The unending saga of YSR: His son asserts will to don the mantle!

November 12, 2009

I will be CM one day: Jagan

KADAPA: Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy believes and, strongly too, that he would become the chief minister of the Andhra Pradesh one day. ‘‘It may not happen today (immediately), it may not happen in a year or even two. But, good days are bound to come and I will definitely occupy the office of the chief minister. That is for sure,’’ Jagan said, addressing a gathering of women at a function here. He said Congress president Sonia Gandhi was in ‘our favour’ and justice would surely be done. ‘‘I want to become the chief minister to continue the programmes of our beloved leader Y S Rajasekhara Reddy,’’ he said and added that he required the blessings of everyone for him to be the chief minister. Jagan’s comments are being interpreted as an attempt to instil confidence among his loyalists who have been down and out after clear messages from Delhi that there was no question of replacing Chief Minister K Rosaiah in the immediate future. The high command’s apparent reluctance to field Jagan in the Pulivendula byelection has further dampened the spirits of the MP’s camp. But, by speaking out for the first time about his intentions to occupy the top slot, Jagan has also conveyed a message that his group in the Congress will not be quiet, irrespective of the central leadership’s expectations. Jagan also made it clear that if anyone tried to either dilute or wind up the programmes launched by his father for the benefit of women and other sections, he would be in the forefront fighting against such attempts. In other words, Rosaiah will have to contend with opposition from within the party in the days to come.

Is Andhra Congress (more vigourously) back into caste fights or is it another Christian attack on Hindus?

HYDERABAD: Forty-eight hours after Anusha, the B.Com third-year student of Villa Marie college jumped to death in the college premises, the Punjagutta police are yet to arrive at a conclusion on whether the other four students drove her to end her life or was there any other reason.

Meanwhile, an organisation, Dalit Sthree Sakthi (DSS) has alleged that Anusha was being harassed on caste basis, after her friends came to know that she was a Dalit.

Though the police had registered a case under Section 306 IPC (abetment to commit suicide), investigation so far has not led the sleuths anywhere.

“The victim’s parents have alleged that a few other students were responsible for her suicide. But we have to investigate the matter thoroughly and can come to a conclusion only then,’’ West zone DCP C Ravi Varma told Express.

The police are going through the mobile phone details of Anusha.

The parents of Anusha had alleged that Anusha took the extreme step unable to bear the humiliation by her friends.

Anusha leaped to death from the fourth floor of Villa Marie college campus at Somajiguda on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Dalit Sthree Sakthi (DSS) has formed a fact-finding committee to go into the details of the case. The team met her parents, relatives, friends and also the police officials as part of their probe.

Bringing in a new twist to the case, the DSS members said that Anusha was a relative of Congress MLA R Varaprasad Rao, a supporter of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. “Of late, his closeness to Jagan and the media attention he grabbed revealed that he is a Dalit. From then onwards, Anusha was being harassed on caste-basis,’’ DSS members alleged.

The committee has submitted a report to Home Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy and Additional DGP (Law and Order) AK Khan and urged them to take measures to avoid recurrence of such incidents in future.

The unending saga of YSR now to gobble a forest!

October 5, 2009

Last Updated : 04 Oct 2009 11:56:42 PM IST

We trust — but are pessimistic on this — that the Union government will reject the Andhra Pradesh government’s decision on the Rajasekhara Reddy memorial. The decision is to remove as many as 1,400 hectares from the official forest protection  ambit and to build a huge memorial arch and a five km trekking path from there to the site of the helicopter crash which ended the chief minister’s life; there are allied plans for other structures there, in his memory. Removal of forest cover at Nallamalla requires central permission, which is about the only hope left to stop this move. The appreciation of what a forest is and why it should be protected in its diversity is shown by the Cabinet ordering the entire lot to be ‘well landscaped’ first, so that visitors can come without a problem. Even if Rajasekhara Reddy had been a combination of Jesus and Mahatma Gandhi (the tenor of most public comment on him since he went is of this order), such action would be most objectionable. There are several ways to remember someone gone: hacking a large part of a vanishing and irreplaceable legacy, meant to be used as a trust for future generations, is a revolting process of thought.

 

More, it shows the lack of maturity in our handling of such events, in the lack of sober checks on those in power. Even express yourself in this vein and you, in fact, run the risk, on such occasions, of being assaulted or worse, with the law and justice machinery unlikely to be of help. It is taken for granted that those in power are entitled to rule and dispose of public assets in a manner not so far removed from the Nizams and Nayaks of  yesteryear. If, for instance, the Telugu Desam Party had been in power and their chief the subject of such a matter, the story would be about the same. So, too, for much of India. To us, this episode underlines the need for institutional and other checks in our polity — laws compelling inner-party democracy in political groupings, transparency laws, independent law and rights’ enforcement, ombudsmen, audits on the flow of money in public life and so forth. It won’t cure retrograde and flock-like movements, but it will help check the process, empower whistle-blowers and jesters, and protect against excessive damage, besides helping sobriety and dissent keep a footing. Meanwhile, could we save more, or most, of the Nallamalla forest?

Comments

The second husband of YSR’s daughter was a Hindu who converted to Christianity and is now running missionary work for which YSR gave the help of state machinery. The Christians use Hindu sounding name to get votes like Christian Sonia and her Christian son Rahul putting tilak on the forehead. Christians systematically encroach Hindu temples properties under the guidance of church in TN, AP etc. Christians are the most dangerous enemy of Hindus.. Christians are killing more Hindus than muslim terrorists. Added to this they destroy our nation from within. andhrajyothy.com/mainshow.asp?qry=/2006/sep/5main8 

 This Christian terrorist Jagan Reddy is the face the Christian missionaries of AP. The Christian media and church fund is behind the hype of this corrupt wayward son of YSR. Hindus should treat these cancerous Christians like plague and never vote for them. Christian Y Samuel Jagan Reddy had blown up the Hindu Sunkulamma temple in Obullapuram village in Anantapur district. This was reported in AndhraJyothy on 8 Friday, September 2006 Jagan and his friend Janardhan Reddy used powerful bombs and grounded the temple which is highly revered by Hindus. If Hindus had the unity of Muslims Jagan would have been a history like his father. His brother in law was running illegal telephone exchange and is linked to Dawood.

Read this on the web:

On the other hand, AP economy is taking a hit from e-con-o’-mic games of congress govts. Expected cost of power subsidy and purchase is reaching Rs 10,000 crores this year (plan was ~500 crs for the free electricity program). The rice subsidy is reaching ~5,000 cr bill from an estimated cost of ~100 crores. The famous Jalayajnam projects require ~20,000 crores per year. And there are not enough revenues. The state govt is not in a position to pay pensions and salaries on Oct 1st.

YSR saga is continuing to our utter disgust!

Jagan, Rosaiah war of words hots up

CM on offensive, says ‘I am here to stay’

Jagan’s Plan To Split Congress With Chiru

The ruling Congress party in Andhra Pradesh, in the grip of uncertainty and confusion since the sudden death of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, seems to be heading towards a major confrontation between the supporters and opponents of his son Jagan Reddy as for the first time the incumbent Chief Minister K Rosaiah has made it clear that he intends to stay and fight back.

He not only made it clear that he was no “interim Chief Minister” but a full-fledged Chief Minister and if any Minister had any objection to his leadership, he or she was free to leave the Cabinet. “If these people (dissidents) can’t wait for the decision of the high command, they are free to leave. Nobody will stop them. They can resign, can go their way and do what they want,” Rosaiah said.

“As far as my knowledge goes, the Indian Constitution does not have any provision for an interim, temporary or caretaker Chief Minister. If a person takes the oath as the Chief Minister he is a Chief Minister. If a person takes the oath as Minister, he is Minister. If a CM is caretaker, will the Ministers be caretaker or permanent,” Rosaiah wondered.

He indicated that he would soon be going to Delhi for consultations with the Congress high command and would go by their advice on the issues like reshuffle or expansion of the Cabinet.

Rosaiah’s stern stand evoked immediate reaction from Jagan camp and at least one Minister – Konda Surekha from Warangal — announced that she would quit if Jagan is not be made the Chief Minister and Rosaiah continues in the position.

The sudden and surprising assertion by Rosaiah came a day after Jagan Reddy’s supporters went berserk and burnt two buses in Rajahmundry and ransacked the office of Congress party in Anantpur district demanding Jagan’s immediate installation as the Chief Minister.

They also left the party thoroughly shocked by tearing down a big poster with AICC President Sonia Gandhi’s poster in Khammam district office and burning it in full public view.

The incident provided an opening to the anti-Jagan leaders of the party to launch a counter-offensive. Senior leaders like G Venkatswamy, V Hanumantha Rao and K Keshav Rao strongly condemned the incident as an insult to Sonia Gandhi. In a swift action, State Congress president D Srinivas suspended four party workers in connection with the incident. Rosaiah also condemned the incident and spoke to Sonia to express his regrets. The State police have also booked a case in this regard.

The violent incidents allegedly involving Jagan’s supporters has provided a rallying point to the State Congress leaders of other groups who have now for the first time come out openly in support of Rosaiah.

V Hanumantha Rao after meeting Rosaiah said that he will remain Chief Minister till 2014 when the next election was due. When asked whether it will not be going against the people’s wishes, Hanumantha Rao quipped, “We know what the people wish and whose side they are. The people’s wish cannot be bigger than Sonia Gandhi’s decision. Whoever is blessed by Sonia will be the leader,” he said,

Meanwhile the Congress workers belonging to various other camps also held protest demonstrations all over the State against the incident of burning of Sonia posters. In Hyderabad, a demonstration was held in the State party headquarters Gandhi Bhavan. State minority cell president Sirajuddin who led the demonstration said the people who insulted Sonia were trying to challenge the authority of the party high command.

Jagan camp on the other hand was not in a mood to take it lying down. Jogi Ramesh, MLA and Jagan follower questioned the authority of Hanumantha Rao in declaring that Rosaiah will remain the Chief Minister till 2014. He said the senior leaders should stop making such provocative statements.

————————————————————————————–

While it looks like the decision has almost been made at the Congress central command that it is going to be Rosaiah who would be heading the state as the chief minister until further notice, there seems to be a small current that is growing in the camp of Y S Jagan.

The talk in circles is that Jagan might soon be heading a new party and the interesting thing is, the Praja Rajyam Party is likely to be merging with this new YS congress if high command still delays. It is said that Chiranjeevi has been showing positive signs of merging PRP with Jagan led Congress.

On the other hand, Jagan is also said to be positive about welcoming Chiru if he wishes and the coming months will reveal what will the situation be like. Meanwhile, the political experts say that under the current position, this is the best move that Chiru can make before he gets humiliated further.

Jagan Mohan Reddy ‘fans’ tear down Sonia banner

September 28, 2009

First Published : 27 Sep 2009 11:59:25 PM ISTLast Updated : 28 Sep 2009 12:14:31 AM IST

HYDERABAD: The demand to appoint Jagan Mohan Reddy as Andhra chief minister took an ugly turn with his supporters allegedly tearing down a banner having pictures of AICC chief Sonia Gandhi at Khammam district Congress committee office.
Though the incident occurred two days ago, when supporters of the Kadappa MP disrupted the teleconference by PCC president D Srinivas on the party membership enrolment drive, it came to light only on Sunday when a television channel aired the footage.

This has angered Congress veterans, who said that Jagan could not become chief minister through such atrocious acts.

“Sonia Gandhi is our supreme leader. We are all ordinary workers and neither Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, or Jagan Mohan are exceptions. In fact, Rajasekhara Reddy grew to such stature only with the blessings of Soniaji,” Congress Central Working Committee member G Venkata Swamy said.

He denounced the incident and wanted the PCC chief to immediately throw out such unruly elements from the party.

Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao attacked Jagan’s followers saying “their act of tearing down the picture of our be loved leader Sonia Gandhi was highly outrageous.”

K Rosaiah was appointed the interim chief minister following Reddy’s demise in a helicopter crash earlier this month.

He expressed anguish that the Khammam DCC leadership failed to initiate action against those responsible even after 48 hours of the incident. “As a mark of protest, I shall observe silence for 48 hours as a true disciple of Sonia Gandhi,” Hanumantha Rao said.

Another CWC member K Keshava Rao said “Acts like tearing down the pictures of Soniaji are totally intolerable. The guilty have to be sternly dealt with.”

Home Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy, meanwhile, directed police to register a case and bring the guilty to book.

Government Chief Whip Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who represents Khammam district, met PCC president D Srinivas here today to give his explanation about the incident.

Labour Minister R Venkata Reddy, who hails from the district, said he was present with the PCC president in Hyderabad when the incident took place two days ago.

Other senior leaders of the party like Palvai Govardhan Reddy too condemned the incident and demanded action against the guilty.

Here are some of the comments under the news item of the said blog:

 Fortunately, no congressman blamed the JP, RSS and Modi combine. This is really good news . The Congress leader Indira once said that there two islands of indisciplines in this country – one is Tamilnadu and Gujarath. Tamilnadu has already kicked Congress out of power four decades back and Congress remain a slave under ther dravidian parties. In Gujarath too , Congress was thrown back a decade back. Modi should ensure that Congress never come back to power so long as Sonia is at the helm of affairs. Let us see whether similar developments happen in Andhra Pradesh.

once again this proves that the con-men party is comrprised of charlatans, crooks and goondas from top to bottom. the differnce is only of degrees. these supporters will stop at nothing to have their man as their CM so alibaba and 40 thieves can live happily ever after. sonia has enoucaged such things and naturally the party has to pay for it. she cant even remove sharad pawar or his crony praful becuase of the hold pawar has over her. everyone from top to bottom likes to loot the country by fooling the people and add to their swiss bank accounts. in a sense, as a whole this party is holding the entire country to ransom. even the minorities who were faovring them are fed up. there is growing resentment amongst the true members of that party.

Just a symbolic protest of tearing down the picture of Sonia Gandhi need not provoke a such reaction from congresswallahs. They have once again exhibited their slave mentality and pawned their pride and honour to a woman. Or was it the fear of retribution that prompted their reaction to a trivilal incidence. History repeats itself when a past chief minister of AP who carried a pair of chappals to the airport to hand it over personally to Rajiv Gandhi. It is a pity that AP does not have another leader like N T Rama Rao who had succeeded in demolishing slavery and restoring the Telughu pride. Sonia has let loose her meanians to do the job of witch hunting and keeps a sphinks like face. Now we will see how much her dogs will bark.

HYDERABAD: Congress Working Committee (CWC) member K Keshava Rao’s remarks that the Chief Minister’s post was not lying vacant in the State has triggered a controversy with Jagan’s supporters taking up cudgels against him for trying to mar the former’s chances of becoming the chief minister.Though there was nothing wrong in Keshava Rao saying that Rosaiah was a capable person to lead the State, Jagan loyalists were angry that the comments came from Keshava Rao, who did not have cordial relations with YS Rajasekhara Reddy.Keshava Rao’s assertion has been construed as an attempt to dilute the efforts of Jagan’s supporters to instal their leader as the chief minister and were indicative of an attempt to ensure continuation of Rosaiah in the post.Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) general secretary Ambati Rambabu, a staunch follower of Jagan, took strong exception to Rao for making `provocative’ statements even after the entire cadre had decided to wait and abide by the high command’s decision on successor issue.What has irked the Jagan camp was that former chief minister N Janardhan Reddy and former MP G Venkataswamy too were singing the refrain that the party would take a final decision on the successor issue and by stressing on it repeatedly were in fact indicating that Jagan would be kept out of the the race.Keshava Rao met former chief minister N Janardhan Reddy at the latter’s residence this morning and had held closed door discussions for more than an hour. Talking to newsmen later, Rao asserted that at present there was no vacancy for the Chief Minister’s post in the State, and hence there was no need to think about the issue now. Chief Minister Rosaiah has been working well and there was no uncertainity in the State party.

The Christian attempt to regain Andhra – III

September 17, 2009

Wanted: A CM for AP

G S Vasu
First Published : 17 Sep 2009 01:26:51 PM IST

HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh wants a Chief Minister! For the record, the State has a Chief Minister in Konijeti Rosaiah, but not in reality. At least, that is what ministers and legislators believe and quite strongly too. The lighter way of looking at events unfolding since the tragic death of Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy in a chopper crash on September 2 is as a political comedy. The other way is to view it as ugly and repulsive. Either way, it is nauseating.

In the first instance, distinguished members of YSR’s Cabinet refused to be sworn in as ministers again (to meet a Constitutional requirement) but relented only after a warning from Delhi. Yet, their nonchalance towards the present government headed by Rosaiah has not changed a bit. Not a day passes without a group of them appearing before cameras to publicly declare why YSR’s son, Jagan Mohan Reddy, should be made the chief minister.

Ministers continue to keep away from Secretariat, not bothering to attend to even pressing public issues. Instead, they are happy to mark their daily attendance before Jagan Mohan Reddy. Just as Health Minister D Nagender did when Rosaiah was in a meeting with doctors discussing how to contain the rapid spread of swine flu, which has claimed 15 lives in the State.

Is it that the flu victims are ordinary mortals and don’t deserve attention? The only solace for us is that the flu deaths are not being attributed to the demise of Dr Rajasekhara Reddy just as a long list of over 300 other ‘‘natural’’ deaths across the State, mostly of those suffering from heart and other ailments, have been linked by YSR loyalists to his untimely and shocking end.

The same list has been reportedly sent to Delhi to impress upon the Congress high command the ‘‘mass grief’’ that Dr Reddy’s death has generated and, point out how appropriate it would be to make his son occupy his chair. It is a different matter that politicos, who have waxed eloquent on the impossibility of life without Dr Reddy, have not even sneezed, forget suffering a stroke! This, despite appeals, even if only for public consumption, from Jagan Mohan Reddy and Rajya Sabha member KVP Ramachandra Rao, the man playing a key role in the present context, that such crass display of ‘‘loyalty’’ and pressure tactics might only jeopardise the young MP’s chances.

Things have come to such a pass that even members of the board of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), meant to administer affairs of the world famous temple, were set to take the most unholy step: passing a political resolution favouring Jagan Mohan Reddy as chief minister.

The Congress high command’s view seems to be to buy considerable time before taking a decision — continuing Rosaiah in the post or bowing to the dictates of Jagan Mohan Reddy’s group.

However, in the meantime, the State needs a chief minister who has the full backing of the Central leadership and thereby, that of ministers.
