Vastunna Meekosam : NTR and Balakrishna meet babu during accident

Balakrishna in Vasthunna Meekosam yatra

Balaiah poor show in Chitoor!!!

Tirupati: Filmstar Balakrishna’s supporters blamed the scorching sun while TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu held the district unit responsible for the not so good turnout at the former’s roadshows.

Locals say Balaiah is not Jr NTR. Whatever the reasons, Balaiah’s roadshows in Naidu’s home district of Chittoor have come a cropper with a poor turnout at the various places since Monday.

Naidu is said to have monitored Balaiah’s roadshows on a minute-tominute basis and reportedly took to task the district leaders for failing to mobilize crowds in Satyavedu, Nagari, Puttur, Chandragiri and Piler constituencies.

What is worrying for Naidu is that some survey reports do not paint a rosy picture for the TDP in Chittoor district. However, Balaiah supporters as well as some local leaders are putting the blame on the scorching heat, almost touching 45 degrees Celsius in many parts of the district. “The response to Balaiah was very good till a few days ago. It has not been that good only because of the high temperature,” said one loyalist.

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.

Balakrishna Head replaced with chiru head!!!

Political campaigning is unveiling curtains for lot of creativity. While PRP chief Chiranjeevi has introduced his masks to pump enthusiasm in his fans and flag bearers, a hardcore fan Mathi Venkateshwara Rao has taken 10 steps ahead to morph an image of Balayya with Chiru's head. The famous Sri Krishna Devaraya get up of Balakrishna is being used by Chiru now. You can see the pic above. That was the still of Balayya who portrayed that role and entertained many Telugus in home and abroad. Probably Chiranjeevi might have felt that since he cannot do such role anytime in his life time, it is nice to see in this morphed picture. We don’t know what Mathi Venkateshwara Rao got from Chiru with this.

Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi says shame on you balaiah!!

President of defunct NTR-Telugu Desam party Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi is very much frustrated for being treated as a villain in the August 2005 coup by TD president N Chandrababu Naidu against her husband and former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao.

She reacted strongly to TD star campaigner Nandamuri Balakrishna’s comment that Naidu had not resorted to any backstabbing of his father, but had to stage a coup only to save the party from the clutches of Lakshmi Parvathi. “Balaiah should feel ashamed of defending Naidu, who had backstabbed his father. I throw him an open challenge; come for an open debate and say that what NTR said against Naidu in his tapes was wrong,” she said.

Of course, Balakrishna would not react to her challenge, because he knows the fact. And if he does, it would only give publicity to Lakshmi Parvathi. So, all that she speaks would not get her any publicity!

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.

Balaiah's tour flop in Nellore

The second-leg of election campaign kicked off by Telugu Desam Party’s star campaigner Nandamuri Balakrishna in Nellore district has turned out to be a flop show.

Balakrishna started his tour from Tada on Andhra Pradesh-Tamil Nadu borders on Sunday morning. Though the TD leaders managed to mobilise large number of crowds for his road show, their response was poor because Balaiah’s speech was far from impressive. Unlike in his previous tour in Rayalaseema, Balaiah did not resort to thigh thumping or twirling of moustache, but gave a very insipid speech.

Praising the programmes announced in the Telugu Desam manifesto, Balaiah reiterated that Naidu would be the next Chief Minister. He said he was prepared to contest from any constituency, if he was asked to do so.

Performance without script!!

Mega Star or Yuvarathna, the plight is same. Both are dumb while speaking on stage. There is no graceful impact on public. They don't know what they are talking. And they have never given clarity on the agenda of their party. They could never make a quotable quote and never made any impact on the hearts of public.

Nagam Janardana Reddy of TDP said that Chiranjeevi's speech has got no punch. In fact he too knows that Balakrishna's speech is worse. But he cannot express that in public being a soldier in yellow brigade. Nagam said that Chiru and NTR have no comparison at all. That is true indeed. NTR could make a firm mark as natural speaker.

Chiru or Balayya need script to speak. They have got no brain-tongue coordination like NTR and many other political speakers.

Although Pawan Kalyan and Roja made some statements, they ended up as controversies but they cannot be called the outcome of great speech. Pawan Kalyan's ISI allegation on Shabbir Ali and Roja's innumerable controversial statements speak less about her. Nagendra Babu, Jr NTR and Tarakaratna are now tightening their belts to hit district tours aggressively.

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!

Ratha Yatra ki Balayya's 'Drinking' Affecting

It is not even a week since Yuvaratna Nandamuri Balakrishna launched his "ratha yatra" from Anantapur district.

And Balaiah already looks exhausted. His voice has collapsed and the punch in his dialogues has gone missing. He is not able to speak continuously for five minutes and within that short time, he is literally searching for words. He is just waving to the crowds and thumping his thighs, but he is not able to speak cohesively.

People are comparing him with his father N T Rama Rao. For that matter, NTR never looked exhausted. He used to take all precautions to save his voice; he was mentally and physically fit because of his regular exercises and yoga. He never used to consume liquor, unlike Balaiah. And he could tour the entire State without any halt. That's how, he could win the hearts of the people, without gaining any media publicity!

Thoda kottadam ekkavua ayendhi!!!

Telugu Desam star attraction Nandamuri Balakrishna's road shows might be drawing huge crowds, but his dramatics are getting a bit too much.

On the first day of his tour in Hindupur, people cheered him when he thumped his thighs and twirled his moustache. But, he is repeating it everywhere. On Tuesday, Balaiah thumped his thigh again on seeing the crowds, but there was no applause from the crowds; this itself shows his overaction is not being appreciated everywhere.

Moreover, his oft-repeated dialogues from his hit films Samarasimha Reddy and Narasimha Naidu, are also not being cherished. Dialogues like "Kanti Chooputho Champestha"; "Mee Intikochcha, Mee Nattintikoccha.." are becoming very boring. Try for some thing new, Mr Balaiah!

Babu bhava maridhini kadhu ....NTR muddhu biddanu!!

The road shows of Yuvaratna Balakrishna, the star campaigner of Telugu Desam, has entered the fourth day and he is gradually opening up his mind on his future plans, much to the chagrin of TD president N Chandrababu Naidu.

Apparentlhy, Balaiah has realised that the people do not believe Chandrababu Naidu, nor do they have any soft corner towards him. So, he decided to take it upon himself to revive the glory of TD. In his road show in Kurnool district, Balaiah made it clear that he had to come into the people "not as Chandrababu Naidu's brother-in-law, but as son of late N T Rama Rao, to revive the past glory of Telugu Desam."

In Anantapur, too, Balakrishna told people that he would assume the responsibilities of implementing the promises made by Chandrababu Naidu in letter and spirit. "I will not allow anybody violating the promises made to the people," he said.

This is definitely an embarrassing situation for Naidu. He is now worried as to what extent Balaiah would go during his road shows. Don't be surprised, Naidu might even play spoilsport with Balaiah's roadshows midway!

Balaiah headache to Ramoji!!!

It is to be underlined that no English News Paper is giving coverage to Balayya's campaign. The reason is known. The people those prepare press note are getting confused of what Balayya is saying. They are unable to draft anything to drop in the offices of English dailies. And the news reporters from English dailies are also returning in silence without making any notes of what Balayya is saying. His confused speech is making the plight of TDP ruined.

On the other hand, ETV officials are also worried to give coverage for Balayya as people are laughing at his speech. Ramoji Rao worried that giving excessive coverage for Balayya's campaign would certainly affect TDP badly and hence telling his people to filter the content and show meekly. But the officials said it seems that there is nothing to trim and filter as everything in the speech is a trash. Ramoji is holding his head now.

It is now turn for Ramoji to educate Balayya in speech and also Chandrababu in the matter of giving orientation for Balayya before making him leap into campaigning on roads

Balayya for Paritala Death Anniversary !!!

The time has come to commemorate the fourth death anniversary of 'Penukonda Puli' Paritala Ravi and this time all eyes are focused on this one as a key gesture is going to happen. There is news that the anniversary which will happen at the Paritala residence will be graced by the presence of none other than Yuvaratna Balakrishna.

Paritala has been a loyal TDP follower and he has worked as an MLA from the Penukonda constituency. He was also the minister for labour for a while before the fangs of factionism struck him and he was assassinated brutally. Incidentally, Paritala was the saving grace during the 2004 election as TDP won a humiliating defeat but Paritala managed to win.

Balayya has been the rising hope for the Telugu Desam members and they have seen a lot of enthusiasm from the public with his arrival. With Balayya making a stronger presence in the TDP camp and his association with these events, it remains to be seen how crucial he gets to be for the coming elections.

Balaiah and Purandareshwari Drama!!!

The way Yuvaratna-turned-hope of Telugu Desam Nandamuri Balakrishna and his sister Daggubati Purandareshwari are expressing their willingness to contest against each other, is giving an impression that both are enacting a big drama.

Balakrishna has made the statement because he has to make some sensational news. He is more interested in contesting Assembly elections, whereas Purandareshwari wants to contest again as an MP.

So, they have no clash of interests. But, it would always be interesting for the media to highlight the contest between sister and brother and they can make a big news.

Political observers, however, say it is all drama. In 1982 elections, the then Congress leader N Chandrababu Naidu, too, challenged to contest against his father-in-law and TD founder N T Rama Rao, but after the elections, he somersaulted into the TD. Who knows, Purandareshwari, too, might jump into the TD, if Balaiah becomes the Chief Minister!

One Great Evening with NBK

Balaiah full length speech in YUVA GHARJANA

Here goes Balaiah full lenght speech and his speech tells about Telugu athma gauvramam and showing failures of congress. Enjoy the wording of speech :

"My eyes turned cool. My heart is filled with happiness. The young energy of all youngsters from 23 districts is here. It appears as if the land has begotten you all here. I thank everyone including my fans, media and all. The capable of making the impossible to possible is possible only for Telugus.

"Telugadela anna desambu telugenu
Telugu vallabhunda telugokonda
Ella nrupula kolava nergugave baasadi
Desa bhashalandu telugu lessa"

Sri Krishna Devarayaulu said this. We should be happy and proud for that. This is the land of Maguva Manchala. This is the land of Rani Rudrama. This is the land of Palanati Brahmanayudu. This is the land of Alluri, this is the land of Potti Sriramulu. I bow my head for this land and those stalwarts. I also bow to my father Viswa Vikyatha Nata Sarvbhouma NTR who erected the statues of all stalwarts of the state on Tank Bund and also boasted the pride of Telugu internationally. He is the fighter who dethroned the tyrannical rulers and kept the pride of Telugus high. He never said that he is going to politics. He didn't say even to his wife and children. He took many pains to win that position. He was the real 'monagadu'. Did you ever see any of his sons in secretariat during his rule? Did you see any of his sons as minister or politician? Did you see him calling police officers and IAS officers to his home for personal works? That is NTR.

People called 'Anna Rajyam-Rama Rajyam'. The present Congress government is creating turmoil; there is no protection in the state. There are terrorists intruding Andhra Pradesh. What is the help that farmers are getting from government? Why weavers are committing suicides. To get rid of all this the TDP should form government and cycles should ride inside Assembly.

Chandrababu has popularized the brains of Telugus in international scenario. If myriad Telugu families are earning big by sitting in USA, there is Chandrababu behind that. He did many great things to the state from roads and infrastructure to education. His 9 years of rule has never seen hike in consumer goods. He was the CM of people. He has served a lot for IT field. He did a lot of help for farmers. He was the man behind 'Raithu Bazaars'. How the roads were in 2004 and how the roads are now. If any body drops in a pit on road they would understand who is ruling the state. The state budget is about Rs 1 Lac Cr. But still the prices are not under control. It is not even controlling terrorism. It is not even helping farmers, the downtrodden and backward classes. The coming government is TDP. So we would do all those helps to people. In its 4 and half years of rule Congress has lifted its hands without giving any help for unemployed youth. I advise all you youth to play bog role to see TDP winning in coming elections. You should extend help for all our leaders. Your help is required for ever for TDP.

If we tap our thigh, with the very sound of that the hearts of rowdies and gundas should break their hearts. We should dictate terms to Congress with 'kanti choopu'. Who am I? I'm a Brahmin for wisdom (Okkamagadu dialogue).

I thank you all and wish you all the best. Jai NTR, Jai Telugu Desam, Jai Chandrababu Naidu".

Babu's new "vennupotu" to Balaiah......

The word 'vennupotu' is much popularized with Chandrababu Naidu and here is the latest update from TDP sources.

Balakrishna is not going to be the chief attraction in Yuvagarjana as the agenda of the event is subject to change with the interest of Chandrababau Naidu. Initially it was said that Balakrishna's debut into politics is going to be the chief aspect in the Yuvagarjana but now it is going to be just one of the many things.

Chandrababu is going to be the main speaker from the dais while Balakrishna will come and announce that he has joined with TDP officially. There is no other scope for him to speak in extended minutes.

Chandrababu, it seems, shared with his party men that depending on Balakrishna may not be wise thing and as Jr NTR, a relatively better speaker, is also not available, it is reasonable to dilute the effect of Balakrishna. Naidu fears that Balakrishna may spoil the show by talking something irrelevant as he did in many of his recent film functions.

While Chiranjeevi was the solo speaker on Tirupathi dais on 26th August, here on Yuvagarjana there are going to be 12-15 speakers all together. Chance will be given for almost all the main party leaders from the categories of region, caste and position. The National Highway on which Nagarjuna University is situated is going to be decorated with 6 feet TDP flags for about 70 km. The road between Vijayawada and Chilakaluripeta will be the most happening one on 5th of November.

Balakrishna in Latest Political getup!!!
