Hyderabad, Nov 26: Six people, including a week-old baby, were killed in a massive fire that broke out in sheds erected for a film shoot and later spread to a residential building at Poppalaguda on the city's outskirts, police said Monday.

Three others were injured in the tragedy Sunday night, one of the worst fire accidents in the city in recent times.

The incident occurred at Sriramnagar colony at Poppalaguda in Ranga Reddy district.

Two women and a week-old baby were among those killed. The building watchman died of suffocation after he was trapped in the lift.

After battling for nearly two hours, three fire tenders and fire fighting personnel managed to douse the flames, which had engulfed four floors of the apartment building.

According to police, plastic and other combustible material used for film shooting was dumped in a shed, which caught fire around 8.30 a.m.

Witnesses said that within a few minutes, flames and smoke engulfed the adjacent Baba Nivas apartment. The staircase close to the shed filled with thick smoke, making it impossible for residents to escape.

Locals and fire fighting personnel rescued some people from the other side of the building.

State Home Minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy, who rushed to the scene and supervised rescue and relief work, announced an inquiry into the cause of the fire. The blaze was suspected to have been caused by short circuit.

As locals complained that fire tenders reached late, causing the high casualty figure, the home minister explained that the delay was because fire station personnel took time to trace the locality.

She said awareness would be created among the fire services staff about the new residential areas on the city's periphery.

Hyderabad, Nov 26: Jitta Bala Krishna Reddy, former TRS youth wing leader who has recently joined the YSR Congress has warned that they would not keep quite if the TRS tried to defame the YSR family.

Speaking to the media here on Monday, he said the Suryapet meeting was only for saving the existence of TRS and not for Telangana. He said it was heinous that KCR was trying to gain from the martyrdom of innocent Telangana students and youth. He said even if Telangana was conceded, YSRCP would rule in both the states. He said KCR was frightened at the increasing influence of his party in the Telangana region and was struggling for his own existence. He said this was the reason why he was talking as he liked.

Reminding that TRS ministers were in the cabinet when Pulichintala decision was taken, Jitta has questioned why they had not opened their mouths then. He has also told that it was due to YSR that NIMS was started in Bibinagar and added that it would have become operational by now, if only YSR was alive.

Jitta has questioned KCR why he was not talking about Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and their Congress party. He has also questioned what happned to KCR's fight on Wakf land allotments. Reminding that it was already 3 years since YSR died, Jitta questioned who was stopping Telangana now.

Damarukam hits the headlines again. This time not for postponement but over title row. A few members today staged protest at film chamber raising the objections against the title name of the movie. They demanded that they selected this title long ago and could RR Movie Makers use this title. Following this incident, a large number of police personnel were pressed into action to clear the mob. Lets hope that Damarukam movie should not face any obstacles. It is known that Damarukam is scheduled for a grand release tomorrow world wide. The observers questioned that why these agitators never opposed the title earlier and why they sat for agitation just a day before the release of the movie

Telugu actor Rajasekhar, known for playing dedicated and patriotic policeman in most of his films, says he always looks forward to slip into the khakee uniform on big screen.

"Most memorable roles in my career have been those of a cop I've played in several of my films. I don't discard my other films, but playing cop has always been special because it gives me a sense of pride in the work I'm doing"," Rajasekhar told.

Some of the films in which the actor donned the khakee uniform are "Ankusam", "Evadaithe Nakenti" and "Satyameva Jayate".

He won a Filmfare Award for best actor for his role in "Ankusam".

The 50-year-old, who debuted in 1985 with Telugu film "Vande Matharam", will again be seen as a policeman in his wife Jeevitha's Telugu directorial venture "Mahankali", an actioner.

Film industry must run on the values of ethics and principles but there are those rotten bugs in the circuit who bring bad name to the entire industry with their behavior. The sad part is, such people exist even in the top range also. Despite having money and everything, their basic character is cheap.

The reason for this discussion is after hearing about one producer. He is known as one of the top producers and recently his name came up due to a controversy. Anyways, it is heard that this producer has got the habit of womanizing and that is a common thing in industry but here is the difference.

It is heard that this producer uses a girl only once and never goes back to her. While that is one side, the worst part in him is, he doesn’t pay that girl. Basically, he simply applies the ‘use and throw’ formula on the girls. Using it in work is known but doing like this even on bed is something disgusting. Shame on this man!!

With the Komatireddy brothers – Bhongir MP K Rajagopal Reddy and Nalgonda MLA K Venkat Reddy, more or less disclosing their mind to quit the Congress and jump into the YSR Congress, they have started receiving brickbats from their detractors.
Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Palwai Goverdhan Reddy described the Komatireddy brothers as betrayers of Telangana.
“Late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy was dead against Telangana state. And his son Y S Jaganmohan Reddy also displayed his anti-Telangana stand. How can Komatireddy brothers who claim to be championing the Telangana cause join the YSR Congress?” he asked.
Palwai alleged that the Komatireddy brothers had amassed huge wealth with the patronage of YSR.
“Komatireddy brothers were interested only in money making and contracts, rather than Telangana. I have been predicting for a long time that they would leave the Congress party to join the Jagan camp,” he pointed out.

Kajal Agarwal, the actress who has been on cloud 9 with her recent super hit ‘Thupaki’, both in Telugu and Tamil says that she will never do any film that keeps the heads of her family members down. She also added that she wants to see all her films with her family members.

Well, she has to answer if she watched the hot kiss song on her from Chandamama along with family members.

Keeping that away, she said that she denied the opportunity to do the film ‘The Dirty Picture’ when she first got the offer of its remake, for only reason that she needs to do a couple of topless and bold scenes.

Not stopping at that she also added, “I have respect for Vidya Balan. She wouldn’t have done that role in ‘The Dirty Picture”.

Well, Kajal should know Vidya got huge fame in national level and also bagged awards for her performance in the film. Otherwise, we should understand that Kajal is envious of Vidya!

Though Tollywood and Telugu entertainment has been filled with many north Indian and other regional beauties, finding a proper bunch of Telugu girls is hard. Telugu ladies doing something bold and glamorous is not seen naturally and that’s why the scarcity of seeing authentic Telugu artists.

But here is one girl who seems to be ready to break the shackles. Her name is Madhoo and she is a noted singer. She has come up with a private video album and one of her numbers has been getting a good response across the web. It is not only Madhoo’s sensuous voice but also her native sex appeal which adds to it.

So far it has been ‘Hai Rabba’ Smitha who is the native Telugu hotshot and local pop diva. But it looks like one more name has joined that list in the form of Madhoo. Click the link below and enjoy this sensation folks-

Nandamuri Balakrishna who was on a signing spree till few months back has applied brakes suddenly and since past few months not one announcement has been made about his films. However, inside talk is that Balayya has begun to focus on his 100th film but with few hiccups.

Buzz is that Balayya is keen to remake the black and white classic ‘Narthanashala’ as his 100th film but since it is a mythological film, there are a lot of budget tensions attached to it. But still it is heard that Balayya wants to materialize it but they might be taking a safer route. And there is a wide belief that such budgeted films should be handled by brains like Rajamouli.
Sometime back, Rajamouli had revealed about his dream of doing a film on Mahabharata so the makers of ‘Narthanasala’ are approaching him for directing. But since Rajamouli is busy with his own projects they might request him to at least take care of the script and screenplay departments. Whether he will accept this or not remains to be seen.

Hyderabad, Nov 19: Unidentified people set afire six cars near the Andhra Pradesh High Court early Monday, police said. The arson attack took place when the situation in the old city was returning to normal after violent incidents Friday.

Police said cars parked in the Ghansi Bazar area near the high court premises were set ablaze by some youths who came on motorcycles. Police have retrieved the footage of the arsonists from closed circuit cameras installed in the area and were trying to identify them.

The footage showed a youth pouring petrol on a car and setting it afire before fleeing on a motorcycle with his accomplice. The attack was recorded 3.20 a.m.

Police suspect it to be an attempt to incite violence in the old city, which witnessed a series of attacks and clashes in the past two weeks over a temple abutting the historic Charminar monument. As many as 10 people were injured and many vehicles were set afire during the violence near Charminar Friday.

The communally-sensitive area was simmering over alleged expansion of the temple abutting the Charminar in violation of court orders.

Accusing the Congress government of colluding with communal forces, its ally Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) last week withdrew support to it.

Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy Monday reviewed the law and order situation with Director General of Police Dinesh Reddy and other top police officials.

Big butt is a healthy sign

London, Nov 19: Men get heart attacks by watching shapely butts of women. Some made a forward march in their careers with their backs turned to the front. Socialite and US reality TV star Kim Kardashian is more famous by her hind than anything else. Even actress Jennifer Lopez's hind is more talked about, than her other exceptional talents. 

Apart form the sensation it might cause, a heavy posterior is a sign of good health, a new research suggests. The extra padding on the backside and thighs could even help to protect against disease.

Researchers have conducted studies on health effects of fat stores in different parts of human body, particularly around hips and thighs. Lead researcher Konstantinos Manolopoulos of the University of Oxford, England says that body's fat distribution was quite important for one's health. His new article summarizes a body research showing that such hip and thigh fat can help to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart diseases. In an article researchers of Harvard published the results of their study in the scientific journal 'Cell Metabolism', they said popular pear shape producing a large derriere in women may actually be protecting them against Type 2 diabetes because their bodies make better use of Insulin. Researcher Dr. Ronald Kahn said he was surprised to learn the fat in the rear was healthy. He said, “I think it points to a special aspect of fat where we need to do more research.” 

Dr. Kahn thinks that this was great and could lead to finding another drug that might help develop a big hind.

He has said he would however play a key role in the movement and fight for telangana

Ever since top model Nargis Fakhri was roped as a female lead opposite Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor in the film Rockstar, rumormongers have started speculating that the two were having an affair. Even after several months after the release of the film, these link-up reports kept on appearing in the media very often. Nargis Fakhri upset with the rumors, decided to put an end to speculations. Clarifying the reports, the actress said,"Ranbir and Me had a wonderful friendship during the shooting of Rockstar. Being a top model in US, I have always worked with the hottest men in the world but I have never ever slept with any of them. When I introduced one of my Australian friend to Ranbir, she immediately said 'He is freaking handsome' and couldn't believe that we weren't having an affair." The hottie declares she is open to have an affair with the person she falls in love. "I'm not averse to have an affair, but hot men mean nothing to me. I will only have an affair with the one whom I love," she stresses.

So, now due to the financial crunch ‘Autonagar Surya’ shooting is stopped.Naga Chaitanya’s one film is also not released in this year.As per the reports the shooting of the film might be resumed based on Damarukam movie profits, if Damarukam fails then we have to wait and see how Autonagar Surya will be completed.
So both father and son movies are in trouble now and Damarukam got the new release date on November 23rd, which is also not yet confirmed exactly.

Shiv Sena chief, Bal Thackeray passed away at 3.33 pm today at the age of 85, leaving millions of his followers in distress. The tiger that ruled Mumbai for more than 45 years is no more. His funeral rites procession will start on Sunday at 10 am and cremation will takes place at 3 pm. Thackeray lost his life due to a lung and pancreatic ailment. Thackeray has been suffering from breathlessness and constipation since July this year and was kept under constant medical supervision with a team of doctors stationed at his residence. On Wednesday, his health deteriorated and after two days he showed signs of responding well to the treatment, but unfortunately he left this world forever. Bal Thackeray started his career as a cartoonist in English Daily and later started his own journal. He then entered politics by announcing Shiv Sena in 1966 and emerged as the most charismatic mass leader Maharashtra has ever witnessed. He is survived by his wife Mina, Sons Uddhav and Jaidev.
Shiva Sena leaders appealed to followers and Maharashtra people to stay calm and maintain peace, while speaking at Bal Thackeray's Matoshree residence, where he breathed his last. Around 20,000 cops and central forces are deployed all around Mumbai to control any untoward incidents.

For the first time, a state minister has dubbed for a role in a Tollywood movie and colleagues are going all out to portray Kiran Kumar as a hero of the people.
Supporters of Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy are trying their best to ensure that their `propaganda' film ‘Operation Duryodhan 2’ becomes a hit.
Apart from recovering their Rs 5-crore investment, they want the maximum number of people to see the film, which showcases the capabilities of their leader. The aim is to expose his detractors within and outside the party.
Apparently for the first time, a state minister, E. Pratap Reddy, has dubbed for his role. “Pratap Reddy likes to complete any given task with perfection; so to give a realistic touch to his character, he preferred to dub for himself,” says producer Surender Reddy.
The minister is actually portraying the character of Kiran Kumar Reddy and the political thriller will be showcasing the various schemes initiat ed by the CM and his “zero tolerance” towards corruption. In the film the CM appoints his friend and fire-brand CBI officer (Jagapathi Babu) who busts various scams and sends the culprits to jail.
For the last few months, the CM has been keeping track of the film and had even made enquiries with his party leaders.
“Some Congress leaders have funded this project to show Kiran Kumar Reddy in a good light and highlight his determination to eradicate corruption,” says a source.
Some of the characters of the film reportedly remind one of leaders like APCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Jagan Mohan Reddy.
“The film also shows the recent plans to unseat the CM,“ the source adds.
No Cabinet has shown so much interest in a Telugu potboiler and Kiran Kumar and his colleagues will apparently be watching the film soon.
‘Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu’ was supposed to be a veiled promotion of the late YSR as an able leader.
Krishna Vamsi’s ‘Paisa’ is expected to showcase the rise of Jagan Mohan Reddy as a politician and a businessman. The film ends with him becoming the Chief Minister.
Vishnu Manchu’s film ‘Assembly Rowdy’ has been “designed” to glorify Jagan Mohan Reddy who will be shown coming out of jail and ruling the roost in the Assembly.

The death of dentist Savita Halappanavar due to the refusal of doctors at the Galway University Hospital to terminate her pregnancy and save her life has angered the Indian community in Ireland.
Savita’s family, inclu­ding her husband, Pravin Halappanavar are heading for Ireland to join the agitation to be launched by the Indian community there on Friday, demanding action against the do­­­tors responsible for her death.
“It is unfortunate that no government official from either India or Ireland has contacted Savita’s husband or any of us after her death. While political outfits and the Indian community across Ireland are protesting the doctors’ negligence, neither the Karnataka government nor the Centre have bothered to contact us. We want both the state and Union governments to take up this issue very seriously and give us justice,’’ said Savita’s father, Andanappa Yalgi, in Belgaum.
“The authorities in Ireland should realise that abortion may be illegal for Catholics in Ireland but not for Indians staying there. The doctors did not act professionally when it came to saving the life of a healthy woman. Due to their own set of rules, both the mother and her unborn child died miserably,’’ Mr Yalgi added angrily.
Both the Halappanavar and Yalgi families have been flooded with sympathetic messages and visits by well wishers shocked by the manner of Savita’s death in Ireland. While her husband, who had brought her body to India for cremation, had planned to stay for a while more, the Indian community in Ireland is insisting that he rush back to help them intensify their agitation.
Savita’s family is waiting for the results of the investigation into her death bef­ore taking legal action against the doctors.
Protests were held in London outside the Irish embassy and in Cork too.
Independent expert to probe Savita’s death
The Opposition parties in Ireland, Labour and Socialist parties, have called for another protest outside the Irish Parliament and outside Irish embassies across the world on Saturday to force the government led by Prime Minister Enda Kenny to introduce proper legislation on the issue.
The Opposition members also forced the Irish government to hold a debate on Savita’s death in the Dail, the Parliament.
Irish health minister James Reilly told Parliament that two investigations arey underway and a coroner’s inquest will also take place.
“Savita’s death has highlighted the need to deal with the legacy of the X case. I have never received so many letters, emails and phone calls,” Labour MP Gerald Nash said

Hyderabad, Nov 16: TRS Chief K Chandrasekhara Rao has announced that former president of TNGOs’ Union Swamy Goud as the candidate for North Telangana MLC.

After giving party membership to Swamy Goud at Telangana Bhavan here on Friday, KCR said that the party would not limit the services of Swamy Goud by giving MLC seat, but also it would utilize his services by giving him Employees’ Welfare Ministry in separate Telangana State. KCR also said that he has inducted Swamy Goud into TRS Politburo as a member. He said Swamy Goud extended moral support to him during his hunger strike in 2009 for Telangana. KCR admitted Swamy Goud in TRS by offering party ‘kanduva’. 

Speaking on the occasion, Swamy Goud said that he took decisions on his own till yesterday but today onwards he would implement decisions of KCR. He said that he would spare no efforts for achievement of Telangana State continuing in the TRS. He also made it clear that he joined the TRS as it was fighting for separate State sincerely.

Hyderabad, Nov 16: Activists of Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti and Madiga Students Federation have tried to raid the house of the Telangana Political JAC chief Prof. Kodandaram in Tarnaka on Friday, protesting against his reported remarks against Minister Dr. J Geeta Reddy. They have demanded that a case under SC, ST Atrocities Act should be registered against him. Police stopped the activists when they tried to barge into Kodandaram's house and arrested them. A heavy police posse was posted at the place to prevent further escalation of tension. 

It was reported that Kodandaram has said he did not understand how Geeta Reddy was born to Eswari Bai who was a great fighter for Telangana state. Kodandaram has however denied having said it and alleged that media had misquoted him. Still, he has offered apologies. But the controversy is continuing. In Medak a case under the SC, ST act has been registered.

Hyderabad, Nov 16: Violence broke out once again near Charminar in the old city of Hyderabad Friday over a temple row. At least seven people were injured in stone pelting by an unruly mob, and baton charge by police.  Teargas shells were also fired by the police to disperse the mob, which set afire four vehicles and damaged several other vehicles, witnesses said. Trouble broke out soon after Friday prayers at the historic Mecca Masjid when a large number of people coming out of the mosque tried to proceed towards Charminar to offer 'salam' at a religious symbol abutting the monument.  Policemen and paramilitary personnel, however, stopped them by setting up barricades. Raising slogans against the police and demanding that restrictions be lifted, the protestors started pelting stones at policemen and attacking vehicles and shops. The police resorted to baton charge and fired several teargas shells to disperse the mob, which was pelting stones from three sides of the Charminar. Police said the situation has since been brought under control.  Additional reinforcements were rushed to sensitive areas around Charminar. Home Minister Sabita Indra Reddy reviewed the situation with top police officials. She appealed to people to cooperate in maintaining peace. The communally sensitive old city had been witnessing sporadic incidents of violence for the last two weeks following a row over the Bhagylakshmi Temple abutting Charminar, which symbolizes the historic city. Muslim groups have been opposing attempts to expand the temple on the ground that it was illegal and had marred the beauty of the 400-year-old monument.  The Andhra Pradesh High Court Nov 5 had ordered status quo as on Oct 30. However, the erection of a canopy over the temple structure, in alleged violation of the court orders last Sunday, triggered violent protests.  The government claimed that it was allowed only to implement court orders. Accusing the Congress government of colluding with communal elements, the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) withdrew support to the government.

She is very talented and entire TV circuit got shocked by her wit, humor and intelligence when she did the program 'Colors' being a kid. Even the top anchors like Suma have got tensed if their career will be in question mark with this new sensation. But eventually Swathy got call from big screen and thus showcased her talent there. She even proved successful there by winning awards for the films like Subramaniapuram in Tamil. Swathy is a very well known name in Tollywood and Kollywood. But still, she cannot be matched with main stream glamor dolls.
She has been reserved in okaying the subjects. She wanted to do only meaty roles and the portrayals those really project her talent. But Tollywood, that sees a heroine only as sex doll couldn't accommodate Swathy in the roles she wished. Although she did very notable roles in films like Asta Chemma, she did not get even such kind of roles subsequently.
But now she opened her eyes. She okayed two mass films with young heroes. Bangaru Kodipetta with Navadeep and Swamy Rara with Nikhil. Both the posters proved interesting and let us see if they bring luck to this talented Telugu girl.

Hero Sunil is married long back but now he is getting ready to marry Isha Chawla. You will be mistaken if you think it is real. The pair had romanced in the film ‘Poola Rangadu’ and now they are pairing up once again to entertain the audience. The Bollywood hit ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ is being remade in Telugu.

The film was titled as ‘Radha Krishnulu’ earlier but now it has been confirmed as ‘Mr Pellikoduku’. Sunil will be marrying Isha in this film. This is directed by Devi Prasad and it is made under the banner of Mega Supergood Films.

Hyderabad, Nov 15: The BJP State President G Kishan Reddy on Thursday held the MIM responsible for the  tension that prevailed in the old city during the past one week.

Speaking to the media here, Kishan Reddy has made it clear that Rashtreeya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) had no links with the clashes that have  taken place in the old city,  resulting in tense situation. MIM party has created panic in the public with its  midnight dharna, he alleged.

Alleging that the MIM was working with an agenda to expand its gundaism throughout the state, he charged the Party  with working with a conspiracy so  that the Muslims  would not  develop. The BJP was  exposing the gundasim of MIM from time to time.

He strongly criticized other political parties for keeping mum on the issue of Bhagya Laxmi temple issue. He questioned as to  why the GHMC Mayor, who belongs to the  MIM, has not resigned to the post even after MIM withdrew its support to the Congress government.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and son Abhishek were injured as they struggled through the crowd to meet ailing Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray at his house Matoshree.

On Wednesday night, the actors went to visit Thackeray, who is reportedly in critical condition.

"Balasaheb Thackeray: a fighter all his life, fights his life! Prayers needed now! Yes both Abhishek and me were injured with cuts, but are fine and back home... the doctors at Matoshree attended on us," Amitabh tweeted.

Amitabh recalled the time when he was recovering in hospital after his near fatal accident on the sets of 1983 film "Coolie", and Thackeray had come to see him.

"When I was flown in to Mumbai from Bangalore in semi-conscious state after 'Coolie' accident, it was his ambulance that took me to Breach Candy Hospital," Amitabh said.

"When I fought for my life after 'Coolie' accident, he came to visit me in hospital, with a cartoon he had drawn Yamraj defeated! Yamraj God of Death, defeated by me... wish I was as proficient a cartoonist as he, I would wish to draw that for him," added Big B.

The 70-year-old says Thackeray has always treated him like family.

"When Jaya and I married, he (Bal Thackeray) called us to his house... and the rituals that were conducted was of the 'bahu' coming home! From that day on he always treated us as family," he said.

Amitabh also revealed how Thackeray supported him while the actor reeled under the Bofors Scandal accusations.

"When the Bofors Scandal accusations on us were at its peak, he called me home and asked 'tell me the truth, are you involved?' When I said 'No!', he said 'Then do not worry about anything. I am with you. You are an actor, go do what you are best at'," he added.

London, Nov 15: An independent public inquiry must be conducted into the death of Savita Halappanavar, who collapsed after doctors in an Ireland hospital refused to abort her foetus on grounds that "this is a Catholic country", demanded a friend of the family.

The death of Savita Halappanavar must be the subject of an independent public inquiry, said C.V.R. Prasad, a surgeon who is a close friend of 31-year-old Savita and her husband Praveen.

Prasad, an orthopaedic surgeon at the Merlin Park Hospital in Galway, said such an inquiry must be taken out of the hands of the Health Service Executive (HSE) or University Hospital Galway, Irish Times reported Thursday.

Halappanavar arrived Oct 21 with back pain at Galway University Hospital where she was found to be miscarrying at 17 weeks. She died of septicaemia Oct 28.

Her death has sparked outrage in India.

Prasad, who visited Savita in hospital before she died, said: "Any inquiry should be public. That is the way it should be, it should not be conducted by the HSE or the hospital. It should be independent. I hope that might save the life of another women. This should never happen to another woman. Religion and medicine should never mix."

Savita's husband Pravin, an engineer at Boston Scientific in Galway, described how she asked several times over a three-day period that the pregnancy be terminated. She was in terrible pain and was miscarrying.

He said the request was refused by medical staff who said they could not do anything because there was still a foetal heartbeat. He said they were told that this was the law and that "this is a Catholic country".

He was quoted as saying that she spent over three days "in agony" until the foetal heartbeat stopped.

The dead foetus was removed, but Savita's condition deteriorated and she died.

The HSE said that an independent external expert in obstetrics and gynaecology would be appointed to strengthen the incident management team it has asked to investigate the circumstances of the death.

The team would liaise with Pravin.

"The process of incident review seeks to ascertain the facts relating to the incident, draw conclusions and make recommendations in relation to any steps that may need to be taken to prevent a similar incident occurring again."

Chennai, Nov 15: Film actress Namitha is reportedly preparing to bid goodbye to film career and join politics. According to information, she is planning to join the BJP and play a key role in Tamil Nadu politics.

Namitha is not getting any film chances excepting few guest appearances in films like Simha these days. She has confined herself to TV channels in Tamil Nadu in recent times. Kolywood reports say that she has decided to take membership of the BJP and try her luck.

Usually there is a talk that film directors tend to enjoy heroines a lot and the much abused term ‘casting couch’ is quite commonly referred. But according to a recent survey the HR managers of top notch companies are reportedly enjoying their sex life more than directors in terms of variety and quantity.

Well, getting a role in cinema for a girl is like lottery but if someone tries with one or two HR managers, job is guarantee. That way, the survey has revealed that pretty girls are tracking HR managers through Facebook and other social networking sites and trapping them with their sexual charms.

They are working in that company for 6 months and disappearing. It is heard that they are not even reachable for that HR manager and jumping into other companies at better positions through the same formula. Some of the boys who have been noticing this trend are now opting for HR as specialization in MBA. Talk about win-win situation folks

Hyderabad, Nov 13: Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, president of the YSR Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi, supremo of the MIM appear to be setting their sights on the capturing the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. 

So far MIM and Congress have been sharing spoils in the corporation. The two have been taking the Mayoral post by turns. Now with the changed situation after MIM withdrew support to Congress both in the state and at the center, protesting against Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy’s attitude towards the Muslims, now there is every chance of the YSRCP and MIM joining hands in the GHMC.

It is learnt that YSRCP has already started poaching Congress corporators. Five corporators have already joined the YSRCP. Of these, while four were Congress men, one belonged to the TDP. It is learnt that 15 to 20 Congress corporators were in touch with the YSR Congress and might join the party any minute. 

Several Congress corporators are dissatisfied with the way they were being ignored by the party MLAs and MPs when approached for developmental works in their areas. These corporators were reportedly planning to join the YSRCP, say sources. These corporators were stating that some MLAs, Ministers and MLCs had written complaints against them to the Chief Minister. The corporators were also angry with the Ministers, MLAs and MLCs as they were opposing allocation of Rs. 1 crore as development fund for their divisions. It is their complaint that the MLAs, Ministers and MLCs were opposing release of these funds as they did not want them gain influence in their division by implementing developmental works. 

Congress won 55 of the 155 divisions. However after four corporators left the party, the strength came down to 51. Sitaphal Mandi corporator Vijaya Kumar who quit the Congress has become a prominent leader of the YSRCP. He was made Greater Hyderabad in charge. Later S Harsha Vardhan (Habsiguda). G Suryanarayana Reddy (Suraram Colony) and Singireddy Dhanapal Reddy (Cherlapalli) have also joined the YSRCP. TDP corporator D Surekha (R K Puram) has also joined the YSRCP along with her husband. They complain that MLAs do not want them to grow in stature, fearing that they would become a competition to them in getting party tickets during the assembly elections.

Greater Hyderabad Congress president and minister Danam Nagender has sensed the impending threat and started trouble shooting operations. He is likely to hold a meeting of the party corporators and try to contain further erosion of the party base in the city. 

It is also learnt that three more MLAs were in touch with Jagan and they would join the YSRCP during Sharmila’s yatra.

Hyderabad, Nov 11: All India Malis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has decided to withdraw support to the Congress government headed by Kiran Kumar Reddy in Andhra Pradesh. The party president and Parliament Member Asaduddin Owaisi has also announced on Monday that the party has decided to withdraw support to the UPA government at the Centre. 

Addressing media after a meeting of his party's politburo here, he said the reason for the decision was Kiran Kumar Reddy government's support to the Sangh Parivar and help to BJP to strengthen itself in and around Hyderabad. He has alleged that the Congress government was 'licking the feet' of Sangh Parivar and harassing the Muslim community. He said he has already faxed a letter to the President of India, and meet him latter. He said he was also writing to the governor about withdrawal of support to the state government. When asked if his party would support a no-confidence motion against the government, he said that was not his party's priority now. The priority was to make the government come down and amend its follies.

Owaisi said Muslims in the state started facing troubles after Dr. Y S Rajasekhara Reddy died and K Rosaiah took over as the Chief Minister. He said he did not think that the government of Kiran Kumar Reddy was secular. If Kiran was thinking that no one was observing him like the proverbial cat closing its eyes while drinking milk he was wrong. He said people were observing his actions. 

Claiming that MIM and Muslim voters have played a key role in bringing Congress to power 2004 and 2009 elections, Owaisi has said during the past 3 years there were raids on Muslims in Siddipet, Miryalaguda, Sangareddy and Adoni. Instead of doing justice to the victims, he said Kiran government has arrested innocent Muslims. In Sangareddy, though it was a common knowledge that the local MLA was responsible for the communal riots, Muslim youth were targeted. He said none involved in the riots was arrested because the riots were organized by the local MLA. 

Owaisi said even in cases like Sabji Mandi, Madannapet riots and the latest incidents concerning the extension of Bhagya Lakshmi temple abutting the historic Charminar, Kiran government chose to side with the Sangh Parivar. He has charged the government of disconnecting the telephones of MIM MLAs apart from arresting them unnecessarily. He has also charged that all the local Urdu TV cable connections were snapped to block his press conference. He has thanked the Telugu TV channels for telecasting his press conference live.

Owaisi said in several parts of the state, particularly in Srikakulam, cattle meant for sacrifice on the occasion of Bakrid were seized by the authorities at the instance of Sangh Parivar. 

He said though he has about harassment of Muslims to the Chief Minister several times,  he has not responded. 

When asked if he would now ally with the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, Owaisi has admitted that Jagan was his friend. He has also said that Kiran was also once his good friend. He said he has however chosen to act this way.
