Alert Alert says YSR...

This is more a battle of minds than power or influence, with the arrival of Megastar Chiranjeevi into politics the issue is now between YS Rajasekhar Reddy and Chiru himself when it comes to power but then the megastar has been having more than he can chew as he is pitted with a tough customer.

Recently, Chiru stated that the people in the state are unhappy with the present situation and they want a change. Chiru is still in dreams by stating that. However, YS was quick to lap onto the subject a few months ago and has been working vigorously to ensure that the government projects are driven full force and special focus is given on the rural and interior parts of the state where the major vote bank exists.

So, Chiru's plans to bring about a Tsunami have actually back fired since the situation is not that critical as he has assumed. Instead, he might have to come up with a larger than life performance if he is intending to stay in politics for a long time since the people seem to be satisfied with the current situation.

Challange between PRP vs CONGRESS

For the firs time, Praja Rajyam Party has openly accepted the challenge thrown by the Congress on development of the State.

Reacting to the challenge made by Information Minister Anam Ramnarayan Reddy to Chiranjeevi to show that there was no development in the State, PRP leader K S R Murthy and others on Monday said they were accepting the challenge. They pointed out that the so-called development was only superficial, which was grossly inadequate to improve the living conditions of the people.

'If there is so much development, why the people are still agitating for land, fertilizers, seeds, rising prices, drinking water and medical facilities in remote areas? Let the Congress come out for an open debate on all these issues," the PRP leaders said.

So, the straight battle between the PRP and the Congress has begun. Let us watch the tamasha!

He follows father foot steps....by checking his videos

Balakrishna's guru in film acting is none other than his father NTR. Now he turned the guru again for his political speeches as well. Chandrababu Naidu felt that Balakrishna needs thorough training to speak on dais and for the purpose he has found that the best way would be giving orientation for him by showing the speech videos of legend NTR. Balakrishna should now learn to adopt the constructiveness in speech by watching his father's harangues.

Balakrishna is going to learn the nuances before he sounds his first political campaigning speech in Yuva Garjana at Guntur in the month of October. The motive of the speech is to pump in confidence among the party cadre and also pull the attention of voters. While Chiranjeevi is going in his way, Balakrishna, his filmy opponent is vying with him on political arena as well.

Chandrababu believes that film stars influence voters and he took the examples of Jayaprada, Ghattamaneni Krishna, Krishnam Raju and many. Now we have to see how far the impact of Balayya babu would fall on voters.

PRP party fund is 1600cr!!!

If you think that you have it in you to make it to the 'Praja Rajyam' party established by Megastar Chiranjeevi then here are the numbers that you need to be prepared with when it comes to investment. We are talking about the money and according to our reliable sources, these are the numbers for the game.

There is news that PRP is expecting his party members to give Rs 4 crores just for the memberships and given the 293 assembly seats, the amount touches Rs 1172 crores. Apart from that, there are 40 seats for parliament and for this the investment required is Rs 10 crores which takes the total number to Rs 400 crores.

All in all, the total amount is expected to be around Rs 1600 crores and given the size of it, 'Praja Rajyam' is more like a national level party looking at its funds. However, the truth remains that if aspiring members are to put up with such type of investment then it is obvious that they would look at recovery from the public only once they get to power. While Chiru has been looking at a service oriented party, such incidents give clear picture about the essence of what is going to be the future of his 'Praja Rajyam' too.

KCR fort ni goud occupy chesthunnadu telusa!!!

Nava Telangana Praja Party president T Devender Goud on Friday virtually conquered Karimnagar, the stronghold of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao.

This is not the first time that Goud visited Karimnagar after quitting the Telugu Desam – before launching the NTPP, he visited Singareni Collieries to attract the coal mine workers. But this time, Goud received tremendous response from the Telangana activists, who were earlier backing the TRS.

A large number of Telangana agitators, including employees, students and other intellectuals attended Goud's meeting. All these forces, once strongly campaigned for the TRS. According to them, if the TRS joins hands with the Telugu Desam, its credibility would completely go down and KCR might even lose the elections in 2009. If Goud can muster support in Karimnagar, he can conquer the other parts of the Telangana too, sources say.

Cartoon of the day

Lets go attack

PRP chief Chiranjeevi might have thought he would enjoy good relationship with leaders of all political parties. But, he is already under attack from all sides.

While the Telugu Desam leaders have already launched virulent attack on him for poaching upon their important leaders and cadres into PRP, for the first time, Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy attacked Chiranjeevi from the dais of a public meeting at Anantapur. He said people should not get carried away by film stars, because politics is not acting. To serve people and understand their problems, one should be part of them and therefore, one cannot expect to become the Chief Minister overnight using his filmy image.

On the other hand, CPI-M State secretary B V Raghavulu also came down heavily on Chiranjeevi for encouraging defections from the Left parties. Those who were expelled from the party on the charges of criminal activities and corruption were also joining Chiranjeevi, who does not seem to have any control over who is coming into his party, Raghavulu said.

Bharatiya Janata Party and even TRS are also critical of the style of functioning of Chiranjeevi. As PCC president D Srinivas said the take off of PRP is not perfect.
