Yuvagarjana is to mobilize votes

It quickly became clear that the Yuva Gar-jana, the Telugu Desam’s public meeting near here on Wednesday, was intended to polarise castes in the caste-sensitive coastal region. The TD’s support has eroded especially among the Kapus after the advent of Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam. The TD is now attempting to bring other castes together under the leadership of Kammas, a dominant caste in the TD. The response to Wednesday’s meeting and unity among Kamma leaders in Krishna and Guntur districts said it all. “We are working with the aim that we should not lose our vote base at any cost,” said a senior TD leader. The TD is also worried about the exodus of mino-rities towards the Congress. On Wednesday, the party invited Ms Shamshad Begum, the mother of Ayesha Meera who was raped and murdered at Vijayawada last year, to speak at the meeting. In a bid to clear doubts about the caste domination in the TD, Balakrishna, the main attraction at the Yuva Garjana, said he would be a “Brahmin, Vysya, Kshatriya, Reddy, Kamma, Kapu, BC and minority” for the people. He said that he was for the party president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, to become the Chief Minister if the TD won the election. DC

C B N hogs limelight at N B K’s show

GUNTUR: Chandrababu Naidu has once again proved that he has full command over the TDP affairs and there are no immediate threats to his leadership from the Nandamuri family. He led the Yuvagarjana meeting here on Wednesday in his own `indomitable style’ and no one questioned it – even NTR’s sons Balaiah and Harikrishna who sat along with him on the dais. Though it has been expected that Balaiah would take the lead and hog the limelight at Yuvagarjana, it did not happen. In fact, he was made to wait till the party chief allowed him to speak. Apparently, in a deliberate attempt, Balaiah was made to sit for nearly one and a half hours after his entry on to the dais where Naidu allowed all and sundry to address the gathering. “The list was more long. It has been cut short when people started roaring for Balaiah’s address,” admitted a TDP leader. Ravichandra Yadav, Pratibha Bharathi, Narsi Reddy, Tilak, Nagam, K E Krishna Murthy, Roja, Vem Narender Reddy and Yerrannaidu spoke ahead of Balaiah. Though all of them were allowed to speak for just two to three minutes, Naidu consumed more time in between to control the jostling masses. Curiously, Balaiah calmly sat on the dais for most part of the time even as Naidu controlled the nerves of the crowds. He did not try to intervene at any point. At times, Harikrishna tried to pacify the crowds along with Naidu. Balaiah, who found time to walk around the dais, never tried to be the pilot and was in his cool self even when all the party leaders who spoke ahead of him took the name of party chief Naidu first and then only his. Women’s wing chief Roja had even declared that “Balaiah babu has arrived only to extend his support to Naidu” and ended her speech with a `Zindabad to Naidu’ alone. Courtesy-TOI

Purandareshwari advises to be careful with C B N

In her highly emotional letter to her brothers, the Union minister of state, Ms Daggubati Purandareswari, recalled that in 1995, Mr Naidu took the help of Harikrishna to topple N.T. Rama Rao and then sidelined him. Mr Naidu has lately rehabilitated Harikrishna only to gain power, she said. “When NTR declared that Balakrishna was his political heir, Mr Naidu compelled him to withdraw the announcement,” Ms Purandareswari said. She wondered how Mr Naidu who used to say he was against nepotism was now going out of his way to persuade NTR’s sons to support him. “Mr Naidu who never respects relatives is craving for NTR’s family support only for power. “He roped in Balakrishna in order to persuade Taraka Ratna, who preferred his uncle as Chief Minister to Mr Naidu,” Ms Purandareswari said. Mr Naidu needed Balakrishna to persuade Junior NTR to support him, Ms Purandareswari wrote. “Power hungry Naidu is once again using all tricks to achieve his aim through NTR’s sons.” Ms Purandareswari reminded her brothers that she had joined the Congress only with their blessings. She asked her brothers, “I can’t bear to see the injustice done to our father. I have seen his anguish very closely,” she wrote. “The legendary personality who never yielded to anybody suffered during his last days due to the wrong doings of Mr Naidu.” “Those painful memories linger in my mind. I appeal to you to recall our father’s agony and act in accordance as his heirs.”DC
