Two Union Cabinet berths from Telangana June 08, 2024 16:16

Two Union Cabinet berths from Telangana:- With Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony scheduled for Saturday, the BJP has begun talks to win Cabinet seats from the two Telugu states. In the last five years, there has been only one representative of the two Telugu states in the Union Cabinet, Kishan Reddy. The party leadership wants to maintain a good balance between newbies and veterans while selecting ministers from among the eight BJP MPs in the state. The story goes that Telangana will have two cabinet seats. Party general secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Kishan Reddy, who is seen as a booster of the BJP's rise in Telangana, have a good chance of getting a place in the Union Cabinet. However, according to sources, the party uses the services of one of these companies for organizational activities. Speculations suggest that Kishan Reddy could be chosen for the cabinet post given his experience as a Union minister and party leader in Telangana. Atala Rajendar, MP for Melakajgiri and a powerful leader in British Columbia, said that during the election period he was among Modi leaders and senior leaders Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Hardeep Singh Puri who praised Mr. and others. He appears to have a strong voice on provincial and political issues, and the support of the BC group is an added bonus. If Kishan Reddy enters the cabinet, the state leadership of the party will change. Since Telangana's population is 52% of BC's population, the party can elect a BC leader and another prominent personality from Telangana as chief minister. However, officials noted that Rajendhar, as party leader, did not have much influence in attracting leaders from other parties. When he was president, not a single other prominent party leader joined the BJP. These observers said Mr. Sanjay was popular across the state and could return as the party chief in the state. Other strongmen in the Union Cabinet include Mr. Aruna, who comes from Mr. A's home district. In 2019, Arvind had defeated BRS leader K Chandrashekhar Rao and K Kavitha. As far as Andhra Pradesh is concerned, the BJP's decision to choose Daggubati Purandeswari, the party's state president from Rajahmundry, seems obvious. He also served as a Union Minister in the UPA government. Another possible option is C.M. Ramesh, who was selected from Anakapalle. He served two terms as a member of the Public Accounts Committee and the Rajya Sabha.

Amaravati Capital City Project back on Track in AP June 08, 2024 13:03

Amaravati Capital City Project back on Track in AP:- After the Telugu Desam Party's landslide victory in the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections, the construction of the capital Amaravati, which was stopped by the YSRCP government, is expected to resume. As the first Chief Minister of the divided state from 2014 to 2019, Telugu Desam Party leader N Chandrababu Naidu made Amaravati the capital. The new capital must be environmentally sustainable and cover 29 villages between the cities of Vijayawada and Guntur. Naidu collected and acquired 30,000 acres of land from farmers to build the capital, Amaravati. Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the foundation stone laying ceremony on 22 October 2015 along with former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. However, Naidu's idea suffered a setback in 2019 when the TDP lost power and the YSRCP led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy won a landslide victory. Naidu's successor poured cold water on the Amaravati capital plans and floated a new tri-capital theory, which may now become a dead concept after a humiliating defeat in the 2024 elections, as Naidu is expected to take over as chief minister. Soon. The landslide victory of the DMDK, BJP and the Janasena National Democratic Alliance has breathed new life into Amaravati, which is facing a surge of activity. When Naidu announced the election manifesto in Undavalli, Andhra Pradesh on April 30, he promised to make Amaravati the state capital. Nara Lokesh, general secretary of the Telugu Desam Party, which won the Mangalagiri seat, told the media that the new government plans to make Amaravati the state's only capital on June 4. Telugu Desam Party spokesperson Jyosthna Thirunagari said the first priority of the new government will be the construction of Amaravati. Rebuilding the Emirates is our top priority and there is no doubt that we have made great progress during our tenure (2014-2019). In fact, after Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power, he ruined everything and ruined many things. Thirungari told PTI. He claimed that roads were dug during the YSRCP regime and said that the reconstruction of Amaravati should be done from scratch in some areas except the Secretariat and Assembly buildings. According to a TDP spokesperson, Amaravati was already a priority during the first TDP government in the remnant state of Andhra Pradesh and now it will witness a revival of momentum. Meanwhile, farmers of Amaravati, who were given land in the capital, are pinning new hopes for Naidu. A farmer told a local news channel: “Our slogan is: Build Amaravati, Save Amaravati. Chandrababu won and Amaravati was saved. After Babu's (Chandrababu's) victory, it became clear that the central government would also work with them." . He, however, noted that the farmers, who have been agitating for five years, are continuing their activities to recover their rent payments outstanding for three years, among other unresolved disputes. It was pointed out that despite various forms of agitation from farmers who had invested their land for the project, Mr. Reddy ignored their demands during his tenure.

Moringa is a Good Substitute For Milk June 06, 2024 15:52

Moringa is a Good Substitute For Milk:- Are you lactose intolerant and unable to consume all the nutrients found in milk and dairy products? Then do you need a nutritious milk alternative? Health coach Digvijay Singh believes the hunt should lead to moringa leaves, which he describes as a natural vitamin. The Moringa tree is also called the miracle tree because it is rich in nutrients. Moringa contains two to three times more calcium than milk. It is a great alternative for people who cannot drink milk every day. Moringa vegetables are rich in vitamins A, C and E and are also rich in minerals such as calcium, potassium and iron. Vegetables also contain more plant iron, antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids than milk. However, consuming moringa instead of milk reduces fat and protein absorption. You may need to turn to other foods to compensate. Moringa spinach is rich in fiber, but consuming too much of it can cause digestive problems. Also, not everyone can accept moringa as a milk substitute because many people don't like the taste of moringa vegetables. Moringa spinach is beneficial for people with lactose intolerance or those on a vegetarian diet. For many people who rely on plant-based foods to get the nutrients they need, this is a real treat. However, you should know that green moringa does not contain vitamin B12 or vitamin D like milk. Therefore, if you want to fully consume all the nutrients in milk, you should also consume other nutrient-rich foods along with Moringa leaves. Moringa leaves also have anti-inflammatory properties because they contain isothiocyanates. They contain niazimicin, which affects the growth of cancer cells. Inflammation is the cause of many diseases, including cancer, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and many autoimmune diseases. When you have an injury or infection, your body becomes inflamed.

Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan turn crucial in NDA Alliance June 05, 2024 20:57

Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan turn crucial in NDA Alliance:- On the very day Chandrababu Naidu made a triumphant return to power in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, the leader of the Jana Sena Party (JSP), emerged as the standout performer. Popularly known as the 'Power Star' due to his fame as Chiranjeevi's younger sibling, Pawan had often been seen as an unconventional and inconsistent politician, especially after his disappointing defeat in 2019 when he lost in two constituencies and his party secured just a single seat. However, true to his on-screen persona, Pawan persevered, and on Tuesday, he made a significant mark in the electoral arena, sweeping 21 out of 21 MLA seats and 2 out of 2 MP seats that his party had contested. The star himself won the Pithapuram seat, becoming an elected leader for the very first time. Pawan's earlier statement at a public meeting in Machilipatnam in January 2021, where he had said that "defeat is not the end, but the beginning, and there is no defeat for those who strive to move forward," may have been met with skepticism at the time, but his critics have now been proven wrong. Meanwhile, Naidu faced a jail term of around 50 days in the alleged skill development scam. In the aftermath of the recent elections, the BJP found itself short of a majority in the Lok Sabha. This presented an opportunity for the Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar of the JD-U, and the TDP's N Chandrababu Naidu – both members of the National Democratic Alliance – to emerge as potential kingmakers. While Kumar's party holds 12 seats, Naidu's TDP controls 16. Interestingly, both leaders have, at different points, left and rejoined the NDA coalition. When Naidu was part of the NDA in 2014, his party was granted one cabinet berth and a Minister of State position. However, with his 16 seats now crucial for government formation, Naidu may seek a larger role and representation within the alliance. Naidu, whose party also dominated the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections, will engage in discussions with the BJP's top leadership regarding the state's new government. The tripartite NDA alliance in Andhra Pradesh also includes actor-politician Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena, and the BJP is reportedly looking to reward him for the state victory that ousted Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP from power. The Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde has secured a significant foothold, clinching seven seats in Maharashtra. Shinde has, so far, refrained from seeking a cabinet position at the central level, despite aligning with the BJP and splitting the Shiv Sena. However, with the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections on the horizon, Shinde will likely aim to bolster his standing within the alliance, as every seat holds value in the political landscape. This historic election has never been seen before in my political career. Even people in America took the effort to come and vote, as they yearned for change. The people won't forgive anyone who acts with arrogance, and that's why we secured this overwhelming mandate. Nitish Kumar, Pawan Kalyan, and Chandrababu Naidu will attend the meeting, where top leaders from the BJP and its allies are also expected to be present. They are likely to congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is set to equal the record for the longest-serving prime minister, and discuss the details of the new government, which is expected to have a different composition and character, with a greater share for the BJP's allies. While the NDA is comfortably above the majority mark of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha, the BJP has fallen short of the magic number for the first time since 2014 and is heavily reliant on its allies for government formation. The TDP, JD(U), Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Chirag Paswan-led LJP (Ram Vilas) have won 16, 12, seven, and five seats, respectively, and will play a crucial role in the formation of the new government.

Will Pawan Kalyan continue doing Films? June 05, 2024 12:24

Will Pawan Kalyan continue doing Films?:- It is a resounding success for Pawan Kalyan and his party Janasena. The party scripted history with a winning percentage of 100. The actor-turned-politician has kept his film career away for time being though he has several commitments lined up in Telugu cinema. He has to complete the shoots of OG, Ustaad Bhagat Singh and Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Pawan Kalyan will play a crucial role in the alliance of NDA and he will have to focus more on politics for now. He may complete the current commitments for now and he will not take up new films. OG that was announced for September 27th release is pushed. Pawan for now will take a long break from films and he will focus more on politics. But he is expected to complete the shoots of the above films soon. Though he had plans to complete OG on a priority basis, the plans are now changed. With the film's release pushed to 2025, he will take a long time to get back to films. For now, Pawan will have his complete focus on AP politics.

It's a clean sweep for Pawan Kalyan's Janasena June 04, 2024 16:12

It's a clean sweep for Pawan Kalyan's Janasena:- Janasena founder and popular actor Pawan Kalyan won from Pithapuram Assembly constituency in Andhra Pradesh with a majority of 70,354. Kalyan was pitted against Bengal's Geetha Vishwanath of Jagan Mohan Reddy's Yuvajana Sramika Raithu Congress Party (YSRCP). In the 2019 elections, Pawan Kalyan lost from Bhimavaram and Gajuwaka constituencies. Janasena leads in 21 legislative constituencies and 2 parliamentary constituencies. This time, Pawan Kalyan has formed an alliance with the BJP and Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party for the Lok Sabha and Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections. As part of the seat-sharing agreement between the NDA partners, the Telugu Desam Party won 144 parliamentary and 17 parliamentary seats, while the BJP won six parliamentary and 10 parliamentary seats. Under the pact, Janasena contested in two Lok Sabha constituencies and 21 Assembly constituencies. The Pithapuram seat came into limelight after the seat went to the Jana Sena under the NDA's seat-sharing agreement and Kalyan, who belongs to the region's dominant Gate community, announced his candidature. The move forced the ruling YSRCP to field Kakinada Lok Sabha MP Vanga Geetha from the same pioneer community as its candidate. There are about 2.35 million voters in this segment, including 82,000 voters from the Kabui community, BC-79,000, SC-43,000 and others. Apart from his constituency, Janasena is leading in all the 20 other Assembly constituencies and 2 Lok Sabha constituencies. Pawan Kalyan is a Game Changer in AP politics this year and he is expected to get a prominent place to play in the state in the future. Pawan is expected to play a crucial role in the NDA alliance. Janasena followers and supporters are celebrating the success of the party and the efforts of Pawan Kalyan.

AP Politics: It is a clean sweep for TDP and Janasena June 04, 2024 11:38

AP Politics: It is a clean sweep for TDP and Janasena:- The divine plan often unfolds in unexpected ways, and the YSR Congress party is learning this lesson the hard way as they face a humiliating defeat. After their overwhelming victory in the 2019 elections, with 151 assembly seats, the YCP had lorded over the TDP for the past 5 years. However, the tables have now turned, and the TDP alliance is poised to secure 151 MLA seats, while the YCP is leading in only 23 seats, mirroring the 2019 outcome. Interestingly, the current trends suggest that the YCP's support might be as strong as that of the JanaSena party, and if things go awry for the YCP, the Pawan Kalyan-led JSP could potentially emerge with 21 MLA seats. The former Chief Minister and TDP supremo, N. Chandrababu Naidu, had vowed to return to the Assembly only as the Chief Minister, and it appears that this promise is on the verge of being fulfilled. In 2021, Naidu had become emotional in the Assembly, after the YCP leaders made derogatory remarks about his wife, leading him to pledge that he would no longer attend the legislative proceedings. After becoming the Chief Minister, Naidu expressed his emotions, holding back tears as he left the Assembly with folded hands, during a debate on women's empowerment. The initial trends in the Andhra Pradesh electoral roll strongly favor the TDP+ alliance. The surge in support for the alliance is so significant that Janasena, which secured just a single seat in 2019, is now outperforming the YCP. According to the ongoing reports, Janasena is leading in 17 seats, while YSR Congress is leading in only 16 seats, a substantial victory for the Janasena camp. Looking at the TDP+ alliance as a whole, the Kutami is leading in over 130 assembly constituencies, while the YCP is struggling to reach even 20 MLA seats. Pawan Kalyan vowed to teach Jagan Mohan Reddy a valuable lesson in the election, and he is making good on his promise by keeping his Janasena outfit larger than the incumbent YCP government. Janasena has gone from 1 to 17 seats, while YSR Congress has dropped from 151 to 16, a shocking disparity. As the election results unfold, the TDP alliance has emerged with a commanding lead across the constituencies. Andhra Pradesh's eager supporters are already poised to revel in the impending triumph, with celebrations spilling over to the UK, Australia, and the USA. A viral video from Houston, Texas, captures the TDP supporters joyfully dancing, their televisions displaying the party's decisive victory. All the NRI fans of Janasena and TDP have been celebrating with the flags through special gatherings. They are expected to turn bigger as there are several rounds left.

Supreme Court Restrains Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy From Entering Counting Station June 03, 2024 17:15

Supreme Court Restrains Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy From Entering Counting Station:- Responding to allegations about the destruction of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) at a polling station in Andhra Pradesh, the Supreme Court has taken action. The court has prohibited Macherla MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy (from the YSRCP party) from entering the counting station or its surrounding area on June 4th, 2024, when the vote counting will occur. This decision was made by a vacation bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and Sandeep Mehta, who were considering two petitions filed by TDP polling agent Namburi Seshagiri Rao. Rao alleged that Reddy and his associates had entered a polling booth in Macherla and damaged the EVMs. The petitioner expressed concerns that a similar incident could happen again on the day of the vote count. After hearing the arguments from both sides, the court accepted the assurance given by Shri Vikas Singh, the senior counsel representing the respondent (Reddy), that the respondent would not enter the counting station or its vicinity on June 4th, 2024. The court believed this undertaking was sufficient to address the petitioner's apprehensions. The case was brought before the esteemed High Court for consideration. During the proceedings, the petitioner's legal representative directed the court's attention to certain photographs, which were reportedly obtained from the Election Commission of India's web broadcast. Additionally, a video was presented for the court's review. The petitioner's counsel argued that the accused (Reddy) was undermining the system, as a sitting Member of the Legislative Assembly had gone to the polling station, destroyed the equipment, and a complaint was filed alleging that unknown individuals had committed the offense. The counsel further stated that the accused was absconding until the High Court issued an order. On the other hand, the senior advocate representing Reddy expressed doubts about the validity of the video presented in court, suggesting that it could not be definitively ascertained who was present in the footage. However, the bench provided the device containing the video to the senior advocate, and noted that there were also photographs available. Justice Kumar observed that the video had been widely circulated on social media. Nevertheless, the senior advocate maintained that the video was not officially broadcast by the Election Commission of India, and the photographs were not official. In response, Justice Kumar stated that even if the photographs were to be disregarded, the very fact that the complainant had reported that both the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) and the Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) were removed and destroyed after 8 people had stormed into the polling booth was significant. The person inquired, "My query is who barged in." "The allegations in the complaint must be accepted on their face." Referring to doubts about the video made by the petitioner, Justice Mehta opined, "This video has not been viewed on Facebook." After hearing the parties, the court recorded the affidavits of Singh and Reddy barring them from entering the counting station of Macherla constituency. He also asked the Supreme Court to decide on the pending petition, which will be registered on June 6, 2024, granting interim relief to Reddy and not affecting its earlier order. The court strongly objected to the Supreme Court's grant of interim protection to Reddy, calling it a "mockery of the system". The bench was initially inclined to uphold the Supreme Court's order when Justice Mehta said, "Let this be an example." Singh, however, told the court that no appeals were filed in other cases involving Reddy and that Reddy had given an undertaking not to enter the counting station. on the day of the count. The interim protection granted to Reddy by the Supreme Court will expire on June 5.
