Nadendla Bhaskara Rao - 1984 - Forming Government

Once Y.B.Chawan, who was then Chairman of Finance Commission came to Hyderbad. N.T.Rama Rao and Nadendla Bhaskara Rao gave their opinions to Y.B.Chawan regarding finance of the state.

Y.B.Chawan understood that, there are differences of opinions between NTR and Nadendla and told that to then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Central Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee came to Hyderabad and asked Nadendla to meet him in his friend's house. Nadendla talked to Pranab Mukherjee as Finance Minister. Pranab Mukherjee told Nadendla that, he (Nadendla) has the majority in the Assembly. After some time, in the same house Kotla Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy told him that, Nadendla was the leader of Kammas (Kamma Caste), and not N.T.Rama Rao. He also told him that, he was the only hope.

Once Nadendla went Delhi to get the relief fund for drought. But, N.T.Rama Rao did not like to ask center for anything. Nadendla met Pranab Mukherjee, and Pranab was ready to sanction relief fund. He asked Nadendla to meet the Prime Minister.

Indira Gandhi came to know about the differences in Telugu Desam party from her intelligence reports. She was unsatisfied with N.T.Rama Rao, since he scolded her and walked out from the National Development Council with other Chief Ministers. She was not happy with the behaviour of NTR.

Indira Gandhi told Nadendla that, he (Nadendla) started a regional political party, since he was not made as the Chief Minister in the Congress government. She asked him, why he made NTR as C.M. instead of he himself becoming C.M. Nadendla told her that, basically he was a Congress man, and likes Nehru and Indira Gandhi a lot. To develop the state, he started a regional party. He wanted to develop the state with the help of the union government. If the government is not ruled properly, then he would not support NTR. Indira Gandhi told him to be in touch with Moopanar. Wherever he wants to meet Moopanar, she would send him there. She also clearly told him to do not disclose these to anyone and specifically to P.V.Narasimha Rao.

N.T.Rama Rao sent an order from America to the Chief Secretary for flag hoisting by the Collectors in their respective districts. Nadendla did not like that, and he sent a letter to N.T.Rama Rao that, it should be done by the Ministers and not by the Collectors.

August 14th, 1984

When N.T.Rama Rao came to Mumbai, Chandrababu and his supporters went Mumbai and received him. From there itself, they started telling negatively about Nadendla. NTR did not know about the intricacies of these matters, and listened to Chandrababu for everything. He sent an order to the Governor to remove Nadendla from his Cabinet.

One friend of Nadendla from Governor Bungalow informed Nadendla that, Governor got a letter to remove him from the Cabinet. Nadendla also sent his resignation to Governor. Governor got two letters, one was resignation of Nadendla from the Cabinet and second one was removing Nadendla from the Cabinet.

Within one hour after the resignation of Nadendla, three more ministers and the Chief Whip resigned. That night, 90 MLAs came to Nadendla and told him that they are going to support him. All of them signed in support of him. Nadendla's signature was 91st. Chandrababu Naidu told NTR that, if Nadendla is removed from the cabinet, then there will not be more than 2-3 MLAs in support of him. But, after seeing 90 MLAs supporting him, NTR scolded and hated Chandrababu like anything.

Nadendla heard that, Chandrababu went to New M.L.A.quarters to bring MLAs, and he was beaten there.

August 15th, 1984

Nadendla and his supporters met Governor Ramlal between 8.30 AM - 9 AM. They told him that, they are going to withdraw support to N.T.Rama Rao. NTR also asked Governor for an appointment, but, Governor did not give any appointment. Nadendla felt, he should have given an appointment to him. Had he given the appointment, he would have come to know that, there are not that many supporters to NTR, and Governor would not have asked Nadendla to prove his majority within a month.

At that time, there was no act that prevents floor crossing. MLAs can move from any party to any other party.

NTR sent a letter to Governor with the signatures of his supporters. All opposition parties are supporting Nadendla.

After the Governor felt that, Nadendla had full support, he asked N.T.Rama Rao to resign. Nadendla told Governor that, he was not going after the Chief Minister post. If the opposition leader A.Madan Mohan was interested, he could become C.M., and Nadendla would support him externally. But, High Command was not interested in that. So, Governor asked Nadendla to form the government the next day.

August 16th, 1984

Nadendla Bhaskara Rao went to Raj Bhavan to take oath. At that time, Governor was giving interview to NTR and his associates. When the Governor was coming for oath ceremony, NTR obstructed him and did not allow even after the Governor asked. The Governor asked the Police Commissioner to arrest NTR. When Police Commissioner was arresting NTR, they took photos and got good publicity out of it. That police commissioner (Vijaya Rama Rao) later joined Telugu Desam Party and became Cabinet Minister.

There was a delay because of NTR. By that time, Rahukalam started. The Governor asked Nadendla to take oath at that time. Nadendla was not interested in taking oath at that time. But, Governor insisted that, state must have a C.M. at all times. Since, there was no C.M. then, and he must take oath immediately. Both NTR and Nadendla believe in astrology. If they take oath at the time of Rahukalam, the government would automatically collapse. NTR wanted that only, and Nadendla did not have any other option other than taking oath at the time of Rahukalam.

NTR took all the MLAs and MPs and went to the President, and presented everyone as MLAs. Then, he took all the MLAs went to Bangalore, and then to Mysore, and then to Nandi Hills. He took him to different places so that, Nadendla does not capture them.

August 17th, 1984 onwards

At the same time, all the opposition parties at the center supported NTR for their selfish reasons to bring down Indira Gandhi's government. Indira Gandhi recalled Governor Ramlal and made Shankar Dayal Sharma as the Governor. Nadendla says, Sharma got wrong feeding from the leaders of Telugu Desam Party, and he always acted with prejudice.

Shankar Dayal Sharma asked Nadendla to make Bagareddy as the speaker. Eventhough Nadendla did want to make him as the speaker, he made him as the speaker. Kotla Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy and P.V.Narasimha Rao criticized Nadendla for listening to the Governor in the selection of the speaker.

Speaker Bagareddy got a heart attack and left, and Nadendla made Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi as the speaker. To call for assembly, they need to give three days notice to the members. Governor had given one month notice to prove majority in the assembly. The one month period expired before the three days. So, Shankar Dayal Sharma asked Nadendla to resign for not proving the majority.

Nadendla told Shankar Dayal Sharma that, many MLAs were captured by NTR. He asked to release all the MLAs and let the MLAs select the Chief Minister. NTR did not allow to move any resolution in the assembly. Even if Nadendla resigns, NTR should not be asked to form the government, since, the MLAs were captured by NTR. Nadendla asked the Governor to have President Rule for few months, and then let the MLAs select the Chief Minister. But, the Governor did not listen to him, and asked Nadendla to resign and NTR to form the government.

Nadendla says, P.V.Narasimha Rao was the main reason for NTR to get back his power. P.V. sent N.G.Ranga, K.L.N.Prasad, Dr.Yalavarthi Nayudamma to Indira Gandhi, and told her that, NTR will not oppose her again and give back the power to him. But, at that time, K.L.N.Prasad acted like he was supporting Nadendla Bhaskara Rao.

After NTR became Chief Minister he went to Delhi and met Indira Gandhi and told her that, he would not oppose her again.

NTR wanted to prove that, he got the power by his own image, and not because of Nadendla Bhaskara Rao. He met the Governor Shankar Dayal Sharma and asked to dissolve the assembly. Nadendla told Shankar Dayal that, he was ready to form the government with the opposition parties and Independents. But, Shankar Dayal did not listen to him and dissolved the assembly. After that, he told Nadendla that, Indira Gandhi and P.C.Alexander told him to dissolve the government, and he did not have any other option.

Later on Ex-Home Minister of A.P., M.M.Hasheem asked Indira Gandhi, why she gave back power to NTR. Indira Gandhi told him that, it's all because of P.V.Narasimha Rao. He frightened her a lot. So, she could not do anything else.

In 1991, when P.V.Narasimha Rao contested from Nandyala for Loksabha elections, NTR did not put any candidate against him. At that time, NTR told that, for the first time, a person from Andhra Pradesh is going to be the Prime Minister, and he did not want to create an obstacle in his path. But, Nadendla says, since P.V. supported him in 1984 to get back his power, he did not put the candidate in 1991, and not because of any other reason.

Nadendla Bhaskara Rao - 1983 - 1984 May

TDP was formed on 1982 March 23rd, and N.T.Rama Rao took oath as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on 1983 January 9th. N.T.R. asked Nadendla Bhaskara Rao about the formation of Cabinet. Nadendla suggested that, Cabinet should have the following.

2 Reddys from Andhra
2 Reddys from Telangana
1 Brahmin
1 Harijan
1 Girijan
1 B.C.
1 Woman
1 Andhra Muslim

Nadendla also told NTR that, he is not interested in joining the Cabinet. But, NTR insisted that, he does not know anything about the administration, and Nadendla must join the Cabinet, and asked for his favorite ministry, and Nadendla chose Finance. Nadendla also prepared the list of entire Cabinet after NTR asked for that.

One day before the oath ceremony, Nara Chandrababu Naidu told NTR family members that, he would like to join Telugu Desam Party. After few days, he joined in TDP.

When Chenna Reddy was the Chief Minister of A.P., the retirement age is increased from 55 to 58. Nadendla was one reason behind that. When NTR became C.M., he listened to some people, and decided to reduce the retirement age to 55. Because of that decision, those who had 3 years service had to leave from the services immediately. It effected many people, and they went to court. Finally, court ruled in favour of the employees and government had to pay their salaries for the remaining service.

NTR cancelled all the Munasab and Karanam in Andhra, and Patel and Patwari in Telangana. By the cancellation of that, all kinds of official dynasty rules ended in A.P. Eventhough Nadendla criticized NTR for doing this, it was a very good step taken by NTR. There may be problems in implementation, but, overall it was a great step.

There was proposal to construct Kanaka Durga Varadhi combining Krishna and Guntur districts. Nadendla sent proposal to central government for four lane road. Since, Central government is also giving some money for this, it wanted one of the central minister to participate in the foundation ceremony. NTR did not like the central minister to participate in that. He did not invite anyone and constructed only two lane road. (Few years back, another bridge with two lane road was constructed next to that, and each bridge is used for one direction.)

NTR cancelled Sasana Mandali (Council). Because, he felt that it is not necessary. Nadendla says NTR was uncomfortable with the questions asked by the members of the council.

NTR started oner quasi judicial organization, Dharma Maha Matra, to control the corrupted officials. Nadendla says, it was used to control the sincere officials who opposed NTR.

In 1984, when Nadendla Bhaskara Rao introduced budget bill, NTR was not in assembly, eventhough he was the Chief Minister. He was in Secretariat at that time. Nadendla says, NTR does not like members appreciating Nadendla for his budget. That's why he did not come to the assembly.

There was Mahanadu on 1984 May 27th in Visakhapatnam. At that time, NTR wanted to propose a resolution to cancel Governor system. But, Nadendla opposed it very seriously, and said, he is not going to support it. Then, NTR withdrew that resolution.

Chandrababu and another person from Delhi encouraged NTR to unite all the opposition parties and to become PM. They invited all the opposition parties except BJP for the meeting. Even there were plans to include BJP also, but it was left-out because it is not secular party. ( Nadendla criticized BJP that, it won only 2 seats. But, it got 2 seats only in the elections that happened after that meeting. Before that, it had many seats.)

From the book Naa Jeevitha Prasthanam (My Life Journey) by Nadendla Bhaskara Rao.

No Common Sense For Bride's Parents

The definitions that I meant.

Would be - Before marriage, but after finalizing (finalizing need not be engagement)
Boy - The person who is in discussion, and not known before.
Known Boy - The person who is in discussion, but, the boy is known to the girl's family more than the other people in that situation.

In the career of boy, if he has more than 2 weeks of gap between any two jobs, it means, the previous company had fired him and he took some time to find the new job.

If the guy is working for a company, which does not come in news papers regularly (not like Satyam), then most probably, they would ask him to apply for big companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro etc. It does not matter if the boy's company's revenue is more than the revenue of Infosys, TCS and Wipro put together.

If the girl is working somewhere, they would not mind if she talks to her male colleagues for hours. But, they will have serious problems, if the boy talks to her more than few minutes. Few parents insist that, they have to be there when they talk first time.

The girl can travel alone in buses and autos, and can closely sit next to unknown guys. But, she cannot sit at a distance of one feet from the boy, eventhough they have been talking for more than a month.

The girl can go for a whole day trip with her male classmates/colleagues without any female friends. But, she cannot go anywhere with would be or known boy, even if she has complete control of whom all to invite with her from both the families.

Till the engagement is over, girl's parents think that, the boy is not at all a match for them. They find atleast one thing in which girl's family is better than boy or boy's family. Even if the boy is earning huge salary, still if their total wealth is less than the girl's family, the girl's family feels that, the boy is not at their level. If their wealth is more than girl's wealth, and previously they were not as rich, then they say that, "Now, they are at our level. But, previously, they were no match at all". If nothing works out, then they say that, the boy is dark-complexioned.

You cannot put any kind of conditions on girl. For example, if people in their community eats non-vegetarian, then the boy cannot put condition that girl should be a vegetarian. Atleast he should not say it in public. It is possible that, when the boy talks to girl (when nobody is around), he can ask her whether she is vegetarian or not. If she is a non-vegetarian, he can reject her. But, if he gives this reason while rejecting, then everybody will criticize him saying that, he has not told this before. If he tells before, there will be another kind of problems that he has to face. If the boy feels that, the reason should not reduce the confidence of the girl or her parents, then it is only his problem to come up with a valid reason.

The boy cannot talk to girl for a long time to decide. He cannot dump all the information in less time (for ex, by giving in writing), otherwise girl would be bewildered.

The parents of the girl may say that, since this is a life decision, so they have to be extremely careful. The boy is also trying the same. By having better communication, it would be better for both the boy and girl. The parents of the girl should give atleast the same respect that they give to a person who is lesser known than the boy.

After marriage, if the boy's mother does the same thing as girl's parents, they will make hundreds of movies and serials on her.
