'Roja is responsible, if Jagan won’t become CM'

Who is responsible for the Congress high command dilly dallying on making Y S Jaganmohan Reddy as the Chief Minister?

Ask Mahila Congress president Ganga Bhavani; she has the answer. Ganga Bhavani said it was former Telugu Mahila president Roja who would be held responsible if Jagan does not become Chief Minister. “Everything was okay, till this Maha Talli met YSR and decided to join the Congress. Our leader died. Later, when everything was working out well for Jagan to become the CM, she went and met him. And it has made high command to have other thoughts. I don’t want to call her iron leg. Let the people decide,” she said.

The Mahila Congress president accused Roja of coming to YSR’s residence in full-make up and wearing silk saree to pay homage to the departed leader. “She should apologise for making derogatory comments against YSR when she was in the TDP. She should rub her nose on the earth before Gandhi Bhavan in front of the people and the media, before coming into the Congress. Otherwise, we will not allow her,” she 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.

Dirty politics between PRP and TDP........!!!

People in both PRP and TDP changed the face of politics with there excellent wordings!!!! AND It all started with TDP Mahila president Roja and PRP Mahila Rajyam president Sobha Rani.

Chiranjeevi gave full permissions to the Praja Rajyam mahila chief Sobha Rani, and she just shown her brutal face to media with wordings towards ROJA. Shobha went on to allege that Roja has a shady background, which is too big to write a book. Everybody in the film industry knew how Roja had “entertained” film producers and even their sons to grow as a heroine; how she blackmailed Selvamani to marry her and how she runs bar in the night and darbar in the day. “Roja has a dirty behaviour and attire. Her brothers run belt shops in Chittoor. She is consuming liquor and dancing on the streets. We have been keeping quiet all these days; otherwise, our youth would have thrashed her long ago,” Sobha said.

Roja replied in equally filthy language. “Who is Sobha Rani and what is her political stature? Let her know how Pavan Kalyan had affairs with several women and also the background of Renu Desai,” she said. She made similar comments against Chiranjeevi and his illegal contacts with several artistes in the film industry.

My Hubby is cooperative!!!

Roja recently got off the political dais and got to share about her family. She said that her husband Selvamani has been full support to her and he has a great deal of interest in politics which has brought her here. Selvamani is a noted film maker in the southern circuit.

Roja also said that it is really heartening to see her two year old son who has just learnt to talk but then shows a lot of affection and concern for her mom even checking whether she had her morning coffee or not. Roja has also got a daughter and overall, this actor- politician is happy that her family symbolizes one happy unit.

Roja Blue film tho warning ata!!!

Telugu Mahila president Roja's journey from being a glamour doll on celluloid to a fiery politician on the country roads was not a cakewalk. After her campaign at many poverty-stricken villages, a weather-beaten actress spoke to Deccan Post. Excerpts:

You have been actively campaigning in rural areas. Do you think the emergence of new outfits and parties has affected Telugu Desam's poll prospects?
See, what you often see in the media is not reality. Being an active politician, I go to the masses. I know their pulse while trying to study their issues. Neither the TDP nor its president Chandrababu Naidu is going to be affected with the new development. I get support from more and more people each time I visit their villages across the State.

More and more film actors take to politics, the latest being Jayasudha.
Film actors usually enter into politics for reasons best known to them and you. I don't want to comment on such entries because it doesn't worth it. They have their own vested interests. How can we expect the film stars who are accustomed to luxuries go out in the blazing son and serve the public? Even Chiranjeevi seems to be very tired with his road show. It seems he will soon stop his political drama and go back home. ?

You also were an actress.
I didn't join politics for any position or personal benefit. In fact, my tryst with politics began when my father's friend was contesting an election. I wanted to campaign for him in the elections. But once I was out there with the public, I realised the problems faced by common people. Then I decided to work actively. Instead of taking up a key position in the party, I started learning how an actual politician should work for the society. And I still go out to the public and take up issues instead of sitting idle within the comfort of the office. ? You are undoubtedly the most active woman politician in the State today, taking up issues and fighting for the welfare of people.

Haven't you faced any problem in male-dominated politics?
Why not? Men generally don't like women in politics. They feel that it's their dominion. Apparently, many eyebrows rose when I plunged into active politics.

They say you have more enemies within your party than outside.
Well, not exactly. I don't have enemies as such. Perhaps, yes, there are jealous people around. They were there when I was in films too. Once a blue film cassette of a woman slightly resembling me was sent to the TDP office and there were concentrated efforts to malign my name. Our leader Chandrababu Naidu understood the reality. If it was an action meant to smear me in public the cassette might have gone to the media and the public. I know about myself. I don't care what gossipmongers and jealous lots say. I know my people. And people know me.

Do you think Chiranjeevi's entry will change the political equations in the State?
Sure, it will. But it doesn't mean that Chiranjeevi will bag several seats and will come to power. He may be able to split votes causing the State to have a hung Assembly. He is our good family friend. What he is doing is not exactly meant to serve the people as he claims. Splitting the votes will result in political chaos and in the process, the actual issues faced by people will be forgotten.

Did you get any invitation from to join Praja Rajyam?
Not really. He knows that I'm a committed politician. So, no one invited me. Chandrababu Naidu is a seasoned politician and my leader. Everyone knows that. ?

Will you contest the next Assembly elections?
Yes, I will. There is utmost happiness and satisfaction when you are voted by the people to represent them in the House. More over, you can bring in their issues to the government once you are an elected representative.

What do you think will be TDP's state after the elections?
Our party, under the undisputed leadership of Chandrababu Naidu, will sure be voted to power. And he will be our next Chief Minister. No doubts.
