Devender Goud likely to enter into Chiru train

Rumors in political circles are spreading wild that Telugu Desam leader T Devender Goud on the Telengana issue. Mr Goud was isolated in the five-member committee meeting on the Telangana issue, which was held in Vizianagaram district on Wednesday. However, Desam spokesman and Rajya Sabha member Mr M.V. Mysoora Reddy, refuted the charges that Mr Goud was singled out in the five-member committee meeting. Grapevine has it that Mr Goud plans to join hands with megastar Chiranjeevi. However, he said this may happen if the Desam chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, does not spell out a clear-cut decision on the state’s bifurcation and the megastar Chiranjeevi takes pro- Telangana stand. For the time being, Mr Goud will put pressure on Mr Naidu. Mr Goud who was reportedly annoyed with the Desam T-committee deliberations, kept himself away from media glare on Thursday. He did not even visit the NTR Bhavan. Senior leaders, Mr Ch. Rajeswara Rao and Mr E. Peddi Reddy, called on Mr Goud at his residence. Sources said Mr Goud also expressed his displeasure over the Desam chief's time-buying attitude. Mr Goud reportedly told his colleagues that the Desam should take a pro-Telangana stance, before Chiranjeevi launches his party. If TD does not take a stand now it will affect the party’s prospects in Telangana, Mr Goud felt. Interestingly, after meeting Mr Goud, Mr Rajeswara Rao raised his voice over the Telangana issue. He said, “Separation is inevitable. I believe in an integrated state, but considering the aspirations of the people of Telangana, I support separate statehood. Telugu Desam has to take this line. There is no other alternative.” He said he had mentioned the reasons for a separate Telangana state in his report, which was submitted to the Desam chief by Mr Devender.

Chiranjeevi can’t be a challenge

NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy has made it clear that the party to be launched by Telugu film star Chiranjeevi would not pose any challenge to the Congress in the forthcoming Assembly elections in the State.

“We are unfazed by any such threats and irrespective of whether he launches the party or not there would be someone with whom the Congress has to fight. We will do so and win in not less than 230 seats in the Assembly and 36 seats in the Lok Sabha,” the Chief Minister told mediapersons here on Thursday.

To a question, he said the party would opt for holding the Assembly polls, which is originally due in May 2009, in February or March by advancing it by a few months, if the Lok Sabha polls were held then. If the latter elections were advanced to November or December this year, “I don’t think we need to advance the Assembly polls too”.

However, he agreed that the Election Commission had the discretion of deciding the poll date if there was less than six months for the completion of the Assembly term.

Defending champions

He said since 2004, the ruling Congress had been winning polls held for municipalities, panchayats, cooperative bodies, water users associations and byelections in the Telengana region despite challenges of various parties. “We will repeat the performance as we are the defending champions in Andhra Pradesh,” he claimed.

Special Correspondent from Hyderabad adds: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president D. Srinivas too said that the proposed entry of Chiranjeevi into politics would not have any impact on the party.

Stating that the political scenario had changed a lot since the day N. T. Rama Rao floated the Telugu Desam Party and rode to power within nine months, Mr. Srinivas said, at that time there was a politicial vacuum and no alternative to Congress. “TDP took that place and the general resentment against the Congress worked in its favour,” he observed.

At a press conference, he recalled how not all film stars had succeeded in politics. “Not everyone can become NTR or MGR,” he said and referred to the fate of another star Sivaji Ganesan, who failed to click in politics.

“There was a lot of pressure on another actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao to join politics, but he preferred to stay away,” the APCC president added.

On Chief Minister’s remark that Congress will go it alone in the next elections, Mr. Srinivas said there was nothing wrong in it. “Fighting elections on our own is not new. But that does not mean that our doors are closed to other parties. We would like our old friends to be with us,” he noted.
