PM Narendra Modi, who is not seen as a great admirer of the Indian media, took reporters by surprise on Sunday while leaving the venue of a BJP parliamentary party workshop.

He spent good ten minutes with mediapersons covering the meet with small talks and wide smiles.

Narendra Modi pointed wanted to know if any of them was in France, Germany or Canada to cover his tour.

Shah’s big moment
It was a big moment for BJP chief Amit Shah when the party membership drive crossed the 10- crore mark.

Shah, who was in Manipur on Sunday morning, expressed the happiness with his tweet.

“BJP now has 10cr+ ( 100 million) members in its fold. A milestone for any democratic movement in the world. Jai Hind,” the BJP chief tweeted.

He also expressed gratitude to party workers for making the BJP world’s largest party.

The State may have been bifurcated but the miseries of the people in both States seem to have taken a turn for the worse under Chandrababu Naidu and KCR.

In Andhra Pradesh, Naidu is grabbing the fertile agricultural lands in the name of new capital region.

In Telangana, it is KCR who in the name of ‘Bangaru Telangana’ is grabbing lands for various projects whether it be the development of Yadagirigutta or his proposed Pharma City.

The state government had announced the Pharma City, which will house bulk drug manufacturing units in an extent of 11,000 acres at Mucherla and surrounding areas.

A major chunk of the 11,000 acres is in Kandukur mandal. Official sources said 500 acres private patta land and 1,000 acres assigned land would be taken over. Though the government is yet to serve notices for land acquisition, villagers of Mucherla, Saireddygudem, Hanmaspally, Kurmidda, Thadipatri and Kadtal have started protesting the move.

Interestingly, the agitation is being led by Telangana United Forum (TUF) co-chairperson Vimalakka, who has already held several meetings in these villages against the project.

“The proposed Pharma City will spell doom for the area. The farmers have been cultivating the assigned land since 1952. Now the state wants to take over the land from the farmers in the name of Pharma City, which will ultimately pollute the entire area,” said Vimalakka.

Is Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao suffering from any serious ailment?

According to party sources, the Chief Minister has been talking in philosophical terms with his senior party colleagues of late and has been bringing pressure on the officials to expedite certain schemes that would fetch him a lot of mileage among people.

He has also reportedly instructed the officials to create a sort of museum on the separate Telangana movement at Sangareddy jail, especially highlighting his role in the movement.

That he is apprehensive about his health condition was also evident from his statement at the Telangana artistes’ convention that the struggle for creation of Golden Telangana should continue, irrespective of whether he is alive or not in the coming days. This has led to discussion among party circles that there is something wrong with his health.

However, KCR is a man of strong will. He can withstand adverse conditions and let us hope he will overcome all his health problems to continue his crusade for Bangaru Telangana.

Today is Andhra Pradesh CM Chandra Babu Naidu’s birthday and goes without saying he was flooded with wishes.

While some tweeted, some phoned him and others sent him wishes through friends and family. But many did notice that one of his strategic friends conveniently chose to ignore wishing Babu on his birthday.

Now, he is no small man. He used his charisma and image to make sure that he came to power and he did all that in the garb of supporting Modi.

And when Jagan wanted to go to new capital zone, he quickly jumped into the scene, visited capital zone and made sure that sentiments were diluted when Jagan visited the region.

Also when Medha Patkar announced that she would be visiting the capital zone, he once again tweeted his support for capital zone opponents.

After so much action, he conveniently chose to forgot all this and similarly he also chose to forget wishing his friend Chandra Babu a happy birthday. Well, what else can we say?
