Media Makes Quick Buck On Purandeshwari

               Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development Daggubati Purandeswari, who was in the news last month for spreading a negative campaign against Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, was back in the media on Friday for being awarded doctorate degree by the Padmavathi Mahila University in Tirupati. The doctorate degree was presented by the Andhra Pradesh governor E S L Narasimhan.
                 What is more interesting is that she made the media richer by several thousand rupees. Suddenly all the newspapers carried huge advertisements issued by various educational institutons and even her family members, eulogizing her great contribution to the nation and the state. Several corporate colleges like Narayana and Chaitanya issued big advertisements not only in the print media, but also in the electronic media, praising her. Not only that, the doctorate degree presentation ceremony was telecast by several channels, of course at a price.
              One wonders whether this publicity stunt was a precursor to her attempts to get into the hot seat in the state sooner or later. And Purandareshwari had already made it clear that she was not averse to becoming the chief minister!

KCR Blamed With Obama’s Speech

              If there is one man who has become the talk of the Telugus for the wrong reasons, he is KCR. With the Telangana bomb he has detonated, the result of it has been nothing but hatred and loss to Andhra Pradesh. In the name of sentiment, KCR has been exploiting the weakness of the Telangana people and achieving his political motives.
             While on one hand, the investors and NRIs are already a mile away due to the weak government and the bullying T-seekers, here is another update. The speech of US President Obama who is pepping up the Americans to fight the Bangalore challenge has brought in a disdain to the Telugus.
              They are furious that Hyderabad got hammered due to KCR and all investments and projects have been going to Bangalore. Otherwise, Hyderabad was in a much better league than any other city to make it to the top. Today, not only has the state of Andhra Pradesh become a political joke to other developing states but it has gone to show that how the Telugu people are bowing to the whims and fancies of one greedy political leader and spelling their doom. Shameful but true…
