Eenadu Article about Jagan

The main article in Eenadu today (6th May) is about the atrocities / irregularities of Mr Jagan and his followers with a title "Kanda (muscle).. Kasu (money).. Khakhi (police)" indicating that they are using all possible means to get elected and Jagan followers have distributed money to the voters twice already and are going to distribute once again. Also the police are implicitly helping him by not checking the vehicles of Jagan's group and even turning blind eye to the manhandling / atrocities of his group.

As an outsider, I understand the following from various news sources

- Jagan is not a member of ruling party now. In fact he came out of the party after fighting with the top leadership. The Congress party has put a sitting minister against him and his own uncle against his mother. All the ministers of the government are camping in Kadapa and Pulivendula canvassing agaist them. Mr Chiranjeevi and Chief Minister have also canvassed vigorously against him. Mr Chandrababu Naidu and his patry are also canvassing against him very vigorously. Several companies of central reserve police were moved there and some more coming today.

In these circumstances, how

- An individual though he is the ex-chiefminister son can exercise his power with Khakhi particularly when the central paramilitary forces are deployed. Does it mean that the ruling party is in cahoots with him though they are opposing him for visibility sake?
- Coming to money, it became common in India nowadays to distribute money by all parties which is a disgusting practice. In Kadapa also all the parties are doing the same. Jagan for his survival and others for their defeat. So this cannot be a bigger factor as the ruling party will have higher amount of resources and motivation to defeat him. If not the same question will again come up as to whether they are opposing for opposing sake.
- Coming to muscle power, his uncle and the minister contesting in Kadapa are also equally powerful in that area so this also will be countered by them (again this is a common disgusting feature in India now).

It is a known fact that Eenadu is against Rajasekhara Reddy and his family particularly Jagan. Atleast they should use common sense in writing this kind of articles. In fact they are making him a bigger leader than he is. The parties should have ignored him when he resigned from Congress so that he could have faded away like Chiranjeevi's PRP.

Anna Hazare’s Janlokpal Bill – Are we looking at Orwellian type of society?

India is in frenzy for the last 10 days with the anti-corruption rhetoric of Mr Anna Hazare. This is similar to the one witnessed sometime back over the issue of bringing back the black money from Swiss banks. The black money issue was first coined by Bharatiya Janata Party and later taken up by Mr Anna Hazare and Mr Ramdev Baba apart from sundry others. What we are witnessing now is not dissimilar to the earlier issue. Anti-corruption rhetoric is not new either in India or abroad. It was Mr Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India who declared that a corrupt person should be hanged from the nearest lamp post around 100 years ago. We are yet to see a single hanging. It was taken up by the successive prime ministers but nothing has happened. In fact, all the governments starting from the first government post-independence have seen some scandal or other. The lamentable fact is nothing has happened in any of these cases be it the Jeeps scandal (of the first government) of th

Musings of an unknown citizen

Alliances and More Looks like the main opposition party is a real hurry to get into power. The party which terms itself as “A party with a difference” is proving itself to be really different this time. They are ready to enter into an alliance with whatever and whoever ready to join them like the yet to be born party like Jana Sena started by Mr Pawan Kalyan (brother of Mr Chiranjeevi a Tollywood matinee idol). Pawan Kalyan himself is one of the leading actors in Tollywood which is dominated by the Mega family (Mega Star was / is an petname for Chiranjeevi). Jana Sena Party has been only announced days back and does not even have a proper office of its own. However the country's main opposition party is ready to join in an alliance with them. Similarly they went and allied themselves with 4-5 minor parties in Tamil Nadu as both the ruling AIADMK and opposition DMK have at the moment not allied with anybody now. Infact people in Tamil Nadu thinks now that great lady of AIAD

Sumathi Satakam - Lessons for Modern Management

“Erakumi Kasugayala Durakumi bandhujanula doshamu summi Parakumi ranamuna Meerakumi guruvunagna medina Sumathi”   The English translation is something like this Do not collect unripe fruits Do not point out errors of relatives Do not run away from battle Do not go above the order given by your teacher   This is a simple poem taught to the young students in Andhra giving them four important principles in life.   The first line asks the students not to collect unripe fruits when collecting the fruits for immediate consumption. Many types of unripe fruits taste different from the ripe one. For example a ripe mango tastes totally different from a raw mango. By collecting the unripe fruits one will be wasting the resources as they may not be useful and may be thrown away.   The second line talks about not pointing out the errors of relatives as this will alienate them. By alienating the relatives we may not be able to expect any help from the
