Jr. NTR to appear again on TV

jnr_ntr_2073138161
Jr. NTR appeared on television just two days before the voting for the first phase of polling and urged the people to vote for the TDP. NTR is now taking rest as advised by the doctors after his accident. Jr. NTR’s speech was found to be much too dramatic by the people. Many felt that he overdid the act by wearing khakhi clothes, a yellow TDP scarf around his neck and his theatrics.

JR. NTR is now set to come up with yet another appeal to the voters in a live broadcast on TV. It remains to be seen if he will resort the same theatrics as he did the first time or will he come up with a simple yet heartfelt appeal for votes.

Congress, TDP try to measure Chiru vote

ap21239299689

The Praja Rajyam could be a game-changer in the second phase of elections on April 23, though it did not fare too well in the first phase.

It is believed that the Praja Rajyam will take up to 25 per cent of the votes in the segments where it commands influence, and up to 10 per cent elsewhere. The big question is from which party the votes will come from.

The second phase polls cover 140 Assembly seats in 10 districts of coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema and is crucial to both the Congress and the Telugu Desam.

According to intelligence reports, the Congress can win 60 seats in the first phase and 90 out of the 140 going to the polls in the second. Winning anything less than 90 will make it difficult to retain power.

The TD and its poll partners have to win at least 60 seats in the second phase, after claiming that it will get 90 seats in the first. Both the Congress and the TD have acknowledged that they will suffer Chiranjeevi cuts in East and West God-avari districts. But it is the Chiranjeevi impact in Nell-ore, Prakasam, Guntur and Krishna districts that is wo-rrying the two main parties.

The Praja Rajyam candidates will poll between 5,000 and 20,000 votes in seats in these districts. That is a sizeable number in a keen contest. In Rayalaseema, however, the Praja Rajyam may not cut heavily into the Congress and TD votes as its influence is waning; the fight could be confined to a very few segments.

According to sources, Praja Rajyam candidates have edge over its rivals in Kakinada and Amalapuram Lok Sabha seats out of the 20 going to polls on April 23. Its influence is more felt in East and West Godavari districts. PR candidates have edge in the Assembly segments of Anantapur, Allagadda, Panyam, Alur, Rajampet, Proddutur and Tirupati, where Chiranjeevi is the party candidate.

It also expects a strong showing in Kavali, Nellore Town, Ongole, Giddalur, Guntur West, Vijayawada West, Bandar, Eluru, Polavaram and Palacole, where Chiranjeevi is also contesting. Jaggampet, Ramachandrapuram, Mummadivaram, Kottapeta, Mandapeta, Rajanagaram, Rajahmundry City, Peddapuram, P. Gannavaram and Kakinada Urban are other seats where the Praja Rajyam is seen to be strong.

Congress candidate in Anantapur arrested

cong1
A ruling Congress party candidate for the Andhra Pradesh assembly in the state’s Anantapur district has been arrested by Karnataka police in connection with an attempt to murder case.

T. Prakash Reddy, who is a candidate from the Rapthadu assembly constituency, was arrested by a police team from Bangalore on Sunday. He was taken to Bangalore, where a court sent him to judicial custody.

The arrest of Prakash Reddy has come as a blow to the ruling party at a time when Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy is campaigning in Anantapur district in Rayalaseema region.

The police said Prakash Reddy was an accused in the case in which acid was thrown at a manidentified only as Krishnamurthy in connection with a land dispute. The attack took place in 1997 near Bangalore.

Prakash Reddy, one of the 10 accused in the case, was booked for attempt to murder. Though a Bangalore court declared him a proclaimed offender and issued warrants against him, he had failed to appear before the court.

With the Election Commission directing police to execute all pending arrest warrants, the police sent a team to Anantapur to arrest him.

The Congress candidate’s arrest came a day before the chief minister’s visit to Rapthadu constituency to campaign for Prakash Reddy, in an area where the Congress is riven by factions.

Local Congress leaders have alleged that his rival Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate Paritala Sunita was behind the arrest. Sunita is widow of Paritala Ravi, a former minister who was gunned down by his rivals in Anantapur in 2005.

Prakash Reddy is also one of the accused in the Jubilee Hills bomb blast case of 1996. The bomb attack was carried out on the convoy of Ravi in Hyderabad. While the TDP leader survived, 25 other people in the convoy were killed in the blast.

KCR Dropped In Mahakutami?

kcr31238346960
The omission of Telangana Rashtra Samiti president K. Chandrashekar Rao from the final rally of Mahakutami at Tirupati on Monday has raised several doubts. While managers of Mahakutami claimed they did not feel the necessity of inviting Mr. Rao to the meeting, he has himself taken cover saying he had developed sore feet caused by extensive campaigning till the other day.
‘Bribing’ the rain god!

Politicians are never found wanting when it comes to scoring brownie points against one another. TDP leaders have finally found out a counter to the Congress’ claims that Varuna Deva (rain god) is a Congress man with former Minister P. Chandrasekhar put up an interesting query. “Why did the Congress government spend Rs. 100 crore on cloud seeding if Varuna is really a Congress man? Was the amount meant to be a bribe to please him?”

TDP, PRP lead in Krishna district

cbn-chiru
With the second phase of poll date nearing, TDP’s smile is beginning to widen what with indications that the party could easily bag

eight out of 14 assembly constituencies in Krishna district where it received a drubbing in the last elections. The PRP is also on a leatherhunt by giving Congress a run for its money.

Both ministers in the YSR cabinet – Pinnamaneni Venkateswara Rao (Gudivada) and Mandali Budhaprasad (Avanigadda) – are far behind PRP candidates Ravi Venkateswara Rao and Simhadri Ramesh. “The ministers could be fighting for the second or third slots,” an analyst said.

The other minister Koneru Ranga Rao, who took voluntary retirement from politics, was left as a mute spectator even as TDP had made huge inroads in his home constituency of Tiruvur. Congress nominees – D Padma Jyothy, Parameswara Rao and D Y Das from Tiruvur, Nandigama and Pamarru respectively – are lagging behind their TDP opponents due to severe infighting among the Congress leaders.

Sources said the winning chances of TDP candidates in SC constituencies are bright, while local MP Lagadapati Rajagopal was exposed for not picking up the momentum in some of the assembly seats.

Senior PRP leader Buragadda Vedavyas, however, is finding the going tough at Machilipatnam where no local leader is backing him. Both Vedavyas and Congress candidate Perni Venkateswara Rao alias Nani are laying focus on Kapu voters, while TDP candidate Kollu Ravindra, a fisherman, is banking on his community people’s support.

Sources said Congress candidates Devineni Nehru (Vijayawada East), M V P Apparao (Nuziveedu), K P Saradhi (Penamalur), S Udayabhanu (Jaggaiahpet) are going strong where as Buddhaprasad (Avanigadda), Jogi Ramesh (Pedana), Perni Nani (Machilipatnam), Malladi Vishnu (Central) and Padma Jyothi (Tiruvur) are up against some serious challenge from both TDP and PRP nominees.

However, Prajarajyam’s Vangaveeti Radhakrishna in Central and Srinivas in West segment are looking confident and have fair chances of snatching the seats from their rivals. “The contest is very strong in six assembly segments where the Congress and TDP could share the honours,” a political observer from Tenali said.

“Anushka Is Better Than Chiranjeevi”

arundathi11240195043

The hot beauty Anushka is one girl who has been getting very famous, more than megastar Chiranjeevi himself. It is heard that recently, the famous director Kodi Ramakrishna was sharing his thoughts with a group of his close friends and he was talking about his movies.

Kodi is said to have mentioned that when he made ‘Anji’ with Chiranjeevi, the expectations were very high but the movie bombed miserably at the box office. On the other hand, when he made ‘Arundhati’ with Anushka, he was not that over confident and the result turned to be overwhelming.

Grapevine says that Kodi was saying stardom is just an eye wash and what really matters is presence and performance. That way he was said to be giving good scores to Anushka than Chiru himself. With a director of that caliber giving such ratings, it is indeed something to think of.

Krishnam Raju With Full Bottle And Chicken

krishnamrajujan180741237358335
With so much happening on the election front, it must be said that many have been looking at few key areas where some powerful candidates have been fighting with each other. One among that happens to be the Rajahmundry segment which has three big names – Undavalli, Murali Mohan and Krishnamraju for election on 23rd April.

While Undavalli seems to be ready with a plan by YS, Murali Mohan has been campaigning aggressively and is said to be spending quite a lot. But it looks like rebel star Krishnamraju seems to be in a very different mode of campaigning and different mood of contesting.

Although Krishnam Raju is campaigning for PRP’s sake, he is driving himself to relax as soon as possible in the evening. Sources close to him say that Krishnamraju has been quite keen on having a full bottle and good chicken than do some aggressive campaigning. As it is, the dissidence has been high in that area with the appointment of Krishnamraju so one hopes that the rebel star gets furious with his canvassing than full bottle and chicken.

Murali Mohan on the other hand is spending his evenings in chalking out plans for his next day.
