Nothing to loose

Nothing to loose in this by-election results but we have to learn something over here!!!

People forgot the reason behind electing TRS candidates and this results clearly showing that.

I too agree that we need developed Telangana before separation but no need of blaming TRS MLAs for this, we elected them to project Telangana sentiment waves across the state and in india and they are up to the mark, and we need to wait for some time also it requires to support them every time they extend their hand towards us. But we have not done this and need to be feel ashamed for this everyone who voted against TRS.

This is the time to stand, support strengthen Telangana sentiment and TRS across all regions in Telangana and make the people understand that its not one election stint ... its long running fight against all Andhra politicians and parties who betraying Telangana and people in Telangana on all issues in this common state!!!

I’m from Hanamkonda saying this by looking at/walking on damaged or worst condition Hanamkonda chowrastha roads where Mp, MLA MLC and even ZPTC are from TRS. But I understand what our MLA, MP, MLC are doing for this district and to coming Telangana state and also I have clear understanding on why we voted and elected them. And I hope every one of you also understand after this.

TELANGANA by-elections results

Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) President K Chandrashekhar Rao was trailing in Karimnagar Lok Sabha constituency after the completion of first round of counting in the by-elections held at Andhra Pradesh.

According to latest reports the Congress party established initial leads in two Lok Sabha constituencies and was also ahead in four assembly seats while The TRS was ahead in two Lok Sabha and four assembly constituencies.

The main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidates were leading in four assembly constituencies.

TRS candidate S Ramalinga Reddy has defeated his nearest TDP rival C Muthyam Reddy by 5,142 votes in Dommat assembly by-poll.

Meanwhile, fierce three-corner contest was on in other constituencies as per the initial trends available here.

The Congress candidate and former Minister T Jeevan Reddy established a slender lead of 875 votes after the first round over Rao in the Karimnagar Lok Sabha seat.

The bypolls were held on May 29 to four Lok Sabha and 18 assembly elections in the state.

Crucial polls

It's a big day in Andhra Pradesh as counting of votes has started for the by-elections which took place on Thursday.

The by-elections are largely seen as a referendum on the Telangana statehood issue.

These polls are taking place less than a year before Andhra Pradesh goes to polls in 2009 because four Lok Sabha members of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti and 16 of their MLAs resigned in March.

The elections are seen as an acid test for TRS, led by K Chandrasekar Rao, which has been spearheading the statehood movement since its inception in 2001.

Many say that it is an unnecessary election and the idea behind is to hopefully win their seats again and show to the UPA leadership that there is a strong Telangana sentiment which Delhi needs to recognise. (With PTI inputs)

Pepsi’s Spoof On Thums Up

Pepsi’s Spoof On Thums Up - ad war

With summer setting in, cola giants have really turned the heat on each other. First, coca-cola’s Sprite spoofing Pepsi’s YOUNGISTAN campaign
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_N-FVryV1I).

Following the suit was Pepsi, taking on Thums Up commercial
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJxTQvdTsIY). I really enjoyed watching Pepsi’s answer to Thums Up. Must say, it’s a good job by ad agency. But there is flip side to it also. It is the first time when Pepsi as a Mother Brand has taken on any such spoof. Coke, as a main brand, has never deviated from the brand vision. They let the other brands( Thums Up, Sprite) to take care of all such campaigns. Pepsi should have avoided this direct confrontation. The spoof(Sprite) could have been easily taken care of by any of their non-cola brand like Mountain Dew.

But what I am sure is that both the brands will add to each others GRP’s. But who takes the cake is still remain to be seen. Let just sit and enjoy the summer while both the brands are sipping each other.
