Political gossip: Time for some lessons in politics

Naidu wants to ape Obama?

That TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu was on a pleasure trip to America is no news. Although it's assumed that Naidu went there for a vacation after his arduous padayatra, the truth is something else.

With the elections not too far away, every party is working out strategies to woo voters. TDP too is no exception to this. The buzz in the political circles is that Naidu has gone to the US to get insights on Obama's tactics during election campaign. It is learnt that Naidu is taking a closer look at Obama's strategies. What Naidu doesn't seem to have realised is that the strategies that work there need not necessary work here. Wonder why the TDP chief wasted his precious time there when there were so many issues to look into back home.

TSR-Purandareswari  faceoff

It is known fact that there is a feud between Congress Rajya Sabha MP T Subbarami Reddy and Union Minister Purandareswari over the Vizag Lok Sabha seat. The duo don't see each other eye-to-eye. The feud has turned into to a personal war now. Of late, they have started taking pot-shots at each other in public.

Subbarami Reddy and Purandareswari were in Visakhapatrnam on Sunday for a marathon event.

Sakshipost already reported that Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and actor Ram Charan kickstarted the event dubbed 'Olympic Day run'. All eyes were on TSR and Purandeshwari who are sworn enemies. While Purandareswari stood on one side of the chief minister, TSR was on the other side. They neither exchanged a look nor a word with each other. Both attended the function and left without even exchanging the usual pleasantries.

Interestingly, even Kiran Reddy did not make an attempt to lessen the animosity between the duo.

We bring you the best and the latest gossips in Andhra politics. Stay tuned.
