Radha To Quit Assembly Before Pongal


The angry young legislator, Vangaveeti Radha Krishna, who switched over to Praja Rajyam Party, is set to quit Assembly in the next couple of days.

Initially, he refused to quit Assembly as its term ends in just three months. However, the PRP leaders have reportedly prevailed upon him to quit the Assembly before taking up new assignment in the party. Accordingly, he had agreed to quit and send his resignation letter in the next couple of days. He had already surrendered his gun man provided by the government.

Meanwhile, sources said that the PRP is planning to make him the Yuva Rajyam incharge for the coastal districts, where his father, Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga, has good following. He is being tipped for this post to assist Pawan Kalyan in rallying youth for the party.

Though Chiranjeevi himself had failed to infuse life into the cadre due to lack of oratory skills, Pawan Kalyan, is now being seen as the source of inspiration for the youth. The PRP sees greater advantage to the party, if young leaders like Radha Krishna are added to the team. The leaders are also looking for equal match to Radha Krishna from Rayalaseema and Telangana regions as these three young leaders would strengthen Pawan Kalyan’s hands.

Why only Cong and TD every time


Praja Rajyam president Chiranjeevi appears to have failed in convincing the people as to why they should elect his party to power in the next elections.

His mantra is “change.” But what is that change? Chiranjeevi is not able to explain to the people what change he would bring about in the lives of the people if he comes to power. But, he wants the people to bring a change in the ruling party. “Why do you always choose between only the Congress and Telugu Desam? They have been ruling the State one after the other in the last three decades. Both the parties are nothing but two sides of the same coin. Now, it is the time to experiment with a third alternative: Praja Rajyam Party,” he said at a public meeting in Nellore.

Political analysts say this argument will not go down well with the people. They do not want change of political parties in power for the sake of change. They want a change in the governance. And Chiranjeevi would have to focus on how he would give a better governance. As long as he is concentrating on inviting defectors from other parties, rather than projecting an alternative model of governance, people would not believe him.

Chiru fans to file cases against Jeevitha

Visakhapatnam: Members of the Chiranjeevi blood donors club will file civil, criminal and defamation cases in the district court here on Monday against actor Rajasekhar’s wife and Mahila Congress leader Jeevitha for her derogatory remarks on Chiranjeevi blood banks in the state.

Stating that Jeevitha has hurt their feeling with her comments that the blood banks are doing business at the expense of the commoners, the members said they won’t keep quiet till the actor’s wife apologises to the lakhs of Chiranjeevi fans. They said they would release a white paper on the blood supplied to the needy people by the Chiranjeevi blood banks. “If our blood banks are doing business, then how did the government give the best blood bank award to the Chiranjeevi blood bank,” one of the members said.

PRP Chief Chiranjeevi challenges TDP & Cong will you get the same crowd

Mr. Chiranjeevi, PRP president throwed a challenge to both Congress Party as well as TDP whether they can garner same public response which he is getting, as these parties are criticizing him by saying, what does film actors know about politics? What do they know about problems faced by common man? And at the same time saying that there is lukewarm response from the public to his meetings. He spoke in a public meeting on Sunday night in Venkatagiri located in Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District. While addressing the gathering he says people are waiting for hours because of the affection they have on him. He told youth is getting ready to strip off the power from Congress Party as it is indulging in high corrupt practices. He expressed his opinion that Congress Party and TDP are considering the State as their own property. He also felt that both parties are feeling that transfer of power should take place between them only and not to anyone else. But their desire will not get fulfilled this time, he told the meeting. He lambasted the publicity done by the Congress Party about the popular scheme of loan for 25 paise interest. He told that the benefit of this scheme is not received by major sections of the society. He also told that medical facilities existing in government hospital is horrible and pregnant women are delivering infants in burial grounds and bathrooms. He questioned whether these incidents could be considered as signs for development as boosted highly by the ruling party. He told that if PRP comes to power then he would start small-scale industries to provide employment to youth. He expressed anguish about the rampant scale of corruption prevailing in the state, by giving an example of a public servant earning Rs. 200 Crores. He expressed that the public response he is getting is due to the relation he had maintained with public during the last 30 years of his life.
