Political Diary

"I will not leave Ramoji Rao. No second thought at all. I was elected with the votes of poor people. I cannot sit quiet. I’m ready to lose my life as well in this fight. Ramoji Rao is a fraud. He feels that he is monopoly.

He feels that he is living in 1400 acre land in a mansion and none can pluck his hair. He is also feeling that no police can arrest him on any charge and his own security guards will not allow any one. He feels ‘after-all’ MPs can do nothing to him. He felt that he can pierce needles in my eyes in last elections. But he couldn’t.

God stayed on the side of Dharma. That is proved again. Adharma will go to dogs. I kept quiet for all these days after elections, as I was in the grief of YSR’s death. I will expose every inch of Ramoji’s frauds in bigger way than before", said Vundavalli Arun Kumar.

He also said, "There are many from other parties those are supporting me personally although they speak against me in media. I know many of them. The people those stand beside me in this mission will embrace dharma. And those who will fight will embrace adharma".

"Ramoji himself said openly to media that is the owner of Rs 15,000 Cr and hasn’t paid a tax of Re.1 from many years. He admitted his mistake openly, paid some penalty and why they find mistake in my allegation", added Vundavalli.

Vundavalli also said that Ramoji is a criminal on par with Dawood Ibrahim, the notorious criminal who took place in top-10 influential persons in the world. No government is being able to touch him from years. Similarly, Ramoji is very powerful here and neither state nor central government can touch him as long as a group of politicians support him just because he has News Paper and Rs 15000 Cr.

For the first time in his life, the Eenadu Group chairman, Ch Ramoji Rao, is carrying a Congress Chief Minister over his shoulders. Keeping aside his political convictions, which he had even admitted in the court, Ramoji is backing Chief Minister K Rosaiah from the critics.

It is clearly and easily understood that Ramoji Rao, through his columns in Eenadu is giving direction to the Chief Minister Rosaiah to act on various issues. The State government’s decision to request the CBI to probe into the Obulapuram mining irregularities was one such a decision that came from the Eenadu group.

Even when Jagan met Rosaiah in the MPs meeting with the Chief Minister, the report appeared in Eenadu gives greater image to Rosaiah. The daily stood as a strong cover for Rosaiah from Jagan and that is visible in the lettering of the report.

Eenadu carried similar supportive reports for late Dr N T Rama Rao and for some time, N Chandrababu Naidu, but never there was such a positive reporting for a Congress chief minister.

In the game for survival, morals and convictions take back seat and it is proved in the case of Ramoji Rao.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao’s announcement that he would commence his fast unto death from November 29 did not cause any ripples in the political circles or among the general public. Every common man of Telangana and other parts of the State are well aware that he will not be sitting for fasting. Even he he starts, he will not be able to survive for much longer tenue.

The TRS president expected that there would be an uproar among the people and he would get repeated requests from Telangana writers, intellectuals and employees asking him to withdraw the fast. But there was only a bleak response from and few appeals from the Telangana Congress leaders,who were called "Vruddha Simhalu" who cannot bite or even move, nobody took him seriously.

MP from Guntur Rayapati Sambasiva Rao said the settlers were not afraid of KCR’s threats and fasts. They are very strong in Hyderabad and do not want the state to be split at all, he said. Apparently realising that there was hardly any impact of his fast announcement, KCR is learnt to have decided to tour different parts of Telangana to stir up the emotions of the people on the Telangana issue. But it is unlikely that there would be much response to him.

The Telangana Rastra Samithi chief, K Chandrasekhar Rao, is getting ready for his ‘historical’ indefinite hunger strike to achieve statehood for Telangana. His hunger strike would be on the lines of Potti Sriramulu, whose life sacrifice created Andhra State, from the composite Madras State.

Like Potti Sriramulu, the TRS chief too is getting ready to sacrifice his life and secure the Statehood for the region. He would be remembered forever by the people of Telangana region if his sacrifice brings statehood for the region.

The TRS chief has finally selected a 50-acre plot at Siddhipet for his hunger strike. A massive dais will be constructed there with all facilities. The venue would be live with people visiting the place in large numbers every day. The TRS ranks are getting ready with other arrangements like drinking water, food and first aid facilities for the visitors.

A handful of engineers too are being deployed to the venue for its design to be attractive and at the same time to inspire people for the cause.

According to the available information, KCR would launch his agitation either on November 29 or 30. Before that, he would tour entire region touching important towns to seek support from the people for the cause.

He had already alerted the Governor, Chief Minister, Prime Minister, President and the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, about his fast. It is now to be seen how far he would succeed in mobilizing peoples’ support for his hunger strike.
