Jagan Govt issues GO attaching Rs 793 cr from Margadarsi

2

The AP State government on Monday issued a GO attaching Rs 793 crore cash from the Margadarsi Chit Fund Company. The CID which is investigating the case reported to the state government about the irregularities in the chit activities of the Margadarsi.

The CID also alleged that the Foremen, Auditor, managing director and the chairman have transferred the chit fund money to the Margadarsi corporate office in Hyderabad and invested the same in the mutual funds against the rules.

The CID further said that the Margadarsi is operating with 37 branches in Andhra Pradesh and every branch was visited and inspected some of the branches over the period. Irregularities were noticed in the branches of Vijayawada, Guntur, Narasaraopet, Anantapur, Eluru, Rajamahendravaram and Visakhapatnam.

Margadarsi auditor, K Shravan, and the foremen of these branches, managing director Cherukuri Sailaja, chairman Ramoji Rao “have conspired and committed the offences,” the government said in the GO.

Margadarsi has 1989 active chit groups operating in its branches in Andhra Pradesh with chit value ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 crore, the CID said. The state government had asked the CID additional director general to take control over the attached movable property of Margadarsi.

The government also directed the CID to file an application before the court concerned to make orders absolute.

Did Jagan meet Shah to save Avinash Reddy?

1

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.

The government would also arrange bank loans up to Rs. 35,000 each for all beneficiaries at 25 paise interest for expediting the construction, he said, adding the beneficiaries are free to choose the option.

So far, house sites were given to 30, 75,000 poor women across the State, out of which 21 lakh women were sanctioned houses each worth Rs. 2. 5 lakh, he said, adding that the worth would go up to Rs. 5 or Rs. 10 lakh. This amounts to creating property worth Rs. 3 lakh crore on the whole, he said.

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy released Rs 703 crore under Jagananna Vidya Deevena for total fee reimbursement of 9.95 lakh students for the first quarter of 2023. The amount would be directly credited into the bank accounts of students’ mothers.

Addressing the students and parents at Kovvur on Wednesday after releasing the amount, the Chief Minister said that pursuing higher education is the right of the poor and the Government has been implementing the Jagananna Vasathi Deevena and Jagananna Vidya Deevena to help poor students pursue higher education.

As suggested by social reformers like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Dr BR Ambedkar and Savitri Bai Phule, higher education only can eradicate poverty, he said, adding that the Vasathi Deevena and Vidya Deevena are being implemented with commitment to drive away poverty from the society.

Under Jagananna Vasathi Deevena and Jagananna Vidya Deevena alone, the Government has so far spent Rs 14, 912.43 crore including the arrears of Rs 1778 crore, he said, adding that the Government is disbursing the Vidya Deevena funds at the end of each quarter.

“Soon, AP will become a hub for skilled manpower and show the way for the entire country,” he stated, asking the students to pursue higher education goals unmindful of the expenses involved.

While the dropout number at the Intermediate level has come down to 22,387 from 81,813 in 2018-19, the number of students pursuing Engineering courses has gone up to 120,000 from 87,000, said the Chief Minister, stressing this is an indication of the reforms in the education sector yielding results.

The government wants every family in the State to produce a Satya Nadella, he observed, stating that introduction of job-oriented curriculum, 4-year honours degree courses, skill development training programmes and online verticals will help students a lot.

The port is becoming a reality as the Government has completed land acquisition, finalized tender process and completed financial closure besides obtaining all permissions by resolving legal hurdles, he said.

Machilipatnam would soon become the care of address for trade and commerce and industrial growth as Telangana and Chhattisgarh also would make use of the port resulting in the growth of ancillary industries creating direct and indirect work for lakhs of people over a period of time, the Chief Minister said.

Investors not confident about investing in Andhra: Chandrababu

0

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday alleged that not a single investor is confident about investing in Andhra Pradesh.

He slammed Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy over Andhra Pradesh slipping to the 14th position among states in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flow.

The former Chief Minister said that Andhra Pradesh which was once among the top 5 Indian states attracting FDIs, has now nosedived to the bottom of the list and ranks 14th.

The leader of opposition alleged that India’s richest Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is only concerned about his own wealth and PR.

“He doesn’t care about FDIs or the jobs they can create for the youth of AP. AP deserves better,” Naidu said in a tweet.

According to the information shared by the Centre in Parliament in March this year, Andhra Pradesh attracted FDI to the tune of $511.7 million between October 2019 and March 2022.

Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat held the top three positions in FDI equity inflow.

Pawan Kalyan hits back at Andhra CM over ‘ill-gotten wealth’

0

A day after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy attacked him, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan hit back over his alleged ill-gotten wealth.

Posting a photograph of an old Telugu movie Papam Pasivadu (The innocent child) on his Twitter handle, the Jana Sena Party (JSP) leader took a dig at Jagan Mohan Reddy.

“I hope someone makes this film with our AP CM. He’s too innocent & naive. Only a small change is needed here: instead of ‘suitcase’ in his hand, put multiple ‘suitcase companies’ which facilitated money laundering for his ill-gotten wealth,” wrote Pawan Kalyan.

Papam Pasivadu (The innocent child) is a 1972 Telugu movie, a remake of the South African film ‘Lost in the Desert’ (1969). The film revolves around a boy who gets lost in the desert and his attempts to find his family.

The JSP leader launched a counter-attack on the chief minister who had termed him a ‘wholesale package star’ on Tuesday.

Addressing a public meeting at Nizampatnam in Bapatla district, the chief minister had said that the actor, who was defeated in both the constituencies he contested in 2019, was now conducting stop-gap political meetings between his shooting schedules.

Pawan Kalyan also countered some other remarks made by the chief minister.

“Dear AP CM , You are not Comrade Puchhalapalli Sundarayya or Comrade Tarimela Nagi Reddy. You don’t even have the right to utter the word ‘Class War’ with your ill-gotten wealth and the violence you unleash on people. I hope one day ‘Rayalaseema’ be freed from you and your group clutches. Please…,” reads the tweet.

“PS: This story needs sand dunes of Rajasthan Desert, but the sand YCP has been looting from river banks of AP, has enough sand dunes in the collection points. Cheers!!,” Pawan Kalyan added.

Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan’s bitter critic and well-known filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma launched a counter attack on him for his tweet.

“I hope someone makes this film with you too, because you are ignorantly innocent and innocently naive. Only a small change is needed here: instead of playing a character play it with multiple characters in one character amounting to a multiple personality disorder,” wrote RGV

The director also told JSP leader that he is not NT Rama Rao or MGR. “You don’t even have the right to utter the word ‘Praja Seva’ with your ill understanding and the violence you provoke your innocent fans to indulge in ..I hope one day your Jana Sainiks will be freed from you and your psychopathic Narcissm Please..,” he wrote.

“PS: This story needs sand dunes of Rajasthan Desert, but you need Hyderabad to throw lies at the people of Andhra Pradesh looting them of their minds because you have some naive followers at some theatre collection points. Cheers!!,” added RGV.

TDP, Jana Sena lack credibility, says Jagan

1

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy went hammer and tongs against the TDP and Jana Sena stating that the two parties have no guts to contest all 175 seats independently but are trying to forge alliances for political survival. TDP will not get even second place in the next elections, he said.

Addressing a public meeting at Nizampatnam on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said that the TDP president Chandrababu Naidu only knows about backstabbing, political alliances, conspiracies and gimmicks while his foster son Pawan Kalyan dances to his tunes parroting the septuagenarian’s words and willing to make new political alliances and grant divorces at will, he said.

Describing the Jana Sena chief as a wholesale package star, he said the actor who was defeated in two constituencies is conducting stop-gap political meetings between his shooting schedules. Like the TDP chief, his foster son too has no guts to put up candidates in all 175 constituencies for his party, he further said.

TDP and Jana Sena have no political credibility at all as Chandrababu remembers SCs, STs, BCs and minorities only at the time of elections while Pawan Kalyan plays second fiddle to Naidu as part of their political match fixing, he said sarcastically. Aided by friendly media, they are waging a war against the people and not against Jagan, he said, appealing to the people to be wary of their cunning designs.

“The TDP chief never gets tired of claiming he made Prime Ministers and Presidents. But, when we think of his 14-year rule, not even a single welfare scheme comes to our mind. Instead, he is remembered only for his backstabbing and cheating nature,” the Chief Minister remarked.

“As Opposition leader, I built my house at Tadepalli and as Chief Minister, I am living there. But Chandrababu built his palace at Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad when he was in power and is now living there after losing the elections. His foster son is also not willing to stay in the State. What good will they do to the people except pursuing the policy of loot, stash and devour?” he asked, urging the people to mark the difference between YSRCP and the Opposition parties.

0

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy released Rs.123.52 crore under the YSR Matsyakara Bharosa as assistance for the marine fishing ban period from April 15 to June 14 benefiting 1,23, 519 fishermen families across the State. An amount of Rs. 10,000 each would be credited directly into their bank accounts.

The Chief Minister also released Rs. 107.91 crore towards assistance for 23,458 fishermen families who lost their livelihood due to ONGC pipeline works in Konaseema and Kakinada districts. He also laid the foundation stone for the Rs.417 crore Nizampatnam fishing harbour.

Addressing a public meeting after releasing the amount through the click of a button, the Chief Minister said that so far each fisherman family has received Rs. 50,000 in the last four years under the YSR Matsyakara Bharosa. “I appeal to you to remember this is your government which will continue to work for your welfare,” he said.

The Chief Minister said the Government spent Rs. 2792 crore for supplying electricity at a subsidy rate of Rs. 1.50 per unit for aqua farmers.

The government has been implementing various schemes for the welfare of the fishermen, he said, adding that 10 new fishing harbours and 6 fish land centers are being built with an expenditure of Rs. 3800 crore with a view to stop migration of fishermen, besides establishing a Fisheries University in West Godavari district.

The Fisheries University will produce professional and skilled human personnel, impart knowledge on better fishing activities, train fishermen and aqua farmers on advanced technologies besides supplying quality seed, medicines and feed supplements and helping recruit skilled Fisheries Assistants at RBKs, he said.

The government is also setting up an aqua farm in 280 acres at Dindi and 11385 aqua farmers would be benefitted from this, he said, asserting that the government would be committed to do more for the economic development of fishermen and aqua farmers.

Fakes masquerading as economists at Naidu’s behest, says Jagan

0

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the TDP Chief has been unleashing fake economists and constitutional experts to mislead the people through debates using his friendly media to create a false narrative.

Addressing a public meeting at Kavali on Friday, the Chief Minister said that some suspended chartered accountants are masquerading as economists and constitutional experts at the behest of Chandrababu Naidu and his foster son Pawan Kalyan and are participating in debates to spread false messages about the welfare programmes.

The fakes and Naidu-supported retired bureaucrats are campaigning over TV channels that investment on welfare schemes is sheer waste, he said, adding that their main aim is to defame the Government and mislead the people.

Two retired bureaucrats and foster son Pawan Kalyan are parroting Naidu’s words for taking the people for a ride once again, he said, adding that people should be cautious of Naidu’s cunning moves.

Naidu cheated every section of the society during his tenure as Chief Minister with the support of his foster son Pawan Kalyan and friendly media, he said, warning the people that he would rob the public money again if he comes to power pursuing the policy of loot, stash and devour which he followed in the past.

“If Naidu comes to power again, he will stop all welfare schemes and loot the public money as is his wont,” said the Chief Minister adding that his friendly media is aiding him in the same way as the demons helped Ravanasura.

While the Government spent over Rs. 2, 10,000crores for various welfare schemes in the last four years for elevating the status of the poor, jealous Naidu and his gang of robbers were suffering from heart-burn and using fakes to mislead the public.

Naidu, aided by foster son and friendly media, is unable to digest the Government’s decision to distribute house sites to the poor in the Zone 5, he said, adding that it is fighting a war unleashed by pro-Capitalists Naidu who wants to usurp power by hook or crook.

The poor can’t survive and they would be driven out if Naidu comes to power again, he said, asking the people not to believe his vicious campaign. “If you feel you have benefitted from the welfare schemes, you should become the YSRCP soldiers and teach a fitting lesson to Naidu and his foster son in the next elections,” he appealed to the people.

Naidu gives ultimatum to Jagan on purchase of damaged farm products

0

Former chief minister and TDP president, N Chandrababu Naidu, on Saturday issued an ultimatum to Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, on purchase of moisturised farm products.

“I am giving you 72 hours’ time to make a decision on the purchase of these farm products that got totally wet in the recent untimely rains. I will come back again after that to announce my plan of action,” Naidu said after visiting the areas where the standing crop got damaged in the recent rains. Where is Jagan and is it not the responsibility of the Chief Minister to visit the farmers when they are in trouble, asked TDP supremo.

Stating that the farmers suffered heavy losses due to the untimely rains, the former chief minister felt that the millers along with the ruling YSRCP leaders are simply looting the farmers in the State. He asked as to why the millers are collecting money from the farmers.

“Even if the State Government does not purchase the grain with the set deadline of 72 hours, do not get disappointed. If Jagan does not purchase the grain we will take the stocks rto his Tadepalli palace,” Naidu declared.

Asking the farmers to get ready to move to the Chief Minister’s residence in Tadepalli, the TDP supremo told them not to get scared even if cases are filed against them. Naidu made it clear that the fight will continue till the State Government comes to the rescue of the affected farmers.

Maintaining that the farmers had to suffer heavily due to the inefficiency of the State Government, the former chief minister said that the agriculturists want compensation as their crops got completely damaged in the untimely rains.

“I have come here to repose certain confidence among the farmers and the police officials, without wearing their name badges, are threatening the ryots. We will stand by the affected till justice is done for them,” Chandrababu remarked.

Making an appeal to the farmers not to resort to suicides, Naidu assued them that he will continue his agitation till they get the compensation. “I will be back after 72 hours only to take the war path. I will show how the war will be,” he added.

Jagan divides work for Vijayasai, Sajjala

0

Chief Minister and ruling YSR Congress president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is understood to have divided the party work between his two general secretaries, V Vijayasai Reddy and Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.

The key decision was taken at a recent meeting held between Vijayasai Reddy and Jagan Mohan Reddy, which is said to have been held after a long gap.

Vijayasai Reddy is not happy with the way Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy is getting attention in both the party and the government affairs these days. Right from holding talks with the government employees to the party issues, Sajjala had been playing a key role these days, while Vijayasai Reddy remained silent.

While earlier Vijayasai Reddy played the Number 2 in the party, Sajjala appeared to have taken over the post with his active participation both in the party and the government. This seems to have made Vijayasai Reddy to remain silent and unseen in the party activities.

Vijayasai Reddy did not appear even when the state government organised a global investment summit in Visakhapatnam, which was earlier the hub of his activities. While Vijayasai Reddy remained silent and was in self-imposed exile, Sajjala occupied the limelight with his active participation in the government activities and the party programmes.

Now, at the recent meeting, Jagan Mohan Reddy had reliably handed over the party work to Vijayasai Reddy reducing Sajjala to the government affairs. Vijayasai Reddy would now sit in the party Central office and interact with the leaders and handle the party affairs including internal squabbles.

On his part, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy would stay in the Chief Minister’s camp office and take care of the government affairs and speak to the media on key issues. It is said that Sajjala, henceforth would not handle the party affairs as he had been doing for all these months.

This division of work between Vijayasai Reddy and Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy was done to reduce the burden of Jagan Mohan Reddy and minimise squabbles in the party. It is to be seen how this division of work helps Jagan to lead the party to the next general election.

Why Jagan did not visit rain-hit farmers till now, asks Naidu

0

Though rains are badly affecting the farmers in various parts of the State, why Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has till now not visited even a single affected farmer, asked former chief minister and TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Thursday.

Chandrababu Naidu, along with TDP leaders is on a tour to the combined West Godavari district on Thursday and personally visited the standing crop in Unguturu affected by the untimely rains. Narrating their problems, the farmers told Chandrababu that besides the untimely rains they are suffering losses due to the faulty policies of the State Government and that they did not even get the bags for storing the farm products.

Stating that there are various wings that alert the Government on the rains, the former chief minister felt that when a totally inefficient Chief Minister rules the State the situation will be no better than this.

“When I was the chief minister, I rushed from Hyderabad to the areas affected by the Hud Hud cyclone. Since there was no possibility to visit Visakhapatnam on that day I went by road and that is my commitment,” Chandrababu said and asked whether Jagan has no responsibility to visit the rain-hit areas.

Observing that the farm products should be purchased from the first week of April, the TDP supremo felt that this inefficient Government could not supply even gunny bags to the farmers. “This Chief Minister does not go to the rain-affected areas but shamelessly lays foundation stones for the projects for which we have already laid the foundations,” Chandrababu remarked.

When a local YSRCP woman activist, Julapalli Prabhavathi, told Chandrababu that she has to send her daughter for an examination on Friday, but she does not have even a single pie on hand now, a moved Chandababu Naidu immediately extended financial assistance of Rs 2.30 lakh for her. She said that she committed a blunder by voting for the YSRCP in the last elections and from now onwards she will be a committed TDP activist.

“Julapalli Prabhavathi had worked for the YSRCP in the last elections and had the TDP in power now she would not have faced this kind of situation,” Chandrababu said. A government should function responsibly, but this ruling dispensation has no such commitment, the TDP supremo maintained.

Jagan skips the date of his shifting to Visakha

0

AP Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy skipped the date that he had fixed earlier for his shifting to Visakhapatnam. While he had said that he would stay in Visakhapatnam from July this year, he announced on Wednesday that he would stay here from September this year.

This was his second jump on his own statements about shifting the executive capital to Visakhapatnam, as part of his three capitals plan. Though a case is pending in the Supreme Court over the capital Amaravati issue, Jagan Mohan Reddy had first talked about his shifting to Visakhapatnam at the investors meeting in Delhi some time in March.

He told the investors that he would soon be shifting to Visakhapatnam, the port city, which would be accessible and acceptable to all. Later, at the investors meeting in Visakhapatnam, Jagan Mohan Reddy told the investors and the general public that he would be shifting to the city soon and start working from Visakhapatnam.

However, later at a meeting of laying foundation stone for the Mulapadu port in March, Jagan Mohan Reddy said that he would shift lock, stock and barrel in July. He told the people in his public meeting that he would live in Visakhapatnam from July.

Within a month, Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Wednesday, while laying foundation stone for the Bhogapuram International Airport, said that he would start living in Visakhapatnam from September, this year. Perhaps, he is expecting that the Supreme Court would clear the hearing on the case by then.

Initially Jagan Mohan Reddy is understood to have been under the impression that the court would clear the Amaravati case in May-June so that he could shift to Visakhapatnam in July. However, things went in a different direction and the court is likely to post the next hearing to July.

Jagan Mohan Reddy is also expecting the Supreme Court to give him clearance to shift to Visakhapatnam and hence planned for September this year. It is to be seen whether he would stick to this month or would further postpone it.

Disappointed Balineni meets Jagan, what’s up?

0

Former minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy met chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in Tadepalli on Tuesday. The meeting was overdue as Balineni had been avoiding appointment with the chief minister.

Balineni is not happy with the way things are happening in Prakasam district of late. He alleges that some of the party leaders were not giving him due recognition and the party leadership too is supporting them.

The former minister walked out of the chief minister’s recent visit to Markapur as the police stopped him from going to the helipad to receive Jagan Mohan Reddy. The angry Balineni left the venue after shouting at the police.

On learning about it, the chief minister personally called Balineni and requested him to attend the programme, promising to settle the issues. Though the former minister attended the chief minister’s programme, he did not visit him in Tadepalli despite repeated phone calls.

The former minister is staying in Hyderabad for the past some time and is not active in the party programmes. He is also not taking part in the party’s door-to-door campaign or any other progrmame. Though he was recently made the regional coordinator of the party for Nellore, Tirupati and Kadapa districts, the former minister had not visited any of these districts in the recent past.

In this backdrop, the chief minister took personal interest and invited Balineni for a chat with him in the camp office. The disappointed former minister had finally reached the chief minister’s camp office on Tuesday and closeted with Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Sources say that the former minister is said to have explained the adverse situations in the party in his Parakasam district and the activities of some of the leaders against him. Sources say that he had complained against a senior leader who was behind the denial of permission to him to enter the helipad in Markapur.
