 Two More Congress MLAs To Join Praja Rajyam |
|
|
Two more legislators from Krishna district are likely to join the Praja Rajyam in the days to come. The Praja Rajyam already has one MLA, Vangaveeti Radhakrishna, from Krishna district.
Senior legislator, Buragadda Vedavyas, from Malleswaram segment is gearing up to jump into the Mega force. Though, he denied the reports, it is said that he had already assured Chiranjeevi of his entry three months ago. Even today, he is in regular contact with the Megastar. In fact, he was initially scheduled to join the party along with P Sivashankar, but due to some reasons this was deferred.
Vedavyas is said to be moving into PRP for two reasons – the community loyalty and his differences with Congress MLA from Machilipatnam, Perni Nani. The Malleswaram segment disappeared in the delimitation and he is to contest either from Pedana or from Machilipatnam. Vedavyas is interested in contesting from Machilipatnam, which Perni Nani is now representing.
The other MLA to join PRP is K Paradha Sarathi from Vuyyuru. Saradhi’s father and former MP, K P Reddayya, has already joined the PRP and is trying his best to contest from Machilipatnam Lok Sabha Constituency. Sarathi had lost his Vuyyuru segment in the delimitation and he has to contest from Penamaluru, which is part of the erstwhile Kankipadu segment represented by Devineni Rajasekhar Nehru.
According to the informed sources, both Vedavyas and Sarathi are likely to join the party on the same day, some time in January 2009. |

| Radha Men Beat up Ranga Loyalists |
|
|
The city boiled once again on Friday, after more than two decades, as MLA Vangaveeti Radhakrishna’s men beat up the Congress leaders and followers of slain Congress MLA, Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga Rao, on his death anniversary.
Radhakrishna’s men chased the Congress leaders, including senior Congress leader and Ranga’s loyalist Malladi Vishnu. They also beat up the supporters of Vishnu and hurled soda bottles at them injuring one person. The melee had spread to the busy Besant Road, where the traders have downed the shutters fearing riot. The Governorpet area is in tension now as the police arrested Congress leaders, include Vishnu, the party floor leader in Municipal Corporation, Kunuku Raja Sekhar and a few others.
Radhakrishna, a Congress MLA from Vijayawada East, switched over his loyalties to the Praja Rajyam Party last week and challenged the Congress men to observe his father’s death anniversary. The angry young MLA garlanded the statue of Ranga on M G Road and went on to Krishna Lanka area to participate in several prorgammes organized on the occasion.
A few minutes later Vishnu, senior Congress leaders, Kolanukonda Sivaji, Adapa Nagendra and Badita Shankar, reached the venue and garlanded the statue. They also tied the Congress’ tricolour cloth around Ranga.
Ranga’s widow and former MLA, Rathna Kumari, who was watching the Congress men garlanding her husband’s statue alerted her son, Radhakrishna, who rushed to the spot along with his supporters. Both Rathnakumari and Radhakrishna removed the Congress cloth and chased the Congressmen. The angry PRP workers also hurled sticks at the vehicles of the Congress leaders as both Radhakrishna and Rathnakumari hurled abuses at the Congress leaders.
The Radhakrishna’s supporters chased the Congress workers in the lanes of Besant Road hurling soda bottles. In the melee, a Youth Congress worker, Koppisetti Durga Rao, received bleeding injuries.
Recovering from the shock, the Congress leaders held a protest at Besant Road, who were immediately removed by the police. The police provided security in the entire Governorpet area to prevent untoward incidents.
The irony is that it was Malladi Vishnu who installed the bronze statue of Ranga, when Rathnakumari and Radhakrishna did not take interest in that. In fact, Vishnu had been rallying a good number of Ranga’s followers and had saved several of Ranga’s loyalists from the TD’s onslaught in 1990s. |

| Balayya Putting Fire For Chiru Fans |
|
|
Yuvaratna Balakrishna may have roared with his speech at the 'Yuvagarjana' meeting but then it must be kept in mind that such things are only once in a blue moon occurrences. It has often been said that Balayya tends to blurt out few unexpected things at the wrong time so something like that may have just happened.
Apparently, Balayya has been quite blatant about his stand for contesting for the Chief Minister position if given a chance and then also added that he would fight against his sister Purandareswari if the situation demands. Not stopping at that, he has now begun to pass few statements that are rubbing megastar Chiranjeevi's fans on the wrong side.
Incidentally, Chiru fans have been quite placid about the whole issue and they are said to be maintaining restraint due to orders from above. Everyone knows the nightmares actor Rajasekhar had to go for one wrong line of his. So one hopes that such things are put to rest and these prospective leaders focus on public welfare instead of hitting out at each other.
Apart from this, many say that Balakrishna has been talking irrelevant in his trademark style and not making any sense for public to turn their heads towards TDP. |

| Dasari Satires On Chiranjeevi |
|
|
The film industry is one place where the best of relationships can go haywire in a jiffy and one example for that is the equation between the veteran Dasari Narayana Rao and megastar Chiranjeevi. It is said that they used to share a guru-sishya relationship at one point of time but things went soar with the passing of time.
Now, Dasari seems to be keen on pulling Chiru down at every given point and his fumes became stronger after Chiru has become the key opponent for the Congress party. Using the film medium as a tool, Dasari is said to be coming up with a film that might just be taking a dig at Chiru.
The film has been titled as 'Mestri' (maybe from Chiru's 'Mutha Mestri') and Dasari has already got Mohan Babu, Chiru's arch rival in it. Reports are coming in that Dasari has prepared a special satirical menu aimed at Chiru in the film and the shooting has been going on briskly. Let us see how Chiru would react to this one. |

|
|
Power Star Pawan Kalyan has a set a new record by taking huge remuneration in the history of Tollywood. He has bagged Rs 9 Cr for the movie 'Komurum Puli' directed by SJ Suryah. With this, Pawan becomes the highest paid actor in entire South India after Rajni Kanth. In fact Pawan seems to have taken the place of Chiranjeevi as and when the latter has stepped into politics leaving the Cine Rostrum.
Now the responsibility is on the shoulders of Pawan Kalyan to fulfill the expectations of industry as well as people. And Pawan Kalyan always got packed audiences in theatres for any of his film despite his earlier films after Khushi turned failures. His latest hit 'Jalsa' and market survey has made his pay Rs 9 Crore.
And his charisma as PRP youth wing leader is equally good. Let us see how Pawan balances both films and politics. |
