Brave YSR does not care anyone! - Great Andhra Editor licking YSR again

Recently Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy created ripples in the Congress circles by his open T-talk. His views expressed before a Telugu newspaper, which belongs to "those two" newspapers, were reportedly quoted out of context. The officials in the chief minister's office, who had arranged the interview were shocked. They were thinking that Rajasekhar Reddy would pull them up for fixing the interview or for their bad press management techniques.
The entire Telangana Congress leadership was up in arms against Rajasekhar Reddy. This has further put these officials to mental agony and fear of serious
repurcussions from the chief minister.

So before Rajasekhar Reddy could burst out himself, these officials decided to meet him and explain their position. And when the CMO senior officials began saying their views, a brave Rajasekhar Reddy stopped them. He reportedly told them not to get panicky and take everything in their stride. The bold reaction by the chief minister brought a sigh of relief to his senior officials.

And what happened to the loud-mouthed leaders in the Congress from the region? They just bowed themselves before the bravery of the "Kadapa Tiger". For the
time being the T-talk is not going to dominate the Congress discussions.


If YSR is really that brave, then why did he arrange a press conference the very next day and started explaning again and again that he not against Telengana.Is he afraid of Telengana leaders or did he realize that he couldn't control his party leaders anymore! And the most important thing to remember in this whole episode is our great andhra editor found that YSR is brave, but in reality YSR screwed up the things further more by talking about Telengana against his own wishes.

Real Fact: AP Congress in turmoil

HYDERABAD, Jan. 23: The political storm in ruling Congress in Andhra Pradesh over Telangana issue intensified today with some ministers demanding apology from AICC secretary and MP Mr Madhu Yashki Goud for his outburst against the chief minister, YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Two ministers from Telangana region ~ Mohammed Ali Shabbir and T Jeevan Reddy -- sharply attacked Goud who had yesterday accused the Chief Minister of scuttling the creation of a separate Telangana state. They demanded that the MP from Nizamabad withdraw his remarks and apologize. The fresh bout of war of words was triggered by the Chief Minister's interview to a Telugu daily in which he ruled out formation of Telangana before 2009 elections.

YSR ate his own words on Telangana and lands in trobule

People who were following the andhra news for the last couple days might have noticed the statements made my YSR and that made him land in a lot of trouble. As you all know by this time Andhra Jyothi is trying to reach eenadu in terms of circulation and trying to sensationalize the news even not that important.The other day, YSR made some comments about Telangana after asking his party members not to speak of telangana couple of days ago. Isn't that a double standard of him to ask someone not to speak about Telangana and speak about it within a span of two days. As AJ was looking for a hot news from our CM, it became the headlines the next days.

What followed after the news began public is known to everyone now.

STAR ANDHRA Rumour - Madhu Yashki takes an upper hand over YSR in Telangana

The people of Telangana are discussing about the war of words going on between Madhu Yashki and YSR & Congress leaders. Everybody knows that Yaskhi is an educated gentleman and returned from USA to content the elections and won with a huge majority. But he is turning arrogant and criticizing the party after becoming a member of CWC working committe.

As per the insider news, he is dead against United Andhra as he feels that Telangana is not getting its share of resources and talked to KCR recently to discuss about the strategy to bring pressue on the central leadership. After the meeting he decided to go with full force against YSR and anyone else who opposes Telagana as there is a strong sentiment among the people of Telangana and he became a hero in the eyes of them overnight. Even if Telangana is not achieved and loses in the next election, he can always go back to US as he has green card and continue his practice as a lawyer.

One more gimick to make users read this baseless analysis - Devendar, Harikrishna outshine Babu

Former ministers T Devendar Goud and Nandamuri Harikrishna on Wednesday outshine Telugu Desam president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu at the party's prestigious BC Garjana held in the historic city of Warangal. There was a huge applaud and cheers when Harikrishna and Devendar Goud stood up to speak. The crowd comprising representatives of 94 BC castes and groups kept on cheering these two leaders all through their address. But this spontaneous response was lacking when Chandrababu Naidu addressed them. Half of the ground was empty and people started leaving the venue even as Chandrababu Naidu started his address. Moreover, posters and cutouts of Devendar Goud and Kadiam Srihari were put up everywhere. Those of Chandrababu Naidu were simply interspersed in between.
Devendar Goud has succeeded in playing the Telangana and BC card while Harikrishna basked in the glory of his late father Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, who founded the Telugu Desam 26 years ago.
The BC garjana has proved that Chandrababu Naidu's popularity is more dependent on the BC leaders in the Telugu Desam than on his individual charisma.

One more dumb analysis by GA - Ticker: Ramoji serving the Telangana cause!

Media baron Ch Ramoji Rao is a strong supporter of united Andhra Pradesh. He is against the division of the State into Telangana and coastal Andhra. He is for the unity and integrity of the Telugu-speaking people. The Telugu Desam leadership has always been inspired by Ramoji Rao's policy on united Andhra Pradesh.
But of late, the media baron is unwittingly serving the Telangana cause. Since the newspaper and the TV channels he own have been accused of being "partisan" by none other than Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy, the media baron is going harsh against the ruling Congress. His newspaper and TV channels have been highlighting even a small development in the Congress over the issue of separate Telangana.
The modus operandi has been quite simple. Just sent a reporter to a senior or disgruntled Telangana leader in the Congress. Pose him a few controversial questions and highlight his answers. Otherwise when would leaders like V Purushotham Reddy get page 1 coverage in a leading Telugu daily. Even BJP leader Bandaru Dattatreya is getting good coverage if he speaks on the Telangana issue. Whatever happens on the Telangana front is getting highlighted. This is nothing but indirectly supporting the cause of Telangana though the real intentions may be to embarrass someone.
The Telangana episode in the Telugu Desam involving senior leader T Devendar Goud was also highlighted and published in front page. But the issue soon died down or was sought to be given a slow burial. In the case of the Congress, a non-issue is being projected as a major issue. And in the process supporting the cause of Telangana.

One more baseless Analysis - "Native" Goud to outshine "outsider" Babu

It's going to be an acid test for senior Telugu Desam leader T Devendar Goud, who has recently raised a banner of revolt, though silently. He has been made the incharge of the party's mega rally, BC Garjana, to be held in Warangal on Wednesday. Devendar Goud has successfully made all the arrangements. All the Telangana leaders in the Telugu Desam have supported Devendar Goud wholeheartedly. This is because Devendar Goud is a "native" leader. They want to show that Devendar Goud is second to none in the Telugu Desam, not even party chief N Chandrababu Naidu. They have now started considering him as an "outsider", as he hails from Rayalaseema.
One could expect more cheers and whistles while Devendar Goud speaks at the Warangal BC Garjana. Moreover, Devendar Goud is a BC leader while Chandrababu Naidu belongs to the financially strong Kamma community.
According to inside sources, Devendar Goud has mobilised a large number of his supporters for the BC Garjana. The Warangal meeting will make or mar the political ambitions of Devendar Goud. If the meeting turns out to be successful, he will take all the credit, not only in the Telugu Desam but also outside. In case film actor Chiranjeevi comes out with a political party, Devendar Goud will have a better bargaining power with the mega star. In both the ways Devendar Goud will stand to benefit at the cost of his party chief Chandrababu Naidu.
Moreover, the Telangana leaders in the Telugu Desam are also not leaving any stone unturned to make the BC Garjana a memorable event so that their leader Devendar Goud could have a better bargaining capacity at the political level.
