Most of MPs, MLAs absent when BJP new state chief taking charge

The deep rooted factionalism exposed during the `selection’ of Telangana’s new state president, seems to be continuing even after N Ramachandra Rao taking charge as the new party chief. The absence of most of the party’s MPs and MLAs when he was formally taking charge at state party office on Saturday, indicating lack of consensus prevailed within the party.

Most prominently, those who brought pressure on the party high-command to consider them as the state party chief, were not present. They include the party’s OBC Morcha national president Dr K Lakshman, MPs Etala Rajender and D. Aravind. Even Union Minister of State Bandi Sanjay Kumar was not present.

The fact that key leaders were absent from the program has become a topic of discussion in political circles. Out of 8 MPs and 8 MLAs in the state, only Union Minister Kishan Reddy, DK Aruna and BJPLP leader Aleti Maheshwar Reddy were present. Only MLC Anji Reddy and former MLA NVSS Prabhakar participated in the rally organized from Gunpark to BJP office.

After taking charge from Kishan Reddy as the state president, Ramachandra Rao announced that they would all work together. On the issue of resignation submitted by three-time MLA Raja Singh, he maintained silence. He only said that the party high command  will take care of the Raja Singh matter.

Moreover, indicating his preference to act firmly against Raja Singh, he made it clear that there is no loss if anyone leaves the party because they do not like the BJP’s policies and decisions. He said that the BJP never cheats those who trust the party and that getting the post is proof of this.

Ramchandra Rao was furious over Minister Ponnam Prabhakar’s comments that the BJP has given the post of state president to the OC and left the BCs aside. He questioned how he could say that BCs were left aside just because he was given an opportunity as the state chief? He said that Prime Minister Modi is a BC and BCs are the vote bank of his party.

He challenged CM Revanth Reddy to resign if he had the courage and make BC the CM, otherwise he would resign from the post of president. He said that there are many opportunities in the party and that priority will be given to BCs.

9 AP Universities without Vice Chancellors for more than a year

Vice Chancellors are key to the governance of universities. But nine universities in AP have been running under the rule of in-charges for more than a year. Those who were appointed as VCs during Jaganmohan Reddy’s tenure resigned after the change of government. After that, the government took some time to issue the notification.

Finally, on September 9 last year, it issued a notification for the filling of VC posts for 17 universities. VCs were appointed for Andhra, JNTUK, Yogi Vemana, Vikrama Simhapuri, Rayalaseema, JNTU Anantapur, Padmavati Mahila, Krishna, and Nannaya universities. However, Phaniti Prakash Babu, who came from Hyderabad University and was appointed as the VC of Vemana University, resigned and left when a better opportunity came his way.

As a result, VCs had to be appointed for 9 universities again. These include Acharya Nagarjuna, Sri Krishna Devaraya, JNTU Vizianagaram, Dravida, Urdu, YSR Architecture, Andhra Kesari, Sri Venkateswara, and Vemana Universities. There are criticisms that the governance is flawed due to the lack of regular VCs for key universities.

The UGC formed search committees for Sri Krishna Devaraya, JNTU Vizianagaram, Acharya Nagarjuna, and Dravidian Universities with new nominees. The names recommended by these committees have been received by the government. Meanwhile, the government is planning to announce the names of VCs for all nine universities at once. This is likely to take another two to three months.

In many universities, the members of the governing councils are also those appointed by the YSRCP government. The vice chairmen in the Council of Higher Education are still those appointed by the Jagan government.

The coalition government has set a target of bringing state universities into the top 100 in the world. As part of this, it is believed that if professors working in IITs and NITs are brought in and appointed as VCs, the universities will be made excellent.

In this order, most of the nine universities initially announced were given opportunities to outsiders. With this, the government has decided to appoint VCs to the remaining universities in the same manner. As a result, there is a serious delay in the appointment of VCs.

RK Sagar Gears Up for Big-Screen Debut with ‘The 100’; Trailer Launched by Pawan Kalyan

popular television small-screen actor RK Sagar is joining the fray with his soon-to-be-released action movie The 100. Having impressed the small screen audience, Sagar is now set to impress cine-goers with his strong performances in this gripping police drama.
