Chiru says my tax info not for all:

The Income-Tax department in Chennai turned down ex-MLA and former APSRTC chairman, Mr Gone Prakash Rao’s request for income tax details of Praja Rajyam chief, Chiranjeevi.

Mr Prakash Rao filed a request under the Right to Information Act to the deputy commissioner of I-T, Chennai. The commissioner asked Chiranjeevi if he had any objections. Chiranjeevi wrote back saying he “strongly objected” to the request. It further said: “The information is confidential. Chiranjeevi objected as it amounts to invasion of privacy. In view of this the information is rejected.” Mr Rao mentioned in his application that Chiranjeevi told a meeting that his income was an open book which could be accessed by anyone.

Chief Minister Conspiracy

Telugu Desam star campaigner Nandamuri Balakrishna is not interested in contesting Lok Sabha; and is more enthusiastic about contesting the Assembly elections.

If one were to read between the lines of his statement, one can easily understand his intentions. Balaiah is eyeing on the Chief Minister's post sooner or later. If the Telugu Desam comes to power, Balaiah has every right to stake claim for the CM's post, suggesting his brother-in-law Chandrababu Naidu go to national politics as a king maker. Thus, he can bring pressure on Naidu through his fans and party cadres to concede his demand. If Naidu insists on being the CM, there can even be a coup in a couple of years down the line.

That is the reason why Naidu is very keen on sending Balaiah to Lok Sabha, so that there would not be any hurdle for him in the State. And Balaiah is trying to checkmate his bava's plans. Good, but first see that TD comes to power!
