If BJP goes in alliance with TDP, can Purandareshwari win? I have no hopes for the others. Dattatreya may have an outside chance if there is a BJP-TDP alliance.

Purandeswari joined BJP and not TDP because she (and her husband) and CBN do not mix. Even if TDP and BJP align AND BJP get vishakapatnam (TDP by itself is reasonably strong here), expect TDP local cadres to sabotage her.

Hyderabad -0% chance, MIM WILL win
secbad- reasonable chance, if trs decides to not play for it. BJP and trs votes have an overlap - the pro telangana faction.
BJP and TDP votes have overlap - the settlers
BJP and loksatta have overlap.

So bjp has to have an understanding with all these to win comfortably.

There may be an underlining Modi wave, recently I gave a lift to a person, who asked me only one thing - to vote for BJP. I smiled and left. Now this is a pro-BJP assembly constituency. So I dont want to read too much either.

It is satirical song on Sushma - here is rough translation.
"See chinamma (Sushma) your Gali robbed all mines. When they put him in jail he gave money and was out. Pedamma (sonia) split AP for votes but you also wanted to take credit. Modi is trying to develop country; your are doing stinky acts"

For example, here is a video doing satires on PRP party leader and Actor Chirajeevi with a song with similar tune. don't worry about translation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwFC9ogdMWI

Some history on song and power of Cinema medium:
The song is heavily used for Satires in Telugu by changing words but maintaining same tune. It was original sung by SP Balasubramaniam in effeminate voice for the Hijra-like character in a movie.

The character was played by Maada (Maada Venkateswar Rao). After the movie and this song, his surname Maada became Telugu word. Maada now officially mean Hijra or very effeminate male.

Bandaru Dattatreya win will depend on BJP+TDP alliance. He is friendly to TDP voters and Venkaiah Naidu so should be acceptable candidate for alliance. TDP was planning to put Chalasani Srinivas Yadav against current Congress MP Anjan Yadav.

Unless a strong leader from BJP is thrown up, expect a rehash of 98-99. The core of BJP cadre will have to come from TDP voters, CBN stopped the migration in 99.

No of seats are not important, TDP is the dominant partner by miles. Only mps will be there, cadre will still be TDP.

Congratulations to our Muppalla-garu for accurately predicting the return of political alliances based on dining deer biryani together. Hope our Telangana friends who were worshipping the Nizam are going to be happy now that Nizam rule is going to return in full strength. While bursting firecrackers for Nizami rule return, please ensure that you have made arrangements for your self protection too now, Maybe an alliance with the dutty settlers is not such a bad idea now? Anyways, there goes BJP chance for CM-ship next term. Chicken Reddy will have to spend a few more terms in dreamland, I guess. If he gets elected, that is.

Six on SA side a little too much for BJP, no? Better for BJP to get 3-4 on SA side, and 8-9 on T side. Anyway, on T side, neither BJP, nor TDP will win much this time. Muslims+T supporters is a very strong combination, and will probably get TRS+MIM majority in Assembly, and 9-10 seats in Parliament.

^^Those 6 SA seats will be the weakest ones for TDP - ones such as cuddapah. So no point reading too much into TD's generosity either.

Ah ! Separatist of one kind thinking of a alliance with separatist of another kind. Will MIM ditch its jigri Congress and go with TRS or will it be a TRS-MIM-Congress alliance ? Also will this mean that TRS will not support BJP post poll as MIM will definitely make this a condition. Also it would be interesting if TRS agrees with other MIM demands like deputy CM post to a Muslim and making Urdu a first language on par with Telugu. This also means that MIM will continue to keep the law and order of Hyderabad Old city in its hands without any opposition (the main reason why it opposed UT for Hyderabad and opposing joint capital for 10 years since it would be administered by governor)

TRS-MIM can use this video for campaigning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PCXufs4vz0

On the flip side, this is good in the sense it may hopefully make at least a minority of people think before voting for TRS instead of blindly voting on T-sentiment.

Some one were asking about the what the shakeup could come from SA region.

http://www.amararaja.co.in/group_companies.asp
Read all the various industries in the above link. These guys now joined TDP.
http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/new ... 764123.ece

Hyderabad, March 8:

The Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Amara Raja Group, former Chief of CII-AP, Jayadev Galla today formally took the plunge into politics. He joined the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and announced intentions to contest from Guntur to the Lok Sabha in the ensuing general elections.

The young, US-educated corporate honcho, who has steered Amara Raja to a over Rs 3,500 crore entity, has been nurturing political ambitions, with an eye to bring in change for the last couple of years.

Jayadev Galla and his mother Galla Aruna Kumari, a former minister of Mines in the Kiran Kumar Reddy led Cong(I) Government, joined the TDP in the presence of N Chandrababu Naidu.

The Gallas entry into TDP, marks the family from Chittor, severing a 7-decade long association with the Congress Party. Jayadev’s grandfather, Rajagopala Naidu was also an MP. They have a strong industrial presence in the district, providing employment to thousands of families at Amara Raja’s factories.

Asked, why he chose TDP instead of Cong (I), Jayadev told Business Line that developing a State requires somebody with vision, track record to lead and Chandrababu has these ingredients, so I chose the TDP.

For the residuary AP, the loss of Hyderabad is a big blow to regain, but the opportunity to develop a new State is equally challenging. The entrepreneurship in Seemandhra can be catalysed by a good government and vision, which the TDP chief can provide, he said.

Interestingly, the Gallas also hail from Chittoor, the home district of Naidu. Aruna Kumari was elected to the State Assembly from Chandragiri three times and served as a minister under different chief ministers. Jayadev, infact, got his initial lessons into politics managing campaigns for his mother.

On choosing Guntur and Parliament, he said his father-in-law, Telugu superstar Gattamaneni Krishna’s family is strong there. Mahesh Babu, the present big star is his brother-in-law and also his grandfather’s association with NG Ranga are a big plus. The city also has a pre-dominantly urban voter, to whom he can appeal.
{what this means is that Mahesh Babu will campaign for TDP. He is top-of-the-line Telugu Movie star.}

" I feel I am better suited to Parliament, where my skills can come to play a role in the policies that are framed", he says. As CII-AP head, he was instrumental in the shaping of the employment intensive `Rajiv Yuva Kiranulu’ project as well as regional development initiatives.

"Politics is not a way or means to strengthen our business, but I see it as a way to make a change and bring better value and accelerate the processes of development", says the physical fitness-freak, 48 year old Jayadev Galla.

Such news will change the election scenario on the SA side. This changes the scenario in Chitoor district of AP.

This is a kind of check-mate from TDP as BJP is trying to rope-in Rayapati Sambasiva Rao for Guntur seat.

The KKR Congress and Pawan Kalyan PRP parties are to divide the anti Congress votes. Someone should knock some sense into these two charlatans.

As CM KKR facilitated the division by allowing the bill to be brought to the assembly providing a fig leaf for Shinde.
PK and his brother's role in bringing Congress to power is very well known.

Andhras would be foolish to allow lightning to strike twice!

Ramana gaaru, KKR and Chiru were only pans in the great game AP chess. In fact, Chiru helped AP bifurcation to be a bloodless event. We all must thank him. Just imagine if Chiru was not there in the previous elections, and sefinitely the AP assembly would have gone to TDP, but still because of nationwide wave for Congress (though MMS mia-managwd the economy during his I term also, the foundation laid by PVNR and subsequently stronf steong grpund floor built by ABV were the main reasons for Indian economic success during UPA I. Of course RBI Governor YV Reddy also contributed a great deal to UPA I make beleive success story) would have still come to power. LKA was no match to MMS as PM candidate.

Now in this scenario say TDP came to power by forming Mahakootami. YSR as opposition leader and CBN unable to contain KCR would have lead YSR to create huge razakar type violence in Hyderabad all the time blaming CBN for for Mahakootami and eventual bifurcation would have made people waiting for CBNs blood in SA, and a possible return of YSR in SA in 2014 would have been gory.

For all the above scenario, the basic assumption was that the AP bifircation was externally scripted and was executed with unmatched determination. The violence part of it has been temporarily postponed by naivety of Chiru and KKR. We must still thank them as the damage was only to their own reputation. Nobody died yet.

We Yindooze are like that onlee, saar. We love being screwed. Jats got bashed by all `seculars' in UP, and now many want to vote for BSP and SP, because BJP did not honour some Jat warriors in Meerut (talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face). In Hyderabad, we worship the Razakars because we want to show our differences with the SA folks. In Assam, there are so many tribal wars and warriors, that I forget who is on whose side on any given day (never mind all of us get screwed by the peaceful seculars from across the border). I suspect there is a lot of latent masochism in Yindooze. Should make for an interesting study for someone's thesis.

It is a matter of perceptions. Hindus are are capable of defending their dharma if only the danger becomes overt. The entire game in the past 60 years has been a carefully orchestrated campaign to keep them complacent. As if there is no imminent danger. And the huge population helps in giving a false sense of security that all is well. My friends - the morons who support AAP or INC - are as capable of picking up a weapon to defend themselves or their loved ones if they PERCEIVE an attack. But they don't perceive an attack on the society yet - and they certainly don't perceive it as coming from an insidious internal enemy. That is because they lack certain basic neuron connections. They are all successful engineers, businesspeople etc. But they still lack the basic neuron connections that distinguish between clarity and FUD. And the media keeps it that way.

Fixing it as follows (sorry to insert my own viewpoint):

They have neuron connections which do not fire. The neuron connections will fire only when their own physical self is threatened. All the successful engineers, dakdars, biznezbeepul will realise that the material wealth is useless when their own self and the future of their progeny is threatened. Right now the race is for obtaining the material wealth.
