YS Sharmila arrested while ‘Chalo Secretariat’ Protest February 22, 2024 19:51

YS Sharmila arrested while ‘Chalo Secretariat’ Protest:- YS Sharmila, the president of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee, was arrested on Thursday by Vijayawada Police for attempting to lead a protest march to the Secretariat. The march did not have permission, leading to the arrest of Sharmila, APCC chief G Rudraraju, and other Congress leaders and party workers for not obeying police orders. During her arrest, Sharmila sustained minor injuries on her hands as women constables forcefully took her into a police vehicle. Sharmila had initiated the 'Chalo Secretariat' protest march earlier that day in Vijayawada to show support for unemployed youth in the state. However, she and her companions were stopped by the police on Eluru Road. They engaged in a standoff for almost two hours before Sharmila and the others were taken into custody. జగన్ పార్టీ ప్రత్యేక రాజ్యాంగంలో ప్రజాస్వామ్యం ఖూనీ అయ్యింది. మీరు పూర్తి చేయని హామీలను ప్రశ్నిస్తే అరెస్ట్ చేసి నిర్బంధిస్తారా? కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీ అధ్యక్షురాలిగా నాకే ఈ పరిస్థితి ఉంటే ఇక సామాన్యుడి పరిస్థితి ఏంటి? ప్రజాస్వామ్య దేశంలో ఉన్నామా? లేక రాచరికపు పాలన లో ఉన్నామా?మెగా… pic.twitter.com/61LVRvN1Yw — YS Sharmila (@realyssharmila) February 22, 2024 Expressing her frustration, Sharmila stated, "The Chief Minister and his government perceive me as a threat, even though I simply want to go to the Secretariat and present a representation regarding the increasing unemployment among the youth. It is highly deplorable how this government treats a female political leader. I am the daughter of Dr Y S Rajashekara Reddy, and I refuse to be intimidated. I will persist in my fight." She made these remarks while outside the Mangalagiri Police Station, where she was brought.

She has been criticizing the ruling YSRCP government and CM Reddy, claiming that the state is facing increasing unemployment, financial difficulties, and a lack of law and order under their rule. Although she had announced a protest march on Wednesday morning, the police refused permission and began placing Congress leaders under house arrest. To avoid being confined to her home, she decided to spend Wednesday night at the Congress head office, Andhra Ratna Bhavan. A video that has since gone viral shows Sharmila, the Congress leader, sleeping on a mattress on the floor of the party's Vijayawada office. Another video shared by party leader Manickam Tagore depicts other Congress workers and leaders also sleeping at the Congress office. Rather than going to Congress MP KVP Ramachandra Rao's house on Wednesday evening, where the police allegedly intended to detain her, she chose to remain at the Congress office. As the police surrounded the Congress office on Thursday morning, Sharmila, along with several Congress leaders and supporters, staged a sit-in protest and chanted slogans.

Fresh summons for Kavitha in Delhi Liquor Scam Case February 22, 2024 19:30

Fresh summons for Kavitha in Delhi Liquor Scam Case:- K Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, has been summoned by the CBI in relation to the Delhi excise policy scam case. The CBI has requested her presence at their headquarters on Monday for questioning. Previously, in December 2022, the agency had recorded her statement at her residence in Hyderabad. The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that Vijay Nair, one of the accused in the case, received kickbacks worth at least Rs 100 crore from a group known as South Group, which is controlled by Sarath Reddy, Kavitha, and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, on behalf of AAP leaders. The CBI, which has already filed three charge sheets against several accused, including former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, claims that kickbacks ranging from Rs 90-100 crore were paid in advance to certain politicians of the ruling AAP in Delhi and other public servants. These payments were allegedly made by individuals in the liquor business from South India, through co-accused Nair, Abhishek Boinpally, and Dinesh Arora. According to the CBI, members of the "South lobby" exploited various methods such as issuing excessive credit notes, making bank transfers, and leaving outstanding amounts in controlled company accounts to obtain L-1 licences. The CBI has accused a cartel consisting of liquor manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of violating policy provisions and acting against the policy's principles. Each conspirator allegedly played an active part in attaining the unlawful goals of this criminal plot. The CBI claims that this resulted in significant financial losses for the government and unjust financial gains for the public servants and other individuals involved in the conspiracy.

Botsa Vs Ganta Srinivasa Rao in Bheemili:- In a recent article by Eenadu, the focus is on the political rivalry between two prominent figures in Uttarandhra - Botsa Satyanarayana and Ganta Srinivasa Rao. Botsa has a strong foothold in Cheepurupalli, having contested and won three times out of four attempts. He comes from a family with a long history of political involvement. On the other hand, Ganta Srinivasa Rao is known for his ability to switch constituencies and secure victories easily, having been elected to the Lok Sabha from multiple areas over the years. The article highlights that Chandrababu Naidu is eyeing a strategic move to field Ganta against Botsa in Cheepurupalli, as internal surveys of the TDP indicate that Ganta is seen as the ideal candidate to challenge and potentially defeat Botsa.

The dynamics of the constituency have seen shifts in party representation over the years, with TDP and Congress candidates emerging victorious at different times. The article also provides a breakdown of the election outcomes in Cheepurupalli since 1983, indicating the historical dominance of TDP in the region.

Pawan Kalyan responds about Seat Sharing February 21, 2024 20:04

Pawan Kalyan responds about Seat Sharing:- Pawan Kalyan, the leader of Janasena Party, recently hinted at the potential number of seats that his party may receive as part of the seat-sharing agreement within the Telugu Desam – Janasena – BJP alliance. During an interaction with JSP cadre and leadership in Rajahmundry, Pawan Kalyan mentioned that the party might be allocated around 30 MLA seats and confirmed to receive 3 MP seats. While Pawan Kalyan was not conclusive about the number of MLA seats, he expressed more confidence when announcing the MP seats that Janasena candidates will contest. He revealed that Janasena candidates will be running for the Anakapalle, Kakinada, and Machilipatnam MP seats. This revelation could potentially mean that Nagababu may contest from Anakapalle and Balashouri, a defector from YCP, may contest from Machilipatnam. These developments in the alliance and seat-sharing strategy are being closely monitored by political observers and supporters alike, as they signal the potential distribution of seats and candidates in the upcoming elections.

Balakrishna's Political Break February 21, 2024 15:57

Balakrishna's Political Break:- Nandamuri Balakrishna, the esteemed veteran actor, is renowned for his consistent work ethic and aversion to long breaks between films. After the release of his previous movie, Bhagawant Kesari, on the eve of Dasara last year, he immediately began shooting for his next project. This upcoming film is helmed by KS Bobby, the director known for Waltair Veerayya. However, the release date for this film has not been finalized, and the reason for this is as follows. Balayya has been tirelessly shooting for this movie throughout January and February, and it is expected to continue for another week. According to reports, the senior actor has planned to take a break of nearly three months starting in March 2024. This break is intended to allow him to focus on his political endeavors for an extended period. If the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) achieves a sweeping victory in the upcoming general election in Andhra Pradesh, it is likely that the esteemed Nandamuri star will be entrusted with more significant responsibilities, potentially even a Ministerial position. Considering his commitment to the Hindupur constituency and other election campaigns, Balayya does not wish to commence shooting until he is completely free. Due to the uncertainty surrounding Balayya's availability for shooting, the makers of the film have refrained from announcing a release date for #NBK109 during Dasara, according to insiders.

Revanth Reddy gets nod from Centre for RRR to turn NH February 21, 2024 14:20

Revanth Reddy gets nod from Centre for RRR to turn NH:- The southern portion of the Hyderabad Regional Ring Road (RRR), which spans 182 kilometers and passes through Choutuppal, Amangal, Shadnagar, and Sangareddy, is set to be designated as a national highway by the government. This comes after the recent announcement declaring the northern section of the RRR, which stretches 158 kilometers, as a national highway. On Tuesday, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy requested Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, to also declare the southern part of the RRR as a national highway. Gadkari responded positively to the Chief Minister's request and instructed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to develop proposals for declaring the southern section of the RRR as a national highway. ??? ?????Telangana Chief Minister Shri @revanth_anumula Ji called on Union Minister Shri @nitin_gadkari Ji in New Delhi today. They discussed the progress of ongoing National Highway projects in the state of Telangana. pic.twitter.com/YBgUBO6j0u — Office Of Nitin Gadkari (@OfficeOfNG) February 20, 2024 This declaration will allow the government to cover the project cost and 50% of the land acquisition costs. Additionally, Gadkari agreed to cover the expenses, amounting to nearly Rs 200 crore, for relocating utilities that are obstructing the construction of the northern part of the RRR. During their discussion, the Chief Minister and the Union Minister also addressed the ongoing dispute between the Centre and Telangana regarding the removal of utilities along the alignment of the RRR's northern part, specifically from Choutuppal to Kandi via Bhuvangiri and Toopran. The government was requested to cover the expenses of relocating the utilities. However, the state government refused to agree, resulting in an ongoing deadlock. After assuming his position in December 2023, Revanth Reddy wrote a letter to the NHAI, stating that he would take responsibility for the costs of moving the utilities. On Tuesday, Gadkari questioned NHAI officials about the matter and reprimanded them for expecting the state government to cover the shifting expenses. Gadkari explained that if the state government were to bear the costs, half of the toll revenue would have to be given to them. Gadkari assured Revanth Reddy that the central government would cover the expenses of relocating the utilities and urged him to expedite the land acquisition and procedural processes for the construction of the RRR. During the meeting, which lasted approximately one-and-a-half hours, Revanth Reddy highlighted the difficulties faced in expanding national highways. (Video Source: Zee Telugu News)

The baby boy, named Akaay, was born on February 15th. In a statement posted on their social media accounts, the couple kindly requested privacy during this special time. Kohli and Anushka, who tied the knot in 2017, also celebrated their daughter Vamika's third birthday on January 11th, 2024. It's worth noting that in 2021, Kohli prioritized his family and returned home after the first Test match against Australia to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. Initially, he withdrew from the first two Tests against England, but then decided to withdraw from the entire series due to personal reasons, with the support of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The news of Kohli and Anushka's second child was first revealed by AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel. He suddenly changed his stance and admitted to being clueless about the reason behind Kohli's decision to take a break. "With abundant happiness and our hearts all of love, we are pleased to inform everyone that on 15th February, we welcomed our baby boy Akaay & Vamika's little brother into this world!

Alla Ramakrishna Reddy returns back to YSRCP February 21, 2024 13:00

Alla Ramakrishna Reddy returns back to YSRCP:- In an interesting twist in the political realm, Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, the MLA of Mangalagiri, has returned to the YSRC party in the presence of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Previously, Ramakrishna Reddy had left the YSRC and joined the Congress when Y.S. Sharmila, Jagan Mohan Reddy's sister, became the president of the APCC. Political circles view Ramakrishna Reddy's decision as a prodigal son returning home. Accompanied by his brother, Rajya Sabha member Alla Ayodhya Rami Reddy, and YSRC Mangalagiri incharge Ganji Chiranjeevi, Ramakrishna Reddy met the CM at Tadepalli on Tuesday to rejoin the YSRC party. Ramakrishna Reddy expressed his support for Sharmila's 3,600-km padayatra in Telangana. When her YSR Telangana Party failed to make headway and she was unable to join the Congress in Telangana, Sharmila agreed to become the president of the AP Congress unit to revive the party. Ramakrishna Reddy openly declared his support for her and began associating with the Congress. Ultimately, he decided to part ways with Jagan Mohan Reddy and switch to the APCC. Ramakrishna Reddy felt stifled in the Congress and made the decision to withdraw his support. On Tuesday, he reached out to Jagan Mohan Reddy and expressed his commitment to assist the party in the upcoming elections. Ramakrishna Reddy acknowledged the YSRC for granting him the opportunity to be elected as an MLA twice. He emphasized his strong affinity for the YSRC, which prompted his return to the party. Ramakrishna Reddy predicted that Lokesh would face defeat in Mangalagiri once again, this time at the hands of a BC leader. He expressed regret for his two-month absence from the YSRC and declared his determination to secure victory for the party in Mangalagiri. Praising Jagan Mohan Reddy, Ramakrishna Reddy likened him to his father, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, and commended his leadership. Ramakrishna Reddy deferred the decision on the candidate for Mangalagiri to the party leadership, and expressed his willingness to contribute wherever his services were required.
