TDP seeks CBI's clarification for not arresting Jagan
2012/4/16 2:02:05 Hyderabad, April 16 (INN): The Telugu Desam Party on Monday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to clarify as to why it has not arrested YSR Congress president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in the disproportionate assets case.
Addressing a press conference at NTR Trust Bhavan, TDP MLA M Revanth Reddy said that it was strange that the CBI has arrested the Accused No 2 Vijay Sai Reddy in the alleged illegal assets case, but has spared Accused No 1 - Jagan Mohan Reddy. He alleged that the CBI was acting at the behest of the Congress High Command and did not arrest Jagan following his secret pact with the Congress party.
Revanth Reddy said that the CBI should function independently and free itself from all political pressures to ensure free and fair investigations into various cases, especially in the Jagan's illegal assets case.
Countering a recent statement by YSR Congress party leaders that the party would come to power in the mid-term polls and would run the government with ethics and credibility, Revanth Reddy said that the words like 'ethics' and 'credibility' does not match Jagan's profile. He alleged that Jagan started lobbying for the Chief Minister even before YS Rajasekhara Reddy's body reached home from Nallamalla forest after helicopter crash.
Revanth Reddy said that Jagan did not bother to help the IAS officials who are now in jail for signing the GOs during YSR's regime. He said YSR Congress leaders have been making statements without looking into the past of Jagan Mohan Reddy.

While, you are cheating the public with this kind of fake statements, you are still wondering in the state projecting yourself as Andhra Hazare. You should be ashamed of your nature."

Bollywood should look for stories in books: John Abraham
2012/2/18 1:52:05
Mumbai, Feb 18 (IANS) Actor John Abraham feels that instead of getting inspired by Hollywood films, Bollywood filmmakers should start adapting stories from books.
"Most of the time, in our industry we get a lot of inspiration from other films, especially English films. But I think the best inspiration you can get is out of books," the 39-year-old said here at the launch of the book "In A Bubble of Time."
"Even English films that have done well, got their inspiration out of books. So I think it's important to read and get new ideas and I think that is where we are limiting ourselves," he added.
If John was to make a film based on a book, which one would that be?
"I have been a great fan of 20th century fiction and I love Jeffry Archer. So, I have read all his books and if I have to make a Hindi picture I would definitely make it on a Jeffrey Archer book," he said.
The actor had featured in the film "7 Khoon Maaf" which was based on Ruskin Bond's short story "Susanna's Seven Husbands".
John is currently gearing up for his next release "Housefull 2",
