Agitations Bandhs

  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 Gandhi Magunta Srinivasa Reddy

  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...]

Andhra Pradesh bandh on July 19

July 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

  Telugu Desam Party called for state wide bandh in Andhra Pradesh on Monday (July 19) to protest against the arrest of TDP president, N. Chandrababu Naidu along with MLAs and MLCs.  TDP leaders were arrested by Maharashtra police and remanded to 14-day judicial custody when they tried to visit controversial Babli project. Party leaders refused to take bail. This incident triggered wide spread anger across Andhra Pradesh.  Osmania University postponed PG counselling which is schedulled to be held on Monday.  What went wrong?  Maharashtra police made a blunder by registering case in stead of just taking into custody and releasing them after some hours. TDP leaders strategically used that opportunity by not seeking bail. It is very difficult for any Government to tackle this type of Gandhigiri. After a long long time, TDP gained upper hand in the state.     … [Read more...]
