YSR Got Identity With Sureedu or Surreedu got identity with YSR?

Folks here is one man who has been like a shadow to the Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy and it is getting very hard to imagine the CM without this man by his side. Almost every cartoon of YSR in News Papers is being identified with grey haired Sureedu behind him.

His name is Sureedu and though he is not educated or speaks to the media, sources say that he is the most trusted lieutenant for YS and under the CM's shadow, Sureedu is said to have amassed wealth up to 100 crores. He is also the first point of contact if the senior VVIPs need a favor. Sureedu's association with YS has become so prominent that even cartoons in newspapers see them together.

Given this situation, it has now become obvious that YS has got a special identity of sorts with Sureedu and for all those around him, they know that the key to approach YS in a rather subtle way is to impress Sureedu first and then get to the main person.

Family entertainer party!!

look like Praja Rajyam party president Chiranjeevi is under tremendous pressure to remove the impression among the people that his party is a family outfit. The appointment of Pawan Kalyan as the youth wing president of PRP on Sunday has confirmed these charges.

Chiranjeevi ,however, is trying his best to rebut these allegations. He said Pawan Kalyan was really committed to social justice and had been actively involved in people's programmes. It was the people's wish that he would take active part in politics. Secondly, Aravind was more like a friend than his brother-in-law and had been his backbone all these days. So, there is nothing wrong in involving them in the party affairs, he said.

Notwithstanding his clarifications, the allegations continue to gain ground. Already, it has gained the image of being a Kapu party, because most of those who occupied top slots in the party belong to this community. In the coming days, Chiranjeevi is likely to appoint his brother-in-law Allu Aravind as party general secretary and brother Naga Babu as campaign committee incharge. And that would lead to further criticism.

Power star is the No 2 in PRP

So what ever the AP people expecting the same thing happened today and that announcement of no 2 in the PRP. Younger brother Pawan Kalyan is going to be No. 2 in Praja Rajyam party. He is all set to become the president of "Yuva Rajyam," the youth wing of PRP.

Though Pawan Kalyan has been indirectly controlling the party affairs, there were doubts over his exact role in the party. While some leaders and activists were approaching Naga Babu and others Allu Aravind on various issues including joining the PRP or taking up membership drive, they were still in confusion as there was no role clarity.

Now, Chiranjeevi made it clear and official. By declaring Pawan Kalyan as youth wing chief, he sent a signal that he would be directly officiating the party affairs, when he is out of the state capital.

So, friends, approach the "Pujari" first before praying the "God"!

TRS and TDP dosti dosti in TDP Bhavan...

After a gap of nearly seven and a half years, Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders stepped into NTR Bhavan, the headquarters of Telugu Desam.

Though TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao himself did not go to the TD office, he sent his deputies led by B Vinod Kumar and they were received well by the TD leaders. Some of them, who were earlier part of the TD, felt nostalgic, as they entered the NTR Bhavan. They felt that it all looked like homecoming. Later, the TRS leaders attended a meeting held by TD and the Communists on the Babli issue.

The TRS has more or less decided to join hands with the TD and Saturday's meeting brought them further closer. The moot question is whether it would benefit both the parties.

Betrayal behind lies NTR Atma Garjana

CD titled NTR Atma Garjana containing NTR’s statements on the coup that led to his dethronement in 1995 and the betrayal and treachery of the Telugu Desam president, Mr Chandrababu Naidu, was distributed in the Assembly lobbies on Wednesday.

The CD contained a video presentation of the former chief minister’s last interview and his appearance in a TV show. In the CD, NTR exposed Mr Naidu to the hilt by narrating the coup that led to his dethronement in 1995.

Criticising Mr Naidu of "betrayal and well planned treachery," NTR asked the people to realise the truth. He also pointed out his popular welfare schemes which were later either scrapped or modified during Mr Chandrababu Naidu’s regime.

Chiru may contest from Hindupur!!!

Chiranjeevi’s hopes of winning over masses in Nellore and Chittoor districts in his fourth leg of ‘Praja Ankita Yatra’ could have been dashed following the AP High Court’s stay on roadshows.

But, pressure is mounting on him to test his luck from Anantapur district in the coming elections as Prajarajyam Party workers and his fans believe that he would storm the TDP bastion in the 2009 polls.

Sources said their euphoria was very much in tune with the tremendous response the PRP chief had received during his yatra in the Rayalaseema heartland, particularly in NT Ramarao’s stronghold of Hindupur, which had returned the TDP founder to the state assembly three times.

Target Chandhra babu by EK Police

Right now Ap politics are concentrating opposite candidate pluses and minuses. In this category the PRP falls. Naga Babu latest movie ek police targeting babu.

Dr N Siva Prasad who has now become a regular in the movies and was seen in 'Aatadistha' etc. his latest release was 'Ek Police' and Sivaprasad was seen as the opposition party leader. One of his dialogues was that the Chief Minister has given the public wealth to his family and brother-in-laws.

The dialogue goes, "Endi vayya? 5 yellallo baaga sampadinchesi bava maruduluki icchukuni, migathaadi Singapore vyaaparamlo pettukuntunnaavugaa". The dialogue is in fact targeting Chandrababu and off late it was noticed by some.

Now these lines may just be creating a furor at the Telugu Desam camp given the fact that Siva Prasad happens to be a close associate and member of the yellow brigade. The dialogue has surely got a satire and almost all the fingers pointing towards Chandrababu Naidu.
