Govt to take over Telangana Bhavan?

Can the Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government take over the Telangana Bhavan, the headquarter of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi?

Well, the answer is yes, according to former minister and Tadipatri MLA J C Diwakar Reddy. In an informal chat with media persons on Wednesday, Diwakar Reddy said while allotting five acres of land to the TRS five years ago, the State Cabinet has put forth a condition that the government would have all the rights to take back the land and properties allotted to the TRS, if the party faces a split or disintegration.

“Going by the present situation, it appears that the TRS is heading for a split and the party is getting disintegrated. There is no Telangana talk now. So, if the government wants, it can take back the Telangana Bhavan,” Diwakar Reddy argued.

Rosaiah had premonition about JC?

Former panchayat raj minister J C Diwakar Reddy, who failed to make it to the state cabinet, is obviously a disappointed man.

The disappointment turned into anger, when he did not get an appointment with Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy at the camp office. He waited there for more than an hour, but was told YSR was busy. He left the place in a huff.

“Let me find out the reasons why I was left out. But that does not affect my relationship with the Chief Minister,” he said. Interestingly, it was only a couple of days ago that K Rosaiah suggestively asked JC whether he did not want to get into cabinet.

Reacting on the reports that JC was interested in becoming pro-tem Speaker, Rosaiah made this enquiry. JC said it was all media creation and he wants to become minister and not speaker.
