FLORAL TRIBUTES TO NTR- THE  LIVING GOD NTR - FILM ACTOR Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, affectionately known as “ANNA GARU”, during his life time touched millions of hearts across the globe with his multifarious acting skills and very popular in the role of “LORD KRISHNA”. In fact Indian cinema could not imagine anyone except NTR in Lord Krishna role. He lived in other mythological like Rama, Duryodhan, Bhim, Shiv etc with same ease. NTR had clearly exhibited his dominance in Indian cinema particularly in telugu film industry by showing variation in acting not only in mythological but also in social, Jana pada movies. Even after 22 years of demise, still he is the most popular actor of Indian cinema. Though his political carrier is just 14 years, within short span of time he made a mark for himself and always remain on top with clean image. NTR - WELL MEANING HUMAN BEING Any calamity in AP or any national emergency, NTR used to be in forefront and lead the entire tel...

Glimpses of BGR social media campaign during 2014 elections  8/12/2013, 11:08am Guruva Reddy Bonthu In 1982 there was political vacuum in state & NTR encased on it by creating new vote bank called BCs. He was successful in bringing anti congress forces into one fold. Now also similar situation is being seen, but along with TDP, YSRCP & TRS are also in race.

Leadership emerges from people not from legacy. 4/8, 8:09pm Guruva Reddy Bonthu Dear friends, Based on whatever political understanding I have, I feel the campaign can focus more on NTR & his connection with masses (welfare programs), with old captions like " Adavariki asthi akku-Anna ga...

POLITICS AROUND ANIMALS – IS IT VISION 2050 & MISSION 2019? PREAMBLE: Looks like strategies of playing with caste, creed, community, gender, religion, religious minorities, class etc for extracting votes and coming to power have come to an end and political parties are looking for green pastures and innovative strategies. The recent announcement of ban on sale of cattle and camels for non agricultural purpose may be one such strategy to divide and consolidate vote banks integrated with livelihoods and sentiments, revolving around cattle. ANIMAL RIGHTS & LAWS: In fact India is blessed with well defined constitution and lucky to have one of the most comprehensive set of animal protection laws in the world.  Article 51(G) of constitution states that “It shall be the duty of every Indian to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers & wildlife, and to have compassion for living creatures”. Keeping the constitutional provis...

Estate vs. Custodianship- Relevance in Democracy & Governance It is very well defined in our constitution & judiciary that the democratically elected and constitutionally held positions have to keep the country's integrity and sovereignty intact and effectively perform role of custodian and safe guard the national property against all evil forces. The oath of office and secrecy taken before getting into these positions by politicians, bureaucrats, judiciary, others, clearly define the respective position's role as custodian and attorney. Unfortunately what is happening in the country day in day out is very different from democratic defined principles. We come across so many incidents of lands being allotted at through away prices, contracts are awarded to kith and kin at escalated rates, huge scaling up of estimates in infra & development projects and many more.  Under the cover of shared responsibility, certain decisions are taken at cabinet level with su...
