TDP and Congress in Doom and PRP in BOOM and atlast TUSS!!!
Internal surveys by the Congress and the Telugu Desam Party apparently seem to claim that Chiranjeevi may draw crowds, but would not be able to transform them into votes. Reliable sources in the two major political parties say that the Congress survey points to the ruling party getting at least 137 seats, while the TDP survey points to N Chandrababu Naidu’s party getting around 140 seats. However, the respective surveys seem to say that the entry of Chiranjeevi has voters polarised on caste basis, particularly in Krishna, East and West Godavari districts. According to the TDP survey, Kapus (including the sub-castes like Balijas, etc) constitute about 22 per cent of the total population, but it is unlikely that Chiranjeevi would get all the votes of his community.
“Chiranjeevi has die-hard fans in the Congress and the TDP, as has been indicated by the crowds that he attracted in the north coastal region, but our survey indicates that all this will not transform into votes for him,” said TDP parliamentary party leader K Yerranaidu.
Both the surveys also seem to warn the respective parties that first-time voters will be attracted to Chiranjeevi. Because of the entry of Chiranjeevi, the surveys indicate that Kammas, who constitute about nine per cent of the state’s population, are preferring the TDP as their first choice and, ironically, Congress as their second. Reddys, who constitute about eight per cent of the population, appear to prefer the Congress as their first choice and, again, ironically, the TDP as their second preference.
Women, the Backward Classes and upper castes, have been found by the surveys as ‘undecided’ and possibly tilt towards Chiranjeevi. Hence the surveys command the Congress and the TDP to immediately focus on these sections.
The TDP survey sees price rise, alleged corruption in irrigation and housing projects as going against the Congress, while the ruling party survey points to same development schemes, rural employment guarantee scheme, the Rs 2-akg rice scheme and ‘pavlavaddi’ as the sops that would fetch the party the 137 seats.
However, both the surveys left a margin of 30 to 40 seats either way depending on the possible alliances that can materialise between the Congress on the one side and the TDP on the other. “The TRS, T Devender Goud and the Left parties will have a say on these 30 to 40 seats depending on which of the two main parties they sail along with,” said one leader.
UNLIKELY HERO?
Cong survey gives the party 137 sure seats while TDP survey claims the party will win in 140. Both surveys wary of first-time voters’ tilt to the actor

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.

Tarampam Tarampam Telangana ku nenu sye: Chiru
So at last it is now official and clear. PRP leader Chiranjeevi has categorically declared at his road show in Jagitial, amidst firing of crackers, that his Praja Rajyam party is all in favour of separate Telangana.Chiranjeevi declared that his party would not come in the way, if the UPA government at the Centre announces the formation of Telangana. "I understand the sentiments of the people of Telangana and my party always respects the feelings of the people. My heart beats to the tune of your aspirations. We are for separate Telangana," he said.
What is more, he ended his speech with the slogan "Jai Telangana," as the people fired crackers. "Why is the Centre silent on this crucial issue? Let us all bring pressure on Delhi rulers to grant separate Telangana," he thundered. He said Telangana was not actually a backward area, as being claimed by a few leaders, but was pushed backward by the rulers in the past. "Let us all have a developed and glorious Telangana," he said.

Chiru medha no feelings boss!!!
Tarakarathna, the newly emerged 'Rajakeeya Rathna' has shared his firm opinions on his party, family relations and films freshly today.Balayya as CM:
"I never said Balayyya babai will be next CM. I only said that he will be CM in future. There is lot of difference between the two. The next CM will be Chandrababu Mamayya for sure", said Tarakaratna.
Media Creating Problems:
"We are all united. But media is creating some split among us. NTR is busy with his film. He cannot bring loss for a movie just for the sake of his personal and political interests. A day loss for a big budget movie is quite unimaginable. Hence he is sticking to his shooting as per my knowledge. Media also created some split between Kalyan Ram and NTR saying that they are fighting for Gannavaram ticket. That's not true".
Mamayya Sowed SW Seeds:
"We are all just kids in politics. Chandrababu Mamayya did a lot for the state. He has sowed in the seeds of software in his 9 year rule. Many families are living on that now. Every farmer family also has a software employee. There were no rains during his rule and that was a natural calamity where no one can correct".
My Films-My Venkatadri:
"I'm focused on my film 'Venkatadri' now. We are planning to release that in December. I don't have any other political desires now. I'm here only to support TDP as it was established by our grand father. And I'm the fan of Balayya babai and hence I wish to see him as CM in future".
About Chiranjeevi:
"I don't want to criticize or talk about any other party except TDP. I'm not at all prepared for such acts", is his statement when asked about Chiranjeevi.
About Lakshmi Parvathi:
I don't say anything about anyone. Everybody has got the right to have own feelings and opinions. Only people will give judgment at the end. Our TDP is a ray of hope for crores of Telugus. It will come to power for sure
