CM Kiran Joins Hands With PCC Chief Botsa

With opposition leader Naidu raising his vociferous statements against Botsa hard, none other than his rival has come to rescue. CM Kiran Kumar took his turn today to knock the anti-Kiran and anti-Botsa statements.

Kiran states that opposition leaders are losing cool as they are not able to make people change their minds about the goodwill they are having on congress. 'With no other reason to attack the government, they are publicizing that there is an internal rift in Congress party and leadership change is inevitable', says Kiran. He asked those anti-forces working against him and Botsa to come up with proofs if they want a stringent answer from them.

Observers are saying that Delhi bosses have given the necessary oxygen for Kiran to counter attack all the opposition in state. If Kiran and Botsa really merged the differences between them, one can expect them to start attacking their anti-groups in the party, first, say analysts.

Chandrababu Is Blackmailing Government Officials

Vizianagaram has become a battle field from today morning and the war between Telugudesam and Congress is turning more personal with leaders criticizing in the most possible hurting way.

'CM has stated earlier in assembly that he will take action against all the persons involved in Liquor scam and changed his mind after a settlement took place in Delhi', Chandrababu accused. He says that Congress leaders are sharing the state in phase wise to loot people off wealth. PCC Chief Botsa has come down heavily on these comments of Naidu. 'He is dreaming again for CM seat. People will not believe in his gimmicks as he is the god father of corruption.

This opposition leader is a curse to people and state', Botsa fumed. He says that Naidu is blackmailing government officials with his ex-CM arrogance and not co-operating with Police to prevail chaos situation in the district. Another Congress leader accused, 'It is Chandrababu who has lifted prohibition in state. It's really funny to see him talking about liquor deeds now'. That's all for now, about Vizianagaram politics!

Botsa comes up with cunning strategy

PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana has comes up with a new strategy to prove that his name was unnecessarily dragged into the liquor mafia. He is likely to meet chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy soon to appeal for the cancellation of all the liquor licences owned by white ration card holders in the state.

During the investigation, the ACB Officials found that the majority of the liquor licences in the state are in the name of white card holders, who comes under the below-poverty line. Politicians have used the poor people as their benamis to get the grip on the liquor trade. It may be recalled that Botsa has written a letter to CM Kiran Kumar Reddy demanding the cancellation of the ration cards of the people who are having liquor licences, after his name surfaced during the ACB raids on liquor syndicates all over the state. However, this move by the PCC Chief backfired as TDP alleged that Congress leaders were trying to make the below-poverty line people scapegoats by cancelling their ration cards.

Botsa is well aware of the fact that government is not in a position to cancel the liquor licenses as it will affect the revenue. So, he played this card to mount pressure on CM Kiran and also to counter the allegations from his rivals. In fact, within two months all the liquor trade licences are going to expire. So, even if the government dares to cancel the licenses the loss for Botsa will be minimal.

ACB Decides To Nail Botsa & Mopidevi

ACB DG made it clear that they will pull the persons behind the 'benamis' of Liquor Syndicate Scam sending shivers down PCC Chief and Excise Minister. With the support of high court, ACB may nail down all ministers and MLAs involved in it.

ACB today revealed its report to the media about the number of illegally acquired liquor shop licenses in six districts including Botsa's Vijainagaram and Srikakulam. Their investigation has revealed that half of the license holders are white ration card holders. 'Our sole aim is to catch the big-wigs behind these small fish. We are requesting these benamis to cope with us in investigation', said ACB DG Bhupati Babu. Insiders from ACB are saying that they already got key evidences against Botsa and Mopidevi and will soon submit them in court before taking necessary action.

Irrespective of the pressures created by some politicians, ACB took this as a prestigious issue after they were irritated by the transfer of ACS SIT chief Srinivasa Reddy it seems. If MLAs and Ministers are dragged into issue, State Congress has to tumble in the upcoming by-elections, say observers.

Had YSR Not Done Sonia 'Paada Pooja'?

With no other weapons in hand to attack Congress and TDP leaders as CBI filed its charge sheet in Jagan's case, YSR Congress leaders changed their route. They are directly hitting at Kiran that he does Sonia's 'Paada Pooja' to bag CM seat. Had YSR not done that to stay in power for the second time?

Congress leaders are countering YSR Congress leader Ambati that YSR has done lot of acts to satisfy high command, especially Sonia Gandhi madam to retain that CM seat for the second time in 2009. 'YSR used to make every move only with the permission of Sonia. Every welfare scheme and govt's policy had Sonia's approval except those faulty GOs', stated a Congress leader.

Earlier Ambati quipped that Botsa and Kiran are pawns in the hands of Sonia Gandhi and cannot take a decision individually in favor of the welfare of people. On the other hand, Telugudesam leaders are saying that all the Congress leaders are jokers in the hands of their high-command and the whole country will develop if at all the ruling goes out of Sonia's hands.

Kiran Not Stopping Attacks On Botsa

Even after high-command doing a solid brain wash to Chief Minister Kiran Kumar, the splits developed are not gluing together. Attacks are becoming quite public these days, with Kiran getting more opportunities than others.

Government's 'Praja Padham' program intended for helping the poor and needy has become Kiran's platform to kick his rivals. Though he showered lot of offerings for backward communities, he concentrated a lot on attacking rivals carefully. 'While outsiders are trying to bifurcate state, insiders are trying harder to bifurcate Congress party', fumed Kiran indirectly venting his anger on Botsa and Deputy CM. These talks of Kiran show that the splits in the party in the name of Botsa, Deputy CM, Jana Reddy and K Keshava Rao are still alive.

Sources say that seniors are trying to trigger Delhi leaders for CM's indirect attack on Botsa gang. Whatever it is, 'Praja patham' became an election meeting rather finding the problems of people and solving them!

Kiran And Botsa's Ouster After By-Polls

Chief minister Kiran Kumar and PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana are going to be ousted from their posts once the by-polls are over, says Congress leaders. The results of the polls will have a huge impact on this decision, it seems.

According to Congress senior leaders, high command is completely upset with the way Kiran and Botsa are functioning in the state. Though both these leaders are handpicked by Sonia Gandhi herself, they are not working as a team and are aiming missiles at each other. Seniors who are against the candidature of Kiran as CM are moving pawns fast in Delhi. The list includes, Deputy CM Damodara Rajanarasimha, DL Ravindra Reddy, Jana Reddy, Chittoor MLA P Ramachandra Reddy and veteran leaders like D Srinivas and KK.

Interestingly, V Hanumantha Rao, a strong critic of YSR is leading the meetings in Delhi with
Rahul Gandhi regarding by-polls and power shuffle, says a source. Anyways, if Congress scores decent seats in the coming by-polls scheduled for 18 constituencies, CM Kiran and Botsa may walk in the same posts with heads lifted.

ACB Cop Srinvasa Reddy Walks Out

Despite of the hue and cry of opposition parties, Government got its order obeyed by the tough cop of ACB. Srinivasa Reddy finally walked out to this new post as an IG of Coast Guard.

Srinivasa Reddy, the head of Special Investigation Team probing into Liquor Syndicate Scam was issued transferred orders a couple of days back. However, he hasn't taken the orders until he is given a charge-memo today. ACB director Bhupati Babu is also against this transfer like all other politicians of the state.

Even the Chief Secretary of state too declined the retention of this honest officer who is about to expose the presence of a top Congress politician in Liquor scam. With nothing to do, Srinivasa Reddy finally walked out and surprisingly stated that there is no political pressure behind his move. This is the end of an honest officer who wanted to expose the real culprits. When will our politicians change?

Why Is Sonia Avoiding AP's Trimurthulu?

The Congress chief has met ex PCC Chief, a rival MLA and other group of agitators, but avoided confrontation with 'Trimurthulu', CM Kiran, Deputy CM Damodara Rajanarasimha and Botsa. What's the reason madam?

Ex PCC Chief and arch rival of Botsa, D Srinivas can go and meet Sonia. Anti CM campaigner Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy can go and shake a hand with her. Agitating jewelers from the state in connection with bloated gold prices can get the appointment of Madam. But, our state's Chief Minister and Pradesh Congress Committee president cannot get a glimpse of her face. Insiders are saying that Sonia is angry with both of them as they are helping opposition indirectly.

With the streak of taking revenge on Botsa, CM is said to be using his Liquor deals and that too exposing them through 'Eenadu' paper. We all know whom that paper supports. Coming to Deputy CM Rajanarasimha's case, CM is not allowing him to take any work according to his choice. Say it establishing information centres or decisions about scams, CM is iron handedly suppressing his deputy, say sources. But all these internal conflicts are helping opposition to progress faster in state politics. Sonia is said to be angered with these moves of Kiran and hence avoiding all of them to teach a lesson with her silence.

TRP Raisers: CM Kiran, Botsa, Naidu, Jagan

Like what TV serials and game shows are for entertainment channels, these four leaders are for News Channels of Andhra Pradesh. They are mere TRP Raisers, says a report.

A survey conducted by a noted broadcasting analytics company revealed that Chief Minister Kiran Kumar and PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana are the top TRP generators. Following them are Jagan and Chandrababu Naidu. Say it a live news covering their speech or a mockery program with their cartoons or a discussion program about their future steps, the respective channels are commanding decent TRPs.

Kiran and Botsa are always food for ABN Channel, while NTV backs Chandrababu's work a lot and Sakshi needs no explanation. The survey reveals that these four are effective speakers with peculiar accent and diction in their language and satirical in terms of content. People like Shankar Rao, KK, Jana Reddy and even KCR shine here and there but never raked TRP's like those big four. But politicians are not for TRP generation, they are for forming policies in the welfare of state!

Botsa Started Harassing CM With 'Coal Scam'

Though their Delhi meet with Azad was aimed at settling the scores, the PCC Chief is taking other routes to give a tit-for-tat to Chief Minister. As he says that CM is forcing his name into Liquor Scam, now he is forcing CM's name into something else!

Thirst for power is making our state congress leaders take different routes each day. PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana is now alleging that CM Kiran has involved in a 'Coal Scam' as he is the in-charge of power portfolio. Regarding the same, Botsa reported to Delhi babus in which he mentioned that CM has incurred 325 crores loss to government by purchasing coal at a higher rate for AP Genco.

While close aides of CM are terming these allegations as baseless, Botsa team has submitted complete statistics and economics of it to high-command. Analysts are saying that Botsa is moving pawns to counter attack CM Kiran as he tried to link his name in Liquor Syndicate scam. Let us see how Congress top brass reacts about this!

Botsa Backs YSR and Knocks Jagan

Once again PCC chief started giving a coloring that there are no clashes inside Congress party and all those are creations of media. Unlike earlier, he however changed his strategy about Jagan.

'We have met Azad only to discuss about future strategies of the party as by-polls are approaching', stated Botsa, denying that they are in Delhi to settle disputes among them. He felt that Jagan should prove his innocence even for the allegations that popped against his father YSR. 'As a head of YSR party he should stand for the allegations against YSR', said Botsa. However, he stated that nothing sort of corruption happened in YSR's government though YS Jagan is a corrupt man.

Looks like Botsa is changing words to use the image of YSR as a positive weapon for their party. Earlier he used to say that CBI and court will decide if YSR is a corrupt man or not. While the PCC chief is taking pretty time to knock Jagan, he claimed innocence when asked about the transfer of ACB SIT officer Srinivasa Reddy, who is investigation Liquor Scam. For you information, this is what they call politics!
