Pawan Kalyan, 4 ministers file nomination for AP assembly polls

In a jolt to the ruling Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh, its MLA Ravela Kishore Babu resigned from the party and assembly membership Friday.

He is likely to join the Jana Sena Party of actor Pawan Kalyan, according to sources close to the legislator.

A first time MLA, Ravela served as social welfare minister in the Chandrababu Naidu Cabinet from June 8, 2014 to April 1, 2017.

He was sacked for non-performance and his controversial behaviour.

He was elected from the Prathipadu Assembly constituency in Guntur district but reportedly never maintained cordial relations with the local party leaders.

He has been staying away from party affairs for some time now.

Babu sent his resignation letter to the Assembly Speakers office Friday evening, party sources said.

He also sent a note, addressed to Chandrababu Naidu, to the TDP state office at Guntur, saying he was resigning from the primary membership of the TDP with effect from November 30.

He, however, did not give any reason.

Reacting to the development, state Civil Supplies minister P Pulla Rao, who represents Guntur district, said it was a hasty decision by Babu.

"I tried speaking to him since yesterday but he was not available," Rao added.&nbsp;

TDP MLA resigns from party and assembly membership

Jana Sena party president Pawan Kalyan on Thursday unfurled largest national flag at NTR Stadium in Hyderabad coinciding with the anniversary of India’s First War of Independence of 1857.

The actor-turned-politician also paid tributes to martyrs who lost their lives in the 1857 war.&nbsp;

The flag, measuring 183 feet in length and 122 feet in breadth, was unfurled by Jana Sena party president at an event organised by Vibrants of Kalam, an organisation spreading the ides and vision of former President Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam.

Kalyan pledged Jathiya Samaikyata (national unity) and paid rich tributes to all those who lost their lives in The Revolt of 1857. As a symbol of peace and independence, he also released a white dove as well as tricolor balloons.&nbsp;

Around 10,000 students from various educational institutions were present at the event.&nbsp;

It may be recalled that on June 2, 2016, the Telangana government unfurled a tricolour measuring 108 feet in length and 72 feet in breadth, on a flag post that’s around 290 feet high at Sanjeevaiah Park on the banks of Hussainsagar in the city, making it the largest tricolour to be hoisted. This was followed by a 107-feet tall Indian flag at Attari-Wagah border that was unfurled in April last year by Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju.

Women behind the flag

According to Philvex Hobby Society director B. Padmavathy, who coordinated the flag-making efforts, the tricolour was fastidiously stitched in Khammam by 20 women over a period of 20 days. “The material used is polyester. It is durable and was brought from Surat.&nbsp;

The women who stitched the flag belong to economically backward sections of society. They have put in a lot of hard work to stitch the flag,” Padmavathy said.

So far, the society has stitched flags that flutter at Sanjeevaiah Park, IICT, English and Foreign Languages University, and National Police Academy at Shivrampally here in the city, and the Gannavaram Airport in Vijayawada.

Pawan Kalyan pays tributes to  martyrs of 1857 war, unfurls ‘largest’ national flag

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu announced to begin a constructive agitation from Wednesday to April 6 over the issue of special category status to Andhra Pradesh.

He also urged everyone in the Andhra Pradesh state to "wear black badge and work one extra hour and show their protest", while addressing in the state assembly.

Naidu further said that his party will not make any compromise with state's interest.

"No compromise on state interests, there would be no stepping back on protecting people's rights," Naidu said.

He further added that he is willing to bear any insult for the sake of people and the state while addressing his Telugu Desam party, via teleconference.

"I am willing to bear any insult for the sake of people and the state," he said.

He further attacked Bhartiya Janata Party, YSR Congress party, and Jana Sena Party for not attending the all-party meeting, he said it "exposed their true colours."

"We will again call BJP, YSRCP & Jana Sena Party for the next meeting. If needed, our ministers will go and call them. If they don't attend the meeting they will be seen as traitors by people", he added.

Naidu also cried foul over Centre "counter-attacking" them instead of giving justice.

"Even though MPs displayed their strength by showing blue coloured number signs for admitting No-Confidence motion, it is very undemocratic to adjourn the House like this. I am asking for the justice. Instead of doing that, the centre and the Bharatiya Janata Party are counter-attacking us," Naidu said.

The TDP president also demanded that the Centre must fulfil 19 aspects of AP Reorganisation Act and assurances made in Rajya Sabha including Special Category Status.

"It is a fight concerning 5 crore people of Andhra Pradesh," the chief minister said. "It is linked to sentiments of AP people. I have faced several crisis in my life and overcame them efficiently. It was Telugu Desam Party which got Sarkaria Commission's recommendations implemented. TDP redefined centre-state relations," he added.
