Hi Telugu Netters,

I haven't been to Andhra in the last two and half years. So I don't know
much about the current politcal situation in Andhra. I would greatly
appreciate if any body can enlighten me by providing some information (unbiased)
about AP politics and in particular about krishna district politics.

I am curious to know more about the following persons.

1. NTR's second wife : who is she? her background? her caste(no flames, I'm
just curious), etc......

2. Devineni Nehru, Vangaveeti Ratna Kumari, Vangaveeti Sobhana
Chalapati,etc... : Their chances of winning in the coming Assem..
elections?

3. Kavuri Sambasiva Rao, Vasantha Nageswara Rao, K.P. Reddaiah, etc...: Their
political future?

and about Mutha Tagadalu and Rowdyism in Vijayawada (Cong-I: Vangavveti Shantan
kumar, TDP: Devineni Ramana, CPI: There are so many.. I don't want to go too
deep into that)


Ratna

She is basically from Tenali. She did her Ph.d in Harekathalu or something
related to telugu language and is obviously very good at Telugu langua
ge and considered to be better than NTR. She is from the same caste of NTR


Devineni Nehru, Vangaveeti Ratna Kumari, Vangaveeti Sobhana

Nehru and Ratna Kumari will retain their seats in the Assembly
irrespective of the state politics. I don't know much about Chalapati Rao
He might win. Above all Goondas are capable of anything.

Kavuri Sambasiva Rao is one very strong man from AP. There is no way that
he is going to loose in the coming election.But he is a parliamentarian
so he won't be running for the Assembly.

Vasantha Nageswara Rao I guess has almost quit politics after making so
much money. It is widely believed that he is staying away from politics
to cap all the scams that TDP would bring out if he continues.
There is no doubt he made so much money. There is no way that he could
win an election from Jaggayapeta aganist Nettam Raghuram the strong man.

About K.P Reddaiah, he is one jumping jackal and I believe he is in
Congress right now. He won't even dream of winning any kind of election
from Krishna Dt for the thing he has done.He has nothing to loose after
he has made so much money for ditching TDP.

As far as VJA is concerned it is quiet now. After the death of Ranga
that section has become weak and moreover Ratna kumari was not given
a place in the cabinet at all. Power struggle was going on for a long
time between Ratna kumari and Chalapati Rao.

Nehru can say is ruling VJA now and has become powerful through out the
district. Collecting chandalu like hell and is also building a house
which looks like a fort.

Devineni Ramana married a girl who is a BE(I wonder how she could).
thats again a kind of lechepovadam. That girls father used to work for
Ramoje Rao(Eenadu) in Dolphin Hotel in Vizak. He was dare enough to
make some money illegally in the Hotel where in return he was siezed of
his property by Ramoje Rao. He was given protection by Nehru in return
for his daughter to Ramana. This is the story thats running around.

Santhana Kumar who is desperately trying to grow as a Goonda missed 2
attempts by the Communists a year ago. I dont know the latest.

this is all I have about some of the worst politics in Andhra.

Though am not from Vijayawada or Krishna district, I have always been attracted
to political wars(fights) between Vangaveeti and Devineni families. I would
appreciate if someone tells more about how these fights started and how long
they have been going on. What I know is that Vangaveeti Radha was intially
a taxi driver in Vijwada and a member of a labour union, whose leader was a
communist called Chalasani Venkata Ratnam. In due course Radha become a kind
of labour leader and started dominating the union. This, I was told, was not
tolarated by Chalasani and had arranged to kill Radha. Then, Radha's brother
Ranga took the revange by arranging the killing of Chalasani, and ultimately
started dominating the political as well as goonda activities of Vijwada. If
I am mistaken, he is from Kapu caste where as his wife, Ratna Kumari, is from
Kamma caste.

I don't know how the fued between Devineni family and Vangaveeti family started.
I look forward to hearing from folks who know more details. Am also interested
in knowing present day politics in Vijayawada.

I don't feel ashamed to say that I have had personally known some folks who
were involved in political goondaism in AP. I happend to know couple of guys
who were in the team that killed Vangaveeti Ranga. Since everyone knows that the
killing was arranged and organised by some folks from then ruling Telugu Desam
party, let me say what I know. The plan, I was told, was discussed in Hyd,
headed by a powerful TD leader(you know whom am talking about). Then, a team
of goondas(if you have to call so) was formed to carry out the plan. The team
consisted of folks from different regions of AP, mostly from Rayalaseema and
Telangana. Then, everyone knows what kind of damage took place in coastal Andhra
after Ranga's killing. I guess the scars of that killing and the consequent
voilence are still lingering in that part of the state, aren't they?

Anyone interested in throwing some light on Vijayawada politics?

U are wrong here its not Ranga who arranged, but its Radha himself.
Communists were a powerful force and avenged the death of Chalasani
VenkataRatnam.

Till the death of Radha, Devineni Gandhi was No 2 among the gang. After the
death of Radha, power struggle started between Gandhi and Ranga. They split
and had two different groups. The first death anniversary of Radha was
performed by the two groups separately after the split.

It was during the polytechnic college election(not sure of the yr) that
Gandhi was killed by Ranga bec of a conflict about a cycle shop which
was witnessed by Devineni Murali who was just in his teenage.
Nehru's group stabbed and killed all Ranga's witnesses one day when they
were going to court near Ring Road(if u know it).
All the evidences were strong for both the groups to end up in jail when
Karnate Rammohan Rao(lawyer) came into the scene brought both the groups
to a compromise to withdraw all the cases aganist each other.
They had divided VJA into two parts for each one (Bandar road and eluru road

Things were quiet for sometime. TDP was formed later and Ranga applied for
a seat and for some reason Nehru was preffered by NTR and Ranga had to
switch to Congress. During this course of time Murali grew up to be one
of the rare aggressive guys. And during the Corporation elections after
a long time Kadeyala Bucche Babu was stabbed by Ranga who was a close
friend of Murali in return for which Murali killed one of prominent
member among the opposite group(forgot the name).

In course of time Ranga murdered Murali and Nehru murdered Ranga.

Will continue........
