KCR son dilema!!

There are two contradictory reports in Eenadu and Andhra Jyothy on Monday on the contest by Telangana Rashtra Samithi general secretary K Rama Rao, son of TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao, in the coming elections. Eenadu report says Ramu will contest for Lok Sabha from Karimnagar, making his father to shift his constituency to Medak. Andhra Jyothy report says Ramu’s name has been finalised for Karimnagar Assembly constituency and that his father would contest as usual from Karimnagar Lok Sabha seat. So, what is right? Inquiries revealed that both the stories are correct in their own way, because Ramu had confused reporters of both the dailies by making different statements. He reportedly told them about both the possibilities, but no decision had been taken yet. He is still in a dilemma whether to go to LS or to the Assembly. So, there is the confusion.

Advantage Congress!!

Andhra Jyothy managing director Vemuri Radhakrishna, who has been spitting venom on Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and his son Jaganmohan Reddy day in and day out, is now forced to admit the survey conducted by Nielson-ORG-Marg for NTV, which has given advantage to the Congress in the next elections.

Radhakrishna, who participated in the debate of NTV, admitted that there is no anti-incumbency factor in the elections, as was expected by the Opposition parties, notwithstanding the allegations of corruption against the YSR government. So, the Congress still has an advantage in the elections.

However, Radhakrishna still expressed his optimism, saying that anything might happen in the next one month, as the TD manifesto will make a major difference in the voting pattern. That is his mentality!

JP wants to elected without any competion!!

Lok Satta president Jayaprakash Narayana, who has decided to contest from Kukatpally Assembly constituency, is not sure of facing tough competition from the other political parties.

So, JP is said to be negotiating with other parties to see that there would be no contest, so that he would get elected unanimously. He wants the other parties to believe that he is the symbol of democracy and would bring a radical change in the State politics. So, it is essential that he should be in the Assembly.

It is learnt only Praja Rajyam Party has conceded his request and decided not to field any candidate against him. But in the remaining parties, there is a tough competition. Congress candidate P Vishnuvardhan Reddy and TD candidate K Vijayarama Rao are trying hard to grab this seat. Who will vote for JP?

Balaiah's tour flop in Nellore

The second-leg of election campaign kicked off by Telugu Desam Party’s star campaigner Nandamuri Balakrishna in Nellore district has turned out to be a flop show.

Balakrishna started his tour from Tada on Andhra Pradesh-Tamil Nadu borders on Sunday morning. Though the TD leaders managed to mobilise large number of crowds for his road show, their response was poor because Balaiah’s speech was far from impressive. Unlike in his previous tour in Rayalaseema, Balaiah did not resort to thigh thumping or twirling of moustache, but gave a very insipid speech.

Praising the programmes announced in the Telugu Desam manifesto, Balaiah reiterated that Naidu would be the next Chief Minister. He said he was prepared to contest from any constituency, if he was asked to do so.

MRPS was used against Left by KCR

In yet another instance of crooked politicking, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao is learnt to be provoking Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi president Manda Krishna Madiga to demand the seats being preferred by Communists.

Madigas are dominant in several parts of Khammam, Nalgonda, Anantapur and Chitoor districts, apart from parts of northern Telangana. KCR, in his talks with Manda Krsihna, is learnt to have told him that the issue of categorisation of SCs would be resolved if separate Telangana State is formed. So, it is essential that more number of pro-Telangana MLAs and MPs get elected.

Therefore, he asked Krishna Madiga to ask for the seats of Communist, since they would any way stall separate Telangana. That way, the TRS could be safe. Will the Leftists keep silent?

Chiru targets KCR!!

Finally, Praja Rajyam Party president Chiranjeevi is understood to have chosen Peddapalli constituency in Karimnagar district, the bastion of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao, as his second constituency to contest the ensuing Assembly elections.

Obviously, Chiranjeevi wants to pay KCR in his own coin and disprove the latter’s allegation that PRP does not have any clarity on Telangana issue. Peddapalli is very close to Karimnagar town and is dominated by the TRS in every village. Initially, there was a talk that Chiranjeevi would choose Adilabad to contest because of its backwardness and also lack of much competition either from the Congress or the TRS.

But he seems to have changed his mind and is focussing on Karimangar, where he began his first political journey. Since then, PRP has been growing stronger and stronger in this district, particularly in the urban areas.
