Arrest warrant against My Dad Killed My HusChandrababu Naidu A day after a court in Maharashtra issued an arrest warrant against him, Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said he did nothing wrong and had only tried to protect the interests of north Telangana by opposing the Babli project on the Godavari.Hitting out at the BJP, Deputy Chief Minister (Revenue) KE Krishna Murthy said the saffron party was foisting cases against Naidu as part of a "political conspiracy."The judicial first class magistrate of Dharmabad in Nanded district, NR Gajbhiye, had issued the order against Naidu and 15 others in a 2010 case related to an agitation by them over the Babli project.The magistrate directed police to arrest all the accused and produce them in the court by 21 September.Addressing a public meeting at Sunnipenta in Kurnool district this afternoon, the chief minister said: "What I did eight years ago was only to protect the north Telangana region and ensure no damage happened to Telugu people due to the construction of the Babli project... We will think what to do about the police case (and the arrest warrant)."He said Maharashtra Police deliberately arrested him and other TDP leaders on the (then united Andhra Pradesh) border when they went to protest against the Babli construction."I told the police then itself that I did nothing wrong and they could do whatever they wanted. At one point, they said they have filed cases and later said no cases. They then forcibly brought us back in a special flight to Hyderabad. And now they (Maharashtra Police) are saying notices and arrest warrant have been issued," Naidu said. "We will think what to do about it," he added.

Addressing the gathering, Murthy alleged that the BJP rule resembled that of the British regime. "BJP is foisting cases against Chandrababu as part of a political conspiracy. (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi fears that Chandrababu Naidu will prevent him from becoming the prime minister again," he said Other ministers spoke separately to the media at different places in the state and condemned the arrest warrant issued against their leader. "Issuing an arrest warrant without even serving prior notices is atrocious. This is hurting the self-respect of Andhra people," Agriculture Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy said. State TDP president and energy minister KKV Rao, Urban Development Minister P Narayana, and Civil Supplies Minister PP Rao were among those who condemned the arrest warrant and termed it a witch-hunt by the Centre. Naidu and others, then in the Opposition in the united Andhra Pradesh, had been arrested and lodged in a jail in Pune in connection

Honour Killing of Pranay in Miryalaguda will be remembered by the Telugu People for a long period. Victim's Wife Amrutha who's Father and Uncle are the main conspirators spoke to media Today over the brutal murder.

'My Father and Uncle conspired to kill Pranay. They assumed I would come back to them if Pranay is no more alive. There is no way I am going to do that! I will lead the rest of my life with our child. I want My Father and Uncle to be punished as per law. Only then, Pranay's soul will rest in peace,' she said. Amrutha told she knew Pranay from the year 2011 and they were in love ever since then.

She added, 'My Dad used to observe our moments. My Mom used to tell Me that I was in a jewellery shop and beauty parlour. She informed Me that somebody is informing My Father about us. My Father used to pressure Me that I should abort since he came to know about My Pregnancy. After Pranay's death, I called My Father to inform somebody killed Pranay. Dad cut the call saying he can't hearing anything. When I told him that even I was attacked, He appeared to be least bothered and just advised Me to visit hospital. Soon, I informed about the murder to Pranay's Father.' Amrutha recalled how his Father threatened to kill her and the manner in which his uncle hit her with dumbbells when they came to know that she was in love with Pranay. 'Pranay is a very good person. I love my husband so much,' she says.

veys blindly. That's what happened after CM KCR dissolved Telangana Assembly. A survey projected as the one conducted by Lagadapati Team has gone viral on the interest. What came as a shock to many is the prediction that Congress would win more seats than TRS in the upcoming Assembly Polls to form the Government.Fake Survey on Social Media: Congress: 61 seats, TRS: 39 seats; MIM: 7 seats; TDP: 3 seats; BJP: 3 seats; CPI: 2 seats; CPM: 1 seat; Telangana Jana Samithi & Independents: 3 seats To put an end to the speculations, Lagadapati Rajagopal clarified that the survey which is in circulation wasn't done by his Team.

'I have no connection what-so-ever with that survey. I would try to know the pulse of the people only after the announcement of Election Schedule and filing of nominations by the candidates. Whatever surveys might appear on social media until then are a creation of somebody else,' he asserts.

No Possibility Of Early Polls In AP: Lokesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh condemned the reports in a section of media that CM Chandrababu Naidu would dissolve the AP Assembly anytime soon to pave way for Early Polls. 'There is a lot to be done to the people who voted for us before the completion of the tenure. We are in no mood to rush. Elections in AP would happen as per the schedule after the completion of 5 years term,' he clarified.At the same time, Nara Lokesh claimed to be shocked and saddened to see KCR dissolve Telangana Assembly 9 months before the end of the term.

Now, Many people could be curious to know what was the response of Chinnababu for Early Polls in 2004. Republic TV came up with a cooked up story that even TDP Government in AP is going to dissolve the Assembly within a week eyeing Early Polls. The Media House had gone to the extent of saying Chandrababu Naidu would do so to ensure Assembly Polls for AP & Telangana would happen simultaneously. None of the Andhrites were convinced by the fake story as the Ruling Party isn't ready to face elections anytime soon.

Youngsters in the age group of 20 to 30 should be brought under a single platform. Youth are succeeding in IT sector as they are well versed in both English and Mathematics, he said.

There are 119 Assembly Constituencies in Telangana as of now. The Count would have gone up to 153 had if Centre carried out delimitation of constituencies. Mahakutami comprising of Congress, TDP, TJS and CPI is in need of anywhere around 150 seats. 7 out of 119 Seats can been exempted as mostly MIM wins these constituencies unopposed. Technically, All the other parties have been contesting in 112 segments. Congress is very particular about fielding candidates in 90 constituencies. TDP, on the other hand, is keen to contest in 36 seats. Anything less than that is considered suicidal for the party which won 15 seats in 2014 Polls. Kodandaram's Telangana Jana Samithi eyes not less than 35 seats. Last but not the least, CPI wants at least 4-5 seats. Overall, 165 Seats will be required for Mahakutami to materialize. Which party is ready to compromise & which party is willing to sacrifice its seats for making it work?

Gaddar To Be Jana Sena CM Candidate

Just alike the head of any other party, Pawan Kalyan has been preparing for the Early Polls in Telangana.

Alliance between Jana Sena and CPM is likely to be finalized in the near future. Renowned Telugu Balladeer Gaddar could be the Chief Minister candidate of Jana Sena-CPM. TRS Supremo KCR made it clear he will be the Chief Minister for second term as well if his party retains power. The so-called Mahakutami comprising of Congress-TDP-CPI-TJS isn't even in a position to say which one among them will take the lead if they emerge victories. BJP doesn't announce CM Candidate prior to the elections. MIM has already declared KCR will continue as CM after Assembly Polls. Last but not the least, Jana Sena-CPM might prefer Gaddar as CM Candidate. While Jana Sena lacked organizational structure, CPM could create impact in not more than 45 constituencies. What is the use of announcing CM Candidate of these parties? This is just a strategy followed by political parties to make public take them seriously. How far this strategy works?

He went on to say corruption isn't a big deal when Lokesh was accused of being corrupt. And now, He says a National Agency will serve notices to CM Chandrababu Naidu. If anything of that sort happens, It's up to the Chief Minister to prove he is clean. Why Shivaji is so worried about the enquiry which is meant to reveal the truth?

YSR Congress Party Kicks Off Outreach Campaign The Yuvajana Shramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) has kicked-off a one-month long mass outreach campaign "Ravali Jagan" across all 175 Assembly Constituencies in Andhra Pradesh. All the 175 assembly coordinators across the state started booth visits in their respective constituencies. The coordinators have started conducting meetings with the booth conveners and committee members. After the booth-level meetings, assembly constituencies coordinators were involved in door-to-door campaigning in respective booths, followed by holding a public meeting in the village. The coordinators have to cover a minimum of two booths per day.The assembly constituencies' coordinator, booth committee In-charge, Mandal president, Mandal booth committee in-charge, booth conveners and committee members were present in the booth committee meetings. The coordinators explained the electoral revision process and started assigning 30 houses to each booth committee member. The YSRCP has constituted a 20-member booth committee across booths in Andhra Pradesh. "Every Assembly coordinator will conduct door-to-door campaign to identify the problems of the people and also to exhibit the failures of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government and strengthen the party at the grassroots level," YSRCP supremo Jaganmohan Reddy had said in a meeting on September 11 to its party leaders. During the public address, the coordinators explained the benefits of "Nava Rathnalu" schemes; Jaganmohan Reddy's Praja Sankalpa Yatra and spoke about local issues affecting the public in the area.They also highlighted the failures of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's government including the defeat in securing special category status to Andhra Pradesh, farm loan waiver, one job per household, housing to poor, women safety in Andhra Pradesh, rising crime rate and the rampant corruption in the state. Addressing "Ravali Jagan" launch in Panyam, State General Secretary Katasani Ram Bhopal Reddy came down heavily on Mr Naidu for his failure to implement various promises made during 2014 polls."Though four years have passed, Naidu never cared to implement the promises. The public is not happy with Chandrababu Naidu ruling as the schemes are not reaching the poor and eligible," he said, adding that it is only Jagan who can do justice for Andhra Pradesh."Janmabhoomi committees are cheating poor people by not giving the schemes to the eligible. Jagan Mohan Reddy's ruling will not have any discrimination between poor and rich all will be treated the same," he added.

Chandrababu Naidu Attacks Centre On Andhra Status Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu once again flayed the central government over denial of SCS to the state and 'failure' to implement provisions of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014 and accused the Prime Minister of seeking to create a wedge between the two Telugu states.He also alleged that the BJP was deliberately trying to weaken the Telugu Desam Party and operating with a hidden agenda (by joining hands with the opposition YSR Congress), but warned that 'people are wiser than you'.Winding up a short discussion in the assembly on Monday on 'Non-implementation of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act by Government of India', the Chief Minister said "Injustice has been done (to AP). We are fighting for justice. We will not leave till justice is done. We are not bothered whether you will foist cases or exert pressure on us. People are watching."He wondered what the centre's objection was in according Special Category Status (SCS) when all political parties in the country vociferously supported it."Why are you not granting SCS? Is it not an ulterior motive?" the chief minister asked.He targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, saying that on one hand they were making political moves and on the other, meting out 'injustice' to the state by doing nothing (vis--vis the Reorganisation Act)."You have an understanding with the YSRC and took its support in the President and Vice-President elections. You deliberately wanted to weaken us. You (BJP) unilaterally broke the alliance with us (TDP) in Telangana for no reason," Mr Chandrababu said, referring to Amit Shah.The Chief Minister said Modi never once called a meeting of the two Chief Ministers in the last four years to sort out contentious issues, if any, between the two states."Has he convened even one meeting with the two CMs to sort out bifurcation-related issues like division of Schedules IX and X institutions? On the contrary, he (PM) tried to create a rift between us (CMs).It is irresponsible behaviour," he

alleged.Rather, the centre had only tried to control the states, he added.Referring to the provision in the Reorganisation Act on increasing the number of seats in the two Assemblies, Naidu lamented that the Centre did not have the heart to fulfil it."The Act provided for increasing the number of Assembly seats from 119 to 154 in Telangana and 175 to 225 in AP. That was intended to ensure stability, but the Centre did not have the heart to do it," he said.Maintaining that he had taken the 'right turn' and not a 'U-turn' as alleged by the Prime Minister on the special category status issue, Chandrababu said they had fought for it in Parliament, the Assembly and in Delhi.

Given that Vangaveeti belongs to Kapu community, the same community of Pawan, political analysts say that this would make it easy for Vangaveeti Radha's entry into the party as well.
