Congress manifesto panel skips Telangana issue

congress-manifesto-2009-sonia-gandhi
HYDERABAD: For the second time in over a month, the Congress Manifesto Committee headed by Legislative Council Chairman A. Chakrapani decided to skip a discussion the contentious Telangana statehood issue.

It instead focussed on the developmental and welfare programmes to be included in the election manifesto.

Sources said the committee members felt it was better to include welfare and development programmes first before taking up the separate Telangana and the grand alliance issues. “We have to compulsorily include the two issues in the manifesto,” they said. The meeting, attended by APCC president D. Srinivas, Campaign Committee Chairman K. Rosaiah and Ministers — J. Geetha Reddy and Botcha Satyanarayana — decided to constitute eight sub-committees on various subjects. These sub-committees will handle various subjects like agriculture and cooperation; industries, energy, infrastructure development and information technology; education, law, courts and judicial reforms; local administration, rural development and rural water supply; general administration, home, road and buildings etc. A separate sub-committee comprising Mr. Rosaiah and Advisor to Government (Public Affairs) K.V.P. Ramachandra Rao will study the achievements of the present regime. All these committees had been asked to submit their proposals by January 31. Dr. Chakrapani told reporters that the manifesto would be sent to the high command.

YSR Releases 32-page manifesto

1237857069manifesto-release

The Congress party’s election manifesto in Andhra Pradesh has promised to enhance the quota of subsidised rice by 2 kg for each individual and assured power supply for nine hours daily to the agriculture sector.

The increase in the rice quota for each individual white card holder from four to six kg a month will place an annual burden of Rs. 4,000 crore on the exchequer in addition to the amount of Rs. 5,000 crore (excluding Central subsidy) already being incurred.

The 32-page party manifesto, which was released here on Monday by Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and APCC president D. Srinivas, promised to continue the ongoing welfare and developmental programmes of the Congress government in a more focused manner. The flagship programmes such as Indiramma housing, Arogyasri health insurance scheme, three per cent interest for loans to SHGs and fee reimbursement to the students besides the massive irrigation schemes would continue.
Assurance on LPG price

Dr. Reddy said that the price of LPG gas cylinder would come down by Rs. 100 a cylinder once piped gas supply to the household became a reality in three or four years. On the contentious Telangana statehood issue, the party pledged to honour the stand taken by the government on the floor of the Assembly.

The government had already constituted a committee of members of both the Houses under the chairmanship of senior member K. Rosaiah, it pointed out.

On SC categorisation, the party promised to pursue with the Centre, the issue of enacting a law in Parliament. Referring to Jalayagnam, the party resolved to complete the incomplete projects in a time-bound manner. It also promised to recognise the growing aspirations of the people of Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Prakasam, Nellore and the four Rayalaseema districts for a fair share in Krishna waters.

Dr. Reddy sought another term based on the five-year-long Congress governance that he termed a “glorious period of the State.”

“We never believed in making promises like free colour televisions and cash transfer scheme that are impossible to be implemented,” he remarked. Mr. Srinivas said the party reiterated to continue its people-friendly programmes. He said Arogyasri was one programme that had given a new lease of life to many patients.

Election Tamasha: Stampede fear in Praja Rajyam office

Leave a reply

13_chiru_1908_430xx
Whenever Chiranjeevi’s new flicks hit theatres, proprietors of cinema halls used to take utmost security measures fearing stampede at the ticket counters.

Now, a similar situation is prevailing at Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam headquarters as the selection of PR candidates for the upcoming polls is coming to an end.

This has prompted the Praja Rajyam authorities to tighten security at the their central offices.

Allotment of Assembly tickets has kept the security staff of the PR central offices on their toes.

The swanky building at Jubilee Hills, which houses Geeta Arts office, a film production house of Mr Allu Aravind, brother-in-law of Chiranjeevi, has turned into a fortress.

The glass walls of the building have been covered with plywood boards to minimise damage in case disgruntled aspirants turn violent. Mr Aravind is playing a key role in the selection process of the PR candidates.

The fledgling party has already tasted the wrath of party leaders who attacked PR offices in various districts when the state committee was announced.

Interestingly, the PR leadership is conducting “counselling classes” for aspirants who are vying for the same seat, so as to pacify the discontent among them.

Along with Mr Aravind and Mr Devender Goud, Chiranjeevi is taking part in these meetings to justify the reasons for chosing a particular candidate.

Chiranjeevi has warned ticket aspirants in his party not to resort to dissidence if they are denied tickets.

He said any dissident activity would be dealt with firmly.

The Praja Rajyam is now giving final touches to the list of candidates. The party leadership is planning to release the first list with 70 candidates either on Tuesday or Wednesday.

“We are expecting a large number of people to migrate from the Grand Alliance after the Telugu Desam releases its first list. So, we are not finalising candidates in segments where Mahakutami members are at loggerheads,” said a close aide of Chiranjeevi.

Jayasudha vs Jr NTR Comments

jayasudha1237835312

Actor and Congress nominee from Secunderabad Assembly constituency, Jayasudha, took on actor Junior NTR in her blog Jayam Manade (victory is ours).

She belittled Junior NTR and wrote:
“It is funny how legacies are carried on in our state. Many people talk about how NTR (Jr.) inherited the charisma of his illustrious grandfather. I do not know what to say about such comparisons. No doubt NTR (Jr.) is a very good actor. He also seems to have all the famous dialogues of his grandfather on his finger tips but when NTR (Sr.) spoke there was a soul to his words.

I think people get so carried away with the memory of a great name that they seem to forget everything else. It does not seem to matter if the man in question is a womaniser or a drunk, all that matters is the last name. It is so nauseating to see all that is being played out in the name of NTR that I just avoid it. The real NTR fan will know that there can only be one NTR. ”

A K Mohanty is AP’s new DGP

Leave a reply

moha_254466436

The Election Commission on Sunday decided to appoint Ajit Kumar Mohanty as the new Director General of Police (DGP) of Andhra Pradesh.

It may be recalled the EC had removed the previous DGP SSP Yadav for violating the model code of conduct by praising the state government. Also, Yadav left the headquarters to visit Singapore without informing the EC.

Known for his honesty and steadfastness, Mohanty was sidelined by the Congress government following the pressure from a lobby within the IPS officers, headed by Yadav and intelligence Additional DGP, intelligence Aravinda Rao.

Mohanty, while working as the Director General of Anti-Corruption Bureau, had sent shivers through the spines of corrupt government officials. Then he was appointed as the Hyderabad City Police Commissioner. However, the Congress government shifted him following the pressure from MIM, as Mohanty was acting according to the law without heeding to the blackmail of the MIM leaders.

He was then posted as the Additional Director General of Police, Law and Order, but many IPS officers pressurized the government to transfer Mohanty following which he was posted as the chief of Octopus, the newly created anti-terror wing.

Unfortunately, intelligence chief Aravinda Rao and DGP Yadav lobbied against him and sidelined him by getting him posted to the Road Safety Authority, which has no set up to do anything.

But, efficiency and honesty finally won with the EC appointing him as the new DGP despite opposition from the MIM.

KCR tries to mollify Vijayashanti

Leave a reply

vijahanti1
HYDERABAD: Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao met film actor Vijayashanti at her residence here on Saturday evening in an apparent bid to mollify her as she was reportedly unhappy with the constituency offered to her by the party for contesting in the elections.

He drove to Ms. Vijayashanti’s house in Jubilee Hills minutes after she told a large delegation of the party that she was unsure whether she would contest the polls at all. She wished the party well and said that all those who approached her should win the election.

The delegation tried to persuade her to contest for Malkajgiri parliamentary seat, but she gave no commitment. Mr. Rao had, a few days ago, announced at a party meeting that either Ms. Vijayashanti or he would enter the fray from Medak parliamentary constituency, considered safer than Malkajgiri.

Asked for his response after the two-hour meeting, Mr. Rao counselled reporters not to put out stories that were damaging.

He said the list of TRS candidates would be announced on Sunday or Monday morning. The delegation that went to Ms. Vijayashanti was led by senior party leader T. Sudarshan Rao. He urged her to take the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha seat as her glamour would not only ensure her own victory, but also that of the party candidates from the Assembly segments in that constituency.

The candidates aspiring for tickets in these segments had a selfish interest in requesting her to contest from Malkajgiri.

The leaders said she need not sweat it out to win. They would toil hard to ensure her victory.

praja-rajyam
Chiranjeevi speaking at the Praja Vijayabheri today said that the congress party and the TDP were neck deep in corruption. Chiru said that both Babu and YSR were hand in glove and looted public money at will.

In public, Babu an YSR may give an impression of being sworn enemies but in the evening they both meet and shake hands and celebrate.

Chiranjeevi said that if he is made the chief minister, he will initiate criminal action against Babu an YSR and bring them to book
