Former Minister Kanna Lakshmi Narayana had a great influence in the Guntur Constituency and as well as the state politics. This was his sweet past. He did not miss any opportunity to criticize and condemn the current Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu back then. As the 2014 Election date neared, his attack on Chandrababu got more intense and severe. Kanna was hoping that YSRCP would be forming the government.

But shockingly after TDP formed the government in Andhra Pradesh and Chandrababu becoming the CM, Kanna immediately joined the BJP camp which was an ally to TDP. This protected Kanna from the wrath of Chandrababu who had overlooked it due to his alliance with BJP. On realizing that BJP wouldn’t have any future in AP Politics, Kanna is busy making preparations to leave the BJP party. Close sources to the former minister said that‘Kanna has felt that it’s not any safer to be in BJP given the straining ties between TDP and BJP’.

Kanna is seriously considering a pending proposal from the YSRCP party. It looks like Kanna would soon leave the BJP and jump into YSRCP in the near future!

The Chinese Space Agency stated that it is aiming to bring down the satellite launch costs as low as Rs 3.27 Lakh/Kg. The current space industry is estimated to drive a $350 Billion business in the coming few years. ISRO has been a prime launching platform for more than 25 countries. ISRO has launched 209 satellites (in mini, nano, micro and standard sizes) for 28 countries.

The recent move to reduce the launch costs from Chinese Space Agency is perceived as its aspiration to capture the satellite launch business. Currently, a satellite launch on Arianespace’s rocket is around $100 Million, while a satellite launch on Space X is costing $60 million. ISRO has charged an average of $3 Million per satellite between 2013 and 2015. Space X is trying to bring down the launch costs to $2,500 per Kg in future with its ‘partially reusable rockets’ that are currently in the testing stage.india and china reduces launch costs

The Antrix Corporation Ltd., the commercial wing of ISRO has announced that it is ready to compete with the recent move from Chinese Space Agency, and will likely reduce the prices to further capture the satellite launch market.

Palestinian women finally made a breakthrough. The women are bearing kids, even while their husbands are serving their sentence in prisons for decades together. With the development of technology and advancement in Medical Science, this has been possible. For many people who wonder how could a woman get ‘legally’ pregnant with her husband in the jail for past 10 years, the Medical Science has an answer.

It was the year 2004. A prisoner named Rahimustaha first proposed the idea of ‘smuggling’ his semen. Later he discussed this idea when his wife visited him. He stated her, ‘If we remain silent, who would fight for our nation? For our people? Who would stand against these atrocities?’. He finally convinced her wife to smuggle his semen.

He later shared the idea with his most trusted co-prisoners in the jail. Many of them followed his path and smuggled their semen through their wives without being noticed by the Jail Authorities. As a result, in the past three years, the prisoners’ wives gave birth to 32 children. The women say, ‘we look our husbands in these children’ in an emotional manner.

Religion is one of the most powerful weapons in Indian Politics. Indian politicians drag ‘religion’ during their election campaign to win the votes on a communal basis. Similarly, the same religion is used as a ‘synonym’ for carrying terrorist activities. Worldwide terror groups often claim that they are fighting ‘Jihad – Holy Fight’ to protect their religion.

Even the history shows the same. Thousands of people were killed in the name of religion. Anyone who is well versed in Tamil Nadu’s history knows about the disputes between Shaivites and Vaishanavites, which are indeed a part of Hinduism.

RSS has been labeled as ‘religious and communal group’, which takes pride in protecting the legacy of Lord Rama. Though BJP was also labeled on the same lines, the party is trying to come out of the religious imprint on them. But now, it looks as if Rahul Gandhi has joined this league.

But now, it looks like Congress has realized its mistake and is changing its mind. One has to wait and see how far the ‘Shiva’ mantra would favor Congress in the 2019 General Elections.
