“38 of PR’s 104 BC nominees bogus”

Former Praja Rajyam spokesperson Parkala Prabhakar on Sunday contested the party leaders’ claim that it has rendered “social justice” by fielding 104 BC candidates. He alleged that the status of at least 38 nominees was “bogus”, while addressing a press conference here on Sunday.

He said the party had included former Rajya Sabha member C. Ramachandraiah and Jalagam Srinivas among the list of BC candidates. It was not true that the PR had rendered “justice” to BCs, as none of the 38 candidates could be so categorised. “Social justice was like a prop for the party to enact drama,” he alleged.

Mr. Prabhakar claimed receiving threats after speaking against the party and declared that he would not be cowed down.

Referring to the party’s description as “kalpavruksham” by its leaders, he said it was indeed so for “owners” and not for people.

“For people it is a poisonous tree”.

‘PR misleading people’
He accused the party of “misleading” people by stating tickets were given on the basis of a “survey”.

He wanted to know which survey suggested that PR general secretary Allu Aravind be fielded from Anakapalle, while denying a ticket to three-time MLA Mathangi Narsaiah. He charged the party with putting up “weak candidates” in some constituencies to benefit other parties.

Ramanaidu denies joining Congress

Leave a reply

The presence of noted film-maker and former Telugu Desam MP from Bapatla Daggubati Ramanaidu at Gandhi Bhavan, the Congress headquarters, caused a flutter on Sunday.

He had come to the Congress headquarters to attend a function to release a book ‘Jaiho Jananetha Jaitra Yatra’ authored by film journalist Pasumarthy Nagendra Kumar by APCC Campaign Committee chairman K. Rosaiah.

The senior Congress leader handed over the first copy to Mr. Naidu. Approached by media personnel, he dismissed speculation of joining the Congress.

Mr. Ramanaidu clarified that he was no more in politics. Nevertheless, he said Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy was instrumental in getting land for the Ramanaidu and Padmalaya Studios.

‘Close to YSR’
Stating that he had close relationship with the Chief Minister, he pointed out that Dr. Reddy had offered land for a studio in Visakhapatnam, which was inaugurated recently by him.

Mr. Rosaiah said the book would help spread the message of good work done by the government.

Plea to stop telecast of Chiru, Balayya, NTR Junior films

chiru_jrntr1237195801
The Congress made a plea to Chief Electoral Officer I. V. Subba Rao here on Sunday to apply the ban imposed against telecast of “election matter” by TV channels to films of Chiranjeevi and other film heroes also belonging to TDP and other parties.

A delegation of the party, led by Ravi Shankar Jandhyala, member of the party’s campaign committee, met the CEO with the plea that the films of Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, and NTR Junior would influence the voters and therefore fit into the definition of the “election matter” cited in the Representation of People Act.

The delegation said Section 126 of the Act also imposed restrictions on screening of films and staging of cultural programmes, if undertaken as source of “entertainment and amusement” to influence voters in any form.

The CEO said that he would forward the representation to the EC for a decision.

Balayya’s fans work for victory of PR candidate!

Leave a reply

balagaj1237363023
Elections this time may have turned out to be a battle between two noted film families – one led by Chiranjeevi and the other Nandamuri family represented by < strong> NTR Jr. and Balakrishna.

But Srikakulam Assembly segment presents an altogether different picture where die-hard Balakrishna fans are working overtime for the victory of K. Nagarjuna alias Pratap of the Praja Rajyam (PR), while Mr. Chiranjeevi’s fans are keeping a distance. Mr. Pratap takes on Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao and senior TDP leader G. Appala Suryanarayana.

A realtor in town, Mr. Pratap is a Balakrishna fan, known for organising functions marking the release of every new film of his favourite star. His good work in conducting blood donation camps and other social events paid off when he secured ticket on behalf of the PR.

This however came as a jolt to Mr. Chiranjeevi’s fans in town. Peeved that a fan of the megastar was not given the ticket, a majority of them are keeping themselves away from the campaign. The news of Mr. Pratap’s selection as PR’s nominee has become a matter to rejoice for fans of Mr. Balakrishna who are happy that one of their associates had managed to secure a ticket, considered a difficult task.

Mr. Pratap’s supporters, however, make light of the differences claiming that all the youth are working for the victory of the PR. “He is known more as a man working for social cause than as Mr. Balakrishna’s fan,” says S. Ramesh, campaign agent of Mr. Pratap. With stalwarts from two major parties in the fray, Mr. Pratap is convincing voters to cast their ballot for the PR, for ‘change’, as his supporters are keeping their fingers crossed over his prospects in the face of the opposition they are facing from within.

babu23_160344125
K Ram Mohan Rao, a senior member of the Telegu Desam Party who is also the joint secretary of the state committee has predicted that the TDP would win not less than 180seats in the Assembly elections and about 35 seats in the LS elections this time around.

Though some may argue that these estimates look a bit over stretched, Mr Ram Mohan Rao is very confident and says that these estimates are based on preliminary reports that the party has gathered through its network in the state.

The TDP is leaving no stone unturned in its effort to win the elections and the party is very confident that, its record of good governance would come in handy in winning the following elections. Let us wait and watch if the TDP would translate its good image into votes this time around.

Interview Junior NTR Says ‘Rajasekhar Reddy is a great leader’

Leave a reply

ntr
Actor and Telugu Desam star campaigner Junior NTR said he did not have any personal political aspirations and only wanted to support the party his grandfather founded.

Junior NTR, who was laid up after a road mishap, was discharged from the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences in the early hours of Saturday.

He told this newspaper in an exclusive interview that he wanted to get back into campaign, but doctors had advised him to take rest for four weeks. Though he was campaigning for the TD, he said he considered the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, a great leader and Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi a great actor.

Exclusive Jr Ntr LIve Interview:

How is your health now?
I am recovering fast. Now that I am back home, I am feeling much better.

The TD and other Mahakutami leaders are eagerly waiting for your return. Will you be campaigning again?
It is not only the TD and Mahakutami. I too am looking to strike back, but I don’t think I will do it directly, because doctors want me to rest.

There is a talk that in case you are unable to campaign, your audio video recordings will be broadcast. Is it true?
Well… we are actually planning many things but haven’t decided on anything concrete yet.

Your campaign has evoked mixed reactions in the NTR family. While Naidu, Balakrishna and other family members sought your support, your aunt and Congress LS candidate, Daggubati Purandareswari, said you should not have been exposed so much.
I have a great respect for my aunt and the same for my uncles. It is just how each individual wants to see it. Film acting is my career and campaigning for the TD is my responsibility.

Among the NTR family stars, you are the most popular and have a large following. Does it create friction in family?
Why would it when everyone is happy with my success?

Will the huge turnout in your campaign ensure support for the Mahakutami?
Definitely. As a film star, this is not the first time I have attended a public meeting. I am experienced enough to know the difference between a public function and a political meeting. The responses for my political meetings was really captivating. And it will definitely turn out into a big support for Mahakutami.

Do you think people are seeking a change of government in AP?
By the response I got from the public, I am sure that people do seek a change in the government, because they have been through a lot of mess these five years. They have seen people losing lands, they have seen people losing lives… I am sure that people need a change. And the only choice is Mahakutami.

Do you want to emulate your grandfather NTR and become the Chief Minister one day?
Whatever I am today it is because of my grandfather’s blessings and my hard work. And I am here to fulfil my responsibility serving the party that he has founded. Apart from that, I do not have any personal aspirations to plunge into direct politics.

Did you ever feel that the TD should have gone it alone instead of joining hands with the Left and the TRS?
I am not a political analyst. But I think the decision to join hands with the Left parties and the TRS is a right move. It is just like combining all our strengths to defeat one big enemy. And when different forces unite, it is obvious that you will have petty problems. But they can be solved over a cup of coffee.

Do you endorse freebies like the cash transfer scheme, free power to farmers, free colour TVs and the like?
I foresee a great economic transformation through the cash transfer scheme. It will help the poorer sections to fight recession. And free colour TV will empower the rural masses through education and entertainment.

Are your family issues settled?
Were there any issues to be settled? I am happy with my family.

What’s your opinion about the Chief Minister and Chiranjeevi?
Dr Rajasekhar Reddy is a great leader in his own way. And Chiranjeevi is a great actor.

How’s your relationship with Chiranjeevi after your campaign in elections? What did he say when he called on you.
We all carry a sense of decency and decorum in keeping profession and politics separate. At a personal level, I do respect Chiranjeevi garu as an actor.

Were you driving the car when the road accident occurred?
I was not driving the car. Since it was a sharp curve, the vehicle couldn’t control itself. I heard that more than 400 accidents took place in the same area.

How many films of yours are on the floor?
I do one film at a time and don’t want to rush. Right now, I am doing a film with Mr V.V. Vinayak which is going to be my next release.

Lok Satta To Become National Party By 2014

Leave a reply

whistle
The Lok Satta party that has been started by the former IAS officer Jayaprakash Narayan is slowly but steadily inching its way into the public. The reason for this happens to be the members who come from educated classes and have a vision with a mission to serve the society and bring about a responsible change in the community and the thoughts of the people.

Political experts have made it clear that Lok Satta have got the best party agenda amongst the existing ones. This time, the canvassing and publicity campaigns have brought in good results in terms of awareness towards the party.

The corporate people and those coming from decent backgrounds of education have been appealed by the doctrines of JP and say that though he may not be a good leader, he sure has the initiative to make things different unlike the regular corrupted politicians.

While the election analysts say that the Lok Satta party might be gaining around 6-7% of the seats this time, they are positive that the party will make its presence felt strongly by the next term of 2014 not just in the state but also in the center. It is about time JP realizes the growth and response to his party and focuses on grooming more leaders from his party which has been lacking in Lok Satta.

This seems to be the beginning for a new era of politics and one hopes that JP does not get polluted by the vices of politics and works for the betterment of the society and also make his mark in the National level.
