I request gurus for further insights and possible connections/trends in YSJ episode.

Here is a local satrap who revolted against the Congress sultanate and got public sympathy on that aspect alone. His anti-nationalism (corruption and EJism are anti-national tendencies to boot) is over shadowed by the public perception of his legitimacy (being son of a favorite elected leader) and heroism (standing against the sultanate).

He is being favored by the local public in spite of the fact that the other local factions (TRS and TDP), which might be equally anti-nationalistic (corrupt and secular), are better representatives of their regional interests in the long-run.

It is a fact that YSRCP made it very clear that it would support the sultanate to ensure that so-called anti-secular forces do not come to power. Interestingly another satrap MIM also took similar stand.

It all looks Nizam game Deja Vu to me. Here is the "manufactured" non-secular and non-effective sultanate govt (KKR) which must be removed to ensure local-secular satraps (YSJ and MIM) can fill that space, while destroying two relatively more nationalistic opponents TDP and TRS for the sole reason that a nationalistic govt overthrows the sultanate.

Can we game this to see how the players ally? I think the Mesquito model I ran on Telangana gave good insights into this.

RamaY garu,

YSRC sentiment is strong in Cuddapah, Nellore, Prakasam (western parts). Their main votebanks are Reddy and SC - both are INC votebanks in the past. Even SCs are split between INC and YSRC. Other castes are slowly upset that only Reddys are represented and that they don't get to be allowed to inner circles. Any other votebanks can be fair game. TDP winning depends on how INC breaks the Reddy votebank of YSRC. But from examples of byelections in Nellore, there is INC votes were diverted to YSRC so TDP doesn't gain advantage. Prakasam and up, YSRC is not a strong player.

They may gain if they become outright United AP-wadis as no other party is representing united AP (as PRP is gone).

Two very important districts in the Telangana region are the Khammam and Nalgonda. While Khammam still has a mix of communists and congress influence, the Nalgonda region has a mix of congress and TRS influence. But all that has been washed off if observers are to be believed. The impact of Chandrababu Naidu’s Padayatra ‘Vastunna Mee Kosam’ is creating a lot of change in the voter mindset in these two districts. Babu has completed his tour of Khammam district and has entered Nalgonda today. It is heard that he was given a rousing welcome by the local people. Women were clad in yellow sarees and they welcomed him with traditional ‘Kolatam’ dance and other cultural activities. Even Khammam has its share as Babu is unveiling a statue of N T Rama Rao today and he would be addressing a large public meeting at the Khammam crossroads. Both districts are buzzing a lot with the TDP presence and impact.
http://www.apherald.com/Politics/ViewAr ... -that-area
But it is heard that the former CM is having a main worry in one area. This is his hometown Chittoor and the worry is about his party losing its presence. Recently TDP received three big blows with two sitting MLAs Amarnadha Reddy from Tamballapalle, Praveen Kumar Reddy from Palamaner and legislator Chinthala Ramachandra Reddy from Pileru quit TDP and joined the YSR Congress party. Immediate measures are being planned to get backup in these regions. The consolation for Chandrababu in this matter is, he has Srinadha Reddy, younger brother of Amarnadha Reddy still loyal to TDP along with the senior leader and political veteran Venkatramana Raju who are putting good efforts to ensure Babu wins maximum seats in his home district.

Congress will be routed if Telangana not granted, says Rahul Gandhi's secret survey
HYDERABAD: Congress and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) would be routed in Telangana region in the next elections, if a separate state is not formed, revealed a secrete survey conducted at the behest of AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi.

The survey done by a private agency said the TRS would do better if it is merged with the Congress in a separate Telangana state, and the report said the two parties with the combined strength were likely to bag 12 to 14 Loksabha seats, and 70 t0 80 Assembly seats in the region. Telangana region has a total of 17 Loksabha constituencies, and 119 assembly segments.

Highly placed sources in the party said the senior leader from AP Congress engaged the private agency to do the survey and submitted the report to Rahul Gandhi a couple of days ago ahead of the Jaipur AICC session. The centre is committed to take a decision on Telangana issue before January 28.

"The Congress high command has taken Telangana issue seriously considering its political implications, especially after the self-imposed deadline is fixed. Rahul wanted us to give him authentic inputs for his personal consumption. We hired a private agency to do the survey, and we gave the report to Rahul on January 14," said a Congress MP from Telangana, who is close to Rahul Gandhi.

As a two-day brain storm session started on Friday in Jaipur as a prelude to the AICC session slated for January 20, the state Congress leaders expect the Telangana issue to figure in the deliberations on Saturday.

"So far the deliberations were on the issues such as economic reforms, and the schemes like direct cash transfer. Telangan issue may come up on Saturday in a separate committee meeting on Saturday," labour minister Danam Nagender told TOI from the venue of the session in Jaipur.

The survey report throws up some politically significant aspects such as no political party including the Congress and the TRS would singly benefit from the formation of Telangana state. And these two parties would face a win-win situation in case the Centre grants statehood for Telangana before 2014 elections. The report warns the Congress that it would be rooted out in the region if no decision is taken on Telangana. And interestingly, it says even TRS would take a hit in case Telangana state is not formed, and the party's representation in the state Assembly would reduced to a single digit. Now, the TRS has 17 MLAs, and two Loksabha MPs.

"The outcome of the survey is clear that the Congress must take a proactive step in dealing with Telangana issue, and the party must join hands with the TRS if it wants to take benefit of the formation of Telangana state. And it is inevitable for the TRS to go for the merger with the Congress," said the Congress MP.

In a measured response to the query relating to the survey report, the TRS leaders said their party is open for all the options that ensure the formation of Telangana state.

"In October last year, when the Congress leaders invited us to discuss Telangana, the issue of merger had come up. But, they retracted after a point of time during the discussion in Delhi. Now, they are saying their survey suggest them the merger. We don't want to say anything at this juncture. Our course of action depends on the political situation going to be emerged," B Vinod Kumar, a politburo member of TRS.

The survey report said the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) would gain some grounds in the region thanks to its pro- Telangana stand expressed in the all-party meeting held on December 28 2012.

But, the report has sounded a death knell for the Telangana Congress minister and legislators, who took neutral stand on the state division issue, as it predicted they would be severely punished by the voters in the next elections in either way if Telangana state is formed or not.

The reports said there would be little change for the pro-Telangana parties like BJP, and CPI as they can hardly improve their tally even if the Telangana is granted. However, the report said, the YSR Congress was expected to grow stronger thanks to the joining of defectors from the other parties including Congress, TDP, and TRS.

The message is very simple from the above article. The entire state is between TDP and Jagan. Rest of the parties has no say. The inital goal when fuel was added to the slow T movement was to destroy the regionalism of TDP a.k.a Telugu pride etc. What it turned out is that at the end if they even have to be relevant in the region they have to divide. Even after the divide their longevity is not gauranteed.

On the otherside, this could be all psyops - Giving pro-T articles and vibes out so that they can trigger outrave from the otherside. When some trains and buses are burnt then they will call a ceasefire declare some crappy regional council with financial package and get over with it. (INC will lose big time if they don't give T though :) )

Non-T is again for United AP. Hyderbadis want various options, Hyderabad state, Union Territory, Special Status, etc. Latest a T-Hyderabadi want Samajika Telangana :rotfl:

They don't fight for lack of development now (SKC report said T developed well). They want T self rule. By their logic any one can claim self-rule because majority in the regions, districts, cities, or villages want self rule. If you want T, Center says take it. If you want Hyderabad, Center says take it. If you can give 2 MPs seats in you district, Center says take it.

It started when INC&YSR want to screw TDP and insitigated T-leaders to ask for T. AP ended up in this state now.

It said “keeping in view the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the country at large and also in the interest of all Telugu-speaking people of Andhra Pradesh, the meeting endorses the statement of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the Lok Sabha that she firmly stood for an integrated State of Andhra Pradesh after considering the pros and cons of the two agitations.”

Unfortunately for INC they are sending a direct message to people of AP that their decision on T is based on elections and MP seats they can win and political advantage. This will result in INC closing its shop in NOn Telangana areas if T is given. They are not even taking steps to manage peoples perceptions in any area. As a result of which INC will get bad name every where.

You beauty and candid

The plan is simple INC sweeps Telegana, YSR(C) P sweeps Seema Andhra. the like BSP and SP, Jagan supports UPA in no confidence motions.

Vayalar stumps Seemandhra Ministers
“How many Lok Sabha seats are you going to give us from Seemandhra region if we decide against dividing the State?” was the pointed question reportedly posed by AICC leaders to T.G. Venkatesh and three other Ministers during their meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Mr. Ravi was quoted as telling these Ministers that the Jagan factor was strong in Seemandhra while the pro-Telangana sentiment still prevailed. “Telangana Congress leaders have promised us 16 out of 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana, if a separate State is carved out.
but the division is against the INC grail, to solve an issue one way or other is not the INC style.

This will be an important test for UPA-ADMK relations amd also what may happen in 2014
AIADMK seeks Centre to allocate 4,830 MW to Tamil Nadu
As interim measure, 2,000 MW power to be produced from Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant should be alloted to state
T E Narasimhan / Chennai Dec 31, 2012, 17:09 IST


General and executive council meetings of the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ( AIADMK) has, today, passed a resolution asking the Centre to allocate 4,830 mega watt (Mw) to the state. The resolution stated that as part of interim measures 2,000 MW of power, which will be produced from the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) should be allotted to the state.

Similarily, the entire 2,830 MW of power which would be produced from the Vallur Thermal Power Plant, at Thiruvallur in Tamil Nadu, being set up the State and Central utilities should be given to the state Government.


Meanwhile, earlier addressing the meeting, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister said that the power crisis will be addressed before the end of 2013. She also alleged that the reason for the severe power crisis is poor administration of the earlier DMK Government.

At present, the state is facing power shortage to the tune of 4000 MW.

Some of the major projects, which will go on stream include 600 MW Mettur Power Plant, first phase of 500 MW power plant at Vallur, anytime now, second phase of Vallur, which is 500 MW, will go on stream from March 2013.

Another 600 MW from North Chennai project will commence in April 2013 and the second phase in May 2013 with similar capacity.

The second phase of Vallur project, which is to generate 500 MW of plant will go on stream in October 2013 and two 500 MW projects at Tuticorin by December 2013.

All the projects would bring power to the tune of 3,230 MW, she said in the meeting. Besides this, 925 MW from KNPP, 230 MW from Neyveli will also be ready. By end of 2013, 4,385 MW of power will be added to the state Grid.

To meet future demands, the projects which are envisaged include 600 MW power plant at Ennore, 2X660 MW in North Chennai, 1600 MW Uppur Power Plant,800 MW Udangudi and 660 MW Ennore project.

Why did INC pick the word 'Shivir', it is so easy to make fun of in English as 'Shiver'. Social media can have so much fun with this, no?

Btw, Dilip D'Souza laments: How Rahul Gandhi Blew the Indian Rape Crisis

Seriously ? :cry: If he expects the readers to believe such gimmicks......oh well some always do.
If there's a surer sign of how detached Gandhi now is from his raison d’être, Indian politics, I don't know what it is.

Yet it wasn't always so. In February 2010, Rahul Gandhi made a trip to Mumbai. He bought tickets at a railway station and boarded a commuter train for a ride across the city. At Dadar, the city's busiest station, he walked over the bridge to switch to another train. There's some famous footage of this journey. Even with the accompanying security and press, you see Gandhi waiting on a crowded platform, boarding the train when it comes in, holding onto an overhead support, shaking hands with other commuters, and even making a phone call.

For that hour or so, if you took away the handshakes and security, Gandhi was much like every other rail commuter in this great city. Consider what a remarkable statement that is. Consider what a rarity it is to see an Indian leader up close like that. It said something about the man.

^ the real fear for RG not coming out during Delhi protests was the fact that there "was" a gang-rape case on him, which was striken out by SC (it went upto SC) very recently.

Imagine a bunch of students calling him rapist, rightly and wrongly, and that slogan catching up for eternity.

Remember the saying "gali gali me shor hain, RG chor hain"?

I will transform India, Rahul Gandhi says

Stating that he had "great experience", Rahul also told the meeting that he was confident that the party can "transform" the country. "He expressed his gratitude towards all the CWC members," Congress leader Vilas Muttemwar, who was present at the meeting, quoted Rahul as saying after his elevation.

"I have great experience...in the last eight years that I have worked with the party I have seen it is a great organization and together we will transform the country. It is a great party,"
said the 42-year-old scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, who was the party's general secretary, before his elevation.

Rahul becomes the third vice president of the Congress after Arjun Singh under Rajiv Gandhi and Jitendra Prasada under Sitaram Kesri.

Why RG is angry? He has been promoted to INC Vice President , a party which claims the legacy of erstwhile national Congress founded in 1885. He is going to lead the party in next General Election in 2014. He looked sooooo happyyyy there.
You should be happi too. He led Congress to stupendous win in Bihar last time herded the party to election. 4 in 240 seats. Next time he would get you how many seats in Parliament out of 545? Do the math?

This pathetic bunch of clowns will win in 2014. In spite of so many scams, poor leadership and anti national attitudes, Congress continues to do well in elections. They have not lost a single major state (Goa does not count)since 2009 which they earlier held. They have only wrested Uttarakhand, HP from the BJP, Kerala from CPI and may win in Karnataka & Jharkhand in 2013.
There is a hidden Indian trait desiring bad anti-national administration. It is the Congress now, the British before them, Mughals and Sultanate before that.

@PTI_News: We empower only a handful of leaders, says Rahul Gandhi.

Now watch all the party workers and aspiring ministers pledge their loyalties to RG and his vision.

I think UPA will pull of a surprising move to all in the next year (pre-2014 elections) and will create a massive nationalist sentiment (maybe try and make people forget 2G scams) to rescue themselves.

India needs a leader be it UPA or NDA - I think people will vote in a leader.

Arjun ji, you are under-estimating the urban India. NSUI won the Delhi University elections. Mumbai is with Kongis. All of urban India has remained part of their respective local politics without any national outlook. Kolkatta or Chennai will never vote on national considerations even in 2014 general elections. The hold of the media and itya-aadi that comes with it, is massive on the urban Indian psyche. This self made vagaira will not cut it simply because of inerita.

Modi will have to get down to the brass tacks if he wants to make an impact in urban India. Everything will go further along its trajectory unless some outside force is used. With Modi you rather we, get only a chance nothing more. A lot of luck will be needed, say for example Rahul munna bungling up.

I guess you meant 'over estimating' rather than 'under-estimating'... 8)

I don't discount that a lot of smart campaigning needs to be put in...Urban India went largely with Congress in last Lok Sabha elections - but the situation now I think is more conducive to Modi than to the Dynasty.

Lets wait to see what the independent surveys say in a few months....they usually nowadays sample across the class divide. They were not off the mark in Gujarat.

My mother cried, she understands power is poison: Rahul Gandhi


In a highly emotional speech after taking over the new mantle, Rahul Gandhi today said, "My mother came to my room and cried... because she understands that power is poison."

Striking a personal note, the 42-year-old leader in his maiden address as party Vice President, recalled the moments when his mother and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi walked into his room last night.

"Last night each one of you congratulated me. My mother came to my room and she sat with me and she cried... because she understands that power so many people seek is actually a poison," Mr Gandhi said at the All India Congress Committee session in Jaipur.
He said his mother could see that power is poison "because she is not attached to it. The only antidote to this poison for all of us to see what it really is and not become attached to it. We should not chase power for the attributes of power. We should only use it to empower the voices."
"Congress party is now my life, people of India are my life. I will fight for people of India and for this party. I will fight with everything that I have."

37 daily wage labourers have lodged an FIR against a Youth Congress worker from Udaipur, Ghanshyam Dhabai for failing to pay them Rs 200 each as promised. They were hired on behalf of local MLA Sajjan Katara to shout "zindabad" during Union minister C.P. Joshi's visit to Udaipur. But they claim that they were not paid after the show was over.

Yes, this is the plan. They have already started doing so, with Kasab's hanging, and now the noise being made against Pakistan.

Come on guys. UPA or INC can do nothing more than what they are doing to come back. All the Chintan Shivir etc are just the niceties.

The following are the stuff they are doing since 2004 and doing it continuously and effectively. There is no change to that plan:
(1) Allow its folks to loot and spend in elections. The loot is captures on camera and other proofs so that they can make sure the folks will be loyal to party and syndicate led by Gandhis.
(2) Divide the opposition votes using the loot and blackmail. All the institutions of India are sabotaged to maximum level and they work only per the directions of the syndicate. Corruption, hindu terror and all such stuff becomes issues only if you are serious opposition to UPA (Reddy bros, Yeddi, Jagan and latest is Chautala)
(3) Those who can play INC-B teams will be allowed to live with a sword over their neck - Mulayam, Pawar, Maya etc.

In spite of all the above, their numbers and stocks are going down after every bye election. It barely scraped through in Uttaranchal and HP.

Their only brahmastra is EVM manipulation along with arrest of Modi if that is possible. Rest is all negative folklore.

Currently they are focusing on getting just 140 as their own inputs are telling that they are below 100. But 140 is crucial to create a UPA-3 on the lines of UPA-1. To get this 140 the following are very very crucial:
(1) Modi should stopped from being PM candidate
(2) AP should be split and TRS should be merged (this is a 1000% necessity and if not done it is end of Gandhis from India and I will eat crow :) if they do not split AP and also win more than five seats in AP)
(3) Sweeping Haryana and two to three seats from Delhi are crucial
(4) Karnataka is most important and they have to win 15 seats from this state.

And then do salami slicing using EVMs in close contests to reach 140.

The one over the attacks on the LOC. I don't remember any time over the last 8 years (including after the Mumbai attacks), where the Prime Minister was this upset over Pakistan.
