Ramya Join Youth Congress

Ramya, a popular star of Sandalwood, Kollywood and Tollywood, who was involved in a few controversies of an assorted kind in the recent past, has tweeted that she would be actively involved in youth Congress activities from now.

She is said to have posted in Twitter that she would help the youth Congress which is being rejuvenated and would join it formally very soon. The youth Congress sources indicated that she may choose the occasion of youth Congress head Rahul Gandhi's impending visit to the Garden City on April 20 to take the plunge. The massive rally to be held on the palace grounds could mark her formal entry in Rahul's presence.

Ramya has said that she has been enamoured of the leadership qualities in Rahul Gandhi and has decided to involve herself in youth Congress activities and help in organizing the youth power. However, she would not play an active role in politics, she has indicated.

Ramya, born as Divya Spandana in Bangalore, studied at St Hilda's school in Ooty and in Sacred Heart School (Church Park), Chennai, Tamil Nadu. She pursued her graduation at St Joseph's College of Commerce, Bangalore, but discontinued. Ramya is known in Tamil and Telugu film world as Divya or Divya Spandana, which is her original name.

She is considered as a bold girl and is also referred to as Golden Girl. The last controversy she got entangled in was regarding the Kannada movie, Dandam Dashagunam. She was so upset with the episode that she had announced her retirment from acting. She later agreed continue under pressure from her fans.

She had also announced that another expected hit of hers, Sanju Weds Geeta, would be her last film. She is one of the producers of the movie and the posters proudly scream, ‘Sandalwood Queen Ramya Presents’. The producers Pramod Narayan and Nagashekar started the film and Ramya is said to have helped them in the completion of the movie.

In the south, films and politics have always had a close connection. Sources close to her said that she has an ambition to be in politics with an aim to cleanse the dirt that has partly the smeared the film world.

Kerala Mochana Yatre

KASARGOD: KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala flagged off the Kerala Mochana Yatra of the UDF in Uppla on 10th jan.2010 Monday evening, kicking off the election campaign for the Assembly polls in the state.

Mounting a blistering attack on the LDF and the CPM, and setting the tone for the UDF election campaign, Ramesh Chennithala said the LDF Government has degenerated into a mafia rule, which had registered the largest number of criminal cases in the country.

Stating that the state was being ruled by a band of anarchists, Ramesh Chennithala said, "we have a Home Minister who had said that bombs would be manufactured in front of even police stations." The fourandahalf year rule of the LDF has ripped off the mask of Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, he said.

Criticising the development agenda of the LDF, he said the Smart City project initiated under the previous UDF government has not been materialised so far. "When the UDF Government comes to power, we will have not one but two smart city projects," he added.

The arrogance of the CPM leaders has alienated the people from the party and development dreams of the state remained shattered. Stating that the CPM was standing for the interests of the affluent class, the KPCC president said the party was now constructing skyscrapers and neglecting the poor.

The CPM has been facing defeat after defeat, first in the byelections, then in the Lok Sabha election and now in the election to the local self governments. The verdict of the people against the LDF Government was well reflected in all these elections, he said.

There was no governance in the state except the fight between CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan and Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, he said.

Taking the cue from Ramesh Chennithala, UDF leaders, who addressed the rally trained their guns on the CPM and the alleged mindboggling corruption of the CPM ministers in the lottery scandal. Kerala Congress leader K M Mani said the impending election was going to be a kurukshetra battle. R Balakrishna Pillai and K M Mani also focused on the corruption of the LDF ministers. T M Jacob said even Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan had said that a whopping `80,000 crore was involved in the lottery scam. Opposition Leader Oommen Chandy, who leads the yatra, said the LDF Government has lost its moral right to rule the state. He said the government lacked the will power to implement development programmes.

"The people are going to understand the difference between the LDF and the UDF," he said. "The UDF remained united but disunity was the hallmark of LDF," he added. Stating that the people desired liberation from the corrupt and morally degraded LDF Government, he said the LDF Government had failed to utilise the development prospects of the state and solve the problems of the people.

Oommen Chandy said that Chief Minister had stated that he would seize the Tata's land in Munnar, but the same land was notified by the UDF Government led by Achutha Menon as government land in 1974. He said 800 acres of the Munnar land was illegally occupied by CPM supporters. UDF leaders T M Jacob, K M Mani, M V Raghavan, Rajan Babu, R Balakrishna Pillai, Cherkalam Abdulla, Manhalamkuzhi Ali, and M P Veerendra Kumar addressed the function.
