Washington, May 10: As India announced plans to take the issue of "discriminatory" increase in US visa fees to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Washington assured it continued to fully support the admission of qualified Indians.
The US and India "did have a good and thorough discussion" on the visa issues in the context of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent visit to India, State department spokesperson Victoria Nuland told reporters Wednesday.
As Clinton said it publicly "Indians are the greatest beneficiaries in the world of both our L-1 visa programme and our H-1B visa programme," she said when asked about India's reported move.
"We understand that the demand is even greater. We are working through those issues. But we continue to fully support the admission of qualified Indians under these programmes," Nuland said.
Under its Emergency Border Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2010, US sharply hiked the fee for H-1B and L-1 visas used by Indian and American companies to bring qualified professionals from abroad and for intra-company transfers respectively.
Indian Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jyotiraditya M. Scindia told parliament Wednesday that New Delhi "proposes to seek consultations with the US under the Dispute Settlement Understanding of the WTO."
Asked if the visa fees hike issue was discussed during the Clinton visit, Nuland said: "No."

Investments poured into Jagan Co.s under pressure: CBI
Hyderabad, May 10: The CBI has informed the Special Court that none of the shareholders had invested their money in the companies owned by YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy voluntarily.
The CBI, on Thursday, filed its counter to the petition filed by Jagati publications challenging CBI’s decision to freeze its bank accounts. In the counter petition, the CBI has stated that both Jagan Mohan Reddy and the company’s vice-chairman Vijaya Sai Reddy had threatened NRI Madhava Chandran and made him invest Rs 39.60 crores. The agency also alleged that bribes were shown as investments.
The CBI has frozen accounts held by Jagati Publications and Indira Television in the State Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce. Challenging the CBI action, the two companies on Wednesday filed petitions pleading that the CBI action be annulled, as more than 20,000 employees would be affected. The company also said that it was spending Rs 8 crores towards salaries and Rs 25 crores for purchase of newsprint. The companies have alleged that by freezing the bank accounts, the right of livelihood of the employees was scuttled by the CBI.
Admitting the petition, the CBI court directed the agency to file its counter, which was filed on Thursday.

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is to meet Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Wednesday in connection with female foeticide cases highlighted by the TV reality show "Satyamev Jayate".
"Aamir had expressed his desire to meet the chief minister on May 9. The chief minister has agreed to meet him at his official residence at 5 p.m. today (Wednesday)," said a senior official in the chief minister's office.
Khan in his programme "Satyamev Jayate", aired Sunday, had highlighted the story of a sting operation done seven years back by two Jaipur based journalists to expose increasing female foeticide cases in four states - Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
Following the expose, the Rajasthan government had come down heavily on doctors who were involved in sex determination tests and abortions and had started a probe against them. The doctors since then have neither been promoted nor have been cleared of the charges.
Aamir had said in his show that he would appeal to the Rajasthan chief minister to get the cases against the doctors clubbed together and tried in a fast track court. He also appealed the viewers to support his signature campaign.
Gehlot Tuesday tweeted: "Satyamev Jayate is a great and extra ordinary initiative to root out female foeticide. I am eager to have a fruitful dialogue with Aamir on May 9."
Rajasthan has been in the news for increasing cases of female foeticide and female infanticide.
According to Census 2011, Rajasthan has 883 girls between the age of 0-6 for every 1,000 boys. The child sex ratio in 2001 was 909.
Alarmed over the state's skewed sex ratio, the state government recently announced steps to curb pre-natal sex determination tests at ultrasound clinics.

Hyderabad, May 8: In a surprising move, CBI has frozen the accounts of Jagati Publications, publishers of Sakshi newspaper, Indira Teligision, and Janani Infra companies owned by the YSR Congress president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday.
CBI has taken this action under section of the 102 of the C R P C as it suspects that investments into these companies came through suspicious means.
Jagan who has been away at Anantapur at the time of the decision, has said he knew all along that CBI would do this some day. Addressing an election meeting at Kanekal in Rayadurgam constituency of Anantapur district, he said freezing of accounts was stamping out democratic rights.

Hyderabad, May 9: Herbal tea shop owner on the premises of Gandhi Bhavan G Balaji has allegedly cheated some 60 gullible people and collected nearly Rs 50 lakhs by assuring them that he would procure Bhoodan land at Kuntloor village, near Nagole at a cheaper price.
Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, one of the victims, S Sudhakar, alleged that he had paid Rs 5 lakhs to Balaji as he claimed that ministers and MLAs were his friends and that he could procure them house plots at cheaper rate. But, Balaji failed to keep his promise. The victims said that they soon realized his true colors and demanded him to repay their hard-earned money. But, coolly ignored their demands and did not return their money so far. They also alleged that Balaji was continuing his illegal activities and collecting handsome sums from people. When enquired about Balaji’s credentials, Bhoodan Board chairman said that Balaji was not a member in the Board.
The victims have demanded that the State government cancel his herbal tea shops at Gandhi Bhavan and Secretariat and initiate action against him for cheating the gullible people. They also urged Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to order stringent action against Balaji and make him refund money to all the victims.
Sudhakar said as Balaji had promised to procure 100-yard plot for Rs 30,000, many people paid him money and some even lakhs for acquiring a couple of acres. He also produced a Xerox copy of a receipt dated January 7, 2009, issued by G Balaji acknowledging receipt of Rs 5 lakh from N Raghava Rao, son of N Srinivasa Rao, for getting clearance of land in S No 353 and 354 at Kukatpally village under Balanagar mandal of Ranga Reddy district.
The alleged victims Babu, Gopal, Vekataiah and Veeraiah were also present at the press meet.

Hyderabad, May 8: Although there is an information that the TRS Supremo KCR has his own choice for the Parakal by election candidature, the Warangal district Telangana Rastra Samithi is still placed in a confusion over the selection of a suitable candidate for the by polls slated on June 12.
The leaders participating in the Palle bata and Palle Nidra programmes organized in the four revenue mandals spread across the Parakal segments feel that they would be preferred by KCR for the by polls. About eight leaders have staked their claims for the Parakal seat and three of them have seriously taken part in the TRS sponsored programme by visiting almost all the four mandals of the segment.

About eight leaders have staked their claims for the Parakal seat and three of them have seriously taken part in the TRS sponsored programme by visiting almost all the four mandals of the segment.
The three leaders include Moluguri Bhikshapathi, Peddi Sudarshan Reddy and M. Sahodar Reddy respectively, while two other leaders Nagurla Venkateshwar Rao and Kanneboyina Rajaiah Yadav also staked their claims for the coveted seat. These leaders are confident that the TRS would romp home the elections with a huge margin.
The high command observers took the opinions and confidential opinions on the candidates and aspirants thoroughly but they have not come to a clear conclusion over the selection. There is a firm opinion that the leaders would submit a report requesting the TRS chief KCR to take a decision on his own to complete the formality.
Bandla Ganesh an unimpressive comedian has produced big budget films with top stars like Pawan Kalyan. Where from has he got so much money?
It is a known fact in the film industry that the PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana was the financial backbone of Ganesh.
But did Ganesh also have the backing of Bhanu Kiran, the alleged killer of Rayalaseema factionist Maddelacheruvu Suri? This is the question being discussed in the film industry now.
Film distributor Subba Rao has told the media on Saturday that Bandla Ganesh, producer of ‘Teen Maar’ has cheated him financially and when he has questioned him, he had threatened him in the name of Botsa.
The distributor said that he has given Rs. 2.25 cr. for the overseas rights of ‘Teen Maar’ and Ganesh has cheated him by not giving prints on time. When he has questioned him, Ganesh has threatened him in the name of Botsa and also said that he had the backing of rowdies, Subbarao has alleged. He said he had lost Rs. 48 lakhs because he could not screen the premier show. He has also demanded a probe by the CID into how Ganesh was investing crores of rupees in film production.
Now it is being discussed in the film industry if Ganesh had links with Bhanu and if that was true if Botsa also has some kind of relationship with the gangster.

Now it is being discussed in the film industry if Ganesh had links with Bhanu and if that was true if Botsa also has some kind of relationship with the gangster.
You might have understood by now regarding what we are talking about. If the whole episode of Bhanu can be used against YSR Congress, Bandla Ganesh against Congress, then who is going to play spoilsport for Telugudesam.
As don Bhanu is revealing many things related to his association with Mangali Krishna, a close aide of YS Jagan, opposition is busy equating his misdeeds with YSR Congress. Likewise, based on a complaint lodged by an overseas distributor, some people are trying to relate produce Ganesh Babu's money as PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana's benami investment.
These two persons have become food for political parties who are trying to corner YSR Congress and Congress. Political circles are now saying that alleged sex scandal queen Tara Chowdary has links with a young MLA from Telugudesam party. If they could pull out a little clue at least against this politician, it is sure that TDP will dig its own grave.

Shocking! Shocking! Shocking! The other day we have witnessed veteran director Dasari Narayanarao singing the tunes of Megastar. Now, arch rivals of Chiru, Jeevitha-Rajasekhar too joined under his umbrella.
After their much hyped entry into BJP bombed like anything, Jeevitha-Rajasekhar once again knocked the doors of Congress party. 'We're hurt all these days because Congress leaders haven't solved our differences with Chiru, though he has became the face of party now', says Rajasekhar. However Rajasekhar never cleared who has resolved their differences, but nodded his head to join hands with Chiru if they are ordered to do so.
State's political circles are shocked with the moves of Jeevitha and Rajasekhar and are busy finding reasons behind their joining hands with Chiru. Observers are saying that Rajasekhar is trying for an MP ticket in Congress for 2014 polls and hence this move.

The much awaited programme Satyamev Jayate has started on a grand note to an ode to motherhood. Satyamev Jayate is a reality show that throws focus on lives of the people, their pains, problems, hurdles and how bravely they fought them.
Started in multiple languages, Satyamev Jayate was successful in dragging lakhs of people to television screens sharp at 11 AM on Sunday.
The first episode of Satyamev Jayate began with Aamir Khan briefing the greatness of mother. And the episode was all about female foeticide. Aamir Khan told the fellow countrymen that ‘ a man is responsible for a birth of female and a woman has no role in it.’ Before Aamir Khan went into the statistics and how this female infanticide began in India, he spoke to three mothers who faced countless series of problems for carrying female foetuses.
Aamisha, an average mother from Gujarat was the first woman who came to the reality show—Satyamev Jayate to share her feelings of motherhood with Aamir Khan. Married in December 2000, Amisha had to undergo abortions six times within eight years. She said she was taken to a hospital, given an injection and by the time she opened her eyes..she lost her baby in the stomach. She said doctors talk in code language to tell the family on sex determination. If it was a boy they would say Jai Shree Krishna and Jai Mata Di if a girl. Last time when she was conceived, she wanted to save the child, and went to her parent’s home where she gave birth to a baby girl. Her in laws later took her and her daughter to home. She was ill-treated and kicked out of home and she was not given her daughter. She at last took the help of a lawyer to get her daughter and now the case is in the court.
The second mother who came to the show was Parveen Khan from Madhya Pradesh who was married in 1994. She was ill-treated for giving birth to two girls. She was even attacked brutally one day by her husband. With the help of doctors, she was saved. She said she now completed her B.A, got a good job and even taking care of her family.
The show then aired a few bytes of some people who spoke on reasons behind female foeticide. Many were of the opinion that illiterate and rural people are indulging in crimes. Negating these opinions, the show introduced Dr. Mitu Khurana who was also a victim of female foeticide. Mitu faced n number of problems for denying ultra sound test when she was conceived. She gave birth to twin baby girls. Dr. Mitu Khurana approached the court over the bad treatment she received. The case is now in the court.
Aamir Khan later introduced a researcher, Rambabu. He has said that even urban people, educated ones indulge in female foeticides. Even chartered accountant and IAS officers also resort to such crimes.
Later who spoke on this issue was Dr. Sailaja who had been practicing in a small village in Rajasthan. She said adivasis never showed any discrimination between boy and a girl. In fact, she said adivasis believe that girl is a sign of fortune.
Aamir Khan has said that learned and educated people should learn from adivasis, who treat boy and girl equally.
How did female foeticide begin?
Dr. Puneet who spoke on the show has told Aamir Khan as to how female foeticide had begun in India. It was in 1970 that the message of population control was wide spread by the authorities. A few doctors were trained at government hospitals on abortions. Those doctors trained in abortions had actually began to play the role of family advisors.
They have not only advised family planning but allegedly asked parents to eliminate if a girl was born. Although the Government soon asked hospitals to stop this act, the bullet from the gun had been shot already! And the trained doctors started practicing this heinous act at private clinics. This became a good business to them and in 1990 ultra sound machines came into existence that could determine sex within a few minutes. This not only boosted the business of gynaecologists who allegedly determined the sex and later eliminated the girl babies but also the manufacturers of ultra sound machines.
Dr. Puneet said India should implement what Korea implemented a few years ago in their country in order to put a check to the same. Korea Government cracked its whip against all those doctors removing foetuses. The doctors were kept in jails and their licences cancelled. The problem of female foeticide came to an end within a year.

Satyamev Jayate’s 1st episode focuses on female infantic

The problem of female foeticide came to an end within a year.
Dr. Puneet has also said that all the doctors who did abortions in India should be kept in Tihar jail. Even women doctors are also involved in this crime, he added.
When Aamir Khan asked as to how many doctors’ licences were cancelled by Medical Council of India (MCI), Dr. Puneet said that not even one licence was cancelled over the same.
Later two journalists—Mr. Sheikawat and Meena spoke to Aamir Khan on their sting operation seven years ago, which was on female foeticide. The footage revealed many doctors who were allegedly ready to do abortions. The case is now in different courts since many doctors are involved in this and unfortunately even arrest warrants were issued on the journalists.
Satyamev Jayate team went to a group of unmarried men in a village in Haryana. They told that were not married since there were hardly any brides available. And they blame female foeticide for their unmarried status. That’s in fact true; elimination of girls would only result in an imbalanced sex ratio.
Aamir Khan called upon everyone to realize the importance of women. He has asked people to grow from within and put a check to this problem. The show received good response. It’s sure that Satyamev Jayate would have an impact on a large number of people.

Out of nine fire arms procured, two were recovered from Bhanu and his other associates, including Sulam Subbaiah.”
Bhanu confessed that he paid Rs 1 crore to Moddu Srinu out of the money he got through the settlements.
He was involved in the liquor business with Gangula Sundar Reddy, Satyanarayana Reddy and Pavan Kumar. He came into contact with Suri through them.
In 2004, while Suri’s wife Bhanumathi contested Penukonda by-elections, he canvassed for her.
When Suri was lodged in Cherlapally jail, he met him regularly.
Bhanu is involved in several cases of conspiracy and violation of the Arms Act in Ramgopalpet, Saifabad, Begumpet, Kukatpally, CCS, Patamata, Banjara Hills, CID and Panjagutta.
In 2006, Bhanu Kiran, along with Mangali Krishna, an aide of Kadapa MP Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, were involved in a 7-acre land dispute near Chirec Public School opposite Serilingampally Revenue Divisional Office and extorted Rs 1.2 crore from producer Sivaramakrishna.

The CID has identified the properties having clear title deeds and registered in the name of Bhanu and his associates,” said Mr Ramana Murthy.
The accused also purchased land in Bandar port area.
Bhanu, Suri along with one Jambula Srikanth Reddy acquired six acres of land in Dharmaram mandal of Karimnagar district by floating benami companies, for mining of maple red granite on lease by investing Rs 1 crore. The land was forcibly taken from Vanga Sudheer Reddy.
In another case, Bhanu, Suri and their associates with the help of NIMS deputy RMO Dr Sharath Naga Prasad and others grabbed 5.27 acres of agricultural land belonging to Sudheer Reddy on the outskirts of Pendyala village. Subsequently, 4.27 acres of land was registered in the name of G. Hemalatha Reddy.
“We are taking steps to freeze the bank accounts of Bhanu and his associates. If any of the victims are willing to lodge a complaint, the CID is ready to register the case. We will maintain confidentiality” said Mr Ramana Murthy.
Investigations revealed that Bhanu had helped one K.V.N. Reddy in the Handri-Neeva contract. Mr Ramana Murthy said, “During 2005-2006, Bhanu, along with his associates, was involved in the Handri-Neeva project and threatened other contractors not to submit their tenders and bagged projects worth Rs 178 crore in the names of JK Constructions, GVR Constructions and Coastal Constructions. They amassed Rs 18.5 crore for this deal.”

Hyderabad, May 4: Nandamuri Hari Krishna, member of Rajya Sabha and TDP Politburo has caused considerable commotion in the TDP circles by abstaining from the Politburo meeting held here on Friday.
Though it was said that Hari Krishna was busy with Rajya Sabha session, it is being said that Hari Krishna was never known for his regular attendance of RS and hence it was just an excuse.
When Hari Krishna’s absence was noted, it was felt that he was responding to the ongoing dispute between his son Jr. NTR and his brother Bala Krishna, who was supported by the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu.
It may be mentioned that Jr. NTR was hurt that the Krishna district TDP has given a call for the district bandh on the very day his latest film ‘Dammu’ was scheduled for release. He was hurt that the Krishna district party president Devineni Umamaheswara Rao has refused to postpone the bandh despite repeated requests by his fans and supporters including Vallabhaneni Vamsi, TDP urban president and party MLA Nani.
It was reported that Jr. NTR has asked Vamsi to give a jolt to the party leadership by meeting Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. Shocked by the deliberate meeting of Vamsi, TDP leadership has issued him a show cause notice. It is now being said that both Hari Krishna and his son Jr. NTR were trying to give another jolt to the party by permitting Vamsi to join the YSRC. It is being said that it is in this backdrop that Hari Krishna has boycotted the politburo meeting of TDP, to serve as a warning to Naidu.

Furious students and parents, whose protest had forced the government to agree to advance the exam date from May 24 to 16, held a protest in front of BIE office on Thursday. "If the government is not willing to consider the new marks while calculating Eamcet ranks, why did they advance the date? They raised false hopes," said N Nagaraju, a parent. Ironically, the government had advanced the dates to allow the students to be eligible for competitive examinations, including Eamcet, BITSAT (for BITS, Pilani), IIT-JEE and AIEEE.
Higher education minister C Damodar Rajanarasimha has reportedly called for a state-level meeting of all stakeholders, including AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE), Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University ( JNTU) and Board of Intermediate Education on Friday to discuss the issue.
Till last year, students taking advance supplementary examinations were considered for the Eamcet rank list. But this year, the higher education department issued a GO in the second week of April - before the Inter results - saying that these students would not be considered for Eamcet as hardly a few hundred appeared for it.
However, in an unusual development this year, a huge number (1.8 lakh or 31% of total Inter students) failed in the physics paper. Protests finally forced the state government to advance the advance
supplementary exam date to May 16. Of the total 5.6 lakh students who appeared for the physics paper, 4.8 lakh are appearing for the advance supplementary, including the 1.8 lakh who failed.

HOWRAH: A 47-year-old schoolteacher from Howrah was hauled up for showing pornographic material on his mobile phone to students. Bally resident Debasis Das, who taught English at Belur High School, was arrested on Thursday after parents lodged a complaint against him. Das was also suspended from the school immediately.
A couple of months ago, MLAs of Karnataka and Gujarat were accused of watching it in their respective Assemblies. And now, a 47-year-old schoolteacher from Howrah has been hauled up for showing pornographic material in his mobile phone to students. Bally resident Debasis Das, who taught English in the Belur High School, was arrested on Thursday after parents lodged a complaint against him. He was also suspended from the school immediately.
Das taught English to students of Classes V to VIII in the all boys' school. On Thursday morning, hundreds of parents turned up at the school and demanded a meeting with headmaster Tapas Chattopadhyay. The headmaster was shocked when the parents accused Das of showing obscene photographs and film clips on his mobile phone to their sons. The parents also staged a demonstration outside the school premises demanding the teacher's suspension.
The parents then lodged a complaint with the police, accusing Das of sexually harassing their children. Das was arrested and taken to the police station.
"The governing body of the school is taking this charge very seriously and we have suspended him. I will also take up the matter with the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education. In December, 2011, this teacher was suspended for academic reasons. The suspension was revoked in the end of March and he started taking classes again. We are treating this complaint very seriously though," Chattopadhyay said.
Nishat Pervez, DC(HQ), Howrah City Police, confirmed that the teacher was arrested and investigations were on. Display of pornographic material to minors is a punishable offence in India and Das is liable to be sentenced if the charges against him are proved.
NAGPUR: A day after the case of a drunk man raping his mother-in-law was reported at Koradi police station, another shocking incident of a four-year-old girl being raped was reported at Nandanvan police station on Wednesday.
According to the police, the girl and her younger brother were asleep when their mother heard her screaming. When she rushed to the room, she found her daughter bleeding. The mother then made a police complaint.
However, in the medical reports the doctors mentioned that it is very difficult to say whether the girl was sexually assaulted or not.
Senior police inspector Sunil Jaiswal said, "As per the medical reports, there is bleeding but no injury was found. Yet, as claimed by the mother, we have registered an offence of rape against an unknown culprit."
According to the police, the victim and her family had come to the city to attend her uncle's marriage on Tuesday. The family hailed from Nagbhid.
On Wednesday night, the girl, her brother and other children were asleep in the uncle's house at Abbu Miya Nagar while the family members and other relatives had gone to the reception party which was being held about 20 metres from the house in a pandal.
Around 10.30pm, the girl's mother came to the house for some work and heard her daughter crying. Spotting the blood stains, she told in her complaint that the kid has been either raped or an attempt has been made.
Cops said that since the girl is still crying in pain and is too small to give a statement, the case is not clear. "The victim has now recovered from the pain and her mother is questioning her slowly with some woman constables. So far, the girl has not said about any relative had come to her or any stranger. She is repeatedly saying that she felt something like a needle hurting her," said Jaiswal.
Cops are still questioning the other children asleep in the same room and other relatives.

Hyderabad, May 2: “Power is not a means it is an end. One does not establish a political power in order to safeguard a revolution. One makes the revolution to establish political power”
Ironically, the political masters and the TPJAC, a platform of intellectual cahoots that have been leading the “Telangana movement” (the Ultimate War for Telangana & a revolution of its own kind) began to safeguard their political powers at the cost of the movement. In the process, they turned the movement which has been spiraling out to be a ground swell of peoples’ sentiment into a show of an extended and a brazen form of an ordinary “political confrontation” that one comes across day in day out among the political class.
In the process they are unashamedly engaged in slugfest in trying to establish a political power in the guise of championing the ongoing Telangana movement. Instead of consolidating the movement to establish political power, they are engaged in political slugfest to claim the authority over it.
As a result the very existence of TJAC has become doubtful with its two main constituents TRS and BJP pulling it in different directions. The TRS wants to send the BJP out of the joint action committee which has been spearheading the Telangana Movement after branding it as a communal party.
Not satisfying with that KCR, TRS supremo even wants to throw out Kodandaram from TPJAC who hitherto been known as a religiously sincere marionette of KCR. It appears that the subservient Kodandaram has suddenly become a thing of allergy to KCR.
The whole game plan of both the main Telangana protagonist parties is to hog unrivalled domination over Telangana movement so as to consolidate the Telangana vote in their favour. In the process they gave a new dimension to political equations in Telangana region subjecting the Telangana protagonists into confusion and tearing TPJAC asunder.
Aware of TRS' game plan, the BJP is working hard to spread its roots wide and deep in the region to become a force to reckon with, and is leveraging heavily on its national party's image and its commitment to the Telangana cause.
With the Parkal by-election round the corner, the TRS wants to execute its plan to expel the BJP out of TJAC and thus gain electoral advantage in the by-election which the BJP is also fighting. The TRS is worried about the growing strength of the BJP and wants to clip the saffron party's wings so that it could not pose a threat to its own existence.
On the other hand, wanting to play its cards carefully, the BJP is ready to face the TRS but wants to remain in the TJAC to derive political benefit. It plans to take the help of other Telangana organisations to check the growing clout of the TRS with TJAC.
Once again the sentiments and aspirations of Telangana people seemed to have become a plaything for politicians. The sudden turnaround and decision of leadership to tear TPJAC asunder to hog the political domination indicated a “movement failed and politics won situation”.
The Ultimate war for Telangana suddenly became a mission to reclaim political supremacy and became an unwelcome distraction from real cause. The movement instead of becoming an instrument to achieve Telangana has turned out to be an ocean of chaos. If the latest developments are any indication, the progress of an emotionally appealing movement suddenly morphed into a new election platform for politicians.
The movement has become a battle to be waged before media cameras as it is more of scoring political points. Its impetus, it seems did not spring from the inchoate and deeper sentiment of the people, but much from the imperatives of electoral politics.
There seemed to be nothing transcendent and epochal about the self styled Ultimate war, it is more of inspiring the voters and messianic rhetoric of its leadership.
History has a fascinating way of playing with the human beings in ways they themselves are unable to comprehend. History once again proved that it can be repeated, Telangana people are playing their roles on the stage of current Telangana movement without knowing that their actions can draw parallel to the long forgotten actors who left the same stage, while the character of the politicians leading the present movement in many ways seemed to be relics of compromise witnessed on the same stage in 1969.

Hyderabad/Vijayawada, May 3 (INN): Telugu Desam Party leader Vallabhaneni Vamsi Mohan on Thursday gave reply to the show-cause notice served by party president N Chandrababu Naidu over his meeting with YSR Congress president Jagan Mohan Reddy during the election campaign in the Krishna district.
In his explanation, Vamsi Mohan reportedly mentioned that he had met Jagan Mohan Reddy 'accidentally' in the election campaign and there was no political significance to his meeting as reported by the media.
Stating that he has not done any mistake, Vamsi Mohan said that he has no plans to quit the TDP to join the YSR Congress party. 'I will remain in the TDP and continue to serve as a loyal worker," he stated.
In his letter, he said that he had never indulged in anti-party activities and in future, he would never make any comments against the party which could damage its image.
Earlier, he came to the TDP office to give explanation to party president N Chandrababau Naidu in person.
However, the leaders did not allow Vamsi Mohan to meet Naidu and asked him to give his letter to senior leader G Buchchaiah Chowdhary.
With leaders not allowing him to meet TDP chief, Vamsi Mohan sent his letter to Naidu, according to sources.

Hyderabad, May 3: People of the Sitaphalmandi area in the heart of the city have been spending sleepless nights, fearing that ghosts were on the prowl, killing innocent people.
A series of deaths of children has caused the residents of some of the areas of Sitaphalmandi suspect that it was the work of evil forces.
Residents said that one healthy person who was talking with his friends has suddenly rushed into his house and hanged himself, for no reason. Residents are stating that several such inexplicable deaths were occurring in the area. Residents wrote the name of Lord ‘Ram’ prominently on the outer walls of their houses in red paint, to dispel evil forces. Youth are patrolling the streets with sticks, through the nights so that elders could sleep peacefully (though none could explain how they proposed to attack a ghost with a stick).
Visits of representatives of Jana Vignana Vedika (which campaigns for rational and scientific thinking) to the area, have not helped instill any confidence among the residents. Fearing the ghosts, several people have locked their houses and went off to relatives’ places. Some are spending the days at their houses and sleeping in temples during nights.
However, neither the government nor other political parties have done anything to restore confidence among the people as they were all busy with their election strategies.

Skin shows, bikinis, lip-locks and other side businesses are encouraged for heroines as long as their status update is 'single'. Once they tie the holy knot everything should change, else their families may not support them.
We have seen a bunch of aunties returning to silver screen even after marriage. If they pick some family roles that look dignified, everything goes well. Else, if they shed clothes again, marriages will be disastrous. Looks like, same kind of thoughts are worrying the in-laws of cute heroine Sneha, who is going to ring wedding bells on May 11th. Reports are heard here and there that this tempting beauty wants to continue in films even after marriage.
But, she hasn't given the clarity about the kind of roles she will be taking up. People are saying that it became possible only for ravishing damsel Aishwarya Rai to rock as a top heroine even after marriage that too with a bit a skin show. They feel that Sneha's case is different and she may not get her 'wild dreams' satisfied without support from in-laws.

Hyderabad, May 3: TRS senior leader and former MP Vinod has said that as the union Home Minister Chidambaram has informed the Lok Sabha that the TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu has met him in connection with the Telangana issue, it has now become clear that it was Naidu who had scuttled the Telangana process.
Talking to the media here on Thursday, Vinod said in sharp contrast to Chandrababu’s claim several times in the past that he never met Chidambaram; the Home Minister has specifically stated that he had met him. He said with this, the real nature of Naidu has been exposed.
He said while Naidu was duping the people by stating that he and his party were staunch supporters of the 'T' cause, he has been subverting the process all along.
Vinod has demanded that Naidu must clarify in what context he has met the Home Minister. If he has not met Chidambaram as he has been claiming, he should move a privilege notice against the union minister for giving misleading information to the Lok Sabha, he added.
