Good rains, harvest and big role for KCR
Trouble likely in departments headed by KTR, Indrakaran
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will play a “key role” in national politics, according to Udagi predictions made on Sunday.
Reading out the almanac at the official Ugadi celebrations at Pragathi Bhavan, vedic scholar Bachampalli Santosh Kumar Sastry said that due to “suryabalam” and “gurubalam”, in the Telugu Vilambi Nama Samvatsaram, Mr Rao will wield enormous power not only at the state level but at the national level too this year.
He predicted good rains, good harvest, full irrigation projects and tanks but delayed rains will be a cause of concern.
He said there will be good rains in October and warned of floods in December.
“Real estate sector in the state will boom; gold and silver will witness a rise in price,” Mr Sastry said.
Interestingly, he predicted adverse conditions for municipal administration and mining departments headed by the CM’s son, K.T. Rama Rao, while the endowments department headed by minister A. Indrakaran Reddy will face corruption charges.
He forecasted a better law and order situation.
He said Cabinet ministers will struggle to match the pace at which the CM will work and it would be tough for five or six ministers to get Cabinet berths again. He predicted that those with ‘kumbh rasi’ would get party tickets easily in the 2019 polls. He advised people not to consume meat on Sundays in Vilambi Nama Samvatsaram.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday said that Ugadi almanac has reaffirmed that Telangana would remain a ‘revenue-surplus state’ and the dream of “Bangaru Telangana” will be realised soon.
Mr Rao was speaking at the official Ugadi celebrations held at Pragathi Bhavan.
“The almanac has predicted an income of eight and expenditure of two for Telangana, which shows that our state will prosper this year too. Also it predicted honour of seven and insult of two due to which TS will earn good name, fame and respect,” he said.
The Chief Minister stated that TS was paying `50,000 crore to Centre towards various taxes but gets only `24,000 in return by way of tax devolution.
“Today, Telangana has reached a position where it can sustain on it’s own financial resources while contributing to the nation and play a major role in nation building exercise. Our argument during our agitation for statehood that Telangana will become a revenuesurplus state if Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated, has proved right. We have been consistently witnessing revenue surplus since Telangana is formed in June 2014 till date,” the CM added.
The CM congratulated home minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy, DGP Mahender Reddy and health minister C.Laxma Reddy for Ugadi almanac predicting better law and order and health sectors.
“Our police is doing a commendable job in maintaining law and order for the past four years. They earned awards and appreciations from several national and international agencies,” he said.
Referring to almanac prediction that party tickets for 2019 elections will be guaranteed for those with ‘kumbh rasi’, Mr Rao said, “Those with other rasis should be careful. All the ticket aspirants should be those who worked at groundlevel and did not confine themselves to Hyderabad. If they remain with people and work for them, they will earn good name and they would get party tickets.”
