Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is suffering from fever and has cancelled all his programmes for the next three days, officials said.According to a statement from the chief minister’s office, he is taking rest at his farmhouse at Erravalli in Medak district.Doctors on Saturday examined KCR, as Rao is popularly known, and advised him to take complete rest for two to three days.

Veteran Tamil star hero and DMK leader Vijayakanth is facing the ire of Rajinikanth fans all over the state for his controversial comments on Superstar. In a speech during his election campaign for DMK, Vijayakanth said he is not a Rajinikanth to bend down or back down for political threats. This obviously made Rajini’s fans angry and they expressed it by burning Vijaykanth’s effigies.

This is not the first time ever for Vijayakanth to make such controversial comments. He made unwanted comments, insulted media people and spit on media mikes when asked about his plans of alliance with Jayalalitha for elections.

He has the fame of insulting leaders of his own party at several instances.

At a time when Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao extending olive branch to his AP counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu over Godavari river water sharing, Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Minister Deveni Uma Maheshwar Rao sought to expose KCR’s wily tactics.Devineni told media persons on Saturday that KCR was trying to cheat the people of Andhra Pradesh with his sweet talk. Calling KCR’s bluff on Polavaram submergence areas, he said there was no truth in the Telangana Chief Minister’s claim that Naidu had agreed to return seven mandals of Khammam which would face submergence under Polavaram project back to Telangana.

“It is a blatant lie. Naidu had never given any such assurance to KCR that the submergence mandals would be restored to Telangana. They were merged with AP through a Constitutional amendment in Parliament. They cannot be given back to Telangana but will remain with AP. Naidu will not surrender to KCR under any circumstances,” Devieni said.KCR on Friday said he was ready to adopt a give-and-take approach with AP.

“When I can enter into an agreement with Maharashtra government, why should I feel shy of having similar agreement with my neighbouring Telugu State on river water sharing. AP can very well utilise its legitimate share in Godavari waters. There is no need for any petty quarrels,” he said.

In what may set the tone for a multi-polar contest in the next general elections, Jana Sena’s founder and Tollywood power star Pawan Kalyan has reportedly decided to start a massive padayatra-cum bus tour of Andhra Pradesh state shortly. This has proven to be a big twist.There are reports that the`Power Star’ is very keen to strengthen his party in every corner of Andhra Pradesh. He would be covering all the 175 assembly constituencies and that too in a phased manner.

A leading film producer is reportedly making arrangements for a state wide tour.Jana Sena leaders feel AP is now in a dire need of a credible leader who would be highlighting the pressing issues and hence, they feel Pawan Kalyan is the only alternative,lamenting how TDP government’s failure to convince Centre has pushed the state into financial crisis.

Jana Sena feels that the presence of Pawan Kalyan in active politics will ensure that Andhra Pradesh gets special category status sooner. At the same time Pawan Kalyan is yet to come with his own verdict on the state and central governments. Let us see how things take shape.
