Has chief minister YS Rajashekar Reddy pulled a fast one on TRs chief Chandrashekar Rao. Yes, say some analysts. The TRS MPs and MLAs resigned over the separate Telangana issue. The TRS wants to prove that the Telangana sentiment is very strong by winning back all the seats once again.
KCR has even started his campaign for the by-lections by going on his Thanda Bata. The Election Commission has announced the poll schedule for the Karnataka assembly elections. Everyone expected that the by-polls would be held at the same time as the Karnataka elections.
Now some politicians are expressing doubts if the by-polls would be held at all. Now there is even some talk about advancing the assembly polls. The TRS surely has been caught on the wrong foot for once.
The sexy Deepika Padukone got a big shock when she got an offer to do a film in Tamil. The shock was not the chance t act in a Tamil film but to star opposite the one and only superstar Rajnikanth.
Deepika is naturally excited with this once in a lifetime offer. She has confirmed that she has got the offer but refused to divulge more details.
This is the new film of Rajnikanth after Robo. More details about the other star cast and crew are awaited.
2007/10/13 9:17:10 Congress president gave a big shock to TDP chief Chandara Babu Naidu. Her announcement in Delhi on Friday came as not only a shock but also a big setback to the grand plans of Babu. Sonia stated clearly that there was no chance of a mid-term poll in the country. She said that the government would complete its full five-year term. Babu, who was gearing up in anticipation of imminent polls, started announcing sops in a big way. And he even started hitting the road with his read shows. Now all this will have to be stopped. With no polls round the corner, the situation is back to square one for the TDP. Babu will now have to cools his heels for a good 18 months before the next elections to come up.
2008/4/19 3:03:09 The TRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao is in a state of shock. An intelligence survey report has mentioned that TRS is not likely to sweep elections. It is facing a lot of discontentment among the cadre and also the party leaders.
Many MLAs, who quit their membership of the assembly, are not sure of winning this time. The Telangana sentiment may be strong but some of the MLs have become extremely unpopular in their constituency.
It may however come as some consolation to KCR that the prospects of the congress are not bright at all. But the TDP is likely to do well and might win about four seats.
The results of the MLC elections came as a big shock to the TRS chief KCR. While KCR expected MLAs from Congress and TRS to cross vote for the TRS, it was actually three TRS MLAs who cross voted.
The TRS has 11 MLAs and also got support of 2 BJP and one TDP MLA. So the TRS candidate should have polled 14 votes. However he managed to get only 11 votes. KCR is naturally furious at the loss of face.
2007/10/31 9:09:10 After giving the shock of his life to Chiranjeevi, it is now the turn of Srija and sirish to experience the same. Srija hoped that her father, who loves her dearly, would forgive her and quickly accept her marriage. She also hoped that papa Chiranjeevi would rush to Delhi and take her and her husband home along with him. But to her dismay and disappointment and Sirish’s shock, nothing of that sort happened.
The letter by Chiranjeevi hints that he is in no mod to accept Srija or welcome them home. Sirish had planed the high profile media campaign and filed the case in court in anticipation of a call from Chiranjeevi. Al his plans have come to naught.
Now with Chiranjeevi firm in his decision not to have anything to do with their marriage, all their hopes have been dashed. Reality is already dawning on Srija and she is now trying to put up a brave front.
Sachin Tendulkar is now in a state of shock. Sachin went into deep mourning the moment he heard about the demise of Sathya Sai Baba.
Sachin has locked his hotel room and has not eaten anything since morning. Sachin had cancelled his birthday celebrations in view of the critical condition of Baba.
Sachin is a great devotee of Baba and he visited Puttaprathi several times to seek blessings of Baba.

It now seems to be season of giving a pay hike in Tollywood. The heroes and directors are giving themselves a raise! Some of the top heroes have recently jacked up their remuneration by a couple of crore.
It is well known that directors too are stars by themselves and they too are charging a whopping 5 crore per film. Srinu Vytla has now given a shock to producers. He is reportedly asking 10 crore as remuneration for his film with Jr. NTR. The hapless producer was too stunned to say anything and came back silently.
This is the biggest shock for chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy. The high command has kept him completely in the dark over the issue of merging the Praja Rajyam party with the congress.
So much so that even Kiran did not know that the high command had completed the ‘deal’ and invited Chiru to Delhi to just give it a stamp of approval.
Kiran is now slowly coming to learn how the high command acts and how even someone like a chief minister is just a small fish in the party.
Daggubati Rana is now in a state of shock. He had high hopes from his Hindi film Dum Maro Dum and the Telugu film Nenu Naa Rakshasi.
However, both the films have fared badly at the box office. The critics have commented that Rana may be unsuitable to play hero and that he cannot act.
Rana is unable to digest all this. He is tall, good looking and has an impeccable lineage – grandson of D Rama Naidu and son of Suresh Babu. Rana is the nephew of victory Venkatesh.
So, Rana thinks he is fully qualified to play hero. It is still too early to judge and we have to wait for him to act in a few more films before we learn about the verdict of the audiences.
Chiranjeevi got the shock of his life in Delhi yesterday. He went to Delhi on summons from the party high command. Chiranjeevi expected that Sonia Gandhi would meet him and discuss about the modalities of the PRP merger.
Chiranjeevi also expected that Sonia would offer him a berth in the union cabinet or make him the PCC chief.
No such thing happened in Delhi. Chiranjeevi did not even get a darshan of madam Sonia. He had to be contend meeting Ahmed Patel and Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Chiranjeevi did not get assurance on any thing and he came back with empty hands – dejected and feeling shamed.
2008/5/20 2:16:10 Film actress and wife of hero Dr. Rajashekar , Jeevitha has finally announced that she was ready to take the plunge into politics. Rajashekar and Jeevitha visited Triumala this morning and had darshan of Lord Venkateswara Swamy.
After coming out of the temple, Jeevitha interacted with the waiting media personnel. She did not disappoint them and said that she is game for any responsibility given by the congress.
Jevitha also claimed that many people are already addressing her as the new President of the Andhra Pradesh Mahila Congress. Jeevitha also said that se would contest the next assembly elections if the congress party gives her a ticket.
Jeevitha’s comments have come as a big shock to the present Congress Mahila chief Ganga Bhavani. It now remains to be seen how she will ‘react’ to Jeevitha’s utterances now.
The announcement of N D Tiwari as the new Governor of Andhra Pradesh has been widely welcomed. However, the new appointments announced by the center do not figure even a single name from Andhra Pradesh.
Many senior congress leaders had lobbied hard for a gubernatorial appointment and pulled strings in Delhi. So it came as a big shock to leaders like M Sathyanarayana Rao, G Venkataswamy, Nadendla Bhaskar Rao, P Upendra and other senior leaders. They were all hoping for a plum posting as Governor.
2012/2/5 12:53:28 It seems Indian team still not yet comes out its 'white wash' shock given by Australian team few days ago. Even before the cricket fans digest the Indian Team's first victory on Australian grounds, it gives a big shock to them by loosing its first match played against Australia in Commonwealth Bank triangular series that starts today. Australia has defeated India with 65 runs.
Indian team fails to chase the 217 huge target set by Australian team. All our players seem to be in hurry to return to pavilion at the earliest. So, they were all out for 151 runs in just 29.4 overs.
2008/4/17 14:33:32 Anushka has been away from shootings for quite some time. She was shocked and greatly depressed over the unfortunate incident that took place recently. Anushka, Ravi Teja and Sunil were shooting for their new film on river Godavari recently. As part of the scene, Anushka pushed the dupes of Ravi Teja and Sunil into the river from the boat. While Sunil's dupe managed to swim back to safety, Ravi Teja's dupe drowned and lost his life.
Shocked over this, Anushka reportedly went into a shell. She cancelled all her shooting engagements and took some time off. She has now recovered from the shock and is now back on the sets.
The annual Nandi awards given by the state government have been criticized in the past as several non-deserving films and persons were selected for them
The Nandi awards for 2009 have come as a shock for everyone who is well versed with the movie industry.
The majority opinion is that more than half the awards this time were given for reasons other than merit and talent.
It is a big shock when many undeserving actors and technicians have bagged awards while real talent has gone unrecognized.
It is now clear that to bag a Nandi; one does not require talent but money bags and influence.
The Nandi awards have become like any other commodity that is easily available in the market.
2007/10/8 14:27:30 The Greater Hyderabad congress President Danam Nagendar has given another shock to Babu. Nagendar joined the TDP in the last elections after he failed to get the congress ticket. Babu rewarded him with a ticket to the Asifnagar constituency. Nagendar won the seat but quit the TDP after YS swept the polls. He ditched Babu without even a second thought and came back to the Congress. The incident came as a big shock to Babu. The turncoat Nagendar is now in the good books of YSR and is considered to be on very good terms with the chief minister. Now, in a bid to please his boss, Nagendar is planning to take legal action against Babu for his allegation that YSR is making one crore rupees per hour. Nagam has conveniently forgot that it was the same Babu who had bailed him out with a ticket when the congress party ditched him. But in politics, backstabbers are very common and Nagendar is just one example.
2011/12/20 17:13:16 Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy expressed deep shock and grief over the sudden demise of Pratheek Reddy, son of the former minister Komatireddy Venkatreddy and two other students in a ghastly accident on Tuesday.

According to Miyapur police, L Babu, a resident of Prajay City Apartments committed suicide by hanging to the ceiling fan on Friday night.

The young leader YS Jagan has given the first shock to chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy.
Jagan’s candidate Tippa Reddy beat the congress candidate in Chittoor the home district of the CM.
The CM took the election very seriously as it reflects on his hold in the district. Despite having the entire official machinery at his command and virtually monitoring the elections on a minute to minute basis for 15 days Kiran has failed to defeat the Jagan party candidate.
