Twitter & Shashi Tharoor

All are aware of Mr.Shashi Tharoor Twitter addiction, both inseparable.

But his tweeting landed him into trouble over a journalist questioning him about his travel plans to Kerala in Economy class (referred as Cattle Class).

Tharoor in reply to the journo said, ‘Yes in the cattle class with holy cows'.

Apparently this tweet did not go well in the public domain with wide criticism from many quarters including Congress. Some came forward demanding his resignation!!!

Well, the new age Twitter cannot stand against the mighty rigid attitude of India's oldest Political party!! Infact, the poster boy of Congress Tharoor was anticipated to bring in change within the Congress & Government functioning to match up with the globalization.

Is the Congress overreacting over the trivial issue on mere humour statement?

Or is it nervous and trying to maintain its AAM ADMI Austere image?

Is the issue completely misunderstood and taken out of context?

Is Congress finding it too difficult to adjust to the modern Internet age?

Seems media is publicizing too much on needless issue and make a mountain of mole. Is some section of media trying to lobby ouster of Tharoor by speculation?

However, let me mention that twitter is good medium where a Central minister is easily accessible to the people directly, cutting down all the red tapesim.

Is any other minister in UPA cabinet so easily accessible? Why do media not debate on this issue? Is it that Tharoor overdoing on twitter? May be he must restrict his tweeting habits especially as he occupies an important office in the Government.

Especially, his OSD Jacob has manifested act of immaturity by venting his anger openly through Twitter, not suiting his position of being OSD to the junior EAM.

He must remember that his personal comments on public forum like twitter have impact in the political arena. Seems he is not mature to handle the post of OSD to the Junior EAM keeping in mind his tweets. Adding a further perspective, does the Official Secret Act restrict him twittering? Well, voices within Congress and media rising for ouster of Tharoor-Seems he is on his way out very soon.

If he resigns then Twitter must rehabilitate Mr.Tharoor, after all he is twitter loyalist!!!

YSR-Lion of Cuddapah & Post-Death Fiasco.

The untimely death of Y S Rajsekhara Reddy caused huge emotional outburst in Andhra Pradesh.

People committed suicide and some of them died of Heart attack!!!!

Now this is what I call typical Andhra style of grief!!!

‘Andhra is typical example of extreme reactions, sycophancy’- says my mummy who was born n bought up in Kurnool District, AP-(The same district where YSR died)...

Apparently, the REDDY community in Andhra is known for its extreme behaviour.

If a Reddy is close friend of yours he will not mind losing his life, but at the same time he will not hesitate to take other’s life if any conflict persists.

YSR was Lion of Cuddapah (Rayalseema Region), who had crushed all his detractors mercilessly; perhaps fate had stored this brutal death for him to commensurate in same spirit.

It was alleged by Chandrababu Naidu that YSR had generated wealth over 10,000 CRORES!!!!

However, the allegations could not be substantiated.....

The moment from which YSR’s chopper fiasco began there was total Chaos.

No one could confirm the factual position, leaving it on the media to speculate.

The media in its usual style speculated, sensationalised the incident at its best.

In the next 3days YSR was made a big hero and saviour of Andhra!!!

His stature was compared to that of Gandhi etc...

Is Indian media immature-May be I can write a separate blog on it.

The search operations conducted was unprecedented in recent time!!

How much money was spent from taxpayers kitty-WHO KNOWS???

I would request YSRs son to compensate from his massive WORTH.

Several such instances of chopper crash have occurred in the past, wherein the debris and decomposed bodies were found even after three months of the incident.

But Lion of Cuddapah was lucky, that his MUKHYA MANTRI position loomed around him even after his death!!! His body was recovered in 17 hours after massive search....

The irony of the situation is that before YSR was buried squabbling for his successor caused huge ruckus. Majority of Legislators pitched their support for YSR’s son Jagan Mohan, controversial Industrialist. The nasty didn’t allow the grief to subside and took advantage of emotionally charged situation!!!! It was manifestation of cheapness and dirty politics.

Will Congress set another example of Dynastic politics by appointing YSRs son as the CM???

Well,in that case Congress will be pucca Family run party!!!!!

Andhra Congrees unit may be on it's way to split-Who knows??

Will Jagan be made the CM of Andhra-That't the million dollar question in Hyderabad....

I Pity for the soul of YSR-May his soul rest in peace.
