TDP senior leader Revanth Reddy has alleged that there was a clear collusion between the Congress and the YSR Congress under which the ruling party had helped the latter in the just-concluded by-elections.

Speaking to the media here on Thursday, he said that the Congress party had entered into this “dark” agreement to defeat the TDP. He said that this was the reason why the Chief Minister has taken several steps that would generate sympathy to the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

Stating that all those who had started splinter groups of Congress earlier had merged them in the Congress, Revanth Reddy said Jagan, who had purchased the YSR Congress from one Shiva Kumar of Nalgonda would either merge it in Congress or sell it to the ruling party.

Revanth Reddy has alleged that Congress leaders have worked for the victory of the YSR Congress in the by-elections. He said that at every seat where TDP had winning chances, Congress leaders had worked for the victory of the YSR Congress candidates.

The TDP official spokesperson also said that it was to generate sympathy for him that Jagan was brought to the court in a van in which petty thieves are generally brought. Jagan created a big scene over it and gained the sympathy of the voters, he added. He said that it was strange that the YSR Congress leaders, who had entered into a dark agreement with the Congress, were criticizing the TDP. He said that the collusion of Jagan with Congress was evident as he had launched Indira Media, in the name of the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He questioned why the government was not canceling the mines allotted to Bharati Cements and Saraswati Cements of Jaganmohan Reddy. He said that it was mean politics that Jagan was working in tandem with those who called his late father Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy a corrupt person

The YSR Congress party has established clear leads as results of first and second rounds of the 18 assembly and Nellore Lok Sabha constituencies have been announced. YSR Congress has established clear leads in 14 constituencies as well as Nellore. TRS has established lead in Parakala constituency of Nellore district.

However here YSR Congress candidate Konda Surekha was in second place and not BJP, which tried to project itself as the only champion of the Telangana cause. Here TDP stood in the third place, pushing the BJP to the fourth. Congress party has occupied a miserable fifth place. It is doubtful if BJP and Congress would retain their deposits.

Fortunes kept changing in Tirupati and Narasannapet. In Tirupati the seat vacated by Chiranjeevi, Congress and YSR Congress have been establishing leads alternately. In a similar situation, in Narasannapet fortunes kept oscillating between the Congress and the YSR Congress as both parties are represented by two brothers of minister Dharmana Prasada Rao. In Ongole however, TDP has established margin in the first round

All the MLAs who resigned in favour of YS Jagan all seeing scores in their favour, but Ministers who supported him are getting their fuse blasted.

Konda Surekha and Pilli Subhashchandra Bose are the two ministers in erstwhile Congress cabinet who resigned in favour of Jagan. Surekha contested from Parkal and Bose from Ramachandrapuram. Both of them are falling behind in their respective regions while TRS and Congress ousted them all ways. Though Jagan wave has impacted all the poll bound regions, the negative publicity around these two contestants helped opponents to gain upper hand.

Surekha is losing the show because of her lack of clarity about bifurcation of state. Bose is given thumbs down because of the sentiment for a particular community in Ramachandrapuram.

With YSR-Congress leading in most of the places of by-poll constituencies, Jail authorities too bent ways for YS Jagan. Right now he is watching his own channel in Chanchalguda prison.

As counting is going on at a jet speed in all the poll bound regions, YSR-Congress is leading in almost 15 places. Till now, Jagan is allowed to watch only National channels that don’t give any minute to minute ‘breaking news’ about the happenings in AP by-polls. At last prison authorities have thought that it will be injustice if they don’t allow Jagan to taste the fruits of his first and massive success in the state. Insiders revealed that he is now allowed to watch all the channels freely, while the YSR-C chief has struck to ‘Sakshi’ only.

May be he is ‘accused’ in a biggest scam, but if walks out, he is the leader of a party that can surely alter the fate of ruling government in the state. This is the one reason that is shaking jail authorities.

Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and his auditor Vijay Sai Reddy on Thursday filed their counter to the CBI plea seeking narco tests on them. They made it clear that they are against conveying their consent to such tests and told the court that the Supreme Court has already held that such tests are illegal without consent from the individuals. They sought dismissal of the CBI’s petition.

On Tuesday, the CBI sought permission to subject Jagan to narco and other tests. Charging that Jagan was not at all cooperative and reluctant to reveal anything despite persistent questioning about his assets, the investigation agency filed a petition in the CBI court seeking permission to conduct polygraph, narco and BEAP (Brain Electrical Activation profile) tests on both Jagan and his auditor Vijay Sai Reddy.

The Supreme Court in 2010 held as unconstitutional forcible narco-analysis, polygraph and brain electrical activation profile or brain-mapping tests, in a blow to cops who were increasingly using the procedures as investigation tools. The apex court said they cannot be used even on those accused of serial killings and bomb blasts as they are violative of the fundamental right of a citizen not to incriminate himself and his right to privacy under Articles 20(3) and 21 of the Constitution.

Politics is all about winning, losing and taking revenges. Right now, it is pretty clear as per exit poll survey that YSR Congress is going to top the show in by-polls. But, is this is a good sign for them if the ruling party loses miserably?

Political Analysts say, it is not a good sign for YSRC! If the Congress loses this by-polls, then their leaders will not sit idle and there are chances for the Centre to intensify their investigation on Jagan’s disproportionate assets from now. CM Kiran might cancel all the deals that are doled out to help investors of Jagathi with his pen power. If that happens, some investors will turn ‘approvers’ in the CBI investigation as they have already lost government deals and will lose their money pushed into Jagan’s companies. So, before quitting the state, Congress government will try to push YSR-Congress into neck deep troubles. Off late, more than the corruption done by Cong ministers and MLAs, trouble created by Jagan will be considered as a big blow by the high command.

Even though if most number of MLAs migrate to YSR Congress, they may tumble within an year or so as their driving force will be forced to sit in jail for years. Already, Enforcement Directorate is put in place to move Jagan out of Hyderabad. Sources say that Cong will not just focus on Jagan, but will look into the matters of other YSR-C leaders too. Let us see what happens.

We often see actors playing dual roles in films, but in reality finding a lookalike is a tough task. The TDP leaders, however, succeeded in discovering the lookalike of their party president. TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu and party leaders were in a state of shock for a moment, as a very unusual thing has happened in their presence.

When Chandrababu was campaigning for the party’s win in the ensuing by-polls in Tirupati few days back, a person who looks like him came to the meeting to meet him. Looking at the duplicate Babu, party men including senior leaders Gali Muddukrishnam Naidu and MP Siva Prasad were taken aback in surprise. Even Chandrababu was shocked to find many similarities between him and the duplicate. In fact, No one could differentiate them if they stand side by side.

Meanwhile, few of the party leaders introduced the duplicate as Rukmamgadha Babu to Chandrababu. Rukmamgadha who is a native of Tirupati is an die-hard fan of the TDP Chief. Chandrababu gave a hearty laugh looking at his duplicate from very closely distance and felt happy with the arrangement of party leaders to surprise him.

From the past few days, Media is extremely busy covering the by-poll developments in the state. And so, there are no updates about YS Jagan’s activities in the Chanchalguda central prison. As the polling ended on Tuesday, all the cameras were now turned towards the YSRC Chief. Here are few updates…

As per the jail authorities, VIP prisoners in Chanchalguda are entitled to spend Rs. 3,000 per month on tokens to buy packaged foods and soft drinks in the canteen, from the money deposited by the family members in their accounts. Although, Jagan has Rs. 4,000 in his account, he hasn’t used a single rupee till date.The other special class prisoners in his barrack are supplying everything he wants, from time to time.

In Sunil Reddy’s account there are Rs. 15,000, Koneru Prasad has Rs. 4,000, Gali has Rs. 32,000, Nimmagadda Prasad has Rs. 3,000, Vijay Sai Reddy has Rs. 9,000, Mopidevi has Rs. 10,000, Brahmananda Reddy has Rs. 600. All the VIP prisoners are spending their entire money (Rs. 3,000/month) on mineral water bottles and soft drinks.

Slowly, Jagan is getting used to the jail life. During his early days, he used to be very reserved. But now, he is spending time interacting with other inmates, having tea with them and playing badminton twice a day. Whenever he gets a chance to interact with the jail security officers, the first question he asks is, to which district they belongs to and later inquires about his party’s position in those districts and constituencies. Some say, Jagan is using Jail Officers as Courier Boys to gather as much information as possible. Hope this info gives him relief and helps him analyze his party position all over the state.

Condom packets, Ganjai, several compact disks and some burnt magazines were seized by police at Nithyananda’s ashram.

Karnataka government on Wednesday passed orders to Ramnagar district joint collector and SP to conduct searches in Nithyananda’s Dhyanapeetam ashram in Bidadi. Around 50 police men thronged into the ashram and searched every nook and corner in the premises. Few hard disks and documents were recovered from the devotees of the godman. In the server room of the ashram, 20 computers, thousands of DVDs and 4 video cameras were found.

Ever since the Karnataka government hinted the arrest, Nithyananda went absconding. Police teams conducting searches at Tamilnadu, Madurai and Karnataka to nab him at the earliest. Rumors were making rounds that he is hiding in a luxurious resort.
