The comments made by former minister and senior Telangana Telugu Desam Party leader Mothkupalli Narasimhulu that his party could have an alliance with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi in the next elections has triggered a commotion in political circles.
Now that he is no more a Bharatiya Janata Party leader and a Central minister, Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu does not have any obligation to help his friend – Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Tuesday sprang a surprise on the political observers when he made an unexpected visit to the ashram of Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamy at Muchintal near Shamshabad.
Senior actor and Telugu Desam Party legislator from Hindupur Nandamuri Balakrishna seems to be getting vicarious pleasure in slapping his fans and party workers, forgetting the simple logic that it would only get bad name for him and also his legendary father late N T Rama Rao.
It looks like Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is trying to hoodwink the central leaders by showcasing Pattiseema project as the major part of the Polavaram project works to seek more funds.
On Tuesday, Union minister for surface transport and water resources Nitin Gadkari came to Vijayawada to lay foundation stone for the inland water transport schemes. He wanted to inspect the much-hyped Polavaram project to see as to what extent the works were completed, since Naidu was repeatedly pestering the Centre for more funds.
So, Naidu took Gadkari to Polavaram project area. However, without explaining much about the progress of works on the actual Polavaram dam, the chief minister sought to divert the attention of the Union minister by showcasing the Pattiseema project. He took him to the Pattiseema site on Polavaram right branch canal and explained him how he was taking water from Godavari to Krishna river to save the crops in Krishna delta area.
The chief minister went on explaining how Pattiseema on Godavari river would help additional water supply to Rayalaseema. Gadkar was impressed with the project works, without realising the fact that the actual Polavaram project works were going on at snail’s pace and Pattiseema would become redundant once Polavaram is completed. Till then, Naidu is trying to show Pattiseema as nothing but part of Polavaram works!
Even during the visit of Parliamentary Committee, too, Naidu played the same trick and the team members were all praise for Naidu for completing the Pattiseema project, ignoring the actual Polavaram project.
There is no limit for political speculations these days. Especially in the social media, there is absolutely no control over these speculations and make one wonder whether they are really true or just a rumour to ruin the careers of the leaders they don’t like.
One could understand why YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was absent at the wedding of Paritala Sriram, son of Andhra Pradesh minister Paritala Sunitha, as the latter still has the suspicion over Jagan’s alleged role in the murder of her husband Paritala Ravi.
Now that he has completely lost hope on the Governor post, senior Telugu Desam Party leader and former minister Mothkupalli Narasimhulu is now eyeing Rajya Sabha seat.
If elections are held for the Andhra Pradesh state assembly now, only one-third of the sitting Telugu Desam Party MLAs can retain their seats.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is said to be in second thoughts over going in for by-poll for Nalgonda parliamentary seat by making sitting MP Gutha Sukhender Reddy resign from the seat.
If a person is in power and heading the state, whatever he does or whatever happens to him and his family members becomes a big news in the media.
The statement issued by Jana Sena Party chief and power star Pawan Kalyan on Monday that his party would be contesting elections in 175 assembly seats in the Telugu states has created a lot of confusion among the people as well as his followers.
If the reports doing rounds in some media circles are to be believed, Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is most likely to go in for yet another reshuffle of the cabinet shortly.
It has been almost four days since there were reports that Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu had finalised the name of senior TDP leader from Mydukuru Putta Sudhakar Yadav as the new chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams trust board.
Has YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy been strongly lobbying with the top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party to seek their help for the smooth conduct of his proposed Padayatra from November 2?
