Roja oka Iron leg : Shobha Rani


Praja Rajyam party mahila wing president Shobha Rani has made an appeal to film actress-turned-politician Roja, who quit the Telugu Desam Party on Monday.

‘Please don’t try to come into the PRP. We don’t know what will happen to our leader Chiranjeevi,” she said, in a sarcastic tone. She pointed out that Roja had proved an iron leg both in the TDP and the Congress. “When she joined the TDP, party president Chandrababu Naidu had a miraculous escape from naxalite attack. And when she met Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, within two days, he had perished. Somehow, some people have these vibrations in their body that can cause disaster for others,” Shobha Rani said.

The PRP mahila president called YSR’s son Jaganmohan Reddy and consoled him. It is not known whether she had advised not to entertain Roja or not.


KVP rushes to Delhi with suitcases?


Rajya Sabha member and Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s long time friend K V P Ramachandra Rao has rushed to New Delhi on Monday evening.

The obvious reason is to apprise the high command of the developments in the state congress and the demand for making Y S Jaganmohan Reddy as the Chief Minister. And for that, he has to appease the top leaders like Veerappa Moily, Ahmed Patel and other leaders.

Sources say KVP has taken a few ‘suitcases” as he used to do during the YSR period, to please the bosses. So, if not pressure tactics, suitcases will work to a great extent in changing the high command’s opinion.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee is likely to arrive in Hyderabad on Thursday to hold talks with various sections within the party. It is after his visit that the party may decide to convene a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) to elect its new leader.
