Fans not so keen on Dalit CM

The Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi’s statement of making a Dalit as the Chief Minister if his party was voted to power has not gone down well with his fans. The annoyed fans, led by several delegations, called on Chiranjeevi on Tuesday and made it clear that they want to see him as the Chief Minister and “none”.

They told him that such statements could send wrong signals to the party activists which comprises mostly of fans. Realising the gravity of the situation, the Chiranjeevi camp jumped into action to set things right.

The actor-turned-politician met senior leaders to take stock of the situation. He asked the party spokesperson, Dr Mitra, to “clear” the clouds over his statement. Party leaders found themselves in a piquant situation as they could comment against Chiranjeevi’s stand and at the same time could not pacify the furious fans.


Selling his pride

Vijayawada: The media managers of the Chief Minister, Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy have proved that pickles man-turned-media baron Ramoji can be bought any number of times. His commitment against Congress will get compromised against the money that the government is offering him from time to time in the form of advertisements.

Despite Ramoji planting lead stories against YS, the Chief Minister's media managers have found a new method of purchasing the top slot of the front page of Eenadu. The top slot is being used to beat the drums for YS on one side and on the other they have succeeded in preventing Ramoji from using the same slot to plant stories against the government or YS.

A couple of senior IAS officers and some of the senior officers of the Information and Public Relations Department, who form part of the YS media management, have been working on coming up with new style of advertisements, exclusively for Eenadu.

These handful of handpicked officers have been proving time and again that Ramoji's anti-Congress commitment can be bought with an advertisement. They have proved it on Tuesday too by having a story of their choice on the top slot of Eenadu. Many more such stories, in the form of advertisement, are being planned for the days to come.

Dont wont for chiru says Rajasekhar

"Please don't vote for Chiranjeevi. Please give value to your lives and your children's future. I have personal touch with Chiranjeevi and hence I'm saying this. He is misfit to be a politician. A politician should be in reach of public. But Chiranjeevi is not that type. He is not Andari Vadu but 'andanivaadu'. He runs to America if any problem comes to him. If we make him CM he will run away like that when people are in problem", said Dr Rajasekhar in an interview given to TV9 this evening along with his wife Jeevitha.

He also said about the plight of leaders those have walked into PRP from various parties saying, "Only the leaders those are waste and considered to be trash are joining PRP now. And their plight is something pity. "Rajuni chusi mogudini vadilesi vellinattu undi". They learn big lesson in PRP".

Finally he said, "I give zero marks to Chiranjeevi as politician. I'm saying only the things those are in circulation in public".

People suggests Rajasekhar is the right person!!!

TV9 declared that 63% of votes were polled in support of Rajasekhar stating that he is right person to compete with Chiranjeevi in coming elections by represnting the same constituency that Chiru represents. Both Rajasekhar and Jeevitha said that either of them are ready to vie with Chiranjeevi in coming elections. Adding to all this as majority voted in support of Rajasekhar it stands out to be a diturbance in Chiru camp. As they feel that majority population is behind Chiranjeevi, now the polled SMSs hit their morale. Let us see what happens.

TV9 vs NTV on politics

Two news channels are now equally popular and they are TV9 and NTV. While some people come and strike their thighs in challenge on others, the others are coming to other channel to do the same.

While the political tensions are rising high, its direct impact is being felt on the film industry too and making full use of this are the TV channels who have been bringing about various film personalities and cascading their opinions to the viewers.

Apparently, the famous TV9 channel came up with a special interview program on actor Rajasekhar and his rather smart wife Jeevitha. The couple was fully loaded with anti Chiru ammunition and did not waste a second to promote that he is an absolute disaster and can never make a good leader.

On the other hand, the NTV came up with their special that had the eccentric Posani Muralikrishna along with the suave and sophisticated Murali Mohan. While Murali Mohan's stand was more against the Congress party, it appeared that Posani was hitting directly at Rajasekhar. Some say it is trouble invited by Rajasekhar himself.

So while the Kabaddi match between the two channels was on the ones to have a laugh about it are as always the general public. But it must be said that such lambasting sessions are signs of mere immaturity and a statement of ego that is being passed without a sensible thought towards service or public welfare.
