State Congress chief & Jagan’s sister YS Sharmila also took a dig at her brother, demanding he resign if he 'lacks boldness' to attend assembly & 'question NDA govt’s anti-people policies'.
Weeks ahead of the Andhra Pradesh polls on 13 May, the volunteers had come under the Election Commission’s scrutiny following complaints that they doubled as agents of YSRCP.
He intended to transfer the shares (Jagan’s own property), in addition to Rs 200 crore he, directly or through their mother, gave to his sister during the past decade.
A humble laddu shook politics this week. Add India’s richest Hindu temple and beef panic to the mix, and things quickly became inflammatory.
And Andhra Pradesh...
Tirupati temple trust’s executive officer says tankers of contaminated ghee were turned away after samples were tested. Oppn says CM 'making controversy from rejected stock’s test report'.
Andhra CM Naidu alleges the ghee used for the laddus was adulterated with animal fat during ex-CM Jagan's regime. Jagan points out samples were taken after Naidu took over as CM.
TDP leaders allege these civil servants were reporting directly to their ‘political bosses’, bypassing department heads to aid YSRCP politically and financially.
Ex-CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, arrested in May 2012 on charges of accumulating disproportionate assets, has been out on bail since September 2013. SC has now pulled up CBI for delay in trial.
Many of those kept waiting are seen as having enjoyed patronage of former YSRCP govt. Analysts, however, point out this is counter-productive to CM Naidu's own vision of 'rebuilding' state.
The BCCI decision has given new life to the lunatic fringe of the Hindu Right. It now has the confidence to force policy changes in accordance with its communal campaigns.
The latest comment comes as New Delhi and Washington have yet to sign a trade agreement. India’s purchase of Russian oil has reduced, but Moscow remains top source for crude.
If deal goes through, Greece will be 2nd foreign country to procure vehicle. Morocco was first; TATA Group has set up manufacturing unit there with minimum 30 percent indigenous content.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
