Heroine Slept With Minister?
This is the grapevine that is making rounds in film circuit. This is the secret of a small time actor turned damn rich all of a sudden and turned a big producer now. He is making films with many big heroes and presently a film is on floors with a hero who gave a hit to Tollywood in recent times. Sources say that the actor turned producer helped a minister in real estate deals and eventually became affluent. Adding to this the actor also served the minister by making a heroine sleep with him frequently. The heroine was paid huge amounts and the guy has developed strong rapport with the minister there by earning big in real estate. The only actor who developed in bigger way in last five years from zero to hundreds of crores is none other than that small time actor.
Prostitution In Front Of Ministers' Eyes
There was a time when dark trades like prostitution had their own code of conduct and they made sure that families and general public are not affected by it. But now, all that seems to have gone down the drain and ironically, it is happening right in front of the Ministers.
Apparently, the famous Lumbini Park opposite Secretariat has become a hot spot for prostitutes and given the huge rushes of family crowds that come there, they are said to be having tough time with the prostitutes making their presence and carrying on with their acts without a hitch.
This thing has become so popular that even the famous Sakshi channel came up with a 30 minutes special program. Many have been complaining that the levels of decency are being crossed and it is sad to note that all this is happening right in front of the secretariat, the home for the ministers.
The situation has been the same even during TDP government and the Congress is also not taking any steps to curb these indecent and illegal activities in public. Sources at Lumbini also say that police are getting their ‘maamoollu’ and hence they keep quiet despite knowing everything that happens here.

Nagarjuna's Investments In YS Jagan's Business?
While the recent election has given many revelations, the one thing that raised the curiosity of the public and the political circles is the bonding between Yuvasamrat Nagarjuna and the Congress party. Given his indirect yet effective promotion for YSR and his rule, many believe that Nag has got strong links with the Congress party.
Now, another grapevine has been making strong rounds. It is heard that Nag has actually got into a business partnership with none other than Y S Jagan and has got a fair share of his investments in Jagan’s businesses and establishments and also his expansion plans.
However, those who are associated with Nag quash this as baseless rumors and add that the star has got enough on his hand to take care of so he wouldn’t get into something more. But then, inside sources strongly believe that there is an association between Nag and Jagan. This could be interesting and the near future may see some intersting news about their business partnership, say sources.

TRS rebel has video clippings on KCR
Rebel Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader H A Rehman has claimed that he has video recording of the illegal activities of party president K Chandrasekhara Rao.
Rehman threatened to expose the “video clippings” at an appropriate time, if KCR does not step down as party president. “I served KCR more than his son. I was with him at every stage. I know all the in and outs of his activities. And I have the video clippings against KCR. I will expose real face of KCR at an appropriate time,” he said.
The TRS rebel said the time was not far off when people of Telangana captured the Telangana Bhavan sooner or later. “He has to quit the Telangana Bhavan. Otherwise, we will occupy it one day,” he said.

Did MLA rape the students?
The case of Telugu Desam Party MLA from Kovvur T V Rama Rao is taking interesting turns day after the day.
Five Kerala girls, who deposed before Home Minister Sabita Indra Reddy, CID authorities and State Human Rights Commission on Saturday, did not mention anything about rape and murder by TVR. All that they said in their complaint was that TVR used to pass sexual overtures towards them and tried to molest one of them. They refused to undergo any medical examination, as there were no allegations of any rape.
However, on Sunday, the girls changed their version. In their memorandum to Governor N D Tiwari, they alleged that the MLA sexually abused them under coercion. If that is the case, the allegation of rape against the MLA will have to be proved; and the girls will have to undergo medical examination. If that happens and the guilt is proved, it will be tough for Rama Rao to get out of the case.

YSR patches up Manda and bank staff
Finally, it was Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy who had to intervene and bring a compromise between Nagarkurnool Congress MP Dr Manda Jagannatham and employees of rural banks in the state on Sunday.
The Chief Minister summoned Jagannatham and representatives of the AP Rural Banks Association to Begumpet airport (from where YSR was to fly to East Godavari district) and asked them to arrive at a compromise. He pulled up Jagannatham in front of the association leaders for slapping Ravinder Reddy, manager of AP Grameena Vikas Bank of Uppununthala branch in Mahbubnagar district on Monday last. “This is not the way to get work from the bank officials. If you have any complaint against any banker, you should take it up with appropriate authorities, but you cannot take law into your hands,” he said.
The Chief Minister also appealed the bank association members not to precipitate the matter further. Following his appeal, Jagannatham and association leaders shook hands and decided to close the issue. While tendering an open apology to the bank officials, the Congress MP agreed to withdraw the case filed against Ravinder Reddy under SC/ST Atrocities (Prevention) Act. The bankers also agreed to withdraw the case of filed against Jagannatham for assaulting an official on duty.

Lok Satta takes TDP to task
Perhaps for the first time since its inception, the Lok Satta Party activists took to streets on a political issue – not against the ruling Congress, but against the fellow-opposition party, the Telugu Desam Party.
Taking serious objection to TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu’s allegation that the Lok Satta was nothing but a pocket organisation of the Congress and that its candidates were sponsored financially by Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, Lok Satta activists staged a dharna in front of the NTR Trust Bhavan, the headquarters of the TDP, and demanded that Naidu take back his words. The TDP activists, too, made a counter dharna, leading to a clash between the two parties and they raised slogans against each other.
The LSP leaders said that far from being chastened by the electoral debacle and mending its ways, the TDP seemed to regard the electoral arena as its sole preserve. “A mature political party in a democracy should humbly accept the people’s verdict instead of trying to find scapegoats in other parties or blame the voters themselves. Perhaps they believe in single-party democracy,” they said.
Referring to the allegation that the Lok Satta seemed to have a secret understanding with the Congress since it did not field candidates against the Chief Minister and his son in the Pulivendula Assembly and Kadapa Lok Sabha seats respectively, the Lok Satta leaders dubbed it as not only baseless but also malicious. The party did field Mr. Gudipati Prasanna Kumar to contest against the Chief Minister’s son in the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat. Despite its best efforts, the party could not find candidates in 45 Assembly and 10 Lok Sabha seats.
Pulivendula and Kuppam happened to be among Assembly seats where the party could not locate suitable candidates. The party allocated the Kuppam seat to the Backward Classes United Front which had come forward to field a candidate.

KCR resorts to media bashing again
Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao is an incorrigible politician. Inspite of series of debacles in the elections and revolts within the party, he has never tried to change himself, but sticks to his old histrionics.
The TRS president, who suddenly landed in Karimnagar district on Saturday for reasons known only to him, has blamed it on the media for the so-called “dissidence” in the party. “Everything is fine in the TRS. There is absolutely no dissidence and everybody is working under my leadership. It is only the media, which is giving too much importance to some unscrupulous elements who were kicked out of the party, and describing their activity as dissidence,” he said.
The TRS president’s statement only reflects his frustration. He knows that what is happening within the party will lead to his fall one day or the other. That is why, he is trying to put up a brave front.

Politics In Heroine Bhoomika's Company
She is known as the glowing beauty of the Telugu circuit and her roles have been symbols of justice and equal treatment to all. However, her real life personality seems to be offering something else. We are talking about the fresh looking married heroine Bhoomika Chawla.
The buzz is that there are severe north Indian politics in the office of her film magazine Mayanagar. Apparently, the office of the magazine is said to have a special preference to north Indians and south Indians are being given the second preference as per inside sources. This practice is going on despite the magazine needs Telugu crew to run the show.
Many say that Bhoomika’s real success has been in Telugu only but then if she is still keen on promoting the North folks then they are saying that she can better shift back to the Hindi arena. Dissent is said to have been growing up due to this unfair biased approach, say few associated with her ventures.

Chiru pushes CR to react on budget
Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi has done a clever thing in not reacting on the Union budget presented by Pranab Mukherjee on Monday.
Apparently realising that his ignorance would be exposed, if he comes before the media to comment on the budget, Chiranjeevi asked his senior party leader C Ramachandraiah to give the party’s reaction. And Ramachandraiah, who was two-time MP and an expert on economic affairs, could explain how the budget was disappointing. “Though there were some schemes for the common man, it was not mentioned how the government would mobilise funds for the same,” he said.
The PRP president still needs to take a lot of lessons on political and economic affairs. It is better he remain silent till such time.

Naidu challenges JP for open debate
Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu does not seem to end the controversy over his remarks against Lok Satta Party president Dr Jayaprakash Narayan.
Naidu challenged JP to come for an open debate on the allegations that there was a nexus between the Congress and the Lok Satta. He sought to know whether there were any occasions when JP had made any serious allegations against the Congress. “People have to know whether or not the Lok Satta had indirectly benefited the Congress in the elections,” he said.
The TDP president said it was nothing but natural for a political party to analyse whether the presence of any other party in the electoral fray had scuttled its chances of coming to power. “Some of our candidates brought to my notice that they had lost because of the presence of Lok Satta. We were only discussing the issue. What was the need for the Lok Satta activists to stage dharnas on this?” he asked.

Chiru ready to act again
The actor turned politician Chiranjeevi had stated some time back that he was quitting films for good. He said that he would dedicate the rest of his life in social service.Chiranjeevi now seems to be having a change of heart. After several speakers at the audio launch ceremony of Magadheera asked Chiranjeevi to act in films once again, he seems to have been tempted to make a come back. Chiranjeevi said that he did not rule out the idea completely. He said that he does not known what lay ahead but he may act once again in future. The message from Chiru was clear to all his fans wait for some more time and then I will make a comeback.
