YSR Telangana Party celebrates registration by EC

YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) led by Y.S. Sharmila on Thursday celebrated as the Election Commission registered it as a political party.

The party cadres participated in the celebrations held at the party office and residence of the founder Sharmila in posh Jubilee Hills here.

Amid the playing of loud music and drum beats, several workers were seen dancing. There were also fireworks on the occasion.

Earlier, Sharmila cut a cake to celebrate the occasion along with her mother Y.S. Vijayamma, husband Anil Kumar, and some key party leaders.

Sharmila, sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy thanked the Election Commission for recognizing the party. She said her party would continue to work in a democratic manner to serve the people.

She tweeted that despite all the odds, the YSRTP will work for the people and will remain amidst people. She vowed the follow the path of her late father Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Chief Minister of combined Andhra Pradesh.

The Election Commission has registered YSR Telangana Party as a political party under the Representation of the People Act.

Meanwhile, Sharmila voiced concern over the continuing suicides of farmers in Telangana and slammed Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for doing nothing to prevent these. The YSRTP leader alleged that seven farmers have committed suicides in the state during the last two days due to debts.

She said KCR was talking of ‘Bangaru (golden) Bharat’ but has no concern for the farmers of Telangana who are ending their lives due to debt and other problems created by the wrong policies of the state government.

Sharmila was referring to the slogan given by Telangana Rashtra Samthi (TRS) chief, who is leading efforts to form a national front against BJP.

Sharmila floated YSRTP on July 8 last year and announced the party will strive to bring ‘Rajanna Rajyam’ in Telangana.

‘Rajanna Rajyam’ is a euphemism for the rule of Rajasekhara Reddy, who launched several pro-poor and welfare schemes when he was the Chief Minister of the combined state between 2004 and 2009.

Sharmila was earlier active in YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) floated in 2011 by her brother Jagan Mohan Reddy after resigning from the Congress party.

She admitted political differences with Jagan Mohan Reddy, who opposed her entry into Telangana politics.

The first edition of the ‘Telugu Indian Idol’ reality singing show is throwing up some pleasant surprises quite early in the day.

And it’s taken just a day for one talented contestant to leave not just the viewers, but even judge and renowned music composer S. Thaman in complete awe of her singing skills.

“I’ll tell A.R. (Rahman) to compose a song with this girl,” exclaimed Thaman. As ‘Telugu Indian Idol’ is set to premiere on February 25, the wait to find the region’s next singing sensation got a whole lot exciting.

It is 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kovvuri from Hyderabad who wowed Thaman by singing the hit song ‘Yadike’ from the film ‘Kadali’ in her audition. Striking all the right notes right from the word go, this terrific teenager was pitch-perfect as she looked her confident best. Along with the heartwarming praise that followed, Vaishnavi also ended up as the winner of the Golden Mic.

Sharing his thoughts on Vaishnavi’s performance, hit music composer and ‘Telugu Indian Idol’ judge Thaman said, “Some contestants just belong on the big stage. They have that sheer charisma and skill to hold your attention and leave you spellbound. I wasn’t expecting to see such a performance so soon, but that’s how talent can surprise you.

“I really hope that she goes a long way in this competition and look forward to seeing her make waves in the world of music. That said, there are many more Vaishnavi’s whose performances I can’t wait to see. If such is the caliber of artists right on the first day, the judges and viewers are in for a very melodious journey in the days to come.”

Using ‘Nagin’ drill, Samantha’s trainer assesses her mobility

South diva Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a fitness enthusiast, seems to be the happiest when she is hard at work. During a recent workout session, the ‘Rangasthalam’ actress was assessed for her body mobility by her trainer.

Samantha, who took to her Instagram, posted the video of her being tested for her mobility, wrote, “My trainer is crazier than yours”.

What Samantha’s trainer Junaid Shaikh calls the ‘Nagin Mobility Drill’, has the actress trying hard to dodge the stick as the trainer moves it all over her body. The super-fit actress is seen easily giving the test, as she performs the drill.

Samantha is one of the most hardworking actresses, who always motivate her fans to stay fit, with her videos from the gym.

Samantha’s last appearance on the screen was in the Allu Arjun-starrer ‘Pushpa: The Rise’, as she had performed for a special number ‘Oo Antava’. With multiple movies in the pipeline, Samantha also doesn’t miss working out and traveling, which she mentions as her stress-busters.

Samantha will be seen as Queen Shakuntala in her upcoming mythology-based movie ‘Shakuntalam’, while her Tamil movie ‘Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal’ is in the making.

“I am amazed at the scope of her versatility on character portrayal”, Neeta said, “It was never Samantha on set but only Shakuntala”.

Days after the first look poster of Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s ‘Shakuntala’ look came out, ace designer Neeta Lulla’s customized jewelry is in the discussion.

On the occasion of actor Nani’s birthday, the makers of his upcoming movie ‘Ante Sundaraniki’ released a special glimpse titled ‘Barththday Homam’ (Birthday special religious ritual).

The glimpse from the Nani-starrer hints at the witty plot of the movie.

The ‘Barththday Homam’ video starts off with Sundaram (Nani) and his family members performing a religious event. Back-to-back religious rituals frustrate Sundaram, as he clearly expresses the same to his mother.

Sundaram’s mother tries to explain that according to his stars, he seems to be having dangers ahead in his life, and hence these remedies to please the Gods.

The video seems to be hinting at the kind of role Nani has portrayed in the movie, which is expected to be a funny one.

Nani will essay the role of ‘Kasthuri Poorna Venkata Sesha Sai Pawana Rama Sundara Prasad’ (a long, traditional name), while the lead actress Nazriya Nazim will be seen as Leela in ‘Ante Sundaraniki’.

Vivek Athreya, who came to fame for his super hit movies ‘Mental Madhilo’ and ‘Brochevarevaru Raa’ is the director for ‘Ante Sundaraniki’, while it is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar under the Mythri Movie Makers banner.

The Nani and Nazriya-starrer will hit the big screens on June 10.
