Chandrababu demands Jagan govt to slash taxes on fuel

Amaravati, May 23 Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president and former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday demanded that the Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government in Andhra Pradesh cut state-level taxes on petrol and diesel following the Centre’s move to slash excise duty and similar action by some states.

Naidu lauded the Central government for providing relief to the people by reducing the prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas. He also welcomed the Centre’s call to the state governments to decrease their state-level taxes to reduce the burden on the people.

The TDP chief demanded that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government in Andhra Pradesh decrease state-level taxes on fuel. He pointed out that Rajasthan, Odisha and Tamil Nadu governments have reduced their respective taxes on petrol and diesel.

Naidu noted that the Centre decreased fuel rates by Rs 8 per litre on petrol and by Rs 6 on diesel. Many states also responded to the Centre’s call. What wrong had the people of Andhra Pradesh committed that the YSRCP regime was not providing any additional relief on its part, he asked.

Chandrababu Naidu deplored that instead of reducing taxes to provide relief, the state government was imposing new burdens on the people by slapping new taxes. He said this had resulted in skyrocketing the prices of essential commodities. The life of the common man became miserable under the YSRCP rule.

Claiming that Andhra Pradesh stood number one in the country in development during the TDP rule, he said under the YSRCP government, the state stands number one in high prices of petrol and diesel.

Payal Rohtagi calls Kangana Ranaut ‘rude’ and also targets ‘Dhaakad’ box office collection

Mumbai, May 23 TV actress Payal Rohatgi, who recently took a dig at Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and unfollowed her on social media has again targeted the latter.

Payal recently attended the screening of Kangana’s film ‘Dhaakad’ and later she said that the actor was rude to her.

Payal said that she went for the premiere as the film is produced by Sohail Maklai, who is a friend of her fiance, Sangram Singh.

She added that despite all her efforts to talk to the ‘Dhaakad’ actress, she was quite rude towards her.

She took to her Instagram handle and while praising Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel, she wrote: “Rangoli you are such a good human being. But your sister was not happy to see me. She was sulking.”

While talking to the media, she mentioned: “Kangana was giving wrong interviews to justify her winner of ‘Lock Upp’. I have to be honest with my conscience. There are people behind the camera who invest their hard-earned money in a film.

“I went for them as Sohail Maklai Ji is a friend of Sangram. In my post when I said her film should flop as she was the one using me for her reality show by calling me badass and then on finale day saying that I used to bully the winner. Because that was the talk before she asked the winner to do a standup act in the finale.

“I made an effort but she was not happy to see me and was rude.”

Calling the film’s box office collections ‘sad’, Payal indirectly mocked Munawar Faruqui and his fan following.

She also commented on how neither the winner of ‘Lock Upp’ nor his fans promoted the movie.

She wrote: “The one who got 18 lakh votes did not promote the film and even his BOTS did not watch the film.”

Anil Ravipudi reveals Sreeleela will play Balakrishna’s daughter

Hyderabad, May 23 Director Anil Ravipudi was asked about the details of his film with Balakrishna, ‘NBK108’ while promoting his upcoming film, ‘F3’.

Anil, exclusively mentions that ‘PellisandaD’ actress Sreeleela will play a key role in the film as Balakrishna’s daughter, which has only added to the buzz surrounding the film.

Despite not giving away too much, Anil discussed the characterization and role of Balakrishna, who will appear as actress Sreeleela’s father in their highly-anticipated next.

According to Anil, the film is character-driven, with Balakrishna playing a pivotal role. Balakrishna’s character has been designed with a tinge of comedy, with the action scenes of the film receiving more attention.

While Anil’s forte is a comedy, he says he is willing to take a chance on a never-before attempt at Balakrishna’s film.

“I haven’t been this giddy in a long time. Going offbeat and portraying Balakrishna in the way that the makers have portrayed the heroes of ‘Arjun Reddy’, ‘Pokiri’, or ‘Gabbar Singh’ is a challenge for me. I mean that his presence in the film will be based on a character,” explained Anil.

Balakrishna is currently working on an upcoming film directed by Gopichand Mallineni, while Anil is awaiting the release of his recent directorial ‘F3’.
