YSR DOUBLE HAPPY!!!

With the over come of results from the five states and the most happeist man in the Congress is none other than our Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

YSR is learnt to be of the view that AP would also repeat the Delhi results, provided the Congress high command would leave it to him the selection of candidates in the elections. "There are a lot of similarities between Delhi and AP. In both the States, there is no dissidence in the party and no alternative leadership to the existing CMs. In Delhi, Shiela Dixit was given full freedom. If YSR, too, is given freedom, he would work wonders," sources close to him said.

The Chief Minister is confident that the high command would not dare to go against his wishes; since it would prove counter productive. Like in Delhi, the Opposition is not so strong in AP and more over, it is divided. "If it is a vote for development in Delhi, then, it would be the same in AP," he observed.

A very rare Laughing Treat By Pawan Kalyan

Yuvarajjam PRP leader Pawan Kalyan may be the most talented stars in the Telugu industry and he might also hold the maximum appeal among the youth but then it is very rarely seen that he shares a smile with the media or the public and has often been quite aloof with the rest of the folks. However, all of them were in for a big shock from Pawan yesterday.

It was during his official induction into the Praja Rajyam Party when Pawan was all smiles and one could feel that he was quite delighted with himself. Later, he was also seen speaking warmly with the media and other folks and this surely has come across as a surprise package for many.

Meanwhile, there are those who have been keen to know what happened to the CMPF (Common Man Protection Force) that Pawan had set up quite some time back and till date there is not a single piece of news about it. Now, with this new role of his, let us wait and see how effective he is.

YSR Got Identity With Sureedu or Surreedu got identity with YSR?

Folks here is one man who has been like a shadow to the Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy and it is getting very hard to imagine the CM without this man by his side. Almost every cartoon of YSR in News Papers is being identified with grey haired Sureedu behind him.

His name is Sureedu and though he is not educated or speaks to the media, sources say that he is the most trusted lieutenant for YS and under the CM's shadow, Sureedu is said to have amassed wealth up to 100 crores. He is also the first point of contact if the senior VVIPs need a favor. Sureedu's association with YS has become so prominent that even cartoons in newspapers see them together.

Given this situation, it has now become obvious that YS has got a special identity of sorts with Sureedu and for all those around him, they know that the key to approach YS in a rather subtle way is to impress Sureedu first and then get to the main person.

Family entertainer party!!

look like Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi is under tremendous pressure to remove the impression among the people that his party is a family outfit. The appointment of Pawan Kalyan as the youth wing president of PRP on Sunday has confirmed these charges.

Chiranjeevi ,however, is trying his best to rebut these allegations. He said Pawan Kalyan was really committed to social justice and had been actively involved in people's programmes. It was the people's wish that he would take active part in politics. Secondly, Aravind was more like a friend than his brother-in-law and had been his backbone all these days. So, there is nothing wrong in involving them in the party affairs, he said.

Notwithstanding his clarifications, the allegations continue to gain ground. Already, it has gained the image of being a Kapu party, because most of those who occupied top slots in the party belong to this community. In the coming days, Chiranjeevi is likely to appoint his brother-in-law Allu Aravind as party general secretary and brother Naga Babu as campaign committee incharge. And that would lead to further criticism.

Power star is the No 2 in PRP

So what ever the AP people expecting the same thing happened today and that announcement of no 2 in the PRP. Younger brother Pawan Kalyan is going to be No. 2 in Praja Rajyam party. He is all set to become the president of "Yuva Rajyam," the youth wing of PRP.

Though Pawan Kalyan has been indirectly controlling the party affairs, there were doubts over his exact role in the party. While some leaders and activists were approaching Naga Babu and others Allu Aravind on various issues including joining the PRP or taking up membership drive, they were still in confusion as there was no role clarity.

Now, Chiranjeevi made it clear and official. By declaring Pawan Kalyan as youth wing chief, he sent a signal that he would be directly officiating the party affairs, when he is out of the state capital.

So, friends, approach the "Pujari" first before praying the "God"!

TRS and TDP dosti dosti in TDP Bhavan...

After a gap of nearly seven and a half years, Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders stepped into NTR Bhavan, the headquarters of Telugu Desam.

Though TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao himself did not go to the TD office, he sent his deputies led by B Vinod Kumar and they were received well by the TD leaders. Some of them, who were earlier part of the TD, felt nostalgic, as they entered the NTR Bhavan. They felt that it all looked like homecoming. Later, the TRS leaders attended a meeting held by TD and the Communists on the Babli issue.

The TRS has more or less decided to join hands with the TD and Saturday's meeting brought them further closer. The moot question is whether it would benefit both the parties.

Betrayal behind lies NTR Atma Garjana

CD titled NTR Atma Garjana containing NTR’s statements on the coup that led to his dethronement in 1995 and the betrayal and treachery of the Telugu Desam president, Mr Chandrababu Naidu, was distributed in the Assembly lobbies on Wednesday.

The CD contained a video presentation of the former chief minister’s last interview and his appearance in a TV show. In the CD, NTR exposed Mr Naidu to the hilt by narrating the coup that led to his dethronement in 1995.

Criticising Mr Naidu of "betrayal and well planned treachery," NTR asked the people to realise the truth. He also pointed out his popular welfare schemes which were later either scrapped or modified during Mr Chandrababu Naidu’s regime.
