2012. She even revealed about their planning for children and everything looks blur now with his death just few days before his 33rd birthday,

Srinivas always rejected the idea of Sunayana’s idea of leaving for India and now She became the voice of many immigrants who had doubts and worries on minds about living in the US. The very question from her ‘Do we belong here?’ echoed on everyone’s minds at tribute paying gathering of Garmin and many Indians who watched the video of her speech.

Sunayana demanded an answer from US government on what they promise to take up measures to put down the hate crime that has taken away her husband and many others on US lands. She demands an answer before she leaves for India to look after the last rites of her husband in India.

While Trump is good at delivering anti-immigrant rhetoric speeches, many started blaming him for not responding on the latest hate crime, the president’s spokesperson Sean Spicer says it is too early to jump to a conclusion as they have seen that too often in the past in Florida and other places.
