UPA2 leader Sonia Gandhi gift to DMK is revival

of  Tamil Nadu Legislative Council by end of this month.

After a suspension of 24 years the Council is revived.

--------------------------------

Once the Council is formed in mid February 2011 much before

Tamil Nadu polls, the DMK chief Karunanidhi wants K Anbalagan as Chairman

of 78 members Tamil Nadu Legislative Council,

----------------------------------

DMK is to give 8 seats of nomination to Congress. Karunanidhi also has 

plans to get Governor's nominations numbering twelve to DMK activists

With such DMK and Congress shall have a strength of 45

In the event of Jayalalitha returns to power - the legislative council

will be a blockade for all innovative measures. 

Internal Tamil Nad Congress politics is such that out of its 8 seats

G K Vasan, KV Thankabalu and Chidambaram group will now

begin to fight for their rights.

----------------------------

Green Minister Jairam Ramesh is keen to render vocal carnatic music 

at a function in Thiruvaiyaru to commemorate Thyagaraja Festival.

G K Vasan is the Chairman of the trust. But TNCC is surprised with

a new chemistry-between Jairam and Vasan,

They feel this new combination will further erode the

authority of Chidambaram in state politics.Adage is

"enemy's enemy is my friend"

---------------------------

Kiran Kumar Reddy Chief Minister found himself in a tight spot.

PMO and Finance Minister Offices insisted him to go slow on

implementation of Micro finance institution act passed by Andhra

assembly. Many of the Public Sector Banks oppose andhra act.

Kiran Reddy's first test case- will he oblige PM or dying farmers

due to MFIs

------------------------------

Fiasco at PM function during launch of mobile number portability

at Vigyan Bhavan. No live coverage of the PM speech or Kapil Sibal's

with TV channels were prevented to take wire into the second floor

as the hall was too cramped and small in size. TV cameras could not

be accommodated. SPG and PMO were upset with Kapil Sibal

for having chosen the smallest hall. From Mobile Number portability

the joke in Telecom is that fiasco will make Kapil Sibal portability easier

than number portability.

--------------------------------

Why Andhra Congress MPs meeting with Pranab Mukherjee

was held inside Parliament House on Thursday night.

Reason if it was held in Pranab da house in Talkatora Road,

like past two times, the Telangana students ghero the carcade

of Andhra MPs. Apart from this two students sat on bonnet of

of Pranab Mukherjee army vehicle. Police cannot shoot down

the telangana student . One Congress MP joked that student was

like a mouse on Shivling. You cannot smash a mouse, as blood

will come on ling.
