Is this True relationship!!!
But now, this place seems to have been taken by Vijayashanti as it is being noted that such events are having her presence. This is said to be giving negative signal to voters and watching them sitting side by side, the Telangana people are said to be disappointed.
They are not happy about KCR and are saying that this is giving a wrong projection society wise and even politically it is not looking impressive. KCR is known for his stubborn attitude but if his own people feel otherwise, then it is time he should consider changing the seating positions. The TV Channels have been showing both of them performing poojas together. In fact, no brother and sister will perform pooja sitting side by side and following the mantras of pujari. Only wife and husband does that, say scholars.
Naidu backstabs Kootami partners!
So, the TDP would be contesting in 221 assembly and 29 Lok Sabha seats; TRS in 45-09 seats, CPI and CPI-M in 14-09 seats each. Sakshi daily, supporting the Congress party, was hoping that the Mahakootami would crumble and split; but it did not happen. So, it attacked Chandrababu Naidu directly, saying he had backstabbed even his friends by asking his party leaders to file nominations in the alliance seats, thereby blackmailing them. It said Naidu’s “jadoo” (Magic) made the alliance partners succumb.
On the other hand, Andhra Jyothy and Eenadu gave positive stories, saying that the Mahakootami finally materialised with alliance coming to an understanding on seat sharing. Eenadu also gave how rebels are troubling all political parties by filing their nominations as independents. Maximum number of rebels in TDP and PRP filed their papers on the last day of nominations in the first phase. While Andhra Jyothy gave a lot of prominence to Chiranjeevi’s road show in East Godavari in which he attacked the Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, Sakshi carried the road show of YSR at Maheshwaram, in which he came down heavily on Mahakootami, where parties are fighting for selling of tickets.
The allotment of symbols to PRP and Lok Satta by the EC is the only other interesting news in the dailies on Tuesday.
Balakrishna will not contest ???
Actor and Telugu Desam star campaigner Balakrishna has decided not to contest the polls this time.
Party sources said Balakrishna had informed Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu about his decision a few days ago.
Earlier, considering Balakrishna’s attachment with the Rayalaseema region, Mr Naidu had planned to field him as a candidate either from Hindupur or Kurnool Lok Sabha segments. Sources said there was overwhelming support for Balakrishna from both these places.
The Hindupur Telugu Desam sitting MLA, Mr P. Ranganaayakulu, even offered his seat and announced he will stay away from polls. But ultimately Balakrishna decided to stay away from contesting this polls.
Now, the TD chief, Mr Chandrababu Naidu, has tentatively decided to allot the Kurnool LS seat either to Mr B.T. Naidu who belongs to the backward Boya Valmiki caste or Mr Nimmala Kishtappa, ex-minister.
Meanwhile, Md. Gani will replace Mr Ranganayakulu in Hindupur Assembly segment. The chances of Mr Ranganayakulu getting a ticket appears remote with the decision to field Md Gani.

Krishnam Raju denied PRP ticket?
Keeping everybody guessing till the last minute, Allu Aravind reached Visakhapatnam from Hyderabad to file his papers on the last day of filing of nominations.
His name was included in the fourth list of candidates released Monday. There was suspense as to which constituency he will contest from. Some party leaders had hinted that he might contest from Visakhapatnam.
Allu Aravind is brother-in-law of actor-turned-politician and Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi. He is considered to be the brain behind Chiranjeevi’s plunge into politics.
Allu Aravind is the only close relative of Chiranjeevi who will be contesting the next month’s elections. The actor’s brothers, actors Pavan Kalyan and Naga Babu are not contesting, while Chiranjeevi will be contesting from Tirupati assembly constituency.
Meanwhile, the party has denied a ticket to veteran actor and former union minister Krishnam Raju, who was expected to be fielded from Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha constituency.
Raju had quit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to join Chiranjeevi’s party last month and party sources had hinted that he might get the ticket from Visakhapatnam or Narsapuram.
PRP has fielded Srinivas Yadav from Visakhapatnam. The other Lok Sabha candidates in the fourth list are Kasani Gyaneswar (Chevella) and Balraj Goud (Mahabubnagar). Both Gyaneswar and Goud are leaders of Mana Party, which has entered into seat sharing agreement with PRP.
