'Decision on 'T' before August, If Congress wins By-polls'

Congress leaders are finally giving some solid statements about the on-going Telangana agitation that is shaking Andhra Pradesh politics. The firebrand Congress MP opened his mouth after long time but only to confuse Andhra voters.

Lagadapati Rajgopal went calm after his party lost in the T-area by-polls and surfaced in media today, explaining Congress' view about Telangana. 'High command will take a decision on Telangana, acceptable to 80% of people, by coming August', Lagadapati said. He added twist to it by saying that it will happen only if Congress wins all 18 seats in upcoming by-polls. 'We're the ones who can give solution to the problems created by all parties,' he said criticizing TDP and YSR-CP for not clearing their stand on T-issue.

Political observers are shocked with these words of Lagadapati, as they cannot find a link between Congress winning seats in Seemandhra (17 seats) to solve Telangana issue. Or is he giving an indirect hint that if people votes for Congress they will get a separate state soon? Then people may incline towards TDP as most people from Andhra region are opposing a separate state at the moment.

KCR Silent On State Scams With Botsa's Advice!?

Congress can do anything as long as it has power to give Telangana, seems to be the motto of Telangana Rashtra Samithi's chief KCR. While the whole opposition is blowing Congress to corner with their war of words, TRS party is still silent.

Liquor Dons, Mining Mafia, Sand Scams, Illegal asset grabbing are not at all a concern for Telangana Rasthra Samithi, it appears. Rather rising voice on just Telangana agitation, why they don't speak up about scams, questions a leader from T-region. Last seen provoking the party cadres to stall the proceedings in the assembly, KCR is not heard there after.

They say that KCR is a close associate of Botsa and co, and is silent only due to the request of our PCC chief. Though he is not concerned for a liquor scam happening somewhere in Andhra, he at least should voice his opinion for illegal land grabbing in Hyderabad city. Though TRS is saying that they will intensify agitation if Congress says nothing about Telangana by April 24, KCR's words and public appearance matters a lot.

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!

Why Only Jagan? TDP, TRS also In Race!

The main counterpart for Congress seems to be YS Jagan in the upcoming elections, as per few congress leaders. Though there are strong oppositions like TDP, TRS, BJP and Communists, the ruling party is totally focusing on Jagan's party only. What if this misfires?

Entire plan of Congress State in charge Ghulam Azad is to pull down Jagan from winning seats and getting majority in upcoming by-polls. Though Congress is clear that it cannot win all seats, they are taking steps to ensure Jagan will not win on YSR card. Azad has planned to setup a panel and special co-ordination committee to improve the image of congress at grass root level. Analysts say that Congress is completely ignoring Telugudesam and TRS which are potential threats than YSR party.

While Jagan is defending only his arrest and cases on his Dad, TDP is totally maligning the government for their scam deeds. Chandrababu's attacks are distorting the image of both Congress and YSR, which is indirectly aimed at tarnishing Jagan's so called image too. On TRS part, for them it is anyways separate state card which always clicks in Telangana. It is better for Congress to focus on controlling TDP by giving proper believable answers to Naidu, rather focusing on Jagan.
