Babu's Iron-Hand Spoils Nation'

"Naidu's is an iron-hand that nation would go to dogs when he involves in central politics", said a Congress leader today. Indeed, his motive to make Mayawati the PM of India is not being welcomed by many.

"Chandrababu said Mayawati was a corrupt a few days back. And now he has gone all the way to shake her hands and express his support for her. Ethics are hardly seen in politics and Chandrababu has reached the heights of unethical living. He better fits to be a drama artiste than a politician. The people who called him statesman when he was the CM of AP are now spitting on him", added the Congress leader.

A few days back Botsa said, "Naidu's is an iron-leg and hence the rains are locked in the sky itself as he is moving entire state in Meekosam yatra". Lakshmi Parvathi said that Naidu is facing the curse of Late NTR and hence he is being deserted by everyone in his party. Devender Goud, who is Babu's long time friend also clearly stated in his resignation letter that Babu is a dictator and never values the words of others in his party.

It is to be underlined that no TDP leader is coming forward to condemn those allegations on him. And indeed with all these sayings, people started believing that Naidu's hand is really iron.

1 NTR-1 Babu Vs 1 Chiru-Many Babus

The reign of NTR has gone and Chandrababu was the major power center those days. To be precise he was the only power center when NTR was CM.

If anybody would come to meet NTR, he would ask, "Babu garini (Chandrababu) kalisaara"? This was a known fact those days. The bribe or fund or negotiation should happen at Chandrababu before stepping into NTR's office. But now Chiranjeevi is only one but there are many Chandrababus around him. Allu Aravind, Dr Mitra, Vinay, Pawan Kalyan and Nagababu are the power centers around Chiru. If anyone comes for a party ticket to Aravind, he asks whether he met Nagababu, if he goes to Nagababu he asks if he met Dr Mitra and the buck will be passed to Vinay. And all these power centers are also by passing local leaders to lure MPTCs and ZPTCs. The power center game played by these biggies in Chiru camp has been sending wrong signals.

Impressions are being spread that power centers in Chiranjeevi camp are proving to be the most influential. Chiru knows all this? Will he encourage this phenomenon if he knows? That has to be seen.

Blood + Money=Chiru says Mareppa

Mareppa has thrown another bomb on Chiranjeevi camp today. He alleged that Chiranjeevi camp has started collecting funds apart from squeezing the blood of people. He says that party funds are in the process of collection and Chiranjeevi is depending on funds but not burning out his own money. "What is this praja seva? What is this rakta dana seva?" he implies.

As usual there is no reciprocation from Chiru's side. Mareppa has been delegated to thro mud on Chiranjeevi and that proves to be correct.

Let us see if there would be answer for all these allegations from Chiranjeevi all at once.

The hot gossip in Hyderabad is about KCR. And it is spread by KCR. So this is the gossip for KCR, by KCR and of KCR.

He says, "UPA government is going to collapse and Mayawati is going to become PM. That is for sure and that is the reason we are doing such hungama in Delhi. And I'm promised with Home Ministry at the center. As soon as I become Home Minister I would rotate the wheel (chakram tipputhaa) there and take steps to pass Telengana bill immediately".

People are wondering if KCR started boozing from the morning itself. And some are saying that he consumed little more last night and the hang over is still making him a creative dreamer.

YSR debates with naidu regarding Power

With the power crisis looming large on the State and the main opposition party, Telugu Desam stepping up its agitation against power cuts, Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy decided to launch a counter attack on TD, exposing the lack of foresight on the part of previous Chandrababu Naidu government in taking up power projects.

The YSR government is making maximum use of the media to launch an attack on Naidu. It is issuing regular press releases and also huge advertisements in the media, stating that the present crisis in power sector was the result of faulty policies of the previous TD government. While not a single project was taken up by State-run APGenco, the four gas-based private projects started by the TD government lacked gas supply. Naidu government did not make any attempts to bid for gas exploration in K-G basin, while Gujarat and Reliance grabbed the gas blocks. "Let Naidu come for an open debate in the Assembly. We will explain to the people how Naidu had grossly neglected the power sector during his regime," he challenged, in an open letter to the people on Sunday.

Looks like there would be yet another interesting verbal duel in Assembly during the monsoon session.

Megastar wants go alone

With the deadline for the launch of megastar Chiranjeevi's political party is fast approaching, speculations are rife as to which way he would go: Left or Right.

Sources, however, say Chiranjeevi would have an independent political line and does not want toe any other political party – Communists, BJP, TRS or TD. On every issue, Chiru wants to come out with an independent stand, though it might coincide with the policies of one party or the other. He does not want to have any pre-poll understanding with any other party, but would go all alone in the elections, which would help him test his own strength.

It is learnt Chiru might even come out with his own policy on the controversial Telangana issue. Though there are two Telangana parties – TRS and NTPP fighting independently for the cause, Chiru does not want to have any understanding with either of this party, but would have his own strategy. He expects that if he supports Telangana, he can outwit both the TRS and NTPP by drawing huge supporters from both the parties

Naidu outsmarts KCR!

Thanks to the developments at the Centre, Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu has once again got into limelight, bringing all the non-Congress and non-BJP forces together on a common platform.

The entire focus of national media on Sunday was on Chandrababu Naidu who had hectic parleys with the Communist parties and Mayawati, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and president of Bahujan Samaj Party. He also held a lunch for these leaders at the residence of Yerran Naidu and addressed a joint press conference with them.

At the same time, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao also tried to hog the limelight by meeting Ajit Singh and Mayawati. Though he could attract only the Telugu media, no national channel came to him for his bites. In a way, he was completely overshadowed by Chandrababu Naidu. All that KCR could do was to stand behind Mayawati and nod his head in his typical style, while she was talking to media. After all, a party with five seats gets more attention that the one with just two seats!!

Jayaprada Meeting YSR

Actress turned Jayaprada who has been with Samajwadi Party is now thinking to join Congress apparently.

The present political situation is completely ad hoc and that is evident through odd combinations and unexpected unions. Jayaprada was with TDP for sometime and her differences with Chandrababu made her away from the party. She then joined with Samajwadi and moved very close with Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh. The reason for her quit from TDP was said to be the lack of attention paid by Chandrababu on her.

Now we have to see what attention YSR pays. And the reason for her idea to jump from Samajwadi to Congress is not known yet.
