Jagan Curses Blessings For Naidu?
This is the talk going on in the Telugu Desam Party circles these days. Whenever YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy attacked AP chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu in strongest words, they turned out to be blessings for the latter in the form of defections from the YSRC into the TDP.The latest talk is that YSR Congress party MLA from Palamaneru N Amarnath Reddy is going to join the TDP sooner or later.
Sources say Amarnath has been angry with Jagan for ignoring him in taking key decisions in the party and also rejecting his candidature for the Public Accounts Committee chairman on the lines of Jyothula Nehru. He reportedly sent feelers to the TDP leadership which has agreed to take him into the party.
If Amarnath joins the TDP, it will be the first wicket to go down for YSRC in Chittoor district. Incidentally, the YSR Congress party has been losing its MLAs to the TDP, whenever Jagan attacks Naidu.Does it mean his curses are turning out to be blessings for Naidu?

New Delhi: With rapid increase in the number of smartphones, average mobile data consumption per smartphone in India is expected to increase five times and account for 99 per cent of total traffic from mobile phones by 2021, as per a study by telecom gear maker Ericsson.”Data traffic per active smartphone is expected to increase fivefold from 1.4 GigaByte (GB) per month in 2015 to 7 GB per month by 2021.

As per the report, mobile phone users in India give more importance to voice than data services, indicating that it is smartphone users who drive the need for better data services and they are even ready to pay for good service.
“Young smartphone users aged 15-24 years old drive the need for better data speed and data coverage and have a higher inclination to pay a premium for the same,” the report said.In India, streaming music and watching videos are the most popular forms of entertainment and WhatsApp Messenger is the top mobile app used on smartphones.”Around 50 percent of smartphone users stream music on mobile apps every week, and more than one in two internet users watch short online video clips on a weekly basis,” the report said.
E-commerce apps such as Flipkart and Snapdeal are growing in popularity in India.
