Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi [RG]today began his 10 km-long ‘padyatra’ from a village in the district to highlight the issues faced by farmers and women Self-Help Groups.
RG’s visit, the first after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, is being seen as an effort to strengthen the party’s base in the state after it drew a blank in the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections held in 2014.
The ruling TDP in the state and YSR Congress, had yesterday hit out at Rahul, blaming the Congress for bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh and the “gross injustice” to Semaandhra.
RG who has reached out to farmers during similar visits and foot marches in states like Punjab+Maharashtra+Telangana+Rajasthan, kicked off his padayatra from Obuladevara Cheruvu village to Mamilakuntapalli, a three-km stretch, where he is scheduled to have an interaction with farmers, weavers and students.
He kicked off his yatra from the village where Indira Gandhi had addressed a meeting in 1979.
During the course of his yatra, he would hold interactions in three villages of the district with farmers, MGNREGS workers and with women SHGs.
The leader would also meet the family of farmer Harinath Reddy, who allegedly committed suicide.
Later, he will go to Puttaparthy and receive representations from people, besides holding interaction with senior Congress leaders.

चुनावी फायदे के लिए तेलंगाना गठन को केबिनेट ने हरी झंडी क्या दी कि मंत्रियों के इस्तीफों का दौर शुरू हो गया:चिरंजीवी+सूर्य रेड्डीने मंत्री पद छोड़े

आन्ध्र प्रदेश का विभाजन करके तेलंगाना के रूप में २९वा प्रथक राज्य बनाने के लिए ब्रहस्पतिवार को केंद्रीय कैबिनेट ने मंजूरी दे दी है जिससे आहात होकर फिल्म स्टार और केंद्रीय पर्यटन मंत्री चिरंजीवी तथा रेल राज्यमंत्री सूर्य प्रकाश रेड्डी ने बृहस्पतिवार को ही केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल से इस्तीफा दे दिया। आंध्रप्रदेश से कांग्रेस सांसद अनंत रेड्डी+ साई प्रकाश रेड्डी +वी अरुण कुमार ने भी पार्टी सदस्यता से इस्तीफा दे दिया है।
सूत्रों से प्राप्त जानकारी के अनुसार मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्री पल्लम राजू ने अपनी नाराजगी व्यक्त कर दी है|
गौरतलब है कि प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह की अध्यक्षता में हुई कैबिनेट की बैठक में अलग तेलंगाना राज्य को मंजूरी देते हुए दोनों राज्यों के बीच संसाधनों के बंटवारे के लिए मंत्रिमंडलीय समूह बनाने का फैसला लिया गया।बताया जा रहा है कि इस बैठक में तेलंगाना समर्थक और विरोधी मंत्रियों के बीचगर्म बहस भी हुई|
जाहिर है चुनावों में फायदा उठाने के लोभ में लिए गए इस निर्णय से भी केंद्र सरकार फंसती दिख रही है।
लोकसभा चुनाव में राजनीतिक गणित दुरुस्त करने के इरादे से केंद्र ने तेलंगाना के गठन को हरी झंडी दी कि कांग्रेस सांसदों के इस्तीफा देने का सिलसिला शुरू हो गया। सबसे पहले करीब सवा घंटे चली कैबिनेट की इस बैठक में तेलंगाना समर्थक और विरोधी मंत्रियों के बीच असंतोष के स्वरों की सुनामी बही जिसके फलस्वरूप सीमांध्र से आने वाले केंद्रीय पर्यटन मंत्री चिरंजीवी सहित चार कांग्रेसी सांसदों ने इस्तीफा दे दिया। दिल्ली में शाम को प्रधानमंत्री आवास के बाहर भी तेलंगाना विरोधी प्रदर्शन करने पहुंच गए।
इस घटना क्रम से लाभ उठाने के लिए राष्ट्रीय लोकदल[रालोद] सुप्रीमो और केंद्रीय मंत्री चौधरी अजित सिंह ने बैठक में ही हरित प्रदेश का मुद्दा उठा दिया पश्चिमी उत्तर प्रदेश में अलग हरित प्रदेश बनाने के इस मुद्दे को , प्रधानमंत्री व मंत्रिमंडल के दूसरे सहयोगियों ने, कोई तवज्जो नहीं दी।
