Roja says "I know how to bend Chiru"

Roja don't likes to put an end to end war of words with Praja Rajyam Party leaders.

Roja has not only refused to apologies to Chiranjeevi for her ugly comments against him and his brother Pavan Kalyan; but does not even want to regret for the controversy. On the other hand, she says she would not relent till Chiranjeevi himself apologies to her for instigating PRP Mahila wing chief Sobha Rani.

“I have no enmity with Sobha, since I know pretty well that it was all a game plan of Chiranjeevi to gain petty political mileage. If he doesn’t apologise, I know how to make him bend,” Roja said, in a much aggressive tone.

At end of collapse !!!

The proposed ‘grand meeting’ (maha garjana), planned to be held on March 9 at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad by the Grand Allaince has been cancelled.

While some party leaders say the meeting has been cancelled because of insufficient time to organize the meeting on a grand scale. But some insiders say that the Grand Alliance partners are not sure of being able to mobilize masses, for they think the mass base is no more with the Grand Alliance partners.

It is not true to say the meeting has been cancelled because of insufficient time. The left parties’, which are known for their skills in mobilizing masses, need no more than a couple of days to do the job and TDP, TRS are no less experts in mobilizing people just like Congress, by paying money for the participants, sources said.

Then what makes them cancel the meeting at a time when they are supposed to show their strength. Is it because there are serious differences between the partners of Grand Alliance over seat sharing?

Whatever the reason, but canceling the meeting has only sent wrong signals to the people about the unity of the Grand Alliance.

"Jai Ho" Song for Congress towards election 2009

Congress got the exclusive rights of the film’s number, “Jai Ho” for the summer campaign. According to sources, the party has secured the rights of both the lyrics and the tune of the hit number for use in its campaign for the general election. Sensing interest shown by its rivals in the film’s title song, Congress moved fast to clinch the deal. The Oscar won by music director A R Rahman and lyricist Gulzar for the song gave “Jai Ho” unprecedented popularity. What perhaps made the Congress managers curious about the number was its ability to break the language barrier. “It appeals to everybody irrespective of the region and language group,” remarked a party functionary.

Will congress regain power with this Oscar Song!!!!

PRP President's Fight towards Symbol

PRP president Chiranjeevi is definitely upset with Election Commission’s decision not to grant a common election symbol for the party, but he is trying to put up a brave front.

On Tuesday, Chiranjeevi held discussions with PRP’s legal cell leaders and also met Election Watch observer K J Rao to find a way out of the crisis. He said he would move the High Court again and also explore all possible ways to get a common symbol. “We will fight till the end to get justice. Otherwise, we have to think of an alternative,” he said.

Thought the option of fighting the elections under the banner of Nationalist Congress Party is still available, Chiru thinks it is better to exhaust all options before taking it up. Well, one option is available. Grease the palms of powers-that-be in the Election Commission and get the work done!

KCR Scary on ????

TRS president KCR made a surprise announcement on Tuesday: that his nephew and sitting MLA T Harish Rao only would be TRS candidate for Siddipet Assembly constituency.

There was a serious talk in the party circles that KCR would field his son K Rama Rao from Siddipet, which is his native constituency and that he would shift Harish Rao to either Ramayampet or Sanga Reddy or some other suitable constituency in Medak district.

This is because Siddipet is a safe seat and he does not want his son Rama Rao to lose the elections at any cost.

However, Harish Rao brought pressure on KCR through the party workers, who are by now loyal to him. Harish nurtured Siddipet constituency very well and knows each and every family in it. If Harish is shifted, it might prove counter productive to the TRS, since KCR knows that Harish is capable of joining hands with the Congress secretly and defeat Rama Rao. Hence, the change in mind!

TRS troubles's Mahakootami

TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao has become a big headache for Mahakootami leaders, particularly TDP N Chandrababu Naidu.

On Tuesday, the Mahakootami leaders were expected to meet at Naidu’s residence to finalise the seat sharing and also discuss arrangements for the proposed Maha Garjana on March 9. But, KCR conveniently avoided the meeting, as a result, the meeting had to be cancelled. On Monday night, too, KCR abruptly walked out of the Mahakootami meeting for reasons only known to him.

Now, Naidu is a little upset with KCR’s behaviour. He is also angry with the statement of TRS leader B Vinod Kumar that the seat sharing in Telangana would be decided only by TRS and not the TD and that after deciding its own seats, the TRS would leave the remaining seats to the other Mahakootami partners. If that is the case, what is the sanctity for forming an alliance, Naidu argues
