chiranjeevi23

Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi is all set to join hands with Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mulayam Singh and Ram Vilas Paswan to to consolidate the “fourth front” at the national level.

SP general secretary Amar Singh, along with his colleague Sanjay Dutt, met Chiranjeevi over dinner on Monday and discussed the prospects of PRP joining the fourth front. The SP leader told media persons in Vijayawada that Chiranjeevi’s statement on Fourth Front was a welcome step.

He said: “Chiranjeevi cannot support the UPA, because he is fighting the Congress in Andhra Pradesh, nor can he join the Third Front, because he is opposing Chandrababu Naidu. We cannot join the Third Front because we are opposing Mayawati. All of us are opposed to the BJP. So, the only way is to form the Fourth Front,” he said.

Unbelievable as it may sound, the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, is appealing to the electorate in certain seats not to vote for the “cycle”, his party’s poll symbol. Mr Naidu had already asked Makthal voters not to vote for the cycle and defeat the TD candidate, Mr Dayakar Reddy, during his campaign in Mahbubnagar district. The TD chief will have to repeat the appeal in the Secunderabad and Warangal LS seats and Maheshwaram Assembly seat where the party’s “official” nominees refused to withdraw.

“Unlike in 2004 where the Congress indirectly supported its leaders to take on the official nominees of the TRS as independents, the TD issued B-forms to its candidates,” a senior party leader admitted. After a party issues this form, the candidates are treated as “official” candidates as per poll records and the returning officer will allot the party symbol even if they refuse to withdraw from the contest.

In Warangal, the TD nominee, Mr D. Sambaiah, remained in the fray with the cycle symbol though the seat was allotted to the TRS. The TRS chief, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, may also have to request voters not to vote for the car symbol of his party. In Husnabad, the party nominee Capt. Lakshmikantha Rao, refused to withdraw and decided to take on the CPI candidate Mr Ch. Venkata Reddy. In Warangal East, TRS and CPI(M) are fighting each other.

Mulugu (Medak District): Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) candidate for Medak Lok Sabha seat, actor Vijaya shanti is slowly but surely becoming assertive during campaign on the issues close to peoples’ hearts. With her cinema glamour, she is able to move with the masses in an attempt to bridge the gap with them.

“I am hungry. Can you feed me just a handful?”, Vijaya shanti asked an old lady at Gajwel during her campaign. At another place she interacted with a farmer on issues like power supply.

Accustomed as she is with untimely meals even as a actor, Vijayashanti is on a eight hour hectic campaigning, before she breaks for lunch at odd hours and resumes her tour of villages without respite. Standing on a yellow vehicle decorated with the flags of TRS and TDP, Ms. Vijayashanti tries her hand at Telangana dialect as she addresses a gathering in an interactive mode. Prior to that she garlands the statute of B.R. Ambedkar in the centre of the village. People climb up to rooftops to have a glimpse of their new leader and one time actor.

“The Grand Alliance was formed to defeat the Congress which has cheated the people. Are you able to get the Manjira water?” she asks people and gets an answer in the negative.

She poses a volley of questions to them telling them that their right to water can be realised only if a separate State is formed. “Do not get carried away with the welfare measures of the Congress. You will be always at the receiving end. So vote for the Grand Alliance to get your right on water and land,” she tells people and moves forward.

“You have seen Vijaya shanti on screen. Has she ever surrendered to bad guys? Never. Titti Teesta (I will see their end in politics also)” she says amidst applause. After her foray, there is a rise in confidence among workers of Grand Alliance.

“We are confident that we will be winning the MP seat with a comfortable margin of more than one lakh votes,” says TRS district president M. Raghunandana Rao

Political SMS Campaign Business @ Rs Crores

It looks like the other name for politics is money. And this is not just for the politicians but also for all those who are linked with it. The latest to join this happen to be the mobile networks who had a field day, thanks to the forthcoming elections.

It is heard that a major revenue to the tunes of some crores have been earned by them due to the SMS campaign that many political leaders undertook. Reports say that the same database was being given during the starting days at a whopping Rs50-60 lakhs.

As time passed by, the prices got down and now it is heard that the databases are being given away for Rs 2-3 lakhs. While the mobile folks made money, the poor customers had no choice but to get wishes from Chandrababu naidu, local MLAs, Y S R and others.

Krishnam Raju, Murali Mohan in star fight for Rajahmundry

Leave a reply

It will be a clash of stars in the Rajahmundry Lok Sabha constituency in coastal Andhra Pradesh as the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) has fielded veteran actor U.V. Krishnam Raju against Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) Murali Mohan.

It is expected to be an interesting three-cornered contest as the ruling Congress party’s U. Arun Kumar is seeking re-election.

Krishnam Raju, popularly known as the ‘rebel star’, recently quit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joined the PRP of actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi. The former central minister’s name figures in the seventh list of candidates released by the PRP Friday night.

Though Krishnam Raju was keen to contest from either Kakinada or Narsapur, the constituencies he represented earlier, Chiranjeevi has pitted him against another actor of yesteryears Murali Mohan.

Krishnam Raju, who plunged into politics in the early 1990s, contested the 1991 Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket from Narsapur constituency, but lost.

He later joined BJP and got elected twice to Lok Sabha from Kakinada and Narsapur in the 1998 and 1999 elections respectively. He also served as minister of state for external affairs in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government from 2000 to 2004 but lost the 2004 elections from Narsapur.

Since then, he was keeping a low-profile and was unhappy with the style of functioning of the BJP. While joining the PRP a few days ago, he had said that he was impressed by the policies of megastar Chiranjeevi.

Krishnam Raju, who began his film career in 1966, was a popular actor in the 1970s and 1980s and has acted in over 180 films. He is the fourth film personality in Andhra Pradesh to join the race for this month’s Lok Sabha elections.

Popular actress Vijayshanti is contesting as the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) candidate from Medak while Chiranjeevi’s brother-in-law and film producer Allu Aravind is the PRP candidate from Ankapalli.

Though Murali Mohan, a contemporary of Krishnam Raju, has been an active leader in the TDP for many years, this is the first time that he is contesting an election.

Murali Mohan, who started his career in the early 1970s, acted in several films over the next one decade. He later turned a producer. After taking a break from active cinema, he joined TDP and became chairman of the Andhra Pradesh Film Development Corporation. He also started the construction company Jayabher Group, which built many residential projects in and around Hyderabad.

The two actors will be facing Arun Kumar, the sitting Congress MP who has been in the news for taking on media baron Ramoji Rao. However, he faces an uphill task this time as a section of the electorate in Rajahmundry feels that he has not done much for the constituency’s development.

The BJP, which won this seat in 1998 and 1999, has fielded its state general secretary Somu Veeraju but he is not considered a strong candidate.

YSR’s poll spiel near exam venue

Leave a reply

ys_tdp_595525413
Balkonda: For a leader seeking votes for his party in lieu of promises to look after their welfare in the next five.

For a leader seeking votes for his party in lieu of promises to look after their welfare in the next five years, it is a good example of callousness and lack of sensitivity.

This besides being a violation of the model code of conduct for elections.

On Wednesday, chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy seeking votes addressed a public meeting at a ground adjoining the government school at Balkonda in Nizamabad district even as the class X board examinations were being held in the school.

The chief minister entered the ground next to the Zilla Parishad High School premises at 11.35 am — 25 minutes before completion of the physics paper — and addressed the meeting for more than half an hour.

Students complained about the cacophony outside their classrooms when they were writing the exam. A student, B Raju, told TOI: “The peace required when writing an exam was disturbed by the election meeting and greatly affected us.” “The noise and the leaders’ speeches were reverberating in the exam hall and badly affected our concentration. Who is going to make up for all the damage to us,” another student, Nagendar, complained.

It is learnt that the local Congress leaders had sought the school management’s permission to use the open playground after completion of the exam at 12 noon, but Rajasekhara Reddy arrived ahead of the schedule.

“Since Rajasekhara Reddy came in ahead of time, he went ahead and addressed the meeting. We are not sure whether he knew an exam was going on close by,” a party insider said.

As per the election code, no public meetings can be held within a hundred metre radius of a school campus, if classes are on or an examination is being held. A local police official batting for the ruling party told TOI: “We had barricaded the area, but a large crowd gathered and occupied the ground very close to the school compound. Why blame the chief minister?”

But miffed by the development, TRS and other political parties have lodged a complaint with the Election Commission charging the chief minister with violating the model code. Election observer Meera Srivastava, who interacted with the school authorities, said that a suitable action can be taken after conducting a comprehensive enquiry.

In a related development, Telugu Desam leaders also complained to the Election Commission that the chief minister had violated the model code by using the Armoor court premises to park vehicles while addressing a public meeting in the same district.

Bandaru touches upon common man’s issues

Leave a reply

bandaru_dattatreya_777482599
He looks determined to bag the seat that placed him in the Union Cabinet in the previous government. After a “surprise” loss in the last elections, he is taking no chance this time and hitting the lanes and by-lanes, so familiar to him, early in the morning. He reminds people of what he has done for the city and not just his constituency.

The BJP candidate for the Secunderabad LS seat, B. Dattatreya, kicked off his campaign in style from Warasiguda on Wednesday helping a labourer download coconut bags from a lorry and kissing an infant even as his followers reminded that it all reflected his simplicity and down-to-earth nature. As his specially designed vehicle fitted with mikes, along with his followers on bikes snaked through the small lanes inviting curious people to come out of their house, Mr. Dattatreya raised issues that touched the common man. He raised the issue of the spiralling prices of essential commodities and how hard the middle and lower income groups were hit. “But this government talks high of its performance when people have to spend Rs. 30 to buy a kg of rice despite bumper crop in the last five years,” he said.

Mr. Dattatreya alleged that corruption levels of the Congress have not just affected individuals but the State itself. He said people had to lose Metro Rail due to the greed of Mr. Rajasekhara Reddy and they should question this government. “I was instrumental in getting money for MMTS, Krishna water, flyovers and Vambay houses in the city,” he reminded them. But this government concentrated more on selling lands and less on people’s welfare.

Mr. Dattatreya didn’t confine himself to just local issues, but also national issues like the failure of the UPA government in containing terrorism.He talked about how the blasts in Hyderabad shattered the confidence of the common man and the image of the city.Accompanied by the Secunderabad Assembly seat candidate Shanigarapu Ramesh Chakra, he campaigned in Warasiguda, Mohdguda and Chilkalguda divisions.

Congress will return to power in Andhra: Srinivas

Leave a reply

d_srinivas_391169506

The Congress would return to power in Andhra Pradesh on the basis of “unprecedented” welfare and development measures undertaken by the Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government in the last five years, party state president D Srinivas said here on Thursday.

“Our government has taken up welfare and development programmes like never before. We are high on credibility in comparison with other parties. I am sure people would give us fresh mandate,” he said during a Meet the Press organised by the Andhra Pradesh Union of Working Journalists (APUWJ).

The Grand Alliance, put together by the Opposition TDP, TRS, CPI and CPI(M), “lacked” ideological coherence and they are unable to put up a united front, Mr. Srinivas alleged.

“The scrutiny of nominations is going on currently. The constituents of the Grand Alliance have fielded candidates against each other by giving B-forms. There is no clarity on the candidates who are in the fray,” he said.

Asked about the Opposition charge that the Congress has “cheated” people on the separate Telangana issue, he said the separate statehood demand is a “sensitive and complex” issue and it has “moved positively” during the last five years.
