I’m more popular than NTR: Chiru

Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi calls on spiritual leader the Dalai Lama who arrived in Hyderabad on Monday. 

Praja Rajyam Party (c) founder Chiranjeevi claimed that he was wielding more popularity than the Telugu Desam Party founder NT Rama Rao.He, however, cautioned the party activists not to bank entirely on his charisma. If anything unexpected happens in the elections, it would be the responsibility of party workers, he warned.Addressing the meeting of seven district committees of the PRP here today, Chiranjeevi said that he had gained much popularity than NTR. “Senior leaders like P Upendra and others who witnessed NTR’s campaign in 1982 told me that the popularity I am enjoying is much more than what NTR enjoyed,’’ the actor-turned politician said. The PRP had already constituted district committees well before the elections, he said and wanted the party leaders to mingle with the people.“You have to ensure poll victory for the PRP,’’ Chiranjeevi told the party leaders. He directed district leaders to constitute booth and village-level committees and directed the cadre to popularise the Rs 100 package and free power to artisans and farmers, the schemes so far announced by the PRP.Launching a scathing attack on the Congress Government, Chiranjeevi said that the State went bankrupt during Rajasekhara Reddy’s regime. He directed the party leaders to highlight corruption in the Government. He expressed confidence that youth were the main strength of his party, who were thronging to his meetings in large numbers.PRP spokesman Mitra said that they were conducting surveys in all the Assembly segments and eliciting the opinions of the public to finalise the party candidates in the next elections.

Cong. cheating people onTelangana issue: PRP

Hyderabad (PTI): Telugu actor and Chiranjeevi's youngest brother Pavan Kalyan on Tuesday lashed out at Congress for deceiving people of Telangana on carving out a separate state.
Launching his four-day tour of Karimnagar district today, Pavan Kalyan, who is also the president of Praja Rajyam Party's youth wing Yuva Rajyam, said the Congress had one body but 1000 heads that spoke in different voices.
"One head favours Telangana while one sings the development song. Yet another head speaks a different voice. The party, that rode to power on the promise of granting statehood for Telangana region, has conveniently ignored the issue and cheated the people of the region," Pavan Kalyan alleged.
He also said the Congress lacked clarity on the Telangana issue. "It is, however, clear only one issue: not granting statehood for the region," Pavan Kalyan said.
Even the pro-Telangana outfit, Telangana Rashtra Samiti, failed to achieve anything for the region in the last four-and-a-half years.
"TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao launched a fast-unto-death near Jantar-Mantar in New Delhi vowing to achieve statehood for Telangana. But he could hardly sit on the fast for half-a-day," the Yuva Rajyam chief ridiculed.
He assured the people of the region that Praja Rajyam Party, if voted to power, would pass a resolution in the State Legislature for creation of Telangana.
"Only the PRP is very clear on the Telangana issue. We shall respect the wishes of the people of the region and leave no effort to fulfil their wishes," Pavan Kalyan promised.
Earlier, he visited the famous Hanuman temple at Kondagutta near Karimnagar and offered prayers before embarking on his tour.

Chiru promises secure State for women

HYDERABAD: Promising safety to women, Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi promised to take steps to establish special courts and more women police stations, if voted to power.Addressing a State-level meet of the party’s women wing, Mahila Rajyam, here today, he urged the women activists of the party to fight against women molesters, and told them that they need not take his permission for taking up such programmes. Chiranjeevi assured that top priority would be accorded to women in the distribution of party tickets. The meeting was attended by a large number of women activists from various districts. However, failure of power supply brought the meeting to an abrupt end.Interacting with the participants, Chiranjeevi lamented that women were not safe under the Congress rule and pointed out that Mayor of Nellore Corporation and also Union Minister of State for Health Panabaka Lakshmi were being harassed in the party.Many women narrated their tales of woe and urged Chiranjeevi to step in to address them. Assuring to take up their problems, Chiranjeevi said that he bonded well with women and said that even the heroines in his films felt secure with him.

Go to grassroots to educate electorate: Chiru

Hyderabad, January 20: Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi on Monday exhorted party leaders to galvanise cadres and get them ready for the elections.

He addressing members of various committees from seven districts Krishna, Kurnool, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Nellore, Nizamabad and East Godavari at a day-long motivation workshop organised for them at Shilpa Kala Vedika here.

He wanted the party leaders to go to the grassroots and educate people about the party’s agenda of ‘change and social justice’. “Get to work as if the polls are tomorrow or the day after. Do not wait for instructions from the leadership. You are aware of people’s problems and the solutions PR is offering for their alleviation,” he said.

Referring to criticism from other parties that the PR had no concrete programmes, he said, “Who are they to ask me? A hungry man first needs food and I have plans to do just that. Then I will get work on agriculture, power and welfare. We have brains working on these sectors and chalking out plans. I promise that every programme of the Praja Rajyam will be to help the poor.”

Mr. Chiranjeevi asked party leaders not to be disturbed by criticism from political opponents. In just seven months, the PR was able to gain the trust of the people, so much so, other parties were getting jittery. “Praja Rajyam is surely an alternative in the State,” he said.

Enrolment sought

Pawan Kalyan, president, Yuva Rajyam, has sought enrolment of an estimated 29 lakh youth as voters to ensure their participation in the election process and offered his party’s services to do this job at college and university level. I. V . Subba Rao, Chief Electoral Officer, to whom Mr. Pawan submitted a memorandum on Monday, responded by promising to enlist maximum number of youths under the special drive ‘Young Tarang’ that began in the State but was disinclined to take assistance from any party.

Mr. Pawan proposed that the Election Commission should reward heads of educational institutions, including universities, with awards for enrolling large number of students.

Speaking to reporters later, Mr. Pawan said PR had already stated that it would introduce a bill in the Assembly for formation of Telangana if it was voted to power. He said he would not contest Assembly/Parliament elections and continue to work as party activist. On the description of PR as a “bubble” by TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, he said “he might have remarked so out of fear of PR”.

Telangana issue being used for political advantage

Former BJP president Bangaru Laxman on Monday alleged that some political parties in the region were using the Telangana statehood issue for their survival.

Coming down heavily on TRS and NTP, he said “Formation of Telangana will become a reality if these parties support the BJP. The survival of these parties will be at stake if a separate state is formed. That is why they are joining hands with other parties,” said Mr. Laxman while speaking to reporters at Patancheru.

Expressing confidence that the BJP would come into power in the next general elections and form Telangana state within 100 days, Mr. Laxman said that the party would be a formidable force in the State also.

Accusing the government of generated revenue of Rs. 3,000 crore by selling lands in Medak district, the BJP leader said that the problems in the district could be addressed even if the government spent 10 per cent of that amount.

Advani, Modi visit

BJP president L.K. Advani would visit Coastal Andhra in the second week of February whereas Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi would visit Telangana at the same time.

Karimnagar Staff Reporter writes: District leaders of the BJP sat on a ‘satyagraha’ in front of the Collectorate on Monday highlighting the promise made by its leader L.K. Advani about formation of Telangana state within 100 days after attaining power at Centre.

BJP senior leader Ch. Vidyasagar Rao, BJP Kisan Morcha State president P. Sugunakar Rao, district party secretary B. Jaganmohan Rao and other party leaders including T. Harikumar Goud, Bandi Sanjay, D. Sridhar, Choppari Venu, Ranjith were also present. All the participants wore labels of ‘Telangana 100’ and raised the slogans of ‘Jai Telangana’.

Reiterate party stand

Reiterating that the BJP alone could give separate Telangana state, the BJP leaders said that the party was committed to formation of smaller states unlike Congress party, which betrayed the people of Telangana after being elected on Telangana sentiment. They called upon the people to teach a fitting lesson to the Congress and the TRS for betraying the people.

They said that they would further intensify their movement by visiting each and every village with the slogan of ‘Telangana 100’ and expose the true colours of Congress and TRS.

They also said that the Telangana would be possible only with the national party and ridiculed the TDP-TRS alliance.

Telangana Congress leaders clueless

Congress leaders from Telangana appear to be at a loss on how to proceed further after the Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy categorically asserted in New Delhi on Tuesday that the party would fare very well in the next elections in spite of the TRS, TDP and the Left joining hands.

His stand has not gone down well with the Congress seniors from the region who are now exercising their minds to find a way to convince the electorate while awaiting the high command’s views on the issue before the polls.

Srinivas upset

APCC president D. Srinivas, who has been nursing the hope that the party would be able to bring back the TRS into the Congress fold, is said to be upset with the development.

Sources close to the APCC president said that the high command needs to take stock of the ground reality instead of going by the feedback it was getting from the Chief Minister. He was reported to have said that the party had to change its strategy to woo the voters in wake of Dr. Reddy’s firm assertion that the party would do well in Telangana despite the grand alliance and win more than 40 seats.

He is understood to have remarked that it was now for the Chief Minister to devise a strategy to influence the voters of the region. “Without a firm announcement from the high command, the party cannot perform well in the region,” he reportedly remarked.

Party seniors from the region were still trying to pressure the high command to see the reality after the party’s debacle in the ZPTC elections to Makloor seat in Nizamabad where the TDP-TRS combine romped home. They pointed out that it was necessary for the leadership to understand the ground reality and take suitable steps to convince the voters.

PRP package to strengthen social security

The Praja Rajyam has described the Rs. 100 package for essentials announced by its president Chiranjeevi as a step aimed to strengthen social security as guaranteed by the Constitution.

The party leader Katti Padma Rao told a press conference here on Wednesday that the measure would boost the confidence of poor women who were hoping to improve the living conditions of their families.

They could spend just one day’s wage on provisions for a whole month while using their earnings during the period on education, clothing and shelter.

The package would check the dropout rate in schools which had peaked to 36 per cent as poor families sent their children to work to make a livelihood.

At a separate press conference, leader of the women’s wing of Praja Rajyam B. Sobha Nagi Reddy announced committees for women in the party in six districts.

Satyam chief admits fraud, quits

Byrraju Ramalinga Raju resigned as chairman of Satyam Computers, India’s fourth largest Information Technology company, on Wednesday after admitting to the Board of Directors that the accounts were fudged to the tune of Rs. 7,106 crore over a period of “several years.”

Before stepping down, Mr. Raju recommended Ram Mynampati, Board Member and president, as interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO), to run the show.

The 53-year-old business tycoon quit ahead of a crucial meeting of the Board of Directors on January 10. It climaxed a turbulent period of three weeks when the company was plunged into a crisis following an aborted attempt to acquire Maytas Infra and Maytas Properties, promoted by Mr. Raju’s sons, on December 16.

Markets reacted virulently to Mr. Raju’s admission of hiding several facts from the board and the stakeholders. Satyam’s stock nosedived on the Bombay Stock Exchange to an all-time low of Rs. 39.95 losing 77.69 per cent, though it opened at Rs. 188.70. Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) chairman C.P. Bhave described Mr. Raju’s disclosure as an event of “horrifying magnitude.”

In his five-page letter to the Directors, Mr. Raju confessed that the company’s balance sheet had inflated cash and bank balances of Rs. 5,040 crore which never existed and an accrued interest of Rs. 376 crore which was also non-existent. Also, a liability of Rs. 1,230 crore was understated and debtor position of Rs. 490 crore “overstated”.

The Satyam chief said, “the gap in the balance sheet has arisen purely on account of inflated profits over a period of last several years.” Every attempt made to eliminate the gap failed, he said and apologised to all “Satyamites and stakeholders.”

Barring Chief Financial Officer Srinivas Vadlamani, Mr. Raju gave a “clean chit” to the top executives, board members and also his and his brother’s families. (His brother, B. Rama Raju, also resigned as Managing Director and CEO of Hyderabad’s IT Bellwether.) “Neither me, nor the Managing Director took even one rupee/dollar from the company and have not benefited in financial terms on account of the inflated results,” he said.

Meanwhile, SEBI was in touch with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to take all necessary steps against the 21-year-old company which employs 53,000 and has operations in 65 countries serving 185 Fortune 500 companies. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ordered a preliminary inquiry by the CID whether the State government could initiate any criminal action.

Dr. Reddy wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to constitute a management team comprising Azim Premji of Wipro, N.R. Narayana Murthy of Infosys and S. Ramadorai of TCS to manage the affairs of Satyam to restore the confidence of the global customers so that the interests of employees and other stakeholders were protected. This arrangement could be in place till a credible alternative management was put in place. Auditing firm DSP Merrill Lynch on Wednesday terminated its engagement with the company soon after Mr. Raju announced his resignation. Mr. Raju said he would continue in his position “only till such time the current board is expanded.”

A PTI report said Mr. Raju is believed to have left for the U.S. in connection with a court case.

Men are habitually done in by one of the three Ws—wine, women or wealth—but Byarraju Ramalinga Raju’s downfall came via an earthier route: an

insatiable hunger for land.

After returning to India in 1977 with an MBA from Ohio, the 1954-born Raju started a spinning mill—a business that broke away from the family’s agricultural tradition. The farmer’s son wanted to be different, and that desire marked his spectacular rise and fall in corporate India.

After the mill, he went into the construction business, but it was not brick-and-mortar that seduced him. In the late eighties, information technology was a new frontier, still faint but shiny, and one that drew the daredevil in Raju. In 1987, Satyam Computer Services was born, and all his previous ventures were stamped with the same high-sounding name, whose meaning, ‘truth’, is being endlessly mocked in editorials today.

Satyam showed it had serious smarts in 1992, when, in what was touted as the first offshore deal, it got work from a tractor company, John Deere, in Illinois. Aware that the telecom links between India and US were most inadequate, he set up an office of 50 engineers right next to the John Deere building. Nicknamed Little India, it swiftly executed the tractor company’s contract with no physical contact, simply by keeping the 64 kbps lines between the buildings humming.

In the meantime, the construction firm and spinning mill were liquidated and Satyam launched its first public issue. By 1999, when the Y2K bug threatened a digital apocalypse, Satyam had widely known as an IT titan with subsidiaries like Satyam China, Satyam Japan, Dr Millennium and Satyam Infoway or Sify. The last named company was listed on the Nasdaq in 2001 and the next year Satyam was on the New York Stock Exchange.

All the millions that computers brought him, Raju poured into buying land in Hyderabad, which was then still a provincial town. Most of the shopping was in a locality called Medchal, on the city’s outskirts. Soon, he was a formidable landlord—although the holdings were not in his name. He cannily befriended Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, who proudly paraded him before President Bill Clinton like a trophy baron of a progressive state. Naidu and Raju fed off each other, the one drawing on the other, leading a Naxalite to comment that if Raju’s land holdings were forfeited, there would be enough to satisfy the impoverished farmers of Telangana. Nobody took any notice: Raju’s IT credentials were overpowering.

But the wheels of democracy turned and when Y S Rajasekhara Reddy came to power in 2004, the friends of Naidu were given short shrift. But Raju was able to befriend Reddy, after he is said to have paid a ‘‘hefty penalty’’ to atone for being a Naidu loyalist. What the penalty was no one knows. But Reddy’s policies of boosting realty around Hyderabad suited Raju perfectly. Land prices spiralled, Raju grew richer. Owning land became an obsession. ‘‘He was intoxicated for land. He began to liquidate his shareholdings in Satyam to buy land,’’ says a Hyderabad businessman. All the promoter shareholdings that were consolidated in 2006 were pledged to banks, and Rs 1200 crore raised. Every last cent went into the soil.

By now, Raju was seriously considering selling Satyam and making Maytas—the company he started in 1988 and which is Satyam spelt backwards—his mainstay. Maytas was being looked after by his sons, but land was such an exciting business, Raju felt. Speculation of IBM taking over began to grow, and according to a Satyam employee, the deal fell through only because the price was not right.

The higher you go, the harder you fall, and the intimations of mortality came when Raju was at his peak. In July last year, Maytas won the contract to build the Hyderabad metro. What everybody found startling was Maytas’s offer to pay cash up front whereas all the other bidders had asked for ‘viability gap’ funding. Maytas’s consultant, the venerable E Sreedharan of the Delhi metro, who had been kept in the dark, cried foul. He said that this was nothing but a real-estate decoy, that a ‘deal’ had been struck to extend the metro’s proposed route, and that Raju, with insider information, was cornering land along the extension.

Sreedharan’s assertions—true as they were—bounced off Teflon Raju. But then the global slowdown washed up on the shores of India. Land prices hollowed out, as did share prices. Once pledged at around Rs 800 a piece, Satyam shares were now much less, and moneylenders began to reel in the credit line. This time, Raju had nothing and no one to turn to. His shares were a pile of paper, the land holdings a vast brown elephant. The son of the soil was ultimately done in by his overweening greed for land. 

Independent director on the Satyam Board T. R. Prasad wants to wait as the “shocking developments” are still unfolding in the company, while the single largest stakeholder Aberdeen Asset Management company preferred silence.

Mr. Prasad said: “The unfolding developments in the company are shocking. I cannot comment at this juncture. Let the situation unfold and we will know more.” ISB Dean M. Rammohan Rao, who resigned as independent director recently, said: “It has been deeply disturbing for me to read the news reports this morning. I am stunned by this revelation.”

Adrian Lim of Aberdeen Asset Management Company declined to comment. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, the third single largest stakeholder in Satyam, said: “This certainly is an unprecedented event. As a long term fund manager, we have strong risk management controls which ensure that there is adequate diversification in the portfolio with negligible concentration risk at any point of time.”

The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) has expressed “deep shock and disappointment” over financial irregularities that happened at Satyam Computers and suggested setting up of a special committee to investigate the entire issue so that culprits are identified and brought to book.

IDC Country manager Kapil Dev Singh foresaw wider connotations for the industry in general and IT/ITeS industry in particular. The series of incidents is quite shocking in the face of what appeared to be an impeccable company and source of hope and aspirations for the stakeholders until a few months ago. “The term ‘business ethics’ has never been so badly abused in India as this incident,” he said.

He alone is the most sensible of all the persons that we see in the various political parties. He alone is sincere. He does not oppose for the sake of opposing. He supports where support is required to strengthen democracy. He is a sane person with tremendous administrative experience. As a district collector, he worked closely with people and political persons and knows problems, conflicts of intersts and solutions, at first hand. Above all, he is truly selfless.

PRP announces First scheme towards poor people will provide provisions for Rs. 100

For the first time, Praja Rajyam announced a scheme — provisions for Rs. 100 — to woo the voters. The scheme will come into effect immediately after the party comes into power in the State, said party president K. Chiranjeevi.

Addressing a public meeting at Venkatagiri Rajas College Grounds here on Monday, he said the package includes 25 kg of rice, 1 kg of yellow gram (dal), 1 kg of oil, half kg salt and tamarind for Rs. 100. Praja Rajyam has decided to implement the scheme to provide food for all who are suffering from hunger, said Mr. Chiranjeevi to the applauding public.

“I know the hunger of the poor and some lakhs of people are affected by the hike in prices of essential commodities and vegetables. Praja Rajyam will put pressure on the State and Central governments for bringing down the prices,” he said.

Film actor K. Naga Babu, MLC and Praja Rajyam district co-convenor M. Dwarakanath and others attended the meeting.

Earlier, addressing a public meeting at the RTC bus stand in Podalakuru near here as part of the ongoing ‘Praja Ankita Yatra’, Mr. Chiranjeevi said the party will set up training institutes and industries at the village level and provide employment to educated youth. He alleged that the Congress government was cheating farmers, weavers, women and youth in the State with its corrupt rule. He said only the Praja Rajyam, which was committed to serving the poor, would be able to provide a corruption-free government in the State.

Congress criticised

The Congress, which claimed to be a farmer-friendly party, was taking thousands of acres of fertile lands from farmers in the name of irrigation projects and Special Economic Zones and not even providing proper relief and rehabilitation package in any district, he alleged.

He said the party will strive for ‘grama swarajyam’ which will speed up rural development. The Praja Rajyam will give powers to all the gram panchayats after coming to power and decentralise the system so that the Panchayat Raj bodies can take decisions on their own for developing infrastructure in rural areas.

He performed prayers at the Kasumuru Dargah in Venkatachalam mandal in the district and addressed public meetings at Muthukur and Nellore.

PRP strong among youth: Vangaveeti Radhakrishna

January 5th 2009 - VIJAYAWADA: Vijayawada East MLA Vangaveeti Radhakrishna on Sunday came in defence of the critical statements made by Yuva Rajyam president Pawan Kalyan against the Congress leaders in the State. He said that those statements were made out of “anguish” and they were to a large extent true.

The MLA asserted that the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) would give a fitting response in case of any future attacks on their party offices or leaders. He appealed to the rival parties not to provoke the PRP cadres, as they were largely peaceful till now. “We have to think about taking a tough stand. I appeal to them to think before making such attacks,” he added.

In the presence of Mr. Radhakrishna, hundreds of Congress followers from One Town joined the PRP. The leaders who followed the MLA included Mr. Aslam and scores of his followers. One Gadi Lakshmaiah from the CPI and several other leaders also joined the PRP on the occasion. Welcoming them into the party fold, Mr. Radhakrishna said that the youth were particularly enthusiastic and happy about the activities of the PRP. He reiterated that the PRP’s main strength was going to be young people and their outright support to the party. With the joining of Mr. Aslam, the party gained a lot of strength in One Town.

Mr. Radhakrishna expressed happiness over the support coming from various quarters and the party was in a position to make use of this to increase its strength in the politically active city. He said that the party leadership was forward-looking in encouraging young people.

Welcome development

Mr. Radhakrishna felt that under the leadership of Mr. Chiranjeevi, the party was attracting support and gaining strength from people cutting across caste, community and age barriers. It was a welcome development for the PRP at a time when its strength was being accepted all over the State, he added. The newly-joined activists raised slogans and garlanded their leaders at the PRP office at Sikhamani Centre on Route No 5. Several women activists also accepted the PRP membership at the venue.

Mr. Radhakrishna felt that under the leadership of Mr. Chiranjeevi, the party was attracting support and gaining strength from people cutting across caste, community and age barriers. It was a welcome development for the PRP at a time when its strength was being accepted all over the State, he added. The newly-joined activists raised slogans and garlanded their leaders at the PRP office at Sikhamani Centre on Route No 5. Several women activists also accepted the PRP membership at the venue.

Road shows: Praja Rajyam to move court

The Praja Rajyam is putting together a case to move the High Court seeking certain relaxations in the guidelines imposed by the Director-General of Police for conducting road shows.

Like most other parties, the Praja Rajyam too had welcomed the interim orders of the High Court on December 30 banning road shows by political parties and asking them to follow the guidelines laid down by the DGP.

Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi told The Hindu that while it was surely a relief, the DGP’s conditions appeared to be tough. “We find the conditions harsh. However, we will follow the law. But, as we have been legally given the option of moving the court again in the event of the DGP’s conditions being unfair, we will take legal recourse,” he said.

Asked about the modifications for his tour of Nellore and Prakasam districts from January 4, the megastar-turned-politician said, the party was still working out how best it could use the opportunity. “We have given the district police a list of our vehicles. We don’t wish to put the general public to any inconvenience, but it is the job of the police to regulate the vehicles,” he said.
Visibility

Mr. Chiranjeevi said his tour managers were trying to chalk out a plan that would give maximum visibility to the public while still not putting anybody to inconvenience. But there were things like whether travelling on top of his ‘Praja Ankitha Ratham’ and waving to the crowds could be a violation or not, he said.

Countdown for Congress govt in AP has begun: Narayana

The countdown for the exit of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government in Andhra Pradesh has begun, CPI state secretary K Narayana said today.
“The results of bypolls are generally in favour of the ruling party. But Congress suffered a setback in the Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) bypolls. The countdown for the exit of this government has begun. Congress will be defeated in the ensuing elections,”he told reporters here.

The assembly elections in the state are scheduled to be held in April along with Lok Sabha polls.

In the ZPTC bypolls, Congress and TDP have won three seats each, while Chiranjeevi&aposs Praja Rajyam emerged victorious in one seat.

Narayana held talks with CPI(M) state secretary B V Raghavulu on the alliance between the two parties. Both the parties have already entered into an electoral understanding with the TDP.

Raghavulu said the outcome of the ZPTC elections are an indicator of the growing anti-incumbency in the state.

Ponnala calls Chiru a betrayer

The Praja Rajyam leader Chiranjeevi who eulogised British rule in India ought to be labelled as a betrayer of the country, Major Irrigation Minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah said on Sunday.

Addressing a press conference here , the Minister said Mr. Chiranjeevi was misleading people by repeatedly calling for change.

“What happened to the One crore saplings? Where did his party workers plant them?. Any idea?” Mr Lakshmaiah sought to know.

The PR leader who said that there was no need for new projects in Warangal and that the Pranahita Chevella project was aimed at making money, while visiting Ranga Reddy district promises to complete the Pranahita Chevella in five years.

He lacked in consistency and basic knowledge. He should apologise to people for misleading them.

“He keeps a big portrait of Mahatma Gandhi behind him and talks great about British Raj. What should such a man be called? Is he not a betrayer?” the Minister pointed out.

Referring to the resignations of two Ministers, Mr. Lakshmaiah said it was sad to lose portfolio but then they deserved appreciation for giving up their jobs owning moral responsibility.

He said the Opposition parties should tender apology to the public for misleading them on ongoing irrigation projects and rehabilitation package extended by the State government.

The Minister found fault with the visit of TDP, CPI, CPI (M) and TRS leaders to Nalgonda and TDP leaders’ visit to Yellampalli.
Politicising

The CAG report in its final recommendations did not mention about the Yellampalli project, but the TDP leaders were politicising the issue only for political gains.

“For the first time in the history of the country, the Andhra Pradesh government acquired 4.5 lakh acres of land of the six lakh acres required for the irrigation projects with the consent of the farmers.

There is not a single dispute in court,” the Minister pointed out.

The Opposition parties were instigating farmers against the State government. The projects were being delayed with the attitude of the political parties which were feeling threatened of their existence.

Mr. Lakshmaiah said the government had been stating that the Opposition parties were obstructing the Jalayagnam programme, but they denied doing it.

The visit of leaders to Nalgonda and Yellampalli and provoking the farmers were aimed at stalling the ongoing projects. The farmers were happy with the compensation being paid by the State government, but the political leaders were forcing them not to accept and demand more.

Referring to Yellampalli, the Minister said Public Accounts Committee Chairman Y. Ramakrishnudu was unnecessarily making an issue. Being chairperson of PAC, he bunked meeting four times while his colleague Nagam Janardhan Reddy was trying for cheap publicity at the site.

“The activities of TDP and other leaders are only aimed at demoralising the government and officials.

It is sad,” the Minister lamented stating that parties which fail to function as constructive opposition should not exist.

Do I Look Like A Blood Seller: Chiranjeevi

The Praja Rajyam president, Chiranjeevi ridiculed the allegations of the Congress that he was selling blood. “Do I look like a blood-seller?” he asked as the crowd laughed.

The actor-turned-politician was addressing a public meeting at Sullurpet in Nellore district during the third phase of his Praja Ankita Yatra on Sunday. Chiranjeevi claimed that the Congress was jealous of the public response to his road shows.

“That is why they are making baseless allegations against me,” he said. The Praja Rajyam leader said that his blood bank had won an award at the national level and defended the criticism levelled by his brother Pavan Kalyan against the Congress. “You should chase away Congress leaders. What is wrong in exposing the misdeeds of political leaders? In the Assembly, they use vulgar language and call names and compare each other with animals. Our prime agenda is to bring about change in the society with a corruption-free rule,” the Praja Rajyam leader said. He alleged that ever since the launch of his party, the Congress was creating hurdles like putting restrictions on road shows. “By banning road shows, the Congress has temporarily succeeded in separating me from my mothers, sisters and brothers. But, we will win. The more they suppress Praja Rajyam, the more it will bounce back,” he said. He announced that the PR would cancel the SEZs in the state if it came to power.

Recalling the success of his Pulivendula tour, he said: “I twirled my moustache and slapped my thigh on public demand. My gesture reflected the will and aspirations of the people of Pulivendula. I don’t need any passport or visa to come to my people,” he said. Chiranjeevi complained that the Congress was filing false cases against PR activists. “Even if I greet the people, it is considered a crime,” he said. The PR chief claimed that while the Congress had muscle and money power he had the support of his fans. He also took a dig at the Telugu Desam and said: “Great leaders like Pucchalapalli Sundaraiah cycled their way to the Assembly. The present day leaders are throwing away cycles and are moving in Merecedes Benz.” He also recalled the sacrifices made by Potti Sriramulu during the meeting.

Chiranjeevi: we will fill the vacuum in Andhra Pradesh

Praja Rajyam will provide clean and honest governance in Andhra Pradesh, party leader and actor-turned politician, Chiranjeevi, said here on Saturday.

“The people are looking for an alternative political force. When it comes to transparency and honesty, there is a vacuum. We will fill the vacuum…the people have decided to vote for Praja Rajyam,” he told The Hindu on arrival from Hyderabad.

Asked whether any decision was taken on the alliance factor ahead of the general elections, he said his party had its options open. “We are very confident. The people want good governance which we can provide. Our primary objective is to root out corruption in Andhra Pradesh…we will achieve it.”

Mr. Chiranjeevi said the party’s organisational set-up will be established in all districts by the third week of January. “We have already appointed functionaries in many districts …it is only a matter of time before Praja Rajyam office-bearers are nominated all over the State.”

Referring to the brain drain in that State, he said thousands of engineers had gone to United States and other countries because there was no adequate or suitable job opportunity here. “We will create an environment that will not only provide competent jobs for young engineers but also bring back those who had gone abroad. The strength of my party is truthfulness. The people are with us,” he added.

Hundreds of fans and party workers, including many women, received Mr. Chiranjeevi at the airport.

TDP launches ‘Jana Chaitanya Yatras’ in vizayanagaram

TDP Polit Bureau member P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju on Saturday appealed to people in the 9th ward here to support the party in the forthcoming elections.

Launching the party’s Praja Chaitanya Yatra on Saturday, Mr. Ashok said their support to the TDP would help it to solve their problems. Already, due to the lopsided policies of the present municipal administration, people in the town had been facing severe drinking water shortage, poor sanitation and street lighting.

Mr. Ashok, who arrived in the ward at 10.30 a.m., went door-to-door and met people. Councillor K. Surya Prabhavati, TDP State secretary P. Kanaka Mahalakshmi and other councillors accorded him a warm welcome.

TDP president Y. Ramana Murty said the party had in the past organised ‘Vada vadala and palle palleku .

Town committee president I.V.P. Raju and others participated.

YSR asked me quit: Maganti Babu

Maganti Venkateswara Rao, who submitted his resignation as Minister for Minor Irrigation on Friday night, said that he took the step on a direction from Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

Mr. Rao whose resignation after the drubbing received by the Congress in the ZPTC byelections in Denduluru, said he contemplated to put in his papers owning moral responsibility when the Chief Minister asked him to step down.

“My decision and his (Dr. Reddy’s) directive are just a coincidence,” he said refusing to comment on the speed with which his resignation was accepted.

The MLA told The Hindu that he was planning to quit from his Assembly membership, but would take a final decision after consulting his followers. Mr. Rao attributed the defeat of the Congress partly to the government as Denduluru ZPTC comprised Kolleru villages where implementation of rehabilitation package for fishermen displaced after dismantling of the fish ponds as part of Operation Kolleru was delayed. And, the affected families voted against the Congress.

‘Kammas distanced’

He was supportive of the view that the Congress government had distanced the Kamma community to which he belonged. “I represented the issue to the Chief Minister some time ago with a request to give due representation for Kammas,” he said.

Rivalries

Mr. Rao highlighted the need for reining in group rivalries at the district level. “Take our (West Godavari) district for instance, a section of MLAs who enjoy direct access to the Chief Minister are running a parallel show and this is likely to impact the party’s prospects in the coming elections.”

Shabbir Ali a bootlegger: Praja Rajyam

The Praja Rajyam party today launched a counter-attack on the Congress for the personal critisism against its youth wing leader Pawan Kalyan.

Speaking at separate press conferences here today, party political spokesperson C Ramachandraiah, senior leader Khalil Basha, ideologue Kathi Padma Rao and a few women activists attacked Minority Welfare Minister Mohd Shabbir Ali, and actor couple Rajasekhar and Jeevita.

Ramachandraiah and Basha said Shabbir Ali had betrayed the oath of office that he would protect the properties of the State.

“The minister ordered sale of 100 acres of wakf property at Manikonda for Rs 427 crore and the amount went into the State’s treasury instead of the Wakf Board.’’ They also alleged that the minister had received kickbacks from Lanco Industries head Lagadapati Rajagopal.

“In Visakhapatnam about 1,300 acres of land was alienated to the Hindujas when Shabbir Ali was minister of wakf in 1994. At that time the Hindujas were asked to pay Rs 2.25 lakh per acre and they paid about Rs 37 crore for 300 acres. The present regime gave on a platter the remaining 1,000 acres at the old rate, they alleged.

In Vijayawada the previous Congress government had tried to alienate hundreds of acres of wakf land to private persons but had to retreat in the face of strong protest from the minority community.

They completed that job now, the PRP leaders charged.

Basha said Muslim religious leaders had issued a fatwa against Shabbir Ali.

Among the other charges against the government was that it did not issue the caste certificate to a single Muslim student which was necessary for getting the benefit of reservation in educational institutions.

The PRP leaders alleged that Shabbir Ali was a bootlegger and was caught while transporting teakwood illegally and his name was there in the list of those who have a bad history being published by the Lok Satta. He even diverted Haj pilgrims quota granted by the Centre to travel agents, they said.

PRP’s women leaders Nirmala Reddy and Indira Reddy warned film artiste and Congress leader Jeevita that they would had to dig into her past if she repeated personnel insinuations against Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan.

Jeevita was making the allegations to hide the differences in her own family, they said.Ø Kathi Padma Rao challenged the Congress to prove Pawan’s allegations wrong.

“If they can do it, I would gift them a crore of rupees.’’ He pledged that the party would stand behind Pawan Kalyan in his fight against corrupt Congress leaders. The PRP, if voted to power, would constitute a commission to inquire into the corruption of Congress leaders, he said.

Roja flays Pawan Kalyan

Telugu Mahila President Roja on Saturday lashed out at the Yuva Rajyam president Pawan Kalyan and appealed him to first learn speak in a respectable manner before hitting out at other political party leaders.

Talking to media persons Roja said that she was ready to contest from any Assembly segment in the State if her party so decides. In reply to a question she said that the Telugu Desam Party shall definitely allocate 33 per cent of the Assembly seats to women in the ensuing elections.

Taking a dig at the ruling Congress party she said that women have no protection in the State if the recent ghastly acid attacks are any indication. Earlier Roja offered prayers at the hill temple of Lord Venkateswara.

Did Chiranjeevi made a wrong move

Chiranjeevi, the president of Praja Rajyam Party is said to be taking unwise steps these days. The day he made Pavan Kalyan the president of Yuva Rajyam, he is said to be facing some tout consequences. Initially, he received applauds of many youth all over Andhra Pradesh for making the powers tar as a working member of PRP. But due to some idiotic deeds of Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi is getting defamed.

It is a fact that Pawan recently abused Congress Minister Shabir Ali as a “Thief”. In reply he got tagged with the word of a “Criminal” and adding to this the Minister is said to be filing a defamation case against Pawan Kalyan soon for abusing him.

As the elections are fast approaching, every party is trying to figure out some of the needs of the populace and is trying to tailor a solution for them. TDP is in the process to do so and in the same way Congress is said to be copying the opposition’s moves openly.

But PRP is busy meddling with its party men, opposition and their past deeds and are not at all concentrating on the needs of the people. Though, Chiranjeevi is promising to do and works for the benefit of the poor, his sentences are lacking some substance in them.

So, Chiranjeevi garu first shrug off your brother Pavan Kalyan and Allu Arvind away from your Party and stop alleging other political party deeds .Then only you can get some respite from the present situation.  Moreover, the day Pawan came into light, your name is getting down and his name is heard more in the news headlines.

PRP Supreme Chiranjeevi Contesting from Temple Town Tirupathi?

The Praja Rajyam Party Supreme Chiranjeevi is getting invitations from various constituencies in the state to contest the next assembly polls. However, chiranjeevi has made his mind clears about the issue. 

Chiranjeevi disclosed that he was keen to contest from Tirupathi and his hometown Narsapuram. NT Rama Rao had contested from to constituencies and Chiranjeevi also wants to contest from two constituencies.

‘Puli’ Pawan’s Address To ‘Angry Man’ Rajasekhar

While it is a normal thing to have rivalry when in a particular field, sometimes there are those few individuals who tend to take things very personally and leave no stone unturned to make their feelings public. Top in that list is the ‘Angry Man’ Rajasekhar and his prime target has always been megastar Chiranjeevi.

Just when folks thought that Rajasekhar along with his wife Jeevitha coming up in the TV channel and lashing out at Chiru was nowhere near being professional, the film couple has again taken the matter up for a second time and this time Rajasekhar went on with his rampage questioning whether Chiru has arrived from heaven or what? He is the one personally responsible for an attack on his family etc…

These allegations got power star Pawan Kalyan revealing his thoughts and in his regular straight faced dialogue delivery, Pawan said that Rajasekhar must first learn the Telugu language before actually coming out with statements. He is said to have advised Rajasekhar to watch his words before rolling them out since the consequences might just get a bit heavier when someone gets pushed to the corner. This seems to be a new battle raging up amidst ‘Ankusam’ and ‘Puli’.

Chiranjeevi promises to address problems of Muslims

Hyderabad, Jan 3 (IANS) Telugu superstar-turned-politician Chiranjeevi has held a meeting with several Muslim political and religious leaders and promised to address the problems of the community.Muslim United Front (MUF) convenor Syed Vicaruddin, who hosted a dinner for the Praja Rajyam party president here Friday night, submitted a memorandum, listing the demands for socio-economic uplift of the community.

  

“We will do whatever possible for the Muslims within the purview of the constitution of India. Our party is committed to work for the uplift of all oppressed and depressed sections of the society,” Chiranjeevi told the gathering, which also included Muslim intellectuals.

MUF, which comprises different Muslim social and political groups, said it would wait for Chiranjeevi’s response to the demands before declaring its support to his party in the coming elections.

The actor, who launched his party last August, was accompanied by former central minister and Praja Rajyam Party leader Shiv Shankar, who is the chairman of party’s election manifesto committee.

Chiru, as the actor is popularly called, tried to strike an emotional chord with the Muslim leaders by speaking a few words in Urdu. He recalled his childhood days and his close association with Muslims in his village.

The Praja Rajyam leader said the meeting with Muslim leaders was a step ahead in his political journey. “This has given me an opportunity to meet Muslim brothers and understand their problems,” he said.

Vicaruddin, who is also editor-in-chief of Urdu daily Rehnuma-e-Deccan, said Muslims had high hopes from Chiranjeevi as he entered politics to serve people.

“We are disappointed by the Congress party while Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has betrayed us. Now we hope that Chiranjeevi will address our problems,” he said.

Muslim leaders urged the star to promise reservations to Muslims in jobs and education and include the same in his party’s election manifesto.

Muslims constitute nearly 10 percent of Andhra Pradesh’s 78 million population.

Praja Rajyam Party gains some, lose some

Praja Rajyam Party leadership might have been in high spirits with the joining of two Telugu Desam MLAs – Kala Venkat Rao and Kambala Jogulu and is expecting to get stronger in north coastal Andhra, but their entry has also led to strong dissidence within the party.

Sources say PRP’s gain of leaders also amounts to loss of cadres in north coastal Andhra. This was evident form the exit of Jhansi, daughter of freedom fighter Goutu Latchanna. She resigned from the party, alleging that there was no social justice in the party as being claimed by party president Chiranjeevi. Jhansi, a strong BC leader and wife of former IAS officer R Ramakrishnaih and sister of TD MLA Goutu Shyama Sundara Sivaji, joined the PRP with high hopes. She wanted to contest from Visakhapatnam, but she was confined to Vizianagaram. Finally, she called it quits and chose a non-existent Lok Satta to mark her career.

The entry of Kala Venkat Rao is also not being taken kindly by Srikakulam MLC Gorla Haribabu Naidu. In fact, he played a major role in establishing PRP in the district, much before former TD minister Tammineni Sitaram joined. He is now sidelined by Tammineni, who got top position in the party. Now that Kala Venkat Rao also entered the scene and is all set to get to the top, Haribabu Naidu is frustrated. He did not attend Kala’s joining ceremony. He is likely to jump into the Telugu Desam.

Similarly in Visakhapatnam, the second-rung PRP cadres are not taking it kindly the influence being wielded by former TD MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao, who ensured that all the district committees are filled with his own people. Because of Ganta’s overaction, several PRP workers are planning to get back either into the Congress or TD.

The exit of BC leader V G R Naragoni also has led to several BC leaders deserting the PRP in north coastal Andhra. None of Naragoni’s followers could find a place in the district committees in Visakhapatnam, while prominent businessmen got the top slots. As a result, several important leaders are planning to call it quits to the PRP.

Congress up in arms against Chiranjeevi’s brother

Hyderabad: Chiranjeevi's brother and actor-turned politician Pavan Kalyan’s outbursts against the Congress leadership after the Bhimraowada demolition last week has led to a war of words between him and the Congress. 

Pavan Kalyan, president of Praja Rajyam Party’s youth wing Yuva Rajyam, had called the Congress leaders a bunch of land-grabbers, traitors and asked his fans — in true filmy style — to chase them on the streets till their clothes fell apart. Launching a personal attack, he accused Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and Minister for Minority Welfare, Energy and Coal Shabbir Ali, of corruption. He charged Shabbir Ali of grabbing Wakf board lands that should have been allotted to poor Muslims. He accused the other ministers and APCC president D Srinivas of looting the state. 

The Congress leaders retorted back by questioning Pavan Kalyan’s morals vis-a-vis his personal life and dismissed him as a novice politician. However, Shabbir Ali couldn’t stop himself from publicly wondering how Pavan Kalyan, who started a live-in relationship with another woman before divorcing his wife, can talk of morals. He demanded an apology from Praja Rajyam Party or face a defamation case. Chiranjeevi supported his brother saying he was entitled to express his opinion.

The trading of charges only emboldened Pavan Kalyan who said that he had expressed people’s feelings. But his subsequent actions drew all round criticism from not only the Congress leaders but also other parties and his own fans. Re-enacting a scene from one of his films, a wildly gesticulating Pavan Kalyan warned the Congress leaders of dire consequences if they dared to take up cudgels against him. His body language and gestures offended not only senior leaders within his own party but also leaders across all parties. This sparked off protests by Congress workers across the state. 

On Friday, the actor escaped being roughed up by irate Congress workers who marched to the PRP office to hold a demonstration. Pavan Kalyan came out of the office to receive them with roses but had to beat a hasty retreat as PRP supporters and Congress workers came to blows. His effigies were burnt by Congress workers at several places across the city. 

Former actress Jayasudha, who joined the Congress, said Pavan Kalyan being a youth icon should have refrained from using such language.

Chiranjeevi’s party tastes first electoral success

Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party had its first electoral success today with a nominee supported by the fledgling outfit winning a local election in Kurnool district.

M Ravi won the Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) election at Allagadda in the district by defeating his nearest Congress rival by”a good margin of votes”, Chiranjeevi told reporters here.

Hailing the result, Chiranjeevi hoped that it is a good omen for the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections likely to be held in April.

” This is a New Year gift for us. I hope this is a good thing that happened for us ahead of the elections.”

The polls were held in four districts.

Asked about the alliance talks with Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), he said his party is open for a tie-up.”The ball is in their court. We are open (for tie-up).”

To a query, he reiterated that his party is not inclined to have an alliance with the BJP.

He said Bollywood actor and BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha called on him recently as he is an old friend.

Asked about the war of words between his brother Pavan Kalyan and the ruling Congress leaders over the former&aposs recent remarks, he said his brother had only expressed his anger.

War of words between Congress and TDP on ‘bogus’ voters

Congress and Telugu Desam Party leaders entered into a heated verbal duel and made accusations against each other in the presence of Collector M.T. Krishna Babu at an all-party meeting convened in Proddatur Tahsildar’s office on Friday.

TDP’s Proddatur constituency in-charge Mallela Linga Reddy accused Congressmen of including bogus voters in Kamanur, native village of Proddatur MLA N. Varadarajulu Reddy, Bhagatsingh Colony, Amruthanagar, Gopavaram and other places in Proddatur town.

Voter revision was entrusted to officials who were biased towards the ruling party leaders, he alleged and demanded action against the erring political leaders and officials concerned who cooperated with them.

Heated exchanges ensued between Mr. Linga Reddy and N. Konda Reddy, son of the Proddatur MLA.

When Mr. Linga Reddy alleged that bogus votes were rampant in Kamanur village, Mr. Konda Reddy countered him by questioning how the TDP leader figured as voter in both Proddatur and Gopavaram.

The Collector intervened and advised them not to argue but point out lapses in the voters’ list.

Proddatur in-charge municipal chairman V.S. Mukthiar demanded implementation of the Election Commission’s orders on the voters revision.

He asserted that Congress leaders did not get bogus voters enrolled. Former municipal chairman and TDP leader Rachamallu Prasada Reddy demanded stern action against those enrolling bogus voters.

The Collector and Joint Collector M. Girijasankar asserted that revision of voter list was undertaken as per the EC’s guidelines.

Officials cannot be solely held responsible for any irregularities in voter revision, political leaders too were responsible, they said. Calling for cooperation of all parties to ensure inclusion of genuine voters, they advised the leaders not to wile away time in levelling allegations and counter-allegations.

Mr. Krishna Babu warned of stern action against officials if they resort to irregularities at the behest of politicians.

Voters’ lists would be handed over to the political parties on January 6 and 7 and if photographs were misplaced, they could procure passport photographs of voters and hand them over to officials concerned by January 9, he said.

The Election Commission would publish the final electoral list on January 20, he said.

Earlier, TDP leaders led by Mr. Linga Reddy and Mr. Prasada Reddy staged dharna before the tahsildar officer alleging that municipal officials and anganwadi workers entrusted with voter revision are following the diktats of the in-charge municipal chairman.

They demanded an inquiry into the voters’ list containing two lakh voters.

TDP leaders M. Lakshmiprasanna, Khaja Mohiuddin, Narayanaswamy, Venkatasubba Reddy, Purushotham Reddy, Sarojamma and SDardar Basha participated.

Telangana a promise if voted to power: PRP

The Praja Rajyam Party found itself in a piquant situation on Friday when its president K. Chiranjeevi had to clarify that spokesman Katti Padma Rao’s statement that the party was in favour of a separate Telangana was the official policy.

On Friday afternoon, Mr. Rao categorically said at a press conference that if voted to power, it would move a resolution in the Assembly favouring a separate Telangana State.

He was only defending the Yuva Rajyam (Youth Wing of Praja Rajyam) president Pawan Kalyan who drew flak recently when he asked the Government to clear its stand on Telangana.

When repeatedly asked about how the party could go about the process of facilitating the formation of a separate State, he said they would definitely do what they could on the matter, depending on the majority they got in the general elections, at the State and the Centre.

Later, when presspersons asked Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi to expand on his party’s standpoint on the issue, he said he had all along been saying he would do whatever the people wanted.

When asked again, he said the terminology used by different leaders in the same leader could be different and that it did not mean any distortion in the party’s stand.

When asked if Mr. Pawan Kalyan’s criticism and the manner in which he hit out at Congress leaders, meant the Praja Rajyam was giving the go-by to ‘Gandhigiri’, Mr. Chiranjeevi said it was not so. “He is young and enthusiastic. We should only go by what he meant ”, he added.

TDP, Left parties seek Chiru support to defeat Cong

The Telugu Desam Party, CPM and CPI on Friday urged the Prajarajyam Party to cooperate with them in defeating the Congress.

CPM state secretary B V Raghavulu, addressing workers of the three parties, said that the goal of the alliance partners and PRP was to defeat the ruling Congress. “If they are not willing to join the alliance, they should focus their energies on targeting the Congress, its corrupt practices and failures during the last four years instead of criticising the opposition.”

This “outside” support would dent the image of the ruling party and it would become easy to defeat it.

CPI leader S Sudhakar Reddy said that all secular parties were coming together at the national level and this front would win about 200 Lok Sabha seats in the coming elections. He said that the central leaders of the two Left parties along with TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu were making efforts to bring all the like-minded parties on to one platform.

The TDP general secretary Kadiam Srihari and Raghavulu criticised the government for showing “over enthusiasm,” in taking up Jalayagnam projects. They felt that it should have focussed on few projects and completed them in five years time. While the projects which were started in 2004 are incomplete it has now laid foundation stones for another three projects, Pranahita Chevella, north coastal sujala sravanthi and Konthalapalli projects worth Rs 71,000 crore.

He said this has landed the government into serious problems and it is not able to clear the bills of the contractors and as result they have stopped the works at several places, Srihari added.

Suggesting ways to nail the `lies’ of the Congress, Raghavulu said PRP should work out better strategies to expose the government. For example while the people, the ministers and officials are have been telling the government that superfine variety rice was not being sold in the open market for Rs 20 a kg as directed by the government, the chief minister is not willing to accept it. Such issues need to be highlighted, he said.

Stating that all three parties had come together with one point agenda and that was to defeat the Congress, Raghavulu expressed confidence that TRS would finally join the alliance. They are at present in the process of decision making and are considering various issues. The chances of joining TDP,CPM and CPI alliance were bright, he said.

Referring to the issue of big fish he said the chief minister should take responsibility for allowing such corrupt officials in the government and should charge sheet Y Suryanarayana and start investigations. Instead the government was dragging its feet, Raghavulu said.

YSR declares 2009 as welfare year

Satisfied with the initial results of the boost given to development and employment generation last year, the State government has decided to shift the emphasis now to welfare and declared 2009 as welfare year to rectify deficiencies in this sector.

Speaking to the media here on Thursday, Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy greeted people of the State on the New Year with the promise of expending more time and energy this year towards achieving this goal. The government, he said, would continue to be pro-active to retain the tempo of the development and consolidate the gains made on the law & order front, especially in containing factional and naxalite violence. Dr. Reddy announced that the massive pension scheme, planned to benefit one crore old women of the self-help groups aged 60 years, with a monthly pension of Rs. 500, would be finalised by this month-end and implemented from April 1. He sought suggestions from women samakhyas as the modalities for the scheme were being worked out by the LIC, its implementing agency.

The Chief Minister highlighted the 17 irrigation projects completed so far as the hallmark of the development achieved. Work was in full swing on two to three projects in each district. Jalayagnam had given a clear message that “only Congress, and none else, has the courage to implement big irrigation projects. Anybody else would have simply been scared at talking about these projects,” Dr. Reddy said, citing the Rs. 38,500 crore Pranahita-Chevella project.

The results of the employment mission taken up for 2008 were such that 8 lakh job opportunities were offered to the youth as against a 10-lakh target through a comprehensive training programme and job melas. In view of the government’s good track record in containing left wing extremism, other States had begun to emulate Andhra Pradesh.

Naxal problem

He said though the terrorist problem had come to the State from other areas, it was “tackled well”.

Referring to other crimes, including abuse of women, he said a strong message had been sent recently on how strict the government could be in enforcing law & order.

Congress up in arms against Chiranjeevi’s brother

Chiranjeevi’s brother and actor-turned politician Pavan Kalyan’s outbursts against the Congress leadership after the Bhimraowada demolition last week has led to a war of words between him and the Congress.

Pavan Kalyan, president of Praja Rajyam Party’s youth wing Yuva Rajyam, had called the Congress leaders a bunch of land-grabbers, traitors and asked his fans — in true filmy style — to chase them on the streets till their clothes fell apart. Launching a personal attack, he accused Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and Minister for Minority Welfare, Energy and Coal Shabbir Ali, of corruption. He charged Shabbir Ali of grabbing Wakf board lands that should have been allotted to poor Muslims. He accused the other ministers and APCC president D Srinivas of looting the state.

The Congress leaders retorted back by questioning Pavan Kalyan’s morals vis-a-vis his personal life and dismissed him as a novice politician. However, Shabbir Ali couldn’t stop himself from publicly wondering how Pavan Kalyan, who started a live-in relationship with another woman before divorcing his wife, can talk of morals. He demanded an apology from Praja Rajyam Party or face a defamation case. Chiranjeevi supported his brother saying he was entitled to express his opinion. The trading of charges only emboldened Pavan Kalyan who said that he had expressed people’s feelings. But his subsequent actions drew all round criticism from not only the Congress leaders but also other parties and his own fans. Re-enacting a scene from one of his films, a wildly gesticulating Pavan Kalyan warned the Congress leaders of dire consequences if they dared to take up cudgels against him. His body language and gestures offended not only senior leaders within his own party but also leaders across all parties. This sparked off protests by Congress workers across the state.

On Friday, the actor escaped being roughed up by irate Congress workers who marched to the PRP office to hold a demonstration. Pavan Kalyan came out of the office to receive them with roses but had to beat a hasty retreat as PRP supporters and Congress workers came to blows. His effigies were burnt by Congress workers at several places across the city.

Former actress Jayasudha, who joined the Congress, said Pavan Kalyan being a youth icon should have refrained from using such language.

Roja’s Ragging Triggers Pawan’s ‘Power’

It appears that the star war between the political parties is going to take a new direction altogether ever since Power Star Pawan Kalyan has entered the political fray and has been coming out with some really ‘power’ packed statements that have already rubbed the political boys on the wrong side.

Meanwhile, Pawan seems to have found a match in someone, she is none other than the ravishing Roja who was once part of Pawan’s film fraternity. Apparently, the former actress who is now part of the Telugu Desam Party has come out with her style of cynicism which surely will not be forgotten.

Roja said that the arrival of Pawan is due to the back problem of megastar Chiranjeevi as he needs rest. Not stopping at that, she also remarked that megabrother Nagababu is a step higher than junior artiste and a step lower than character artiste while another leader Ramachandraiah got a stick from her that he is a step higher than ash tray and a step lower than dustbin. Guess, all this is good enough to stir the adrenaline of Pawan who is raring to get bold in his political role. This should be interesting.

TDP Tarakarathna and PRP Pawan Kalyan are equal

Gone are the days when politics was considered a means to do good to the public and motivate the people of the society to bring about a constructive change in this nation. These days, politics is all about making derogatory remarks, speeches with allegations and come out with remarks that cause sensation.

On the other hand, the media hype plays a role in making a relatively inexperienced person to be the hero of the hour just due to his/her revolutionary comments. One name that can be taken here is that of Nandamuri Tarakaratna whom folks considered to be a flop hero in reel life but thanks to his speeches, he has become an off screen hero now.

He has now been joined by Pawan Kalyan who is leaving no stone unturned to come up with statements and words that are not only being looked at as immature but also emotional without much sense. It is about time these orators realize that they are addressing a mass who blindly follow their words and commandments so one hopes they are led to the right direction.

Seetha ram showed the Press, The wounds suffered by PRP leader Srinivas rao during Congress attack and called how such a behavior to attack be called as Gandhian..? He said such attacks were un-parliamentary and shows the barbaric rule of congress.

PRP leaders condemn Congress attack

The Congress cadres’ high drama at the headquarters of Praja Rajyam in Hyderabad seemed to have ruffled the feelings of the Praja Rajyam cadres across the district, as was evident from the response of party leaders here on Thursday.

The wordy duel between Yuva Rajyam leader Pawan Kalyan and Energy Minister Shabbir Ali led to the Congress leaders allegedly attacking some Praja Rajyam leaders in Hyderabad in which some local leaders too received minor injuries. They held meetings at the party office here amidst rising emotions among the cadres.

Praja Rajyam leader Bathina Ramu said that in a democracy, everybody had a right to criticise the Government and there was nothing wrong in Mr. Pawan Kalyan speaking about the misdeeds of Congress leaders.

He said that by attacking the party office, the Congress leaders had done a lot of damage to themselves and their party and the people were watching the ruling party’s undemocratic activities.

Another leader Bonda Srinivasa Rao deplored the action of the Congress cadres and asserted that this would not be tolerated under any circumstances.

He warned the ruling party leaders against resorting to such intimidation and suppression in future, as such activities would lead to the Congress party’s downfall.

Boppana Bhavan Kumar, an aspirant for the Patamata Assembly segment, said that nothing would shake the confidence of the Praja Rajyam cadres and the party would teach a fitting lesson to the Congress party in the coming elections.

He said that a number of activities were being planned to expose the autocratic attitude of the Congress leaders.
