Naidu holds meeting with Shah, Nadda on alliance

TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president J P Nadda in New Delhi late on Wednesday evening. The three had detailed talks about the alliance among the TDP, Jana Sena and the BJP in Andhra Pradesh for the forthcoming general election to the state Assembly.

The Jana Sena and the TDP have already tied up for the elections. They held talks over seat sharing and an announcement is expected some time in the last week of February or the first week of March. The two parties are firm on having the alliance to defeat the ruling YSR Congress.

Jana Sena does not want to split the anti-government vote and thus benefit the ruling party. It is for this reason the party had tied up with the TDP. On its part, the TDP does not want to give another chance to the YSR Congress and hence is exploring every possibility to defeat the ruling party.

Meanwhile, during the talks with the BJP leaders, it is said that Chandrababu Naidu is said to have offered four MP seats to the BJP, besides the MLA seats. Any MP seat is important for the BJP and hence it had agreed for the alliance, sources say.

The talks were held in a positive atmosphere and the alliance is almost final, the sources say. A detailed discussion is to be held with the State leadership of the BJP to share the seats. The BJP top leadership had already invited the state leadership for a dialogue on the alliance.

State BJP chief Daggubati Purandeswari is in favour of the alliance right from the beginning. She had given enough indications that there would be an alliance with the TDP. However, she said that it would be decided by the party’s national leadership.

Now that the national leadership had come forward and held talks with the TDP chief, things were made easy for Purandeswari to move forward. She is likely to give a list of the Assembly and Parliament seats to be contested by the party to the national leadership. The national leadership then would meet Chandrababu Naidu for the second time and finalise the alliance, the sources said.

Andhra minister terms Vizag steel plant privatisation a big scam

Andhra minister terms Vizag steel plant privatisation a big scam

Andhra Pradesh Minister for Industries and Information Technology, Gudivada Amarnath, on Monday hit back at Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his allegation that the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government in the state is involved in rampant corruption.

Condemning the allegations levelled by Shah at a public meeting in Visakhapatnam, Amarnath said those who want to sell Visakhapatnam Steel plant have no right to speak about corruption.

Terming privatisation of steel plant a big scam, Amarnath said it is ridiculous that those who are taking steps to sell the plant are talking about corruption.

He said when Amit Shah came to Visakhapatnam, people had a hope that he would make an announcement to halt the privatisation of the steel plant.

The minister said that Amit Shah and BJP President J.P. Nadda read the script given by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

He dared both TDP and BJP to join hands for the electoral battle and made it clear that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) will fight it alone.

He also clarified that YSRCP never had any alliance with any party. Amarnath said that YSRCP has no need to touch the feet of any political party.

“Our relations with the BJP are government to government relations. The respect you get will depend on the respect you give. We give respect for the sake of the state’s interests,” Amarnath said.

He also told Shah and Nadda that they will not grow in stature by criticising Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.

He further advised the BJP leaders to open their eyes and see the development that is happening in the state.

“Does the state have no share in the funds which come from the Centre,” he asked while reacting to Shah’s statement about the Centre giving funds to the state.

He also claimed that the Centre’s share is only Rs 200 in the monthly pension of Rs 2,750 being paid to 65 lakh beneficiaries under various social security schemes.

The state minister also told Shah that the IIT and IIM were the state’s rights under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.

“What more have you given to Andhra Pradesh,” he asked.

Amarnath also reminded the Union minister that Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy gave Rs 2.16 lakh crore to people through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Is the BJP moving close to the TDP in AP?

BJP national president J P Nadda and Central home minister Amit Shah have addressed two meetings in Andhra Pradesh in the last two days. While Nadda addressed the public meeting in Tirupati, Shah addressed the meeting in Visakhapatnam.

What is interesting here in both the public meetings was the speakers targeting the ruling YSR Congress. Never before the national leaders of the TDP have targeted the YSR Congress in the last four years.

Though there were criticisms on and off from the State leaders, the national leaders never went so hard on the YSR Congress and the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led state government.

The criticism came shortly after TDP president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu meeting both Shah and Nadda in Delhi recently. It was said that Naidu had explained the high-level corruption and criminal politics of the YSR Congress in the state.

While it is not known whether the BJP and TDP leaders have agreed for a tie-up ahead of the 2024 general election, it looked as if the friendship between the BJP and the YSR Congress had ended. Otherwise, the BJP top leaders would not have gone so hard against Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The Nadda and Shah meetings have sent one message in common that they have a lot of information about the state government and its style of functioning. The way both Nadda and Shah have targeted the Jagan Mohan Reddy’s dispensation shows that they no longer require Jagan Mohan Reddy’s support, and they are no longer friends with the YSR Congress.

If that is the case, it is going to be tough for Jagan Mohan Reddy to face the TDP-BJP combine in the coming elections. It is not going to be easy for him to win 151 seats this time if the BJP decides to align with the TDP.

It is to be seen if Jagan Mohan Reddy compromises with the BJP leaders or the TDP gains an upper hand to make a comeback in the next general election.

Naidu meets Amit Shah, Nadda in Delhi

TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu had a meeting with BJP national president J P Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Saturday evening. This was his first meeting with the BJP leaders after he broke the alliance with them in 2018.

Chandrababu Naidu was accompanied by party MPs, Kesineni Nani, Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu and Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar, besides former MP Kambhampati Rammohan Rao. The meeting lasted for 45 minutes, sources say.

Sources further indicate that Chandrababu Naidu had briefed Shah and Nadda about the political situation in the two Telugu states and the need to build alliance between the TDP and the BJP for mutual benefit.

The TDP is strong in several pockets of Telangana state and that would benefit the BJP in the next round of general election. The BJP, which is aiming at winning the next election, has no alliance with other parties in Telangana and the TDP’s offer is irresistible.

However, the outcome of the meeting is not known yet. Chandrababu Naidu is also likely to meet Prime Minister Narendar Modi on Sunday either before the G20 meet or after.

Earlier in the day, Chandrababu Naidu arrived in Delhi along with MPs, Kesineni Nani and Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar. He was received at the Delhi airport by party MPs and others.

Did Jagan meet Shah to save Avinash Reddy?

Did Jagan meet Shah to save Avinash Reddy?

Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday night. The meeting happened at 10 pm and lasted for 45 minutes.

The chief minister’s office had said that the chief minister had requested the Union Home Minister to take special interest in bifurcating the institutions listed in Schedule IX and X of the AP Reorganisation Act 2014. The Union Home Ministry is handling the bifurcation of these institutions and had held three rounds of meetings with the officials of the two Telugu states.

The chief minister’s officials also said that the meeting focused on pending issues with the Central government and the pending issues of bifurcation.

However, the opposition parties say that the meeting was held to save Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy from the CBI cases. The CBI had framed charges against Avinash Reddy in the former minister Vivekananda Reddy murder. The CBI attributed political rivalry behind the murder and had even filed an affidavit in the Telangana high court.

The Telangana high court is hearing the anticipatory bail petition of Avinash Reddy. The vacation bench of the high court had completed hearing the arguments on both sides and had reserved its order for May 31. The court also told the CBI not to arrest Avinash Reddy till it declares the order.

There is wide speculation in the state that the CBI would arrest Avinash Reddy any time after the Telangana high court gives its judgment. The CBI framed charges giving no room for Avinash to escape from the arrest.

The CBI had also told the court that it would not investigate the case as desired by Avinash Reddy and said that the investigation so far had pointed an accusing finger at Avinash Reddy. However, the CBI said that Avinash Reddy was not cooperating with the investigating officers and sought judicial custody of the MP.

It is to be seen if Jagan Mohan Reddy had really requested Amit Shah to save his cousin from the CBI cases or only raised the state issues as claimed by the chief minister’s office.

Owaisi slams Amit Shah over promise to scrap Muslim quota

Owaisi slams Amit Shah over promise to scrap Muslim quota

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his promise that if the BJP is voted to power in Telangana, it will scrap reservation for Muslims in the state.

Owaisi said while Prime Minister Narendra Modi talks of reaching out to backward Muslims, Shah is promising to remove their reservation.

“Modi allegedly says reach out to pasmanda Muslims, Amit Shah complies by promising to remove their reservation,” tweeted Owaisi

The Hyderabad MP also reminded Shah that reservations for backward Muslim groups are based on empirical data.

“Please read the Sudhir Commission report. If you cannot, please ask someone who can. Reservations for Muslims are continuing under a stay from SC,” Owaisi wrote.

Addressing a public meeting at Chevella near Hyderabad on Sunday evening, Shah had promised to do away with reservations for Muslims.

He called the quota for Muslims “anti-Constitutional” and said that reservation is the right of the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC).

“After the BJP government is formed in Telangana, we will end Muslim reservation. This is the right of SCs, STs, OBCs,” he said.

Owaisi said if Shah was serious about justice for SCs, STs and OBCs, then he should introduce a Constitutional amendment to remove the 50 per cent quota ceiling.

This is not the first time that Shah has spoken about removing reservations for Muslims in Telangana.

He made the promise on several occasions in the past and reiterated this in view of Assembly elections scheduled later this year.

The BJP government in Karnataka last month scrapped 4 per cent quota for OBC Muslims.

Backward Muslims in Telangana also enjoy 4 per cent reservation in education and jobs. This was introduced by the Congress government in undivided Andhra Pradesh about 15 years ago.

The state’s incumbent Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)-led government has promised to increase the Muslim quota to 12 per cent.

A resolution to this effect was passed in Telangana Assembly and sent to the Centre five years ago but the proposal has been rejected by the BJP-led government.

Owaisi also took a dig at Shah for repeatedly naming him in his speech while targeting the BRS government.

“Ye ‘Owaisi Owaisi’ ka rona kab tak chalega? Khaali khattey dialog’aan maarte rehte. Please sometimes speak about record-breaking inflation & unemployment also. Telangana has the highest per capita income in the country,” tweeted Owaisi.

The AIMIM chief alleged that except anti-Muslim hate speech, the BJP has no vision for Telangana.

“All they can offer is fake encounters, surgical strikes on Hyderabad, curfews, releasing criminals & bulldozers. Why do you hate people of Telangana so much?,” he asked.

Shah had alleged in his speech that the steering of the ‘car’ (poll symbol of BRS) is in the hands of Owaisi.

He also alleged that the BRS is not celebrating Telangana Liberation Day as it is afraid of Owaisi.

Shah to meet Oscar winning Naatu Naatu team in Hyderabad

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will meet Oscar award winning team of Naatu Naatu song in Hyderabad on Sunday.

During his brief visit to Telangana, he will meet the artists associated with the award winning song from S.S. Rajamouli’s blockbuster RRR over high tea at Novotel Hotel near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.

Rajamouli, Music director M.M. Keeravani, lyricist Chandrabose, singers Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava, choreographer Prem Rakshith, actors Junior NTR and Ram Charan are likely to be present during the meeting.

Last month, Naatu Naatu bagged the Oscar for Best Original Song to become the first Indian and Asian song to receive the coveted award.

After returning to India, Ram Charan along with his father Chiranjeevi had met Amit Shah in Delhi.

In August last year, Amit Shah had met Junior NTR at Novotel Hotel near Hyderabad Airport. The Union Minister has reportedly requested the meeting after he liked the actor’s performance in RRR.

The BJP leader is scheduled to meet the RRR team soon after landing at Rajiv Gandhi Airport around 4 p.m. He will then leave for Chevella near Hyderabad by road as part of Parliament Pravas Yojana.

Amit Shah will address a public meeting at Chevella the same evening. The BJP is making large scale arrangements for the meeting, seen as a part of the party’s preparations for Assembly elections in Telangana scheduled later this year.

Meanwhile, party’s state leadership is busy making a list of leaders from other parties who will be joining BJP in the presence of Amit Shah at Chevella meeting.

Former minister Jupally Krishna Rao and former MP Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy are likely to join BJP. They were recently suspended from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for anti-party activities.

The BJP is looking to woo many leaders from BRS and Congress to its ranks to consolidate itself in the run-up to the polls. Last week, AICC programmes implementation committee chairman Alleti Maheshwar Reddy joined the BJP.

Amit Shah’s visit to Hyderabad comes close on the heels of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit. During his visit on April 8, the Prime Minister had launched several developmental projects and also addressed a public meeting.

Upbeat after Modi’s visit, the state leadership of the party is drawing plans to invite him and Amit Shah to the state every month.

Shah, Nadda congratulate T’gana BJP over MLC poll victory

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP national president J.P. Nadda and other central leaders on Friday congratulated the party’s Telangana leadership over the victory of BJP-backed candidate in the Legislative Council election.

Shah termed the victory of A.V.N. Reddy from Mahabubnagar-Rangareddy-Hyderabad teachers’ constituency as historic.

He congratulated Reddy, BJP state president Bandi Sanjay and the entire state unit of the party.

“This victory shows that Telangana people are fed up with corruption and want a pro-poor, transparent govt under PM Modi’s leadership,” tweeted Shah.

Responding to the tweet, Sanjay said that the collective movement of people belonging to various sections against the corrupt government of the KCR family is reaching its peak under the leadership of the BJP.

He claimed that the election result is proof that the entire people of Telangana are waiting for a double-engine government.

He exuded confidence that with the same spirit, the party will achieve final victory with the help and guidance of the Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Nadda also took to Twitter to congratulate Reddy, Bandi Sanjay and the party’s state unit for ‘historic victory’. The BJP president wrote that the people have discarded the BRS once more and have embraced the BJP’s vision under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

BJP national general secretary B. L. Santosh also congratulated AVN Reddy for “well deserved win”.

“It’s another mandate against anti anti-poor, anti development, corrupt, dynast BRS party and their arrogant leadership,” he said.

Sanjay in his reply to the tweet stated that this election proved strong anti-incumbency against the dictatorial BRS, especially among employees and the ‘educated.’

Another central leader of BJP and incharge for Telangana, Tarun Chug also described the victory of the BJP candidate from the Mahbubnagar-Rangareddy-Hyderabad teachers’ constituency of the Telangana Legislative Council as historic. He congratulated all Telangana BJP workers along with A.V.N .Reddy and Bandi Sanjay.

Reddy had contested as the candidate of the BJP affiliated teachers’ union.

He was declared elected Friday after 21 rounds of counting, defeating his nearest rival G. Chennakesava Reddy of PRTU.

After the victory, Reddy went to the BJP office and called on Bandi Sanjay, who congratulated him.

Meanwhile, the BRS ridiculed Sanjay for taking credit of the win just for extension of his term. BRS leader Krishank Manne clarified that BJP did not contest the election. He said the BJP neither fielded any candidate nor supported anyone.

Amit Shah, Nadda hold meeting on BJP strategy for Telangana polls

Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national President J.P. Nadda and other central leaders discussed the party’s strategy for the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana with the party’s state leaders in the national capital on Tuesday.

A crucial meeting was held at Nadda’s residence in Delhi which was attended by Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, BJP’s incharge for Telangana Tarun Chugh, state party President Bandi Sanjay and other leaders.

Amit Shah and Nadda discussed with the state leaders the public outreach programmes undertaken by the party in the state and gave directions to strengthen the party in the run-up to the elections.

After the meeting, Bandi Sanjay told reporters that BJP will come to power in the state as people want a change and see the BJP as the only alternative to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).

He said the BRS and the Congress were spreading lies that BJP does not have leaders and candidates in all constituencies. “We have strong leaders in all 119 Assembly constituencies,” he said.

Sanjay claimed that the BJP is ready for Assembly elections whenever they are held. He announced that a massive public meeting would be organised soon for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be invited.

He said the central leaders elicited opinions of the state leaders about various programmes undertaken by the party and gave suggestions on how to take the programmes forward in the coming days.

The state BJP chief said the central leadership expressed satisfaction over the response to 11,000 corner meetings organised by the party across the state recently.

Replying to a query, Sanjay said the BJP has nothing to do with Delhi liquor policy scam and arrest of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. “BJP is in no way concerned with the liquor case. The CBI is conducting the investigations,” he said.

The BJP leader, however, criticized Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for not responding to the allegations against his daughter K. Kavitha in the liquor case. “The CBI has mentioned Kavitha’s name four times in the charge sheet. Why is KCR silent on this,” he asked.

BJP MPs K. Laxman, D. Arvind, MLA Eatala Rajender, D.K. Aruna, Vijaya Shanti,AG. Vivek, Rajagopal Reddy, Jitender Reddy and other leaders attended the meeting.

TDP appeals to Amit Shah to take responsibility of women safety in AP

TDP politburo member and woman wing president, Vangalapudi Anitha, on Monday demanded Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, respond as to why there is absolutely no safety and security for women in the State.

Vangalapudi Anitha told media persons that the recent incident at Tadepalli, just a few feet away from the Tadepalli palace, in which a blind Dalit girl was mercilessly done to death but there is no response from Jagan. Even the Minister for Home, the Chairperson of the Mahila Commission or the DGP did not respond on time, Anitha said and asked if it was not shameful to the Chief Minister as the incident took place just a few yards away from his residence.

The Chief Minister was not moved even with the screaming of the parents and yelling of the victim girl, she said and stated that the mother of the girl wants serious action be initiated against those involved in the incident. That innocent mother still believes this Chief Minister, who himself is the culprit of exploiting his mother and own sister for his personal gains, Anitha remarked.

Observing that the chairperson of the Mahila Commission went to the hospital only to strike a bargain of offering Rs 10 lakh for the mother of this victim girl, she said and stated that whenever such incidents happen the chairperson only strikes a deal with the victim families and even resorts to threats.

Demanding that the culprit who killed that blind Dalit girl be hanged to death immediately to prevent any such incident taking place in future, Anitha felt that there is no safety and security for women in the State. She said that Jagan never asked the Centre to give legitimacy to the Disa Act except making repeated appeals to bail him out of cases like corruption and murder of his paternal uncle.

Pointing out that the NCRB report clearly indicated that crime against women in the State is on the rise, Anitha said that the State Government and the DGP are only trying to suppress these facts. She demanded that Union Home Minister, Amith Shan, take the responsibility of the safety of women in the State as the women no longer have faith in the Jagan Mohan Reddy Government.

Even those who claimed that Jagan will arrive much faster than guns if any atrocities take place against women are not responding though several instances are being reported from various parts of the State, Anitha observed.

Amit Shah to review passing out parade at National Police Academy

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will review the passing out parade of the Indian Police Service (IPS) probationers at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) here on February 11.

A total of 195 officer trainees including 29 foreign officer trainees will participate in the parade.

SVPNPA director A.S. Rajan on Thursday revealed the details of the 74 RR batch of the IPS probationers. He said the Union Home Minister would be the chief guest and review Dikshanth Parade.

He said 37 lady officers, which constitute 23 per cent of total strength, would be participating in the Dikshanth Parade.

The parade would be commanded by Shahansha K S, IPS (P) of Kerala Cadre who is the all-round topper in phase 1 of 74 RR, he added.

Six officer trainees from Bhutan, eight from Maldives, five from Nepal and 10 from Mauritius will also pass out from the academy.

The director said the whole 105-week training involved 15 weeks of foundation course training and a 50-week Phase-I Basic Course. This was followed by a 30-week District Practical Training at respective cadres/states and a 10-week Phase-II Basic Course at SVPNPA.

The director also said the Course module was prepared taking into consideration the current job requirements of police officers in India.

Attitude training was given special importance during the course, enabling the officer trainees to develop a more sympathetic and victim-centric approach, he added.

He said the indoor and outdoor exposures included criminal procedure code, IPC and special laws, forensics, information and communication technology, human rights, Yoga, unarmed combat, etc., so that the candidates could develop integrity and dedication towards their job and empathy towards victims.

We will use Jr NTR services, says Somu Veerraju

Actor Junior NTR has been in the news in the Telugu states for the past one month. The media has been weaving stories around him ever since he met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Hyderabad last month.

There is a talk in the political circles that the BJP would help Junior NTR to split the TDP in Andhra Pradesh, while another talk is that Junior NTR would directly help the BJP in the two Telugu states.

However, the actor did not respond to any of these talks nor did he make any political statement about his meeting with Amit Shah.

The BJP leaders, including Union Minister for Tourism and Cultural Affairs, G Kishan Reddy, said that there was no political significance to the meeting between Amit Shah and NTR and asserted that it was just a formal meeting.

But, BJP AP president Somu Veerraju on Sunday made quite interesting remarks on NTR meeting with Amit Shah. He said the BJP would make best use of the services of Junior NTR in the two Telugu States.

If Somu Veerraju’s statements are to be taken seriously, it is clear that the BJP would use the actor in Andhra Pradesh in the 2024 general elections. Junior NTR has a great following in Andhra Pradesh and the BJP is pinning hopes of occupying the number two place in the state.

With all these plans on hand, Somu Veerraju’s statement assumes significance and it is to be seen how far Junior NTR would be able to help the BJP in the coming elections.

Shah, NTR might have discussed politics too, says GVL

BJP Rajya Sabha member G V L Narasimha Rao gave enough indications on the dinner meeting of Union Home Minister Amit Shah with Tollywood actor Junior NTR in Hyderabad two days ago. Though he did not give a clear statement on what transpired between the two during the dinner meeting, the BJP MP said that they might have discussed politics too.

There is widespread debate on the meeting between Amit Shah and Junior NTR both in the social media and the regular media. The print media had given wide coverage with videos, while the electronic media had organised political debate on the meeting.

The social media had seen several posts making comments on the meeting and making wild guesses. The video clips and the photographs of the meeting went viral in the social media with speculations.

Union Minister for Culture, G Kishen Reddy, said the meeting had no political significance and Shah wanted to congratulate Junior NTR for his action in the recent pan India movie – RRR. However, YSR Congress MLA and former minister Kodali Nani said that Amit Shah would not waste his time meeting people without political interest.

Subscribing to Kodali Nani’s statement, the BJP MP said that they might not have limited their discussion only to the film activities of the actor. “There is no doubt, politics too must have been one of the discussion points in the meeting,” GVL Narasimha Rao asserted.

However, he said everything is speculation and guess work. The actual discussion points will be known only when either of them share it outside.

Well, there is no scope for Amit Shah to reveal the subject or share his feelings with anyone after his meeting with the Tollywood actor. However, Junior NTR is expected to share at least some points with his close friends or the Nandamuri family members may be later, if not now.

We have to wait for the right time for Junior NTR to break his silence on the meeting with the Union Home Minister, the number two in command in the country these days!

Did Shah meet Jr NTR to woo Kamma voters in Telangana?

The brief meeting of Union Home Minister Amit Shah with Tollywood hero Junior NTR in Hyderabad on Sunday evening continues to create ripples in the political circles of the two Telugu states. Though it was said that TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu would meet Shah at Ramoji Film City in the presence of media baron Cherukuri Ramoji Rao, it did not happen and remained a mere rumour.

However, Shah met Junior NTR for over 40 minutes and shared his dinner with the young actor. BJP senior leader and Union Minister G Kishen Reddy said that there was no political significance to the meeting and it was purely related to the actor and his career. The BJP sources said that Shah wanted to appreciate Junior NTR and the meeting was restricted only for appreciation.

But, there is a lot doing rounds in the two Telugu states. Actor Junior NTR is an influential young leader in the two Telugu states. His influence has two aspects – a proven hero and a representative of the dominant Kamma caste from the late NTR family.

As a proven actor, Junior NTR is able to pull the crowd and can influence people, which would be of great help to the BJP in the Munugodu Assembly by-election. Nalgonda district is dominated by the Kamma settlers from Krishna and Guntur district, who own up and hold NTR close to their heart. This would help BJP to reap some votes in the by-election.

Junior NTR’s aunt, Purandheswari is already there with the BJP and Shah meeting NTR would send some clear and positive signals to the TDP leaders in the two Telugu states that BJP is their alternative. This would help the BJP get the advantage in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

In fact, the discussion is on this line in the two Telugu states and a good number of TDP and the Kamma leaders are looking towards the BJP now as an alternative, if not immediately.

Afterall, Amit Shah is a politician and whatever he does is for his party’s political advantage, even if it is eating in a Dalit leader’s house or attending a charity show. His meeting with Junior NTR is also to be seen from the political angle and not outside politics.

TRS hits back at Amit Shah for calling KCR ‘anti-farmer’

A day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah branded Telangana Chief Minister Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao ‘anti-farmer’, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) hit back at him saying it is the joke of the century.

Taking to Twitter, TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao said on Monday: “Who copied KCR’s brainchild ‘Rythu Bandhu’ & rebranded it as PM-Kisan? Who apologised to the farmers of the nation after facing their wrath over farm-laws; After losing 700 valuable lives?”

Addressing a public meeting of the BJP at Munugode Assembly constituency on Sunday, Shah had termed KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, as ‘anti-farmer’.

KTR, who is a state minister and son of KCR, pointed out that Shah criticized the Chief Minister for not joining the Centre’s Fasal Bheema Yojana.

“Earlier, Gujarat BJP government too rejected this scheme of NPA Govt & opted out! If it isn’t good for your own home state Gujarat, how is it good for Telangana? What absurd hypocrisy is this?,” asked KTR, who refers to the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as Non-Performing Alliance (NPA).

Another state minister G. Jagadish Reddy also slammed Shah for making baseless allegations at the public meeting.

Jagadish Reddy said Amit Shah did not respond to the questions posed by KCR at a public meeting in Munugode on Saturday.

“We did not expect a reply because BJP leadership has no answer to the question asked by our leader,” he said.

The Chief Minister had asked Shah to reply as to why the Centre failed to give Telangana its due share in Krishna river waters though eight years have passed since the formation of the state.

On the Union Minister’s criticism of the TRS government for not slashing the price of petrol and diesel, Jagadish Reddy said it was like the pot calling kettle black.

He said Shah should tell the people as to who hiked the prices of petroleum products and what was the quantum of hike in the last eight years.

Jagadish Reddy countered Shah’s comments on the Fasal Bima Yojana. and pointed out that the best insurance policy for farmers was being implemented in Telangana.

Under the Rythu Bima scheme, farmers are being provided Rs 5 lakh insurance coverage and so far families of one lakh farmers have benefited.

Terming Shah’s public meeting a “flop show”, another minister Koppula Eshwar said there was no public response to the meeting.

This was the reason he finished his speech in 15 minutes, he said.

Telangana BJP chief trolled for ‘carrying’ Amit Shah’s shoes

A video of Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay rushing to fetch footwear of union Home Minister Amit Shah went viral on social media on Monday.

Sanjay, who is also a Member of Parliament, is seen carrying the footwear and keeping it in front of Amit Shah when the latter came out of Ujjaini Mahankali temple in Secunderabad on Sunday.

Leaders of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Congress party branded Sanjay a ‘slave’ of Delhi and Gujarat leaders and called for safeguarding the self-respect of Telangana.

TRS leaders brutally trolled Sanjay, who often accuses TRS leaders of being slave to Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

TRS working president K. T. Rama Rao tweeted that people of Telangana are watching ‘Gujarati slaves who carry Delhi shoes and also the leader who is fighting against the Delhi leaders.’

Rama Rao, who is a state minister and son of Chief Minister KCR, stated that all sections of society are ready to reject those who insulted Telangana’s self-respect and to protect Telangana’s self-esteem.

“The speed and focus in bringing slippers shows tomorrow BJP will keep our state at the feet of Amit Shah… Beware Telangana,” tweeted another TRS leader M. Krishank.

Leaders of Congress also lashed out at Bandi Sanjay for ‘slavery’. AICC in charge for Telangana Manickam Tagore posted the video with the comment ‘Telugu self-respect’. “What’s the position of the Backward class leader in BJP see the truth,” he wrote.

“Bandi kept the Telugu self-respect at the feet of a former tadi paar,” reads a tweet from TPCC’s official handle.

Congress leader Addanki Dayakar also slammed Bandi Sanjay saying that the state BJP chief has denigrated Telangana society.

Amit Shah on Sunday visited Telangana. After offering prayers at Secunderabad temple, he addressed a public meeting in Munugode Assembly constituency to formally launch BJP’s campaign for by-election.

KTR asks Amit Shah to speak on release of convicts in Bilkis Bano case

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Working President K.T. Rama Rao took potshots at Union Home Minister Amit Shah as the latter arrived in Telangana to address a public meeting.

Rama Rao took to Twitter to remark that people of Telangana are keen to hear from Amit Shah on why the BJP government decided to release convicts in Bilkis Bano rape case.

“The people of Telangana are very keen to hear from you on why your Govt decided to release ‘Sanskari Rapists’ of #BilkisBano. Balathkar Justification is against what Hon’ble PM preached from the ramparts of Red Fort Is Gujarat Govt not taking PM sir seriously?” he asked.

The TRS leader who is also a key minister in the cabinet headed by his father K. Chandrasekhar Rao was referring to term “Sanskari” used by a Gujarat MLA of BJP while defending the convicts.

In another tweet, KTR taunted Shah on “parivarvad” (nepotism).

“The father of an ‘Ace cricketer’ who rose through the ranks & became BCCI Secretary (purely on merit) is visiting Telangana today,” wrote the TRS leader referring to Amit Shah and his son Jay Shah.

“He will campaign for a gentleman whose brother is an MP & whose wife was an MLC contestant And he will lecture & enlighten us on Parivarvad,” added KTR in an obvious reference to Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy.

Rajagopal Reddy, who recently quit as MLA from Munugode constituency and resigned from Congress, joined the BJP in the presence of Amit Shah at the public meeting in Munugode.

Meanwhile, a banner was spotted in Hyderabad’s Begumpet area on Sunday before the arrival of Amit Shah. It carried a question ‘Tadipaar Kaun Hai’ and with the slogan ‘Bye Bye Modi’ . The banner did not carry the name of the person or organisation which installed it.

The banner was seen near Begumpet Airport where Amit Shah landed.

Banners with the slogan aBye Bye Modi’ and posing questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi were seen during the latter’s public meeting in Hyderabad early last month.
