he success stories of ‘Magadheera’ have become a common feature in news everyday but then some achievements of this film have been one of its kind. Now, the film has added another feather onto its cap and here is the reason why.

As per the latest reports, ‘Magadheera’ has been running strongly not just in one or two but a total of 110 theaters. Now, the best part is, all these theatres belong only in the Naizam area. Not only that, the collections are said to be going solid across all theatres.

Sources reveal that the film has cast a spell over the Naizam audience and there are those who have been coming for repeated shows.

High Command's 3 Options For YS Jagan!

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:47 AM

AP Congress is spoiling the situation by making noise with regard to YS Jagan. They are going over emotional and losing the balance. On a whole they are disturbing the idea of seeing Jagan as CM. They have made noise when DS was speaking in Santapa Sabha of YSR. They are making huge commotion by carrying the banners and photo cards of YS Jagan shouting ‘Jagan CM…Jagan CM’. This would certainly disturb the whole situation. Even High Command wouldn’t surrender for such force. Things should be kept in right place by Congress members. If they are so desirous of Jagan, why can’t they meet and elect him as CLP leader. They are with in their right to do so. Why they are not doing? That is because, they belong to a national party, and it has a high command. Any national party, worth the salt will not yield to emotional blackmail, however virtue of the cause may be. One is at loss to understand why these congress people ignore this simple logic.

Whenever Dr. YSR tried to influence the high command through his followers, he failed. Then he turned to the people and created a situation where the high command has no option except selecting him as CLP leader.

Even for Jagan, that is the only route. He should earn that right via people and not followers of his father. He should consolidate his base among people as Mr.Jagan and not as YSR's son. It is sure, Jagan will not be chosen to the CM's chair if the chorus for him continues. Hope better wisdom will prevail on his sycophantic followers.

Then the High Command may think in these lines and come out with 3 options.

“Jagan is very young and he needs some direct experience before enthroning CM chair. Making him CM is very easy. We too like to do that. But he may face trouble in 2014 election if he shows his inexperience in these few years. We can think of three options:

  • Making Jagan the Deputy CM and continuing Rosiah as CM till 2014 elections to make things run smooth
  • Giving a powerful position for Jagan in Central Ministry and making YSR’s brother Vinekananada Reddy as Minister in AP
  • Making Jagan the PCC President to run the show with Rosiah as CM in front end

Members may see any of the above three options before them. Even though they quote Rajiv Gandhi’s name, the answer is negative. Rajiv Gandhi became PM as soon as the death of Indira Gandhi. But he failed in subsequent elections.



YSR’s pilot was in a disturbed state of mind

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 11:47 AM

HYDERABAD: He took off despite bad weather, veered 18 km off the flight path and made no effort to steer the chopper back to safety, notwithstanding heavy rain and poor visibility. What was on Group Captain Sunil Kumar Bhatia’s mind when he was flying the illfated Bell-430 helicopter that eventually crashed killing all five onboard including Rajasekhara Reddy? Though some of his colleagues say that Bhatia, with 25 years of flying experience, is not the one to make such mistakes, happenings within the AP Aviation Corporation (APAC) indicate that Bhatia was in a disturbed state of mind. He was allegedly humiliated by some officials after he tried to expose ‘‘certain corrupt activities’’ in the APAC.

The Crime Investigation Department (CID), which has taken up the probe into the crash, will be investigating this very aspect, which now appears to be the key element in the incident. VSK Kaumudi, IG-CID, will head the probe. Top sources disclosed to Express that Bhatia had personally handed over two representations to a senior IAS officer on the alleged corruption in the APAC.

In his representations, a copy of which is also said to have been sent to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Bhatia stated that unqualified and incompetent pilots were being inducted into the APAC, particularly those performing VIP duties. He was also said to have alleged that money was paid to officials for renewing contracts and that kickbacks were involved in purchase of spare parts and maintenance of choppers. As per norms, the State Government awards contracts to some private firms that provide pilots.

However, it is not clear whether 47-year-old Bhatia mentioned names in his representations.

Having submitted his representations, Bhatia was expecting an enquiry from the Government side but the matter reached senior officials of the APAC and he was issued two memos.

He was asked to explain why he made a direct representation to the Government and in what authority. To one memo, Bhatia replied. Thereafter, Bhatia was allegedly harassed on one pretext or the other. ‘‘Surpassing Bhatia, some junior pilots were given his responsibilities just to humiliate him. He was disturbed and tense and at one time, he said he wanted to return to the Indian Air Force, h i s parent organisat i o n , ’ ’ sources said.

On an earlier occasion, Bhatia, a 1984 batch officer of the IAF and on deputation to the APAC for the last three years, voiced his resentment before some officials over the alleged kickbacks received in the purchase of the Augusta Westland chopper. Subsequently, his name was cancelled from the list of pilots and co-pilots who were to train in Italy to fly the Augusta Westland.

Augusta Westland was purchased for Rs 58 crore and YSR was to fly on it on Wednesday.

But as it was under repair, the Chief Minister was forced to use the Bell-430.

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On Saturday, September 5, 2009 at 10:58 AM

NEW DELHI: Union Minister D Purandeswari on Saturday appeared to be not ruling herself out of the race for Andhra Pradesh Chief Ministership.
Purandeshwari, daughter of the late N T Ramarao, the first non-Congress Chief Minister of the state, merely remarked "everything depends on the high command" when asked whether she was in the race."The high command is competent enough to take a decision," she said initially when asked about who could be the next chief minister.Purandeswari's remarks were significant as they came amid the stepped up campaign by supporters of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy for making him the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to take the place of his father.
