The YSR Congress party has taken it as a prestigious issue to win the forthcoming by-elections to Nandyal assembly seat to show that the countdown for the fall of the Telugu Desam Party government headed by N Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh has begun.
Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu seems to be more interested in getting the number of MLA seats increased, rather than lobbying for more funds for the state.
Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who sought to project himself as the closest ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party with his over-action during the nomination of NDA’s presidential candidate Ramnath Kovind, received a rude shock on Wednesday.
An order quietly passed by Supreme Court on Tuesday striking off Section 66-A of the Information Technology Act of 2000 has nailed the Chandrababu Naidu government which was using the section to intimidate social media activists who criticised him and his government.
Shocking as it might sound, a dinner hosted by the Chandrababu Naidu government for just 19 guests in February cost a whopping Rs 18.29 lakh, at the rate of Rs 96,285 per head!
If the reports coming from New Delhi are to be believed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a go-ahead for increasing the number of MLA seats in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states.
Once-bitten-twice-shy, the bureaucrats and officials in the Andhra Pradesh government are simply refusing to yield to the pressures of the public representatives, especially the ruling party leaders and do works that are not according to the rules.
YSR Congress party MLA from Mangalagiri Alla Ramakrishna Reddy has become a hard nut to crack for Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu with regard to construction of capital city of Amaravati.
The Left parties in Andhra Pradesh, which were trying to regain their political base by forging alliance with the YSR Congress party and win a few seats in the next assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, are left in quandary with YSRC president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy sending feelers to the Bharatiya Janata Party for support.
It appears the Chandrababu Naidu government in Andhra Pradesh is hell bent on forcibly acquiring the lands of farmers of Vundavalli, Penumaka and Tadepalli villages for the capital city of Amaravati, without even paying heed to their problems.
Last week, Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his Telangana counterpart K Chandrasekhar Rao had been to New Delhi to attend the nomination event of NDA’s presidential candidate Ramnath Kovind.
Telangana minister for information technology K T Rama Rao, who is also in-charge of Hyderabad, has attacked a section of media for creating a negative impact about the city by writing stories on the sensational Miyapur land scam.
It is now once again clear that Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has absolutely no guts to take action against JC brothers – Anantapur MP J C Diwakar Reddy and Tadipatri MLA J C Prabhakar Reddy.
If the speculations doing rounds in the political circles are true, former chief secretary IYR Krishna Rao, who was recently sacked from the post of AP Brahmin Welfare Corporation chairman, is likely to be nominated to Rajya Sabha.
At the national level, the Telugu Desam Party has forged an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party, but in Telangana, it may not have such an agreement with the saffron party, which is planning to go alone in 2019 assembly elections to take on the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
