‘Mega’ expectations

Chiranjeevi’s entry into politics is quite welcome. He may be a novice to politics like NTR but he would be quite successful as he has pledged to do his best without succumbing to caste politics and to pressure tactics of any kind. People have lot of expectations about him and hope that he would be harbinger of peace, prosperity, and communal harmony. He should allot seats to most deserving candidates among women, who would not be guided by their spouses. This should be done without any fear or favour to earn a good name for his party.

Tap solar power

Power shortage has been a perennial problem during summer. The government and Transco officials are facing much difficulty in distributing the available power to meet the needs of the public, more particularly farmers. Power-cut is inevitable even after purchasing power at higher rate from other states. As majority of consumers (other than agriculture) are establishments, shopping complexes, hotels, corporate hospitals and industries, they can tap and rely on solar power, at least during summer season. It is a better alternative energy source though it is expensive at the time of installation of equipment.

TTD Board members should quit

The people have lost faith in the TTD Board in the light of the recent vigilance report, suspension of employees in the ‘dollar case’ and their subsequent reinstatement. The media, by not interviewing the top investigating officer, could not give a clear picture. The board members should quit their posts, as they could not take care of the Lord’s jewellery. The temple should be unparalleled spiritual centre and non-controversial holy place.

Electoral alliances

There are reports in the media that the TRS and the TDP are inching towards an electoral alliance. Even TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who is known for his bitter remarks against TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, is maintaining restraint. Sometime ago, when T. Devender Goud quit the TDP and launched a party, there were reports that Mr. Naidu called on the TRS president. These incidents clearly indicate that the TDP is leaving no stone unturned to come back to power.
