Here Comes the Savior of the Poor and the Downtrodden
Wednesday, July 09, 2008
Don't mistake the post to be about super humans (Spiderman, Batman or Superman), who put on trousers before briefs. This is about the new savior of the poor, needy, backward and handicapped people in Andhra Pradesh. Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand and welcome Mr. Manda Krishna Madiga, leader of MRPS (Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti), an association of people belonging to Madiga caste, termed as scheduled caste.
I don't know what's gone wrong with this bloke of late, but his name is being heard everywhere for all the wrong reasons. All the weaker sections, including physically handicapped have suddenly become his darlings and he is seen attacking and passing scathing remarks on everyone to please his new found love.
He first started with an assault on Andhra Jyoti, a Telugu daily, which ran a story heavily criticizing the leaders of caste-based political parties and associations. He damaged the newspaper's assets in Hyderabad, filed a case against the editor and 100 staff reporters, and even got them arrested. Though Mr.Krishna publicly claimed responsibility for the attack, no action was taken against him by the police or the government.
Now he has donned a new role as the unofficial censor board member for Telugu films.
He objected to a scene in the film Kantri where Dr.Ambedkar's statue is shown in the title song and at a place from where the villain operates. He demanded the film makers to remove those shots and sought an unconditional apology from NTR (the film's hero and the Kantri team). His contention was that by showing Ambedkar's statue, the film makers have humiliated dalits and portrayed them as perpetrators. Finally, the scenes were removed.

2. In the recently released fully sentimental Telugu movie Gorintaaku (meaning Henna in Telugu. For more details about the film, please visit my second last post),there is a scene where the hero asks the heroine whether she would marry a physically handicapped person if her brother wants her to. I think the scene can be imagined by any lay man. Mr. Krishna stated that such statements would hurt PH and wanted the scenes to be removed asap. I agree, such dialogs would hurt the PH, but the situation demands such dialogs and a lot of films has had scenes that made fun of PH. Where were you then Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyy Krishna!
The funniest part is that the film is termed a big dud. The producers and the hero Rajashekhar, who is planning to launch his political career, are not seen anywhere. Now with his allegations, Mr. Krishna has rubbed salt on wound.
I doubt whether Mr. Krishna is planning to launch his film career. Please suggest him a suitable role - director, producer or Protagonist. Or is he trying to don a few avatars like Lord Krishna?
Finally, if any of his supporters happens to go through this post, I might be their next target.

Recent Past
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Lot of things have happened during the last two weeks while I was toiling for a piece of land (with house) in Hyderabad, errrrrr.... in a village far off from Greater Hyderabad. Some of them I feel worth noting are:
1. Devendar Goud ditched Chandra Babu Naidu and started his own party in support of Telangana. The trend of pro-Telangana seems to be catching like the fad of sporting like long and straight hair.
2. Dr. Rajashekar, the lesser known Telugu actor (imported from Tamil Nadu), has grown up from being the angry young man of Tollywood to 'Maha Star'. He is trying to take on Mega Star Chiru.
3. RBI has increased interest rates. Bull shit, seems someone in the RBI is not happy with me purchasing house.
Importantly, there are only 6 days left in June 2008.

Grow Up Mr. Rajashekhar and Jeevitha

The following is direct lift from one of my favorite websites (www.idlebrain.com). The writer of this letter has put forth his opinion of the series of incidents that took place after Dr.Rajashekar and his family were attacked allegedly by Mega Fans.
As his opinion fully matches with mine, I didn't take pains to write again.
Dear Dr. Rajsekhar:
This letter is with reference to the recent happenings that have caused quite a stir in the media. I extend my sympathies to you and your family and hope everything is fine with your family members.
The Indian constitution endows to its every citizen a fundamental right called the "freedom of speech". This means every Indian citizen has freedom to speak his mind. It is unfortunate to see this right is being manipulated in a docile way to vent out frustration on someone who has been blessed with bigger things in life.
Before the attack
You had mentioned in your press conference that Chiranjeevi does not possess any experience in politics and that is the reason why you don’t want to join him.
Yes, you are 100% right? Chiranjeevi does not have any experience in politics so far. My question to you is - what prior political experience did NTR possess when he first announced his entry into Andhra politics 25 years back? None!!! For everything there is a first-time. It is very amusing that you did not think of this before commenting on Chiranjeevi.
After the Attack
After the attack you had mentioned that Chiranjeevi should take the ownership for the attack made by his fans. Let us apply some common-sense. You comment on someone and the next day you are attacked - who gets blamed? It is possible that the assailants could have been opportunists who may have attacked you to malign Chiranjeevi and his fans from a circumstantial evidence perspective. It is also possible that they were indeed some hardcore fans of Chiranjeevi who could not bear someone commenting on their favourite hero.
In any event, Chiranjeevi was magnanimous in promptly reaching your place, apologizing, comforting your family and taking accountability for the entire fiasco. He also condemned the attacks and admonished the miscreants.
During one of your media outbursts, you mentioned that Chiranjeevi should control his fans. Kindly suggest to Chiranjeevi how he can control millions and millions of his fans who treat him next to god and their parents? Recently some of your fans burnt the effigies of Chiranjeevi. Will you take accountability and apologize to Chiranjeevi and his fans for the incident?
I totally agree that the attack on you and your family is unfair; but your behaviour after Chiranjeevi has conscientiously apologized is portraying you as a person who is trying to garner sympathy and get even with Chiranjeevi for some past professional defeats you endured in his hands.
"To err is human, to forgive divine" - apologizing for a mistake that is not yours is being noble.
On behalf of Chiranjeevi fans, I wish you and your family well.
Thanks
A die hard fan of Megastar Chiranjeevi unto death
