Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu often gives an impression that he actually deserves the Prime Minister’s post and has not been showing interest in the big post in the interest of the people of his state.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA in the recently dissolved assembly Enugu Ravinder Reddy representing Yellareddy constituency in Nizamabad district landed in trouble with the Election Commission of India ordering action against him for allegedly trying to bribe the local voters.
As the elections to the Telangana assembly are fast approaching, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is getting more and more restive.
After seeing the poor response from the people for his public meetings at Kongara Kalan on the city outskirts on September 2 and at Husnabad on September 7, KCR seems to have thought he could attract the people only if he uses the abusive language against his political rivals in his typical Telangana style.
The way KCR foul-mouthed his opponents at the public meeting at Nizamabad evoked wide spread criticism in the mainstream as well as social media, though there were loud cheers from party workers at the meeting.
Some of the epithets that he had used were: “Thoo, mee bathuku cheda,” (you shameless people with rotten life), “oo ante case, uchcha posthe case,” (they are filing cases even on pissing), okatiki, rentiki povalanna Delhi permission kaalave,(they will have to permission even for going to urinals and toilets) ” chembadka pothe vaasana lekunda chestharu.. (they promise even to keep your asses clean after you finish defaecating etc.)
KCR was particularly attacking the Congress party for forging an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party to form a Maha Kootami. He called TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu a “Durgargudu, Daridrudu, Telangana Drohi, Addmaina Donga and Rakshasi”.
He did not even spare AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad, calling him a Ghulam (slave).
Well, KCR thought the people would appreciate him for using Telangana abuses. He could get away with such words during the Telangana movement, but now he is a responsible chief minister who should keep his language under control. “Such abuses against rivals would only benefit them, rather than him and his party,” a political analyst said.
TRS party supremo and caretaker CM K Chandrasekhar Rao has resumed his election campaign with organising Praja Ashirwada Sabha at Nizamabad.
Discontent is said to be brewing within the family of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and caretaker chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, as the assembly elections are fast approaching.
When YSR Congress party president and Leader of Opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy entered Rajamundry in East Godavari district from Kovvur in West Godavari leading a massive rally of party workers and followers on the historic road-cum-rail bridge in the month of June, it was a historic and unprecedented show of strength.
As many as nine government teachers had to face suspension from their jobs in Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
The 'secret' pujas performed by power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan at Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Jagannathapuram of Dwaraka Tirumala mandal in West Godavari district in the early hours of Monday led to a lot of speculations and rumours in the mainstream media as well as social media.
Bharatiya Janata Party in Andhra Pradesh, which has been desperate to get some big names to make an impact in the coming elections in the state, got a shot in the arm with senior Telugu Desam Party MP and former Union minister P Ashok Gajapathi Raju’s niece Sanchaita Gajapathi Raju joining the BJP on Tuesday.
It is a known fact that power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan had played an instrumental role in preventing YSR Congress party to come to power and bringing the Telugu Desam Party-Bharatiya Janata Party combine to win the 2014 assembly elections.
Despite the attempts of Revanth Reddy to portray the Congress as a Reddy party and TRS as a Velama bastion, by and large, the Reddy community in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh as well, largely seems to be in favour of KCR coming back to power according to reports of the Intelligence Bureau.
If the Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party leaders have their say in Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi might contest the next Lok Sabha elections from south as well, apart from his constituencies in Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh.
Erstwhile glamorous heroine and star campaigner for the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Vijayashanti has declared that she is not going to contest the ensuing assembly elections in the state.
It looks like Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has decided against campaigning even for his party, if not for the entire Maha Kootami (grand alliance) of which it is a partner, in the coming assembly elections in Telangana.
As the elections to the Telangana assembly are fast approaching, the opposition parties, particularly the Congress party, started sharpening their weapons to attack ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi headed by caretaker chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
