February 17, 2011 By 40 Comments
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) MLAs attacked Lok Satta leader Jayaprakash Narayan near media point at Assembly. Huzurabad TRS MLA Etela Rajender's car driver (???) even beat JP on the head. Yellareddy MLA Enugu Ravinder Reddy watched the ugly incident standing behind the driver. Congress MLC Paladugu venkatrao tried to protect JP but his efforts went in vain and he too faced the wrath of these ..... MLAs. TV9 footage: Minutes before the incident, Sircilla MLA KTR asked fellow MLAs to beat Jayaprakash Narayan (Kottandra Vanni). ABN Channel footage: Huzurabad MLA Etela Rajender also tried to beat but narrowly missed as JP was taken away by security men. Jayaprakash Narayan wept after the incident. Telugu Desam and Congress party leaders criticised the incident but TRS leaders criticised JP even after the incident and justified their "rowdy" act. TRS activists attacked Medak district Lok Satta president Srinivas in Siddipet. Jayaprakash Narayan decided not to complain against MLAs & rowdies. He described the incident as an "attack on democracy." Jayaprakash Narayan elected to Andhra Assembly from Kukatpally constituency in Rangareddy district. He is one of the rare leaders in AP who took on TRS. Black day in the history of Andhra Pradesh. Jayaprakash Narayan is a retired IAS officer from Krishna district.

PRP merged in Congress
February 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Prajarajyam Party (PRP) is merged with Congress Party. According to AP Congress party in-charge, Veerappa Moily, Chiranjeevi is now a member of Congress party. What a fall!!! Chiranjeevi also confirmed merger news at a press-meet in New Delhi after meeting Congress party president Sonia Gandhi. Chiru and Sonia discussed about merger for 2 hours. Implications of Congress-PRP alliance: In 2009 elections, Congress got 37% votes while PRP got 18% votes. NTV survey after 4-5 months: Congress got 35% votes while PRP got just 12% votes. Jagan may split 10-12% of Congress votes. Can PRP compensate this loss? In politics, 2+2 can become 0 or 10. We have to closely monitor the political moves of PRP cadre. Our view: Congress party now has 26-28% vote bank in Andhra while PRP may have around 5-6% vote bank. Is it enough? … [Read more...]
Maddelachervu Suri murdered in Hyderabad
January 3, 2011 By 3 Comments
Update: Faction leader Maddelacheruvu Suri alias Gangula Suryanarayan Reddy died in Apollo Hospitals at 7:55 PM. He was admitted to hospital in severe coma. Suri was fired at point blank range in the head and chest. His close follower Bhanu Kiran is the main suspect. Suri murder is a case of another murder by a close follower after Pandu murder by a close follower. Both murders occured in Yusufguda area in Hyderabad. Pandu was murdered in Madhura Nagar while Suri was murdered in Navodaya Colony. Both gangsters were murdered by their trusted followers!!! Why these murders? Main leaders generally register their properties on Binamies who are generally their trusted followers (right hand). These trusted ones are now killing their leaders to permanently own the properties. Huge appreciation in the value of those Binami properties may be propelling these followers to murder their leaders. After Suri and Pandu murders, no leader may trust anyone however close he may be. Hard lesson for all leaders. Medical report by Apollo doctors: Only 2 gun shot wounds that too in the head region. He was admitted to emergency care in an unconscious state (BP not recordable) at 5:45 PM and expired at 7:55 PM. He died of Cardiac failure. CT scan revealed haemorhage in the brain. 3 Unidentified men fired 5 rounds at Maddelachervu Suri (Suryanarayan Reddy) near Navodaya Colony in Yusufguda in Hyderabad at 5:30 PM. He was admitted to Apollo hospitals in Film Nagar at 5:45 PM. At the time of firing, Suri was travelling in Skoda car (Vijayawada realtor's) after meeting his advocate. Suri's condition is in critical state as bullets went into head and chest. Chances of survival are very … [Read more...]

December 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Andhra Pradesh Government decided to withdraw all the cases filed against students. 1,677 police cases were registered till September, 2010 during Telangana/United Andhra agitations. Osmania JAC demanded state Government to drop all cases in one go but United Andhra JAC stated that their students don't care about JAC. Home Minister Sabitha Indrareddy announced this decision just a while back. 11 Congress party MPs from Telangana region are on indefinite hunger strike from Monday afternoon. They succeeded in creating pressure on Telangana ministers but it is looking like a "political drama" for neutral analysts. Total number of cases: 1,667 cases involving 8,045 students Cases dropped in first stage: 565 Cases dropped on Monday: 135 Congress Party succeeded in not giving credit for rollback to TRS. TRS MLAs stalled Assembly for 3-4 days on this issue but Congress Government had not yielded to their pressure. Now, Congress MPs staged "hunger strike"??? for roll back. Government yielded to "pressure" in 25 hours. Request to leaders: Please take a quick decision on this complex issue and bring back normalcy in the state. … [Read more...]
Sonia emergency meet with AP MPs
December 22, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Shocked Sonia Gandhi decided to conduct an emergency meeting with Andhra Pradesh MPs today. She ordered Cabinet Minister Jaipal Reddy to come to 10 Janpath along with all AP Mps. Congress High command was shocked after seeing 25 Congress MLAs and 1 MP at Jagan fasting centre. Unofficially, Congress Government in AP is now in minority state. Unfortunately, new Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy miserably failed to help farmers by announcing good relief package. He failed to understand the seriousness of current crisis. 20 farmers committed suicide in the last 3 days as they lost crop at the time of harvest. They already in deep trouble due to Jal and Laila cyclones. Crisis provides best opportunities for intelligent leaders. NTR utilised 1986 floods to consolidate his position in Godavari districts. YSR utilised agriculture crisis by announcing free power. But, Kiran Kumar Reddy does not have that much power due to "high command politics." … [Read more...]
