Babu ki Cheyee and Babai ki Kaalu!!!

"Papam Babu ki chala asha undhi.....marri babai ki kantri ani telusu but still!!!!"

Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu has very high hopes on Junior NTR's campaign for his party in the next elections, but going by the sources, Jr NTR has developed second thoughts on supporting Naidu.

According to these sources, Jr NTR might not attend the "Yuva Garjana" rally to be organised by TD at Guntur on November 5. Naidu is roping in all the family members of N T Rama Rao, particularly Balakrishna to address the gathering at this rally, so as to galvanise the voters in favour of TD. He was hoping that Jr NTR would be the star attraction at the rally.

However, Jr NTR is learnt to have given dates for shooting of his latest film "MLA" in the entire first week and according to his schedule, he will be out of station along with Ileana for picturisation of a song on November 5, whenYuvagarjana is slated to take place. Watch out for more news on whether Jr NTR fixed the dates deliberately or he would cancel the dates to attend the rally.

Congress lo Reddy's ki check!!!!


Keen on retaining power beyond 2009, Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy is expected to cut Congress tickets to Reddys in the next elections. The impact of Praja Rajyam chief Chiranjeevi is already showing on the ruling Congress where a substantial section of leaders from BCs are clamoring for a bigger share.

According to insiders, Dr YSR is gearing up for a surgical intervention to remove the impression that the Congress is the natural choice of Reddys in the State. Presently there are 65 Reddy MLAs in the State Assembly. They comprise about one third of the Congress legislature party (CLP), which has a size of 185.

Compared to the Congress, Opposition TDP has less percentage of Reddy MLAs. Of the 46 members won on its ticket, only eight belonged to this farming community. Compared to the Congress, Reddy's presence in other parties like the CPI, the CPI(M), the TRS, the BJP and the MIM is minimal.

But, these 2009 elections are going to be entirely different. While Chiranjeevi has emerged as the clear choice of BCs and other downtrodden castes including numerically strong Kapus, the TDP has decided to consolidate its position among BCs, by allocating at least 100 tickets to them.

After the humiliating defeat in May 29 by-elections, TRS president KCR too has announced that he would give at least 50 seats to BCs in the next elections. Another pro-Telangana party, NTPP , too is expected to allocate a lion's share to BCs, as its chief Devender Goud is a mascot of subaltern castes.

"If we have given around 90 tickets to Reddys last time, it may not be more than 60 seats this time. Even if we come to power, Reddys dominance in CLP would be minimised," said a close aide of Dr YSR. Now, Reddys rule the roost in any CLP meeting as others rarely get a chance to speak.

"YSR has already begun hunt for nonReddy candidates and mostly BCs in most constituencies. He is looking for those who are young and also who can win," said the aide. If this happens, the Congress would go for a total revamp of its character in the State, he pointed out.

In such case, even if he scrapes through the next elections, the share of Reddys would be reduced in the Cabinet also. This would help pave way for a nonReddy Chief Minister, even if the Congress comes back to power. Stretching this logic further, YSR may be the last Reddy Congress chief minister in AP .

Indra back with bongu....sorry bang....

The "Praja Ankita Yatra," kicked off by Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi from Arasavilli temple in Srikakulam district on Thursday, resembled that of a similar rally shown in the megastar's mega hit movie "Indra" Exactly like in Indra, Chiranjeevi sporting black goggles, got down from helicopter, waving to the crowds and then moved into an open top vehicle receiving flowers and garlands from people, who lined up the streets in tens of thousands to cheer him. He threw up flying kisses at the people and saluted them in folded hands – all the scenes were exactly a repetitive of Indra sequence.

However, the difference is that the place in the film was Rayalaseema; but here it is Srikakulam. And in the film, Chiranjeevi had curved moustache; and in the real life, he was absolutely without any make-up and was his normal self. Perhaps, Chiru might have definitely recalled his Indra days!

Babu's new gamble....Babu antee garidi kadha..


Chiranjeevi replaced NTR as the Telugu film industry’s reigning superstar, and changed it forever; and now that he’s entered politics, he might change NTR’s political legacy as well. The Telugu Desam Party, which NTR founded in 1982 and with which he swept to power bare months later, has now announced support for the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh that is, by the standards of political discussion of that sensitive subject, quite unambiguous. Both the state’s major parties, the TDP and the Congress, faced considerable internal pressure about their Telangana policies for years — pushing them towards and away from support, towards and away from the Telangana Rashtra Samiti.

From the point of view of the next election, it is easy to see the appeal for Chandrababu Naidu and his politburo of taking this position. The TDP is obviously worried about the possibility that Chiranjeevi will make inroads into its base in coastal Andhra; and the communists, traditional allies of the TDP before Naidu allied with the NDA, had grown closer to the TRS recently. A possible win-win: Telangana would be secured, and so would the CPM. But it is actually an enormous gamble. Two key factors to track are: the disaffection in coastal Andhra that Chiranjeevi is exploiting, and, the disillusionment with the TRS that was made clear in the bye-elections that followed their legislators’ mass resignation from the assembly.

The TDP was founded as the party of Telugu pride. Its policies were populist, but its backbone was emotion. When Naidu replaced NTR, the TDP shed NTR’s instinctive grasp of populist policy-making; it replaced that emotion with clever, reformist, flexibility — but the emotional angle’s where Chiranjeevi might pose a threat. Getting behind Telangana at this point might help the TDP recapture some emotional content, but it means they won’t have even the memory of NTR’s up-tempo regionalism to call on. Naidu’s already shown incredible flexibility in the u-turn he gave his party’s image post-1995. Let’s see how the ruling Congress now responds.
