Its there duty to elect me!!!

Chiranjeevi got disturbed with the pre-election survey reports was evident from his speech at Rajahmundry.

Chiranjeevi said basically, he was not interested in politics when he was in the cinema field. It is due to pressure from various sections of people that he had taken a plunge into politics. “I felt that you are disgusted with the Congress and Telugu Desam, which have been looting the State for the five decades. And you wanted a change in governance and your lives. You have made me to take up this task. So, it is your responsibility to bring me to power and bless me,” he said.

The PRP president said if the people really wanted change, no statistics and surveys would prove correct. “Going by your response at this public meeting, I am gaining confidence that Praja Rajyam would be voted to power,” he said.

She says Politics is not dancing!!

The attacks and counter-attacks between Praja Rajyam Party mahila wing president Sobha Rani and Telugu Mahila president Roja continue to go unabatedly.

On Tuesday, Sobha said the Election Commission’s directive to political leaders not to resort to personal criticism was aimed only at Roja, who has been attacking Chiranjeevi, Pavan Kalyan and others day in and day out. “At least now, Roja should learn how to behave herself. She must realise that politics is not like dancing in films,” she said.

On her own comments against Roja, the PRP leader defended it saying she had only reacted to Roja’s comments.

He gets 15 cr!!!

As the time is coming near for the elections, the natural phenomena of crossovers and jumping over to various parties has begun and the past few days has seen some real big names crossing over their camps to join hands with the rival folks and creating a new identity for themselves.

In this process, a new name is now being featured and this is of the rebel star Krishnamraju. If news is to be believed then Krishnamraju who has been a long standing member of the BJP party is likely to slide towards Congress and here is an interesting piece of news on this change.

It is heard that the Congress camp is looking at funding close to fifteen crores to Krishnamraju if he accepts their invite and give him a ticket for the Narsapuram constituency. That way the Congress folks want to seal the doors for Chiranjeevi since that happens to be his native place. Let us see how this goes.

Babu athiprema Balakrishna ku Nachaleee!!!

Over 13 years after the political coup against N T Rama Rao, the TDP founder's son Nandamuri Balakrishna on Tuesday came to the defence of his brother-in law Chandrababu Naidu saying he was no backstabber and his actions were only intended to save the party.

"Chandrababu did not stab my father in the back to usurp power, as it was made out. Rather, he only tried to save the TDP given the circumstances that prevailed at that point of time," Mr. Balakrishna told reporters during campaigning in Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore district.

"Chandrababu had parted ways with N T Rama Rao only in the interest of the TDP. We (NTR family) have now come into the political arena to save the party and restore its glory," Mr. Balakrishna observed.

In a veiled attack on Chiranjeevi, who launched his Praja Rajyam Party, the TDP leader said some film stars were jumping into politics only to serve their own interests. Mocking at the PRP's social justice slogan, Mr. Balakrishna said the Telugu Desam Party "ensured social justice 25 year ago, right at the time of its birth".

Maintaining that it was for the TDP high command to decide on whether or not to field him in the ensuing elections, Mr. Balakrishna said he would be glad to contest the poll from any constituency in the state.

Lokesh Helps NTR in Campaign!!!

Looks like Nara Lokesh Babu, only son of Telugu Desam president NChandrababu Naidu is all set to enter active politics now itself.

Though at present, Lokesh is participating in behind the screen activities of the party, he is likely to come before the public along with Jr NTR. In fact, Lokesh, too, participated in the Naidu-Jr NTR interaction at his residence on Tuesday and evinced interest in campaign. However, Naidu asked him not to be hasty, but enter the scene only when it is extremely essential. He, however, could help NTR in giving latest inputs for speaking in public.

Party sources say Lokesh has been coming to NTR Trust Bhavan almost on a regular basis and spending a few hours with party seniors to know how to handle sensitive political issues. Who knows, Lokesh might take control of the party activities one day or the other!
