Botsa Satyanarayana who is minting money in his Vijayanagaram constituency by liquor mafia and making all his entire family members as MLCs, MLAs etc became APCC Chief and Minister in CM Kiran Kumar Reddy’s cabinet using his political influence. Cong high command bypassed the rule of one post one person in case of Botsa. This shows his true power and influence at the High Command.
 
To the surprise of all Botsa in his media interactions sought ban for 100yrs on him. He was responding to Samaikyandhra JAC calling for 18yrs ban on Botsa for his pro telangana stand commenting what was wrong if two states are carved for telugu speaking people when hindi speaking people are having so many states. Botsa sporting a sheepish smile said media will be asking these kinds of questions and said if 18yrs are not enough, they can ban him for 100yrs.

He went on to add that all telangana ministers are waiting for solution of T tangle. He said they are not unhappy with CM but only are saddened with delay on Telangana issue. Botsa made fun of CBN yatra saying CBN should name his yatra as ‘Na Kosam..Vastunna’ instead of ‘Vastunna…mee Kosam’.

0
No one can deny the fact that due to the on going bandhs, hartals, protests and marchs’ reputation of the city and Brand Hyderabad has taken a severe beating. The capital of Andhra Pradesh which once used to be the hottest destination for any new investments or industrial locations fast lost its sheen and is currently languishing despondently watching the developments with mute spectator just like popular Buddha statue situated in the middle of Hussain Sagar.
 
Many feel that atleast Buddha is saved as otherwise he would have met the same fate at the hands of mindless mobsters who are going on rampage breaking everything of value they see. Everyone knows they are not fighting for the cause of telangana but need some opportunity to wreak terror and havoc in Hyderabad.
 
Already some organizations gave call for political parties like MIM which has strong presence in Hyderabad to revive save Hyderabad Movement so that the reputation of the city would be kept in contact. Many fear if the brand name is sullied it will take many more years to build. Already many industries have moved out of Hyderabad due to Govt right after them by unleashing CBI against them to cover its own follies. It has to be seen who will take lead to save Brand Hyderabad.

Mohan Babu earned lot of name and fame in Tollywood and he is reputed as Collection King’ as his films used to shake box office during those days. He established many educational institutions through which he is serving the poor and down trodden and in the same way he even launched his own banner on which he made many superhit films.
 
However same cannot be said of his two sons Manchu Vishnu and Manchu Manoj who made their debut long time back but still looking to make a mark on Tollywood silver screen. Many feel that their sister Manchu Lakshmi is better than these two brothers. Manchu Lakshmi proved herself with her multi talent personality.Lakshmi became known through her role in the American television series Las Vegas, where she played the role of Sarasvati Kumar, the love interest of James Lesure. The show gave her the chance to work with many stars, such as James Caan, Sylvestor Stallone, just to name a few. She has appeared in national commercial campaigns for ARP, Chevrolet, and Toyota. In 2006, she acted, directed, and produced Perfect Lives, a short film that was accepted and screened at the Wilshire Fine Arts Theater as part of the La Femme Film Festival in Los Angeles.
 
Her performance in Ananganaga O Dheerudu caught the attention of all and even in Ukodatara Ulikipadatara she sizzled in a cameo. She is producing Gundello Godari at present. Manoj who debuted with Sri, featured in Prayanam and Vedam but later failed to make his mark while Vishnu except for Dhee looking for a hit. Hope these two brothers will prove others wrong.

Prabhas’ rebellious offer

0
Tollywood hot hunk Prabhas’ ‘Rebel’ under Raghava Lawrence got mixed response. The film is out and out mass entertainer without any family values which aleniated family viewers. This effected the performances of the film in overseas though the film is still going strong in B and C centers. People are still thronging the theaters to enjoy milky white  beauty Tamanna’s tempting beauty and Prabhas’ action packed stunts.
 
While speaking to media and sharing his thoughts on the performance of the film, he challenged anyone and offered to give them Rs 1cr if they can predict the outcome of the film prior to the release of the film. He says no one can predict the film’s out come and some times even the best efforts go wasted. Speaking about his dream roles he said he would love to act in the remakes of his Uncle’s ‘Bhakta Kannappa’ and ‘Katakatala Rudrayya’.

Mopidevi seeks Dharmana’s company

Former Minister Mopidevi Venkataramana was arrested and sent to Chanchalguda jail by CBI. He is trying his best to come out on bail and when CBI granted bail for his colleague Minister Dharmana Prasadarao for the same case, it boosted his confidence. When his petition came for hearing yesterday his counsel ripped apart CBI for following double standards. Mopidevi alleged double standards by CBI and cited that when he was sent to jail for granting land for Vanpic port how come CBI did not oppose bail to Dharmana who granted vast land to Vanpic projects.
 
He said that CBI allegations that his decision to grand land was not known to other ministers in the cabinet were totally false. Mopidevi’s counsel cornered CBI with volley of questions and highlighted CBI’s dual standards vis a vis Mopidevi and Dharmana. Court postponed the hearing to some other day. Many onlookers and political observers feel that Mopidevi is seeking equal treatment for him and also Dharmana as both have been fighting the same case. He feels that if he is in jail, Dharmana should also be in jail and vice versa. It has to be seen whether Mopidevi will get bail and meet Dharmana outside jail premises or even Dharmana will soon join him in Chanchalguda jail!

Jagan escapes from T-Fire

WhenKodandaram and TJAC announced T March prior to the march all political parties once again faced the same old problem with TJAC and other organizations demanding parties and its leaders to make their stand onTelangana clear on unequivocal and  unambiguous terms. This forced even TDp chief Chandra Babu who is going on padayatra starting from today and who till now successfully followed two eyed policy, to spell out his stand. He sent a letter to PM demanding all party meet to resolve telangana turmoil.
 
When state is burning once again with telangana issue and with so many people coming to show their strength at necklace road, inspite of various restrictions by Govt, one leader escaped from all the heat and enjoying the comforts of AC though in Jail. He is none other than YSRCP chief Jagan who is cooling his heels in Chanchalguda jail. Surprisingly even founder president Vijayamma went missing and not a single leader seems to be bothered about the march leave alone participating in the march.
 
Its telangana firebrand leader Konda Surekha who is known to advocate her views was not to be seen at all. However no one seems to be bothered as TJAC concentrated on CBN and his party TDP.

Kodandaram bring laurels to his ‘Name’

0
Many might have underestimated the strength and organizing capabilities of Prof Kodandaram. However even when everyone and his right hand KCR deserted him, Kodandaram mobolised huge amount of people to stun all and bought laurels to his’Name’. True to his name and just like Lord Rama who is also known as ‘Kodandaram’ who mobolisied army of monkeys and successfully motivated them to build bridge over ocean from Rameswaram, TN to Srilanka to kill Demon King Ravana, our Kodandaram mobolised people of telangana and created a necklace of people across necklace road. This shows his true strength and even his great detractors cannot but sing praises over his abilities.
 
When difference came out in open between KCR chief architect of Telanagana and TRS party and Kodandaram, many wrote him off completely. Political analysts felt that with out the fire power of TRS and KCR it would be difficult for Kodandaram and his TJAC to sustain in the long run. However they showed their strength in recent byelections and now by successfully organizing T-March even when KCR stayed away from march cooling his heels in national capital Delhi. It is a great achievement for apolitical person like Kodandaram to get so many people for the march.
