PRP Observers Having Tough Time with Fans

The Praja Rajyam observers have been visiting the districts across the State to collect opinions of the party activists and fans on the possible committees to be formed at different levels.

The PRP had nominated six-member team to each of the districts with one of them heading the team. In turn, the members have shared the Assembly segments and holding talks with the fans and the leaders. In districts like Krishna, Guntur and West Godavari, the observers are staying in star hotels, sponsored by the leading aspirants, who are either real estate operators or the NRIs.

Though there is not much a difficulty for these observers in collecting information, they are having tough time with the fans competing for the top posts.

The fans have been feeling that they are being sidelined by the party, while the politicians are unhappy with the presence of the fans. The disgruntled fans are now giving tough time to the observers asking them to recommend their names for the committees. Some of them are also mounting pressure on the observers to include their names in the probable candidates for the Assembly elections.

How will these observers complete their exercise under such pressures is a big question.

Cong MPs divided into groups!

Leave a reply

The ugly wordy duel between Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao and Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal over Telangana issue has virtually divided the Congress MPs into two rival camps.

Though the Congress high command has asked both VH and Lagadapati not to stretch the issue too far and forget it as an unfortunate development, it has become a topic of heated debate among the MPs.

While Lagadapati received support from MPs like Rayapati Sambasiva Rao, Vundavalli Arun Kumar and K S Rao, other MPs from Telangana including G Venkatswamy, Vithal Rao and Kesava Rao supported Hanumantha Rao and even lodged a complaint with the high command on the highhanded behaviour of Lagadapati. And VH also received a lot of support from the Opposition parties including TD, TRS and even the Left parties.

The incident also got a caste colour. Hanumantha Rao’s group is spreading the theory that he was humiliated only because he belonged to weaker sections. They are also blaming it on Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, since he has been the man behind Lagadapati. “If this humiliation continues, we will take it very seriously and launch an agitation,” a supporter of VH said.

Nandamuri family cannot be compared to NTR

The literary piece ‘’the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction’’ by noted Marxist scholar Walter Benzman has relevance to Andhra state politics.

Benzman opines that the value of photocopy (Xeroxing) is no match to the original art. For example, even if M.F.Hussain’s original art is valued at millions of rupees, the price of the photocopy of the same art would be available for just ten rupees whatever be the quality of the of the Xerox printing.

The value of NTR is massive and he commanded huge respect among Telugu people. Same can not be said about his children and grandchildren, who are seeking support from public as inheritors of his political legacy.

Just being his sons do not mean people respect them in the same way. The original NTR value is enormous but the same cannot be given to his Xerox copies i.e Balayya,Jr,NTR,Kalyanram and Tarakarathna.

If somebody is quoting his ancestors it indicates that he himself is worthless.

Tarak Gives Sleepless Nights to Chandrababu

Leave a reply

Ever since Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu started pursuing Nandamuri brothers to come to his rescue, he has been facing one or the other problem, mostly from the young hero from the clan, Tarak Rathna.

Tarak was angry with Chandrababu Naidu as he was not invited for the first two rounds of meetings held with the Nandamuri heroes. In addition, Tarak had raised objections to the way Chadrababu Naidu is giving importance to Junior NTR. According to the media reports, Tarak had protested against the ‘undue importance’ being given to Jr NTR, but remained silent after his Babayi intervened. Subsequently, Tarak was invited for the third meeting.

Since then, Tarak has been touring the State and his comments are creating tremors in the Telugu Desam. At Narasaraopet meeting, he had claimed that the Telugu Desam belonged to the Nandamuri family. At Tenali, he claimed that his Babayi, Balakrishna, would take over the TD soon. Now, in Nellore, Tarak made further more serious statement that Balayya would be the next Chief Minister.

Tarak’s statements reveal two things. The first thing is that his anger against Chandrababu Naidu for ignoring him for two meetings. The other thing is the possible hidden agenda that the Nandamuri brothers have in their minds, which the young hero is revealing it unknowingly.

Whatever the reason, Taraka Rathna’s statements have been making Chandrababu Naidu sleepless these days. In fact, the time has come to think whether his invitation to Nandamuri brothers is going help him or harm him.

Problems Of Balakrishna And Chiranjeevi

Leave a reply

Cinema and politics are two different ball games, this seems to have hit the heads of Megastar Chiranjeevi and Yuva Ratna Balakrishna according to news received from the sources close to him. Incidentally, the two among the Big Four are taking steps towards a new political career.

However, here is a hitch. Both of them seem to be suffering from some fundamental problems. Apparently, there is news that Chiru is not too aware of few fundamental concepts of politics and despite being explained on this, he tends not to focus and remains unconvinced.

On the other hand, Balayya has got sound knowledge in politics and is quick to grasp the concepts but then he has a major issue with expressing it. So while Chiru is suffering from fundamentals problem, Balayya is suffering from expression problem. Wonder how they will overcome it.
