Kodi Ramakrishna is no more ….

Kodi Ramakrishna, who has been working on more than 120 films, has been experiencing innovative experiments in Telugu cinema. He was suffering from lung disease for some time and died shortly after being treated at AIG hospital in Gachibowli.
Recently, Kodi Ramakrishna gave me a number of interesting facts about the fact that I have done 120 movies.
In his words’ 120 films are like a dream. When it’s night, how it feels like it is a dream come true, and once again, the rule is like a student. Such a nice carrier is mine. Everything was dreaming. The reason I grew up was because of the heroes and producers who worked with me. Once again, how did you do that?
I still write my stories. There is no motivation for me. If Komma Komma is written, the stories will come from me as well as how the fire is born. I have been traveling so far that every movie is my first film.
If you feel like relaxing somewhere, then relax. Kodi Ramakrishna’s words are the guidelines for many new directors, so I believe in the fact that when Nuvvu learns to change and that’s the best thing you can do.

Rahul to spare Chandrababu Naidu in Tirupati rally?

The visit of Congress president Rahul Gandhi to Tirupati to address a mega rally on February 22 is raising a lot of curiosity in the political observers, who are wondering as to what stand he would take on the Telugu Desam Party government in Andhra Pradesh headed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Needless to say, the Congress party is pinning all its hopes on Rahul’s visit, which is expected to help the party retrieve its lost ground at least to some extent by taking up the special category status demand.

The Congress party is planning to hold the public meeting at SV University’s Tarakarama Stadium from where Narendra Modi had assured the people of AP that BJP would give special status for 10 years and promised building a world class capital city.

The single slogan for the rally is ‘Pratyeka Hoda Kavali Ante Rahul Ravali’ (If you want special status Rahul should come to power).

However, if the Congress has to get any mileage out of this public meeting, Rahul Gandhi will have to equally blame Naidu for not securing special category status to AP despite sailing with the Bharatiya Janata Party for four long years.

He has to raise the issue of Naidu accepting the special financial package and later taking a U-turn to demand special category status only for political gains.

Since the special category status has now become a sentimental issue, Rahul has to play this card in order to improve the Congress party’s position in the state. But that will not happen without him attacking Naidu.

However, it is unlikely that he will make any comments on Naidu and his government in the wake of the latest bonhomie between the two leaders.

And if he doesn’t, one doubts whether Rahul will impress the people by just targeting Modi.

Farmer death: Pawan goes soft, Jagan aggressive!

The death of Pittala Kotaiah, a farmer of Kondaveedu in Guntur district in his own fields almost at the same time when Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu addressed a public rally in the village kicked up a major political storm in Andhra Pradesh.

While the ruling TDP tried hush up the death describing it as a suicide due to personal problems of the farmer, the opposition parties naturally tried to use the incident to run down the TDP government and take political mileage out of it.

But there is a clear difference between the stand taken by two major opposition parties – Jana Sena Party headed by actor Pawan Kalyan and YSR Congress party led by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

Pawan appeared to be too mild in his criticism of the government in the episode.

He gave a simple tweet saying that the government should not wash its hands of by giving some compensation to the family of the farmer but adopt more sympathetic approach.

“Farmers’ tears are not good for the country,” he said.

A team of Jana Sena leaders led by former MLA Ravela Kishore Babu which toured the village was also very soft towards the government.

It said the death of farmers appeared to be suspicious and hence, the government should order a judicial probe.It demanded that the government should provide a job to one of the sons of Kotaiah.

On the other hand, YSRC launched an aggressive attack on the Naidu government holding it responsible for Kotaiah’s death.

A fact-finding team of YSRC led by Ummareddy Venkateshwarlu said there was an undisputable evidence to say that the BC farmer was killed for refusing to allow his land to be used for creating a helipad for the landing of chief minister’s helicopter.

Ummareddy alleged that the police were trying to hush up the issue by distorting the facts to shield the main culprits.

He said Kotaiah’s land was taken over by the police for a government programme which was scheduled to be attended by Naidu.

He went on to allege that the highhandedness of police was the main reason for the suspicious death of the farmer.

“The farmer expressed his anguish to the village elders and told them that the police and TDP members were destroying his field and within one hour he died. While police maintain that he committed suicide by consuming pesticide, it cannot stand any scrutiny,” the YSRC leader said.

Magha Purnima 2019 Significance of Magha Purnima

Magha Purnima 2019 will be celebrated on February 19 this year. It is an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar, It holds a belief that taking bath in the holy river of Ganga on this day will get rid a person of all their past sins and also fulfil their wishes. The Ardh Kumbh Mela 2019 is ongoing at Prayagraj and on Magh Purnima there is a Shahi Snan. Religious texts describe the day of Maghi Purnima with austerity and there is specific importance to taking a dip in the holy waters. The day of Magha Purnima is also called as Maha Maghi and is the most important days of Magh Maas. The day is associated with the worship of Guru Brahaspati and Lord Vishnu. Let us tell you more details about the timings, history, significance and Vrat Katha of Magha Purnima.

Date and Timings of Magha Purnima 2019

Magha Purnima will be marked on February 19 this year. According to Drik Panchang, the Purnima tithi will begin at 1.11 on February 19 and end at 21.23 same day.





Significance of Magha Purnima
There are several religious stories associated with the day of Magha Purnima. One of the belief states on this day the Hindu God of Gandharva comes to the sangam ie the confluence of the holy rivers. So taking a bath in the holy waters on this day will give the people a feeling of being in heaven! So it is an extremely auspicious day during the Kumbh Mela. Taking a bath in the holy waters on this day, not just omits all the sins of a person but also promises to go in heaven after death. People always perform elaborate worship to please Lord Vishnu but on the day of Magha Purnima, taking a holy bath and doing charity work for the poor is a way of pleasing the Lord.

Vrat Katha of Magha Purnima

Each auspicious day has a religious story or a Vrat Katha attached to it. The Vrat Katha of Maghi Purnima is based on Brahmin scholar Shubhravat. He was very greedy and spent most of his life earning money. He concentrated on money so much that he started falling ill and aged quickly as compared to others. When he realised that he spent most of his livelihood in earning money, he decided to retire and take bath in the river Narmada. He took bath for 9 days continuously but still, his health did not benefit as much.  He was nearly on his death bed when he chanted a prayer. He realised that he did not do any good deeds in his aim of making money, he had to see such a sad end to his life. But it is said because he took bath in the holy waters, he attained Moksha.

So taking a bath in the holy waters and doing charity on the day of Magha Purnima is considered very auspicious among the Hindus. Many people thus gather at the confluence for the Shahi Snan and then make donations to the poor and needy. Doing such good deeds is also said to fulfil their needs easily

GST Officials Continue To Haunt Mahesh Babu

It looks like the GST woes will not leave Mahesh Babu anytime soon. A couple of months ago, the GST Commissionerate had blocked the Superstar’s bank accounts over an alleged non-payment of service tax of Rs 18.5 lakhs. In a statement, Mahesh said that the matter has been in the court and that he has always been a law-abiding citizen.

Now, Mahesh’s newly launched world-class superplex AMB Cinemas has come under the GST department’s scanner. The GST anti-profiteering wing, Ranga Reddy district, on Tuesday served a showcause notice on AMB Cinemas for violating GST norms.

In a raid conducted on the multiplex, the GST anti-evasion team found out that AMB Cinemas had not reduced the ticket prices even after the central government’s notification. Furthermore, AMB Cinemas had pocketed Rs 35 lakh in January 2019 while violating the anti-profiteering clause in the CGST Act. The multiplex authorities have been asked to cough up Rs 35 lakhs with immediate effect. The GST officials were authorised to book a case against AMB Cinemas under Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017.

Meanwhile, the AMB Cinemas’ spokesperson maintained that they had not received any notice from GST officials. He also said that they had only obtained a court order fixing the ticket price as per new GST guidelines. The new ticket rates would be effective from February 22nd.

The GST Council had reduced the GST over ticket prices and the new rates became effective from January 1st. For tickets costing more than Rs 100, the tax has been reduced from 28% to 18%. And for the tickets which are of Rs 100 or less, the GST rate was pegged at 12% instead of 18% earlier.
