When will this nonsense end?

is Eenadu still owned by Ramoji? I thought it was sold, no?

Sharmila greeted with 'go back' slogans

YSRC leader Sharmila, who is on her ‘Samaikya Shankharavam’ bus yatra, tasted the wrath of the Samaikyandhra agitators in the district on Thursday. She was booed by the protestors, who gathered for the ‘Laksha Jana Garjana’ programme at Pamidi, with ‘go back’ slogans.

Blaming the politicians responsible for the present turmoil in the state, the agitators raised ‘Go back’ slogans without allowing her to speak. After facing such a bitter experience, Sharmila headed to Kurnool district without addressing the gathering.

She addressed public meetings at Dhone, Veldurthi and Kurnool on the fourth day of her bus yatra.

Speaking at a public meeting at Kondareddy Buruju in Kurnool town, Sharmila demanded that the Centre should reconsider its decision on state bifurcation issue as it had failed to render equal justice to all regions.

She lashed out at TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and the Congress high command for the decision to split the state without taking into consideration the sentiments of Seemandhra people.

She reiterated that the TDP was enacting dramas through its MLAs and MPs and betraying the people of Seemandhra. Both the TDP and the Congress are indulging in cheap politics, she said.

The YSRC leader alleged that the Congress is playing vote bank politics to divide the state and that YSR’s popular schemes like 108, Arogya Sree and 104 were slowly disappearing.

Party MLAs Shobha Nagireddy, Y Balanagi Reddy, former MP Bhuma Nagireddy, former MLC SV Mohan Reddy and others accompanied her.

Just thinking loud (must have been posted by others too...)

To me it looks like a great INC-tamasha about T-decision.

I think they wanted to announce the T-decision and have TRS merge into Congress and go for elections before actual forming of State. If everything goes well (meaning UPA3 comes to power) and there is little/no agitation in Seemandhra, they would have gone with t-state formation post 2014 elections.

Now TRS/KCR is not ready yet to merge his party.
Congress already got much needed breathing space in Telangana - there is a fair chance that they will turn tables on KCR in 2014 elections.
BJP may not make much in roads in Telangana
TDP is gone case on both sides of the state.
YSRCP is limited to Seemandhra area

My gut feel is if elections are held today INC will get at least 20 seats on its own from the state.

Come what may (no emotions or bias), INC will get a ZERO in AP. Divided, united, UT or whatever the slicing and dicing it will be getting a ZERO. The only problem is that if TDP/BJP doesn't gain, INC may buy/coerce the YSRP and TRS into UPA. Hence, from an ant-UPA bias that is the only political stuff that needs to be watched.

With the Telangana/Samaikyandhra agitations, no one is talking about YSR scams anymore. Jagan suddenly became the satyagrahi for Samaikyandhra. Will TDP focus on Jalayagnam anymore as some of its MLAs are also involved in the scam ?

Meanwhile on the other end,

Seemandhra doctors in Telangana region complain of discrimination

Doctors from Seemandhra region working in Hyderabad allege that they are being discriminated against and being intimidated in matters of work and transfer.

Doctors of the Telangana Medical Joint Action Committee had been allegedly gathering in hundreds at the office of the director of medical education (DME), demanding that the Seemandhra doctors be shifted from Telangana districts, including Hyderabad.

"Gatherings and agitations demanding that Seemandhra doctors be shifted from Hyderabad would take place every day at the office, disturbing official work."

The numbers aren't good news for the BJP and Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, who are using high economic growth and investment in the western state as a key theme ahead of the 2014 general elections. Similarly, Karnataka, where the principal opposition was in power until recently, has lost sheen amid corruption-related charges. But Andhra Pradesh (Rs 11,000 crore) retained the fourth slot despite the state being hit by Telangana-related protests for the past several months, while Gujarat (Rs 10,600 crore) ranked fifth.

http://www.firstpost.com/economy/telang ... 99795.html

Karanji, have you ever heard of bait and switch? Here is a classic example from the above article:

According to property research firm Knight Frank Hyderabad will take more than two years to absorb the current unsold inventory of 33,000 housing units. Nearly 8,500 units were launched in the second half of financial year 2013, showing an increase of almost 33 percent compared with the second half of financial year 2012. However, nearly 28% of the total launched units till date are unsold. Hence a steady absorption rate is required to sustain the prices.

So far so good., it says that at the current steady rate there is some 2 years of inventory left to be cleared or it will take 2 years to clear the current unsold inventory. This assumes no new inventory comes into the market.

It does not talk about new inventory coming into market. You are getting hooked at "look the situation is gloomy", but:

This brings to an end the political uncertainty that has gripped Hyderabad for over four years now and prevented the Hyderabad real estate market from growing in line with real estate markets in other competing cities such as Bengaluru, Pune and Chennai. Residential capital values in Hyderabad are yet to cross their H1 2008 peaks whereas they have crossed those levels in most of the top 7 cities of India,” said Crisil Research in a report today

The political uncertainity which caused such gloom is over - yay!

Since the political uncertainity is over - yay! - and since in other markets the RE recovered to their 2008 values in *most* of top 7 cities, same will happen in Hyderabad. (bait and switch)

Excellent bait and switch:

1. If you fill a hole to the current level, you are at current level - not higher.
2. In some cities it is level, in other it is not yet level but approaching level., same is going to happen in Hyderabad - eventually. SWITCH
3. Bait - Political uncertainity is over - Yay!

Really, is the uncertainity over? So much that demand will pick up and new investments take place? There is a gestation period for new projects. Where are those numbers?

The rest of the article is all feel good comments., sample this:

All said and done, this decision has been long awaited and will prove to be a game-changer for Hyderabad real estate.,” said Sandip Patnaik, Managing Director – Hyderabad, Jones Lang LaSalle India.

What do you expect your RE agent to say? The decision of Obama on Syria will prove to be a game-changer and stock markets will rise?

In short, they are making pappus out of the readers.

Unhappy Endings For Diggy

The Congress was busy passing a string of bills and policies in the run up to general elections. One of the most important decisions they made was that on Telengana and the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into two or three states. As party in-charge of AP, much of the closing negotiations on the issue with various sides were being handled by DS. The Congress should have been soaking in glory for the Telengana decision but the reality is far from it. Their Telengana decision has caused more damage than they estimated. AP is on the boil ever since that decision and even many Congressmen don’t support the decision. For once the Congress had banked on DS to come out with a right outcome. He failed. All the parties in the division of Andhra, Telengana and Hyderabad are unhappy with the proposed split. For all we know this decision may never come to be implement. This is the failure that may have finally dumped DS into the political ever-after.

^^^ A comment for above article ...

reports from many parts of AP about Rajiv and Indira statues being pulled down. Those statues were given the full treatment of shoe garlands, defacement, defilement, damage, knocking off the pedestals, abuse and dragging thru the streets. The MSM put a tight lid on these newsworthy items but SM wasn't so kind. (I guess you can see the pix in Niti Central archives). Marie Antoinette II and the Clown Prince are punishing DS for these acts of lese majeste. The sacred statues of the Holy Family, begad! DS, ol' boy, purgatory has just begun. It ain't ended yet.

mediacrooks may be good but this is foolish article. The decision is solely taken by Rahul and Sonia. Entire congress leadership actually said to not do. Diggy even went to the level of not arresting Jagan and just give him the CMship and close the chapter.

Telangana always wanted a state when they did not get CMship as a blackmail. Indira, Rajiv cooled it off by making Chenna Reddy as CM. Sonia thought she is more intelligent and took a personal decision.

The state is lost a longtime ago and it is still lost even now.

Relying on film stars wont work for BJP but since it is starting from a zero base in Andhra, no harm in trying

Telugu film stars see ray of hope in Narendra Modi

As the Congress seems to have scored over Telangana issue by announcing its decision on the separate statehood, the BJP being a pro-Telangana party has been feeling edged out and is looking to make inroads into the Seemandhra region comprising Andhra and Rayalaseema. The best way the party found to do it is to rope in the film stars who are mostly from Seemandhra.

Sensing the mood, Modi had chanted 'Jai Telangana' and 'Jai Seemandhra', while addressing a well-attended public meeting, on August 11, at Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium which also marked the launch of BJP's poll campaign in south India.In what could be a bid to lure the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) back into the NDA, he invoked the party president and late chief minister N T Rama Rao and hailed him as a great leader who strive build a strong anti-Congress political forum in the country.

Among those who met Modi, BJP's chief poll campaign manager were Ram Gopal Verma, K Raghavendra Rao, D Rama Naidu, Daggubati Rana, Mohan Babu ( with his children Manch Vishnu and Manch Lakshmi) and Jagapathi Babu.

Others including, Krishnam Raju, Kota Srinivas Rao, Ali, Gouthami, MM Keervani, and VV Vinayak, also managed to meet him, along with industrialists and media barons, including Kiran, the son of Eenadu's Ramoji Rao.

As a majority of the candidates lined up were Kammas, the BJP is understood have been strategizing to build support base in Andhra and Rayalaseema, by fielding them since the community has a stronghold in the region.

It would also be a win-win situation for the BJP and community as the Kammas are in need of a strong political voice to face Reddy, another dominating community. "The BJP is seen to be a natural choice for the Kamma since TDP, the pro-community party, is expected to join hands with the national party to be back in the NDA fold," said a BJP leader.

A reasoned analysis of why BJP should spurn any talk of pre-poll alliance with TDP

devesh · Post by **devesh** » 16 Sep 2013 10:47

^^^
above is a succinct summary of the twists and turns of TDP-BJP alliance.

the entire region is headed in a clear direction, to all those who can see. TRS needs to merge into INC. sooner the better. and as such, I don't think KCR, no matter how shrewd, will be able to stick around independently for much longer. the T-vadis of TRS need to merge into the INC. this phantom called TRS needs to disappear.

similarly, the TDP needs to go down, and hopefully in the process of miring down YSRC in an expensive war of attrition all along the coast.

don't mistake the above for docile submission to INC. on the contrary, the restlessness growing in the masses should ideally continue while at the same time giving the picture that INC has somehow survived and come out on top.

TDP and YSRC will both survive in some form, but vastly reduced from their present ambitions. this is a multi-election process. they will become rump parties ultimately dependent on somebody bigger to support them.

the scenario for 2014 looks like this to me: TDP on its own cannot get majority. forget majority, they can't come close to it, not with so many parties contesting and all with significant vote shares in some sub-region. if BJP is really dumb, TDP will once again get a lifeline. otherwise, they won't be forming the next govt. YSRC on its own cannot get simple majority. they are in the same boat as TDP. they cannot form govt independently. My estimate is that YSRC will manage ~45-60 seats. TDP, if it is phenomenally lucky, could manage perhaps 90-100 seats. but the realistic figure might be around 70. INC will end up in the 100-120 region without much difficulty. they will sweep Telangana. there is absolutely no doubt about that. if they decide to dump TRS and go alone, they will still win 80 out of the 117 seats without any difficulty. TDP, BJP, YSRC will all be no match after what INC pulled. and in Seemandhra, INC will manage 30-50 seats. and that's all they need.

to me, it is TDP which looks to be very close to some sort of major reckoning within the next 2 years. YSRC is waiting in wings smelling blood. INC, peculiarly, needs this seeming enemy to make sure TDP is once and for all pushed into history pages. without Jagan, it's not possible for INC to put paid to TDP dreams. this is why I don't think the brother-sister combo will get "accidented". they have a lot of utility for INC for at least a few more years, until they are sure that TDP is done. after that, well who knows? "ramudu evado rakasi evado".

so INC rule will continue. they are going nowhere, at least not in AP.

Whatever you do, at the end it has to be plotted to end congress and its closet supporting parties for 2014. All this long term goodness is not going to help because it is extremely important to see UPA or extended UPA get lower numbers. Hence BJP has to plan a strategy where INC+TRS+YSRC+MIM have a formidable challenge and the numbers does not cross 20 out of 42. When implementing such a plot certain emotions have to be kept aside as even today a reduced TDP is still a best bet for purer anti-congress alliance.

BJP's poll strategy in Andhra Pradesh — to align with TDP or split it

State BJP leaders revealed that the party has hatched a two-prong poll strategy focusing on the sentiments prevailing in Telangana and Seemandhra regions. They were hopeful of reaping rich dividends by exposing the Congress as the ruling party had mishandled the issue of state's division and ruffled the feathers of the voters in both the regions.

With the BJP's overtures to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) not yielding the expected results, the sources said Modi was even looking at splitting the regional party and luring a handful of MPs and MLAs from it.

"The reports on the possibility of BJP aligning with the TDP are creating confusion while the regional party is yet to find clarity on its electoral plans. Many leaders from the TDP are willing to join the BJP, but it is for the party leadership to take a final call," Ramachandra Rao, a BJP spokesperson said.

The sources said Adilabad MP Ramesh Rathore, and Palakurthy MLA Errballi Dayakar Rao, who is also the chairman of the Telangana TDP Forum, were among the TDP leaders who are in talks with the BJP.

"The TDP leaders from Telangana are upset with their party president N Chandrababu Naidu for his flop-flop on the statehood issue. They want to leave the party as they fear their political future would be bleak with the party.

While the Parliament aspirants prefer the BJP, the assembly aspirants want to go to either the Congress or the TRS.

In any case, the TDP's loss in Telangana would be BJP's gain," said a BJP leader.

As the BJP is looking at winning a few Lok Sabha seats both in Telangana and Seemandhra, it has marked Mahbubnagar, Nizamabad, and Karimngar as the most important seats.

In Seemandhra, it has invited prominent Kamma leaders and popular film stars to be its candidates, and the party sources said the stars including Krishnam Raju, Kota Srinivas Rao, and Mohan Babu are almost certain to enter the fray on BJP ticket.

As the party is sure of win from Mahbubnagar where Nagam Janardana Reddy, an independent MLA who joined BJP recently, would be its candidate, the BJP is strongly focusing on the MP seat. Sushma Swaraj's public meeting is fixed as per the well-though out plan, and following her campaign Modi would visit the Telangana region.

Divided state, divided media

One of the growth industries triggered by, first, the prospect of, and, now, the impending reality of a separate Telangana state, is media owned by people from the region. Suddenly, it is no longer enough that Andhra Pradesh has far more news channels than any other in the country—some 15, not counting impending and new entrants. What matters is whether the owner belongs to Andhra, or Rayalaseema, or Telangana and whose aspirations the media outlet is striving to represent.

At the end of August, Hyderabad got yet another English newspaper called Metro India. Speeches made on the occasion touched upon the most striking characteristic of the media landscape in this state. Bharatiya Janata Party leader M. Venkaiah Naidu said that if the paper wanted credibility, it should stay away from political affiliation. Chief minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy said he understood that the earlier newspaper from this group was begun out of compulsion, but he believed this one was being launched out of passion. The reference was to Namaste Telangana, the print mouthpiece of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), in which its leader K. Chandrasekhara Rao has a stake.
And the industrialist who part-owns Namaste Telangana and is now launching Metro India, C.L. Rajam, assured his listeners that this paper would strive to remain neutral “as much as possible”. Perhaps to that end, it is published by a company other than the one with a political imprint. A couple of years earlier, another Telangana industrialist started another newspaper and TV channel called The Hans India and HMTV, respectively. Those two have also sought to retain a neutral identity.

Andhra Pradesh’s media landscape has become such a chequerboard of affiliations that the politically aligned mediascape in neighbouring Tamil Nadu pales in comparison. With the impending division of the state any discussion on the media’s role has journalists in the state taking you through a newspaper- and channel-listing of who supports which regional formation. Match that with each channel or newspaper’s caste and political affiliation and you get a clear picture of the political economy of the media. There is the Kamma media which supports the Telugu Desam Party and a united Andhra Pradesh; Reddy media which supports the Congress and YSR Congress and the continuance of a united Andhra Pradesh; and Velama media, which includes one group that is from Andhra and pro-Andhra and another that is from Telangana and neutral.

A number of media outlets have political owners, at least in part. Even the franchise for a channel like Zee 24 Ghantalu belongs to a Congress politician. A TV channel begun earlier this year, Channel 10, has a huge public shareholding, believed to have been organized by the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Other media outlets are owned by scheduled caste leaders affiliated to both the Telugu Desam and the TRS. Even village folk are befuddled by these affiliations: a carpenter in a village in Adilabad district told me plaintively, “Overall we do not know what to believe because each person gives their own news.”

Even if you once grew up in this state and have been visiting it since, nothing prepares you for the way identities have suddenly sharpened. You are told that mostly politicians and businessmen from the Andhra region have been the media owners thus far. A newspaper like Eenadu which has been around for 30 plus years (and would now be considered an Andhra publication) is solidly entrenched all over Telangana. Every village one visited in Karimnagar and Adilabad districts for instance, subscribed to it, with only one reporting that it got a few of a copies of Namaste Telangana, which was begun in 2011. Until the recent emergence of T News and V6 as Telangana channels, the news channels in the state which were launched in a huge burst of expansion and after 2001, are all owned by “Andhras.”

Now you have the curious phenomenon of a newspaper or TV channel which is not even aspiring to cover the whole state. Namaste Telangana editor Allam Narayana says the question of trying to sell it in the other regions does not arise—it is a publication meant to give a voice to the aspiration for a Telangana state. The tagline under the masthead says “Our paper, our state.” Why did people from Telangana not invest in the media before this? He says, “Capitalists are feudal in Telangana. Establishing media is costly. They did not see value in it.”

Does the editorial line have to follow ownership? Potturi Venkateswara Rao, former chairman of the Andhra Press Academy and editor in his time of many publications, says that happens because managements now drive the editorial line. They are divided in their regional affiliations and news coverage is influenced by them. Narayana agrees. “Managements have been aggressive in deciding media policy. There are no editors. They are not prevailing.” You are saying that? You ask him. Yes, he grins.In the sister publication Metro India, Mr. Owner has solved the problem by designating himself Mr. Editor as well.

GoI announced a new ITIR (IT Investment Region) in Hyderabad that will involve >2Lakh crore investment and will create 14Lakh direct and 55Lakh indirect employment.

This is the sad state of affairs. On one side it is desirable to have these centers opened on other parts of Andhra Pradesh (so we don't create future hyderabad like problems) but the reality is that we may lose the investment opportunity to another state if we insist to move this ItIR to less developed regions.

Remember the story about INTEL fab that went to china when CBN asked to have that in Visakhapattanam?

It will be interesting to see what GoI does. I have a feeling that the pawns are moving towards Hyderabad as UT. This will kill all competitors of Congress in AP state including MIM.

Couldn't keep his state together - in face of a ridiculously open Congi conspiracy.
Could't even win in local body polls held recently .
Couldn't keep his "subordinates" from flying off the TDP coop into opposition camps.
Couldn't clobber together a viable alternative to the congi s atleast in his state in all these 9 years sitting in opposition.

And his supporters are dreaming that he will be a kingmaker who will lead an anti congressi front at the national level with the help of loh purush and JJ bereft of Modi ??

Whats the strategy behind running for MP seat from khammam? Its a district in telangana. So my guess is Naidu is preparing to make his bets in T and not give it up.

It seems CBN thinks Khammam is not hard core T area.

but it doesn't matter. if he can win in Khammam, he can claim that T-people still believe in TDP.
IMHO, if CBN and TDP are serious about this, CBN should run from Warangal.

I agree. If it works, CBN should move to Telangana area and contest there while he makes others contest from Andhra area

There is a fair chance for TDP in next elections, as much as YSRCP and congress if not more.

I used to game that YSRCP will never be successful on a wide range in Telangana. I'm not so sure anymore.

I think there is a fair chance Jagan might end up making inroads into pockets of Telangana. enough to give him a toe-hold over the pulse of the region and people. and he's shrewd enough to build from there. or at the very least, act as a king maker with just a few seats.

This is the sad state of affairs. On one side it is desirable to have these centers opened on other parts of Andhra Pradesh (so we don't create future hyderabad like problems) but the reality is that we may lose the investment opportunity to another state if we insist to move this ItIR to less developed regions.

Remember the story about INTEL fab that went to china when CBN asked to have that in Visakhapattanam?

It will be interesting to see what GoI does. I have a feeling that the pawns are moving towards Hyderabad as UT. This will kill all competitors of Congress in AP state including MIM.

Today's Andhrajyothy paper had a story asking the questions I asked

Unless something really changes due to congress moves, TDP and BJP are going to go on a pre-poll alliance.

Lot of plots are going on. Even though it may be too late, I still think this split of state is a treacherous plot and it is going bad to worse everyday.
