After 35 Years, Babu Steps In!

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister-designate and TDLP Leader Nara Chandra Babu Naidu has recalled his College Days during his election as TDLP leader on Wednesday at Senate Hall in Sri Venkateswara University. Reminiscing the good old days, Babu said that he still remember the days at College while he was pursuing his MA, Economics in 1972. He said he forayed into politics in 1978 while doing Research Scholorship after MA at SVU.

Chandra Babu recalled that he used to spend a lot of time at Cycle Shed in University and roam around the campus on his bike by making noise without silencer. Babu said that he hailed from a typical middle-class family. He could not have studied if there was no Venkateswara University as he could not have afford education at Chennai then. He gave credit for Lord Venkateswara for his education, political career.

Murali Mohan set for bigger role?

According to highly reliable sources in TDP, actor-turned-politician Murali Mohan, who won as Rajahmundry MP in recent Lok Sabha polls, is all set for bigger role in Narendra Modi's government. Sources confine that Murali Mohan would be given a Central Ministry in Modi's cabinet. Meanwhile, senior most TDP leader Ashok Gajapathi Raju is in race for Cabinet berth in Modi's cabinet.

Murali Mohan recently met Narendra Modi along with TDP supremo Chandra Babu Naidu and Modi apparently given assurance to Murali Mohan on allotting helping Ministry. Murali Mohan has been a staunch TDP supporter and he lost to Congress MP Undavalli Arun Kumar in 2009 elections with a very slender majority.Looks like, good days are ahead for Murali Mohan. Unlike before, TDP is expected to play a larger role in NDA and BJP's government this time around considering the bond Modi and Babu share. Let's see how far Modi-Babu combine work for newly formed Seemandhra.

Voters will pick 25 parliamentarians and 175 state law-makers in an election that is largely a contest between two regional powerhouses -the veteran Chandrababu Naidu and Jagan Mohan Reddy, whose fledgling party derives considerable strength and popularity from the legacy of his famous father, YSR, who died in 2009 while he was chief minister.

Before I die, I want to see this happen: Pawan

Pawan Kalyan has made an emotional speech today in Anantapur. Speaking at the public gathering furious Pawan said, "Before I die, I want to see Rayalaseema as developed place. I want this to happen before I take my last breath. I knew that this won't happen if corrupt leaders like Jagan occupy the throne. This is possible only when TDP comes to power. Chandra Babu Naidu will turn Ralla Seema into Ratnala Seema again."

In his blistering attack against Jagan Mohan Reddy, Pawan said, "Even before becoming CM, Jagan has amassed crores of rupees, looted public properties and grabbed acres of land. If he becomes CM, nothing will remain for people. He may resort to physical attacks against his rivals, opponents. He will have power, money, everything to threaten common man. People will suffer more if Jagan comes to Power. Jagan has no right to be CM of Seemandhra as he himself is a total failure when it comes to safeguarding Seemandhra people residing in Hyderabad. I didn't like his party's ideology as its sole aim is to come to power and they would do anything for it."

Pawan Kalyan didn't spare late CM Rajasekhar Reddy too. "Rajasekhar Reddy was the root cause for all problems including Telangana tangle. People of Telangana felt oppressed and looted during his tenure. All the consequences and sub consequences are because of Rajasekhar Reddy, Jagan either directly or indirectly." Pawan made it clear that Telangana is formed because of Jagan's power-hunger politics. He added that Sonia has given T-state keeping it would bank on Jagan's party in Seemandhra and they had a deal and that's why Jagan came out of jail. Pawan listed out the names of TDP candidates in Anantapur and asked people to vote for them.

Overall, Pawan's point-blank speech got thunderous response from public and it is buzzed that these crowds will certainly turn into votes. Unarguably, Pawan's magic is going to work in large way in Seemandhra and likely to play spoilsport for Jagan Reddy's wicked power politics. Let's wait and watch.

Pawan to Meet Chandra Babu Today. What's Up?

Finally, D-day has come. Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan is going to meet TDP Supremo Chandra Babu Naidu in Hyderabad within few hours. Both Pawan and Babu are going to held deliberations on Narendra Modi's visit to Hyderabad Tomorrow and his public meeting in L.B Nagar Stadium the same day. Top sources in the know revealed that Pawan and Babu are going to finalize an action plan for TDP-BJP campaigning in Telangana, Seemandhra. "Both are going to discuss on various political issues, happenings in Seemandhra, Telangana. Yes, they're figuring out solutions to few internal problems within both TDP, BJP about the alliance. The main agenda of Pawan and Babu is to make Modi's meet a grand success," shared a TDP top leader. And yes, as reported earlier, Pawan Kalyan and Chandra Babu Naidu are going to share dais with Modi Tomorrow.

Ever since Pawan Kalyan floated his own outfit Jana Sena Party, there have been wide speculations about Pawan's support to TDP. Although Pawan has tight lipped about it and maintained his support to Narendra Modi's Prime Ministerial candidate, media reports were rife that Pawan is inclined towards Chandra Babu's administration in State. BJP stitching an alliance with TDP in both Seemandhra and Telangana has added fuel to those reports. Reports even surfaced that Pawan has met Babu couple of times. Yet there is no statement on it from both parties. 

With none other than two Titans Pawan Kalyan and Chandra Babu going to meet now, it garnered much significance. We have to see whether Pawan makes an open statement in support of TDP, Chandra Babu. If so, definitely, it will be big boost to TDP ahead of elections. Already, all opinion polls predicted a clear edge for TDP-BJP. However, TDP-BJP are taking this elections as prestigious. As of now, all eyes are on Pawan Kalyan-Chandra Babu Naidu's meet.

Mahesh Babu Supports TDP

Super Star Mahesh Babu has been away from the political scenes and the actor today has come out in support for his brother-in-law Jay Galla. Mahesh's father Super Star Krishna is a loyal supporter for Congress for more than three decades and it was expected that Mahesh will be supporting his brother-in-law for sure as the actor shares a very relation with him. 

Mahesh posted on twitter " I've always maintained that I'm apolitical.. still am. However, I need to break my silence to talk a little about my BIL @jaygalla who is contesting for MP from Guntur. From the time he married my sister, Padma, when I was only 13, he has been an inspiration and role model to me. 

At first, it was because of the way he took care of me and treated me. Later, I understood how he was able to develop a vision and translate it into reality with values, as can be seen in how he steered the Amara Raja Group and the Amaron Brand into what they are today. He has been recognized by media, industry bodies and his peers for his achievements. He has always talked about wanting to enter politics, and I never really understood why, given my own dislike for the field. 

He always said that the only way to create change is to improve the quality of people entering politics.. And that through politics, you can serve the maximum number of people. One of his favorite quotes, "One man can make a difference, and every man should try." I believe in him, and I believe he can make a difference. He has my support and my vote, and I hope he has yours as well. @jaygalla represents hope for the future of Guntur, Andhra Pradesh and for India." This is definitely an added advantage for the Telugu Desam Party and Chandra Babu Naidu, as they have been facing trouble from BJP and Pawan Kalyan now.
