Botsa Supports Telangana Formation ?

With Telangana agitation taking centre stage again, the AP Congress Chief has once again started behaving like the cat on wall. We are talking about Botsa Satyanarayana, and his latest comments about T-state.
‘If Hindi speaking people are having 13 states in India, why shouldn’t Telugu people have two states?’ questioned Botsa, giving his indirect support to the T-sentiment. Earlier too, Botsa made such comments and faced the ire of Andhra people, as he hails from the coastal region. If the PCC chief is so clear about his stand, why is he telling all the time that high-command will take about decision but not the state. Why couldn’t these state rulers give a clear cut statement about the issue directly?. These are the questions that ruling the minds of Congress MLAs from both the regions. More than anyone, politicians are the ones who are not able to show their faces to people regarding this issue.
Like all the time, Botsa changed his words at the end saying that he is just giving various thoughts, but everything is in Sonia’s hands. Cat on the wall!

Vijayashanthi loses Confidance in KCR ?

Veteran heroine Vijayashanti does not even believe in her brother regarding the promises about T-state. While she aimed to talk against YSR-C, she criticized her own party people, shockingly.
‘May be KCR is having belief that Telangana will come in 3 months. But I don’t believe his words. The agitation should be intensified, else we cannot get separate state’, stated Vijayshanti about her political brother and TRS chief. Already, everyone is eagerly waiting for KCR to come out of shell as he is not coming out into media after prez-polls to talk about his prediction on T. Now Vijayashanti’s comments are adding fuel to the speculations that KCR’s strategic silence is politically motivated. If his own party people including his sister do not believe his words, when will T-people believe KCR?
Time for TRS to re-work their strategies as just taking pot-shots at other parties will not work for life time.

Jagan Targets Telangana Constituencies !

YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is not in a hurry to make his way into the Telangana, but wants to go in a systematic way to capture as many seats as possible in this region.
Knowing his limitations of not taking a clear stand on the Telangana statehood issue, Jagan is said to be moving his pawns very carefully. He is in the process of identifying safe seats where the Telangana sentiment is not very strong and hence, there are more chances of winning.Most of these seats are in and around Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, parts of Nalgonda and Mahbubnagar districts closer to Rayalaseema and Andhra regions.
For example, the YSR Congress party has fair chances of winning Secunderabad, Secunderabad Cantonment, Jubilee Hills, Khairatabad, Kukatpally, Serilingampally, Uppal and L B Nagar constituencies in Hyderabad, besides Parigi, Rajendranagar, Vikarabad and Tandur constituencies in Ranga Reddy district.
Similarly, the party would focus on bagging Alampur, Atmakur and Kodangal constituencies in Mahbubnagar, which are closer to Kurnool district in Rayalaseema. In Nalgonda district, too, Jagan has the possibility of capturing Nagarjunasagar (closer to Macherla in Guntur), Nalgonda (Komatireddy factor), Nakirekal and Kodad where the Telangana sentiment is not very high.
“If Jagan party can win at least 25-30 seats in the Telangana region, it will definitely come to power in the state in 2014 elections. This is of course, only if the state remains united. If the Centre decides to bifurcate the state, then Jagan would have to confine his power only to the Seemandhra region,” an analyst said.

Criminal case against AP ministers for ‘inflammatory’ remarks

A retired IAS officer today filed a criminal case against an Andhra Pradesh for making certain “inflammatory and provocative” statements against bureaucrats and exhorting people to “shoot” non-performing public servants. B V Papa Rao, who served as Home Secretary of Assam and also with the United Nations during his career, said in his complaint that the statement of Minor Irrigation minister T G Venkatesh attracted criminal liability under various IPC sections.
At a public meeting in his native Kurnool on July 13, Venkatesh had remarked that non-performing bureaucrats should be shot dead. After the remark kicked up a controversy, the minister remained unapologetic and went on to say that even non-performing politicians should be shot dead. He also refused to retract from his statements, Papa Rao said and attached various newspaper reports quoting the minister with his complaint.
“It clearly indicates that Venkatesh does not believe in the rule of law. A minister, who has taken solemn oath to function in accordance with Constitution, making such public statements will have serious and dire consequences on our criminal justice system,” Papa Rao pointed out.
“The minister, being a publicly elected member of the legislature, is in an immensely persuasive position in the society. By making such provocative remarks, the minister clearly encourages gullible public to take the law in to their own hands. He has endangered the lives of the government officials, who according to him are non performers,” he said.

India go into the five-match series in Sri Lanka with a chance to leap from their current fourth place to number one in the ICC One-day International team rankings.
India last held the number one position briefly in September 2009 but if they achieve a clean sweep against their hosts now, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side will unseat current table-toppers Australia.
The series, which starts in Hambantota Saturday, brings together the finalists of the 2011 World Cup, held in Mumbai last year. India won that match by six wickets to lift the trophy for the first time in 28 years.
After years of domination by Australia, the ranking table is now extremely tight after Michael Clarke’s team suffered a 0-4 defeat in England recently. Only two rating points separate the top four teams with South Africa and England sandwiched between Australia and fourth placed India.
The Sri Lanka versus India series again utilises the three grounds which are a legacy of the last World Cup. The first two ODIs are in Hambantota, followed by two at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, and the final match in Pallekele August 4.

Union Cabinet Ministers put UPA Govt in Trouble

There appears to be a deep crisis in the UPA government even before its trouble-shooter Pranab Mukherjee was declared elected as the President of the country.
After Pranab Mukherjee left the cabinet, the Congress has chosen to give the number 2 position of his to Defence Minister A K Antony, causing dismay to the NCPI leader Sharad Pawar. It is learnt that pained by the decision, both Pawar and his associate Praful Patel have sent in their resignations to the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.That the crisis started brewing on the very day when Rahul Gandhi, son of Sonia Gandhi announced his was readiness to take up greater responsibilities in the government, had added another dimension to the crisis.
Sharad Pawar was one of the two persons who had stoutly opposed Sonia Gandhi when Congress sought to make her the Prime Minister after Rajeev Gandhi’s death, on the ground of her nationality. The other leader was P A Sangma, who has contested as President against Pranab Mukherjee.
Though Sharad Pawar had opposed Sonia Gandhi, he veered round later and started playing a key role in the UPA politics. When Congress (or Sonia) chose the candidature of Pranab Mukherjee for the post of the President of India, he has instantly consented. He has also asked his colleague Sangma to withdraw from contest and when he refused, snapped ties with him. Sharad Pawar has also consented to support Dr. Hamid Ansari for the post of the Vice President, without any reservations.
It is a known fact that Sharad Pawar has aspired for the Prime Minister’s post as he was qualified enough to hold it. But even when he knew that it was not going to be possible for him to become the Prime Minister, he has been adopting an amicable attitude towards Congress and its supremo Sonia Gandhi.
When Pranab Mukherjee resigned to the post of Finance Minister and there by his Number 2 position in the cabinet, Sharad Pawar has naturally aspired for it. In the cabinet meeting held immediately after the resignation of Pranab, Sharad was seated next to the Prime Minister. His name figured as Number 2 in the website of the Prime Minister’s office. Defence Minister A K Antony was away touring his home state Kerala when that meeting took place.
However, when the Cabinet met again on the 12th of this month, A K Antony was shown the number 2 position and Sharad Pawar was shown the eighth seat in the cabinet hierarchy. Changes were also made in the PMO’s website suitably.
Now as Rahul Gandhi has made it clear that he would play a key role in the administration, every one is aware that he would get the Number 1 slot – the Prime Minister’s post after 2014 elections. Till then, he might occupy a key role.Sharad Pawar has possibly understood that he would not be offered any key role in the government even in the changed circumstances and equations.
Pawar has been unhappy since quite some time as the Congress leadership chose to reject his recommendations for some Gubernatorial appointments. Pawar has also been unhappy with some Congress leaders including minister Jai Ram Ramesh who have been critical about the style of functioning of Pawar as the Agriculture Minister.

It is being said that he had decided to quit the government and support the government from outside for the present before he made up his mind on what to do next.
