Watch TDP MLA Yarapathineni Srinivasa Rao on AP Cabinet expansion – Neti Maata
Will Pawan Question Babu?
It’s been 24 hours, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has reshuffled his cabinet for the first time and still the tremors could be felt with mixed reaction from party insiders and a total backlash from Opposition parties.
Especially anointing of defected YSRCP MLAs into the cabinet has kicked up a major storm in political, media circuits given that Naidu himself had strongly found fault with Telangana CM KCR when he had made Talsani Srinivas Yadav (who won as MLA on TDP ticket) a minister. Even as the old videos of Naidu lashing out at KCR for the act are being played by TV channels and they’re shared widely on social platforms, TDP is visibly unfazed by the criticism.
While it’s clear that Naidu & his team have already prepared for this backlash and rubbing it off without paying much attention to it, the big question is how its ally and supporter Janasena would take this. Given that Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan has been vocal about ethical, moral politics, certainly this is not the move he would welcome.
With this act, Naidu has pushed Pawan into a state that he has to blame the opportunistic politics of TDP and distance himself from the ruling party which seems to have achieved very little ever since it came to power in 2014. Amidst accusations and allegations that Pawan has been a ‘dummy’ in the hands of Naidu, it’s the time for Pawan to prove all of them wrong by exposing TDP. It’s clear that TDP is just surviving with the repeated faults of Opposition and its leader YS Jagan. And it can’t be continued for long as at anytime people would feel sympathise with Jagan and miffed with TDP’s tall claims that’s lacking proof on the ground.
However, there’s a small and smart tactic played by Naidu. By including Bhuma Akhila Priya into the cabinet who lost her father Bhuma Nagi Reddy in an untimely death, Naidu has made it difficult for Pawan who has openly condoled and said Bhuma was close to him during the times of PRP. If Pawan directly opposes the move of including defected YSRCP leaders into the cabinet, invariably he ends up opposing Bhuma Akhila Priya’s anointment of minister which isn’t comfortable for Pawan.
Barring this, it’s the time for Pawan to point out the holes in TDP government for which he rallied in 2014 elections. The big question is will Pawan question Naidu? Will Pawan take clear stand against TDP?

'Will Quit as MLA & Start New Political Party If Needed'
The cabinet expansion by AP CM Chandrababu Naidu has kicked up a storm in AP TDP as party senior leaders and several senior workers expressed their angst, dissatisfaction.
Former Environment & Forests minister and Srikalahasthi MLA Bojja Gopala Krishna Reddy, who is one among the five outsed ministers, has immediately put in his papers to both ministry & MLA seat as soon as the decision came in. While Bonda Uma was persuaded by Vijayawada MP Kesineni Nani and Bandar MP Narayana, the tremors could felt as the list of disappointed MLAs is large.
While the induction of Jammalamadugu MLA Adi Narayana Reddy into cabinet hasn’t gone well with others in the region, the elevation of West Godavari district’s Achanta MLA Pitani Satyanarayana come as a shocker to Dendulur MLA Chintamaneni Prabhakar and his followers.
Questioning the decision, Chintamaneni supporters alleged that Pitani had put cases against several TDP workers during Congress rule, they asked how could a person who was behind cases on TDP workers could get ministry in TDP rule. Speaking to media, Chintamaneni announced his resignation to his MLA seat.
While maintaining that he wouldn’t join anyother political party, he stated that he would even float a new political party if required. He said that he would like to meet CM Chandrababu and submit his resignation.
Family Behind Bojjala Losing Ministry?
Ever since AP CM Chandrababu Naidu reshuffled his cabinet and ousted five incumbent ministers on Sunday, all eyes are on TDP senior leader and Srikalahasthi MLA Bojjala Krishna Reddy. While Bojjala has already submitted his resignation to ministry and also sent his resignation of MLA seat to the Speaker and communicated the same to the house leader Chandrababu,
In fact, Bojjala was so close to Chandrababu as he was injured along with Naidu in Alipiri blast in October 2003. Since then Chandrababu has good bond with Bojjala and this was one of the reasons for including him the cabinet after Naidu came back to power in 2014. However, it’s learnt that Bojjala’s lack of grip on his ministry and domination of his son in his ministry and role of his wife in his constitution are said to be reasons behind his removel from the ministry.
Apparently, Naidu has received several complaints against Bojjala with the involvement of his son Bojjala Sudheer Reddy and his wife Brundamma in Srikalahasthi constituency. Also, the corruption allegations against his son and becoming power centre in Forest ministry haven’t gone well with CM Naidu. Bojjala reportedly couldn’t control them as they have gone out of his hand and he couldn’t help but apparently became a mute spectator resulting in inviting Naidu’s ire.
All these factors said to have resulted in Bojjala losing his ministry. Now that he has also resigned to his MLA seat, it needs to be seen, what’s in store for him.

Responding to rumours of dating Bollywood actor Tanuj Virwani, Akshara clarifies and set the record straight, “There’s no truth in it. We’re best friends and I wonder where this news came from. We’ve a lot of common friends. We’ve a group and it goes, ‘So you guys are dating, huh?’.”

And Akshara admits her relationship with him but says it’s a thing of past. “We know each other since childhood. We used to run around on the sets of ‘Hey Ram’. So, it’s easy for both of us to work with each other. Personally, we decided to move on and we’re just friends now. So, I remember only friendship.”
On Marriage & Separation of Parents
Akshara says that she doesn’t know whether she’s game for marriage or not. But she says it varies from individual to individual and so she suggests everyone to go by their heart and do whatever works for them. She said she was hurt when her parents were separated but she later realised that if two people are not happy together, they probably shouldn’t be together as it makes it worse.

She forces me to put on m a k e u p (laughs). ‘You better do this’, she teases me. However, I like to keep it real as make-up suffo cates my skin. So, I usually avoid it unless I am required to wear it,” signs off Akshara.
That's Joke On Samantha: People Didn't Get It
Right now people are busy debating how come a newspaper will be publishing an info about heroine Samantha without even verifying it. According to reports, a newspaper shared that Samantha and Naga Chaitanya got married at Brooklyn Bridge in New York the place that was shown in “Ye Maya Chesave” where they reunite.
Post this report, other media houses are seen immediately publishing clarifications that Samantha didn’t get married and they came to know about it from sources close to her. Frankly speaking, that report published in Deccan Chronicle newspaper about Samantha’s special wedding on Brooklyn Bridge was intended to make fun. Yes, it’s an April Fools Day joke which the report explained it towards the end.
With Samantha in Hyderabad from last one week, attending various events including a College event and IIFA Awards show, one naturally gets a doubt that Samantha didn’t go to the USA in the recent times rather Chaitanya too. But the joke published by Chronicle was so poetic and real that people started believing it after reading half the story.
It’s the latter part however that says the reader that they got April fooled by the perfectly crafted creative story.
Secret Work For Charan-Arjun Multi Starrer?
Lately, both Ram Charan and his cousin Allu Arjun are making sure that their films are shot under huge privacy that even a news related to them will not get leaked.
Although none knows how Bunny’s DJ Duvvada Jagannadam got started and wrapped almost 80% already, even Ram Charan headed to Konaseema to wrap Sukumar’s film without any hungama. As per highly placed sources, a senior star director is now said to be working on a multi-starer script that stars Charan and Arjun in the leads.
Earlier the film Yevadu has shown both Allu Arjun and Ram Charan, but they didn’t play characters that act concurrently with each other. Now in this latest movie, they will be seen together from the first frame to end credits. As of now, details related to writers and director of this project are a well-kept secret.
Adding fuel to the fire, Geetha Arts has now registered the title “Charan Arjun” and if not a multi-starer film featuring Charan and Bunny, which hero will get this title from this camp?
