The Congress Legislature Party is likely to meet on September 11 to take stock of the situation.

The AICC senior leader and Union Minister for Finance, Pranab Mukharjee, will be visiting Hyderabad on September 10, to meet the family members of Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy. After paying tributes to the late leader, Pranab Mukharjee, will also meet the Congress leaders.

The AICC is seriously contemplating on successor to Dr Rajasekhar Reddy. According to the party sources, the AICC is seriously considering the candidatures of Union Minister, D Purandheswari and Kadapa MP, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, for the post of the Chief Minister. The third option is to continue K Rosaiah in the post and made Jagan as the president of the APCC.

The AICC sources indicate that the party is seriously considering making Purandheswari as the next chief minister to clear the Telugu Desam decks. At the same time, taking into consideration the public demand in favour of Jagan, the AICC wants to make the Kadapa MP as the APCC president and thus satisfy the YS fans.

The AICC, the sources said, is seriously examining the two options as that would help the party win the 2014 Assembly elections. The young leadership of Jagan would keep the rank and file intact, while Purandheswari would help in continuation of the welfare programmes initiated by Dr Rajasekhar Reddy.

However, the clouds would be clear by September 11, when the CLP meets in Hyderabad.

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) women's wing president and noted south Indian actress Roja on Monday resigned to her parent party. Roja has sent her resignation through fax to the party office at 3.30 pm. She also thanked the party for supporting her for 10 long years.

She accused party leadership for its double standards in allotting party tickets in the recent assembly elections. Roja alleged that a section of party leaders were responsible for her defeat in the 2004 and 2009 assembly elections.

Though it is learnt that she is going to resign to TDP and all set to join Congress party, the sudden demise of chief minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy raised doubts about her leaving TDP. But, putting all the speculations aside she has resigned to the party.

Roja's resignation from TDP would be a setback to the main opposition as the actress is regarded as an articulate women leader. The Congress party will take her in or not is a million dollar question now.

However, Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) Mahila President Shobha Rani termed her as an ‘Iron Leg lady’ because when she joined TDP, Chandrababu Naidu was almost finished in the land mine blast planted by naxalites on the Tirupati-Alipiri highway. Even before her joining the Congress, one of the most dynamic Chief Ministers of AP YSR has lost his life in a tragic chopper crash in Kurnool district.

The re-swearing-in ceremony of Rosaiah Cabinet would have become controversial but for the timely intervention of the high command and of course, K V P Ramachandra Rao, advisor to late CM Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

In the morning, a few ministers expressed their reluctance to be sworn in, as they wanted Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to be declared the Chief Minister. “I don’t feel like being a minister without YSR. I wish Jagan takes over as the Chief Minister,” minister D K Aruna said. Others like Jupalli Krishna Rao, Konda Surekha, Ahmedulla and P Ramachandra Reddy also expressed similar opinion. This led to speculations that some of them might abstain from swearing-in.

However, the situation changed by evening. The Congress high command sent a message to all the ministers through late Rajasekhara Reddy’s advisor K V P Ramachandra Rao that they should take oath. Minutes before the swearing in ceremony, KVP held a meeting of all the ministers at his residence and told them that abstaining would send wrong signals to the party cadres and that it amounted to defying the party directive.

Vimala Raman is one of the most sought after heroines in the circuit these days. She has been making headlines even though she has been seen just once on the big screen. She is currently busy with the shooting of the new movie which has lover boy Tarun in the lead. Now, according to sources she is said to be coming up with a rather sensuous role given her enticing sex appeal.

The movie was supposed to be directed by late Raj Aditya. However, now the veteran director VN Aditya has taken over. Some part of the shooting was scheduled to be in Malaysia and not much is being revealed about it so far. Let us wait and see how Vimala will scorch the screens now.

Genelia is one of the most sought after actresses in the industry. She is also creating lot of waves in Bollywood these days. On the other hand Fanta is one of the most popular soft drink brands.

Genelia has been endorsing this ad for a long time now. In a recent interview, she spoke about why she endorses the ad. She said that Fanta is known for its enthusiasm and energy which are the qualities that people compare with her. She said that these qualities help her identify herself and be successful in the industry. The bubbly beauty would soon be seen as a teacher in her new movie ‘Katha’ in Telugu and she has also got another Bollywood venture which is a musical.

In what is being seen as one of the most interesting combinations, young rebel star Prabhas is all set to pair up with the saucy seductress Kajal Agarwal for one of his future ventures. The man to get them together is said to be none other than the successful producer Dil Raju.

He has also roped in Dasarath for the direction of the film and it is being said that this has become a crucial project for all except Kajal since they need a concrete success at the box office to get back into the race. For now, Prabhas would be arriving with ‘Ek Niranjan’ while Kajal would be arriving with ‘Arya 2’ and a few other movies.

Sources say his next venture seems to be a different movie. He will act in a flick named 'Gaali Seenu' in which he will play the role of a local goon. The movie is about how the local goon wants to become a famous don.

This flick will be directed by P Uday Bhaskar and produced by MV Krishna Prasad and Kala Ravindra. It also stars the seductive beauty Satya Krishna in an important role.

Posani is also busy with his other movies like ‘Neelaveni’ ‘Gentleman’ etc so there is going to be a Posani feast soon.

Ever since the film ‘Josh’ hit the marquee, many have been comparing it with the mega blockbuster ‘Magadheera’. Some even felt that ‘Josh’ would give a tough competition to ‘Magadheera’ in many aspects. But the result is out after its release. It has no muscle to compete or compare with Magadheera. However, Nag fans seem to think otherwise about the whole issue.

It seems they are urging that ‘Josh’ happens to be the debut film of Naga Chaitanya and so it would make more sense in comparing the film with ‘Chirutha’ which was the debut film of mega powerstar Ramcharan Teja. ‘Magadheera’ is the second one from Charan, they add.

But still, the trade pundits say that Josh has no comparison with Chirutha as well, as it hasn’t possessed required voltage to suit the targeted youth audience. Message proved as massage on the heads of many youngsters, say some.
