Industrialist and Congress candidate for Vijayawada MP seat, Lagadapati Rajagopal, seems to be in a lot of frustration, following the talk that he is losing the elections.

He is now giving vent to his frustration on his bete noire Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao. Otherwise, there was no reason why he had to convene a press conference at Hyderabad and criticise the TRS.

Lagadapati says the TDP would have got at least a couple of MP seats and more number of MLA seats in Telangana, had it not entered into alliance with the TRS. “By allowing TRS into the Mahakootami, the TDP lost heavily. It is not going to get even a single MP seat in the entire state and it has lost the opportunity of getting more MLA seats,” he said.

He also expressed sympathy for Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi. “He has made several strategic mistakes and failed to build up the organisation. Otherwise, he would have become at least the Leader of Opposition this time and the Chief Minister in 2004,” Lagadapati said.

Who has asked him to make all these silly comments? It is better he focuses on Vijayawada.

Visakhapatnam: Members of the Chiranjeevi blood donors club will file civil, criminal and defamation cases in the district court here on Monday against actor Rajasekhar’s wife and Mahila Congress leader Jeevitha for her derogatory remarks on Chiranjeevi blood banks in the state.

Stating that Jeevitha has hurt their feeling with her comments that the blood banks are doing business at the expense of the commoners, the members said they won’t keep quiet till the actor’s wife apologises to the lakhs of Chiranjeevi fans. They said they would release a white paper on the blood supplied to the needy people by the Chiranjeevi blood banks. “If our blood banks are doing business, then how did the government give the best blood bank award to the Chiranjeevi blood bank,” one of the members said.

A delegation of All India Insurance Employees Association on Friday submitted a memorandum to Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi seeking his intervention to stall a legislation proposed by the Centre to increase the limit of Foreign Direct Investment in insurance sector from 26 to 49 per cent.

The employees informed Chiranjeevi that the Bill was likely to be introduced in the ensuing session of Parliament from December 10.

Chiranjeevi Praja Rajyam Party Nellore Praja Ankita Yatra Halted Due to HC Stay.

Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) founder Chiranjeevi said that his party was ready for an alliance with any party. Asked about possible alliance with Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), he said his party was ready for alliance with any party, provided it come forward to work with PRP.

Speaking to reporters here today, he said that hurling of eggs by some TRS activists during his tour in Telangana region was not a premeditated one.

It may be recalled that PRP withdrew cases against TRS workers, who hurled eggs. Meanwhile, the PRP constituted manifesto committee with former Union ministers P Sivasankar and P Upendra as convenors. Senior leaders KSR Murthy, Dr P Mithra and Parakala Prabhakar were appointed as co-convenors for the manifesto committee. There were 30 others in the committee including former IPS officer Anjaneya Reddy, former IAS officer Tota Chandrasekhar, senior leaders V Geetha, Ch Harirama Jogaiah, Katti Padmarao, C Ramachandraiah, Yalamanchali Sivaji, Y Simhadri, VGR Naragoni, Kanakarao Madiga and others.

The first meeting of the manifesto committee will be held here on November 29 under the chairmanship of party founder Chiranjeevi. Speaking to reporters, Parakala Prabhakar said the committee would examine all the key issues and prepare a document.

In what will be the case of the first major political leader to join the party, former union minister P Shivshankar will join the Praja Rajyam later this week. Though Shivshankar’s son Vinay is already with the party and part of Chiranjeevi’s core committee, Shivshankar’s entry may open the door for the megastar for accessing the latter’s advice and help on many matters including political alliances. Shivshankar – now 80 – will be returning to active politics after many years. He left the Congress party in 2004 after questioning Sonia Gandhi about her ability to understand the culture of India in view of her foreign origin. Analysts say that the entry of Shivshankar who hails from Rangareddy will help Chiranjeevi to garner other backward caste (OBC) votes in the Telangana region. The veteran had served in various ministries at the Centre for two decades including those of law, justice, petroleum, energy, foreign affairs and human resources. He had represented Secunderabad in the Lok Sabha for two terms and Tenali for one term. Also a Rajya Sabha member for a six-year term, the Congress depended on his legal brain to formulate various strategies. “He will be used pretty much for the same purpose by Chiranjeevi,” said a political analyst. His son Vinay, a surgeon in Apollo Hospital, left his practice to join the Chiranjeevi bandwagon, a few months ago. Though sitting MPs Hariram Jogaiah and C Ramachandraiah have joined the party along with other political figures like former industry minister Vidyadhar Rao, political heavyweights have eluded the party. In fact with a view to forming a brand new party on a clean slate, Chiranjeevi has not been encouraging induction of political heavyweights into his fold.

Finally, he obliged the demand of the people of Telangana region and declared his party policy on the contentious statehood issue. Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi said that if the Central Government proposes separate Telangana, his party would not come in the way and also said that there was a need for every one to bring pressure on the Centre to adopt a resolution in favor of Telangana.

The actors announcement was greeted with loud applause from a massive gathering.

The crowd burst crackers and danced with joy.

Chiranjeevi started his second day of the Praja Ankita Yatra in Telangana region from Metpally this morning.

He travelled through Korutla and reached Jagityal town around 2 pm and at the bus stand circle he unveiled the policy on Telangana. Since morning the media was expecting the PRP president to announce the policy which he finally made at Jagityal.

Before announcing the policy Chiranjeevi lashed out at leaders who spoke on the need for separate State. He said that instead of taking the region on the road to development, politicians were trying to rouse passions with an intent to reap political gain.

He ridiculed the Congress for saying that the party would take a decision at an appropriate time. ‘‘When would that appropriate time come,’’ he questioned.

His party would bring pressure on the Centre to expedite the process, the PRP supremo stated. He criticised the leaders for not revealing the fact that Centre has the authority to create a separate State.

However, some local people said that Chiranjeevi has to be more clear on the Telangana issue.

Earlier in the day, Chiranjeevi addressed the agitating teachers at Metpally Tahsildar office. He said that if the students have to get good education teachers must be offered good facilities. Narrating the woes of teachers Chiranjeevi said that a teacher told him that because transfers had been put on hold, he and his wife were living in different areas.

Chiranjeevi described the demands of the teachers as genuine and need to be solved immediately.

Speaking at Korutla, he said that unless the weaker sections were represented in big number in the Assembly, their problems would not be solved. He said that the party has announced the first ticket to a tribal woman Muniamma who is working for the welfare of her community.

He urged the people to elect majority community people and his party was ready to send such leaders to the Assembly.

Addressing the problems of the minorities and beedi workers of the Korutla area, the PRP founder felt sorry that these sections were not getting justice and the minorities were being harassed.

Chiranjeevi on Thursday hinted that his Praja Rajyam party would support the demand for separate statehood to the Telangana region.

Launching his ‘yatra’ in Telangana, Chiranjeevi said he would make an announcement on the issue before he winds up his visit to the region.

The actor launched the second phase of his state-wide ‘yatra’ from Sricilla town in Karimnagar district. Addressing a series of roadside meetings in the district, he hinted that he would back the demand for separate Telangana state.

‘The people of Nizam region (Telangana) love me so much. My films were all hit in this region and the people in the industry called me Nizam hero. After getting so much love and affection from you, I will not cheat you,’ he said.

Chiranjeevi said he knew the aspirations and feelings of the people.

‘I will honour your sentiments and self-respect on this issue.’

His assurance came at a time when almost all parties are supporting the demand for separate Telangana in view of the ensuing elections.

The main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) recently supported the five decades old demand while the ruling Congress party is likely to soon make an announcement in favour of separate Telangana.

Chiranjeevi’s meetings evoked massive public response like his meetings in north Telangana Andhra, which he covered under the first phase of the ‘yatra’ earlier this month.

In Sircilla town, the actor promised to help the weavers, who are facing a serious crisis. This was his second visit to the handloom town.

He promised seven hours free electricity to the powerlooms and said the would be brought under the cover of a free health insurance scheme.

Voicing concern over continuing suicides by the distressed weavers, Chiranjeevi said if his party took power, it would pay a compensation of Rs.500,000 to the family of any weaver who commits suicide.

The Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) is hopeful of making a clean sweep of all Assembly constituencies in coastal Andhra Pradesh and it does not anticipate even a semblance of a fight from the ruling party, not to mention the seemingly unending woes of the TDP.

The PRP would make its mark in Telangana and Rayalaseema regions as well with social justice as the main election plank, said its leader K.S.R. Murthy.

Sensitive issue

Addressing mediapersons here on Thursday, Mr. Murthy said the Congress lost credibility and the TDP was not in a position to emerge unscathed from its problems. The PRP, he said, was trying to drive home the message that it was prepared to do its best for people’s welfare with service as the sole motto.

The PRP was planning ways to put an end to hardships of SCs, STs and Backward Classes, which were deprived of their rights for a long time.

Asked whether the PRP would prefer creation of separate Telangana, Mr. Murthy said party president Chiranjeevi would make a statement as it was a sensitive issue on which the party could not afford to take a hasty decision. The PRP was getting a good response in this region also contrary to perception that film stars would not be able to sway the electorate here, he asserted.

Dharna plan

Mr. Murthy said the PRP would picket East Godavari district Collector’s Office in a week if the government did not institute an inquiry into the corruption charges levelled by Small Scale Industries Minister Gollapalli Surya Rao against his cabinet colleague J.C. Diwakar Reddy, by the Lok Ayukta or a retired judge of the Supreme Court or Andhra Pradesh High Court. He said it was not a private matter to be deliberated in party forums as the Minister was accused of being involved in swindling of public money.

Many MLAs favoured an inquiry by a sitting judge knowing fully well that it was the least possible thing the government could do to ferret out such stark facts.

There were few instances when an inquiry was done by a sitting judge in India except the ones like Srikrishna Commission, which probed the Mumbai riots.

“It is unfortunate that similar charges traded by Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Opposition leader N. Chandrababu Naidu in the Assembly were never inquired into at the highest level,” Mr. Murthy added.
