Rising prices of essential commodities for price-rise chandrababu naidu
0 comments “Rising prices of essential commodities have made our lives very difficult in the city. How can we subsist with our low incomes,” an old woman asked while explaining her plight to former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The TDP chief heard similar views from a cross-section of people during the second day of his election campaign in the city on Tuesday.
Naidu toured Musheerabad, Malakpet, Amberpet Assembly constituencies and held several street-corner meetings which attracted sizeable crowds.He interacted with citizens at several places especially Bholakpur, inquired about their lifestyle and incomes.
He also inquired about local development works, all the time comparing them with those during his regime. Though it rained several times, Naidu’s meetings went on. As expected, the TD president criticised the Congress rule on various issues. Naidu said that ‘Bhagyanagar’ had become a major tourist destination during his government’s nine-year tenure.
But the current government had ignored development completely and the city had lost its place on world tourist map now. Congress leaders were ‘busy’ with land-grabbing activities. Therefore, welfare and developmental works had ground to a halt. “If people vote for the Congress in the GHMC elections, the prices of essential commodities will rise to unexpected levels,” Naidu warned.
He also urged people to defeat the MIM and the communal BJP in the elections as both were ignoring people’s issues.

The girls also complained to the state governor and the human rights commission. The commission had also sought a report from West Godavari district police, which found Rama Rao guilty of molestation.The case took a political overtone after TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu accused the Congress government of implicating the legislator in false cases.
Rama Rao and his family members also started an indefinite fast early this month to demand withdrawal of the case.

PRP will contest all the 150 divisons in GHMC Elections
0 commentsPraja Rajyam will contest all the 150 divisions in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) in the ensuing elections.
Announcing this at a press conference here today, PRP president Chiranjeevi said the party was ready to ally with the Left parties, if they come forward for an electoral pact. The PRP would have no truck with Telugu Desam and its relations with the TDP was limited to public issues. ``The PRP is ready to work with the TDP on burning issues like the price rise,’’ he said.
On the Babli dam issue, he said the Congress Government should exert pressure on the Centre to force the Maharashtra Government to stop the project works immediately. If the project was completed, the northern Telangana would be dry, he said, urging the State Government to take the opposition parties into confidence in exerting pressure on the Centre to get the dam works stopped.
Answering a question about DMK’s objection to the allotment of `Rising Sun’ symbol to the PRP by the Election Commission, he said there was nothing wrong in allotting the symbol of one regional party to another regional party of a different State.
The `Cycle’ symbol was allotted to the TDP in Andhra Pradesh and to Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh. He, however, hastened to add that it was a matter between the DMK and Election Commission.
The PRP MLA set up a core committee with seven local leaders to solve people’s problems in his Tirupati Assembly constituency. Each member would act as a coordinator between people and a particular department.The members include Ooka Vijayakumar (Revenue), P Mallikharjun (Police). S Subbaramaiah (TTD), Mabbu Sekhar Reddy (Panchayat Raj), Narasimhachari (Municipal Corporation), C Sarvottam (Hospitals) and Social Welfare and Hostels (Ashok Samrat Yadav).
Addressing Chiranjeevi Seva Dal activists later, the PRP president said it was unfortunate that no State Congress leader figured in the list of new governors appointed by the Centre.
Though it was an internal matter of the Congress, I was unhappy to note that no one from the State Congress was chosen for the gubernatorial post despite having several seasoned leaders like M Satyanarayana Rao, who rendered valuable services to the party and to the people, he said.

Babli issue: Telugu desam party wants Centre to intervene
0 commentsThe main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to immediately take steps to stop Maharashtra from fixing gates at the Babli project across river Godavari.
Addressing a press conference here, senior TDP leader E Dayakar Rao alleged that the upper riparian state was going ahead with fixing the gates for the project allegedly in violation of the Supreme court order.At least now, Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy should immediately take up the matter with Dr Singh and ensure that Maharashtra comply with the apex court orders, he added.
The Congress Government had been in ’deep slumber’ for the last five years, allowing Maharashtra to construct Babli and 11 other barrages on a war-footing, he charged, adding as many 15 lakh acres in the districts of Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Adilabad and Nalgonda would turn barren.
It was the TDP which brought to limelight the alleged ’’illegal’’ projects by visiting the projects sites in Maharashtra, braving lathicharge and arrests, he added.

TDP gearing up for offensive
0 commentsTelugu Desam Party, the main opposition in the assembly, is gearing up for an offensive during the month-long budget session beginning July 24, indicating that there would be a lot of fire works.
The party will hold talks with other opposition parties for floor coordination on issues like steep increase in the prices of red gram (toor dal), rice, frequent power cuts, poor rainfall, failure to stop Karnataka and Maharashtra from constructing illegal projects on Krishna and Godavari. It is also gathering information about illegal constructions on Tungabhadra river.
The party also proposes to raise the issue of the harassment of party MLA from Kovur T V Rama Rao against whom a CID inquiry has been ordered following allegations of sexual harassment of students in the nursing college owned by him at Nidadavole.
Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has asked the party MLAs and the research wing of the party to gather full information with necessary photos and statistics on all important issues to put the government on the mat.
The TDP leaders feel that when the issue of rising prices comes up, the chief minister and other Congress members would surely try to make snide remarks and suggest the retail chain owned by Naidu’s wife should sell the goods at cheaper rate to help the common man. The party leaders say that if the government tries to indulge in such tactics, they would respond in a befitting manner. "It is Reddy’s style to hit back at the retail chain, Heritage Fresh, owned by Naidu’s family members, they said.
Talking to TOI, a senior leader said charity should begin at home and YSR should ask his son and daughter who own power projects in a neighbouring state to run the units at 80 percent plant load factor and supply the entire power to the state power utilities at generation cost so that the gap between demand and supply which is over 500 MW a day could be brought down to a great extent.
Asked if that would mean that there would fire works resulting in pandemonium, TDP leaders said that they would raise the issues as per rules and strive for perfect floor coordination. It is for the government to respond and ensure that proper discussion takes place. TDP, he said, was not interested in creating ruckus in the House but the responsibility to conduct the business smoothly lies with the government, he added.
