BJP Senior Leader Sushma Swaraj died on Tuesday night at AIIMS after suffering a cardiac attack. She served as external affairs minister in the first Narendra Modi government. She opted out of contesting the Lok Sabha elections held a few months ago citing health reasons. A diabetic, Swaraj had undergone a kidney transplant in December 2016.
Though Swaraj&rsquo;s father was associated with the RSS, she began her political career with the Janata Party. She joined the BJP later and rose within the ranks to become one of its most prominent women leaders.
Swaraj was information and broadcasting minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government and one of the commendable performances was her deft handling of the media during the India-Pakistan Agra summit in 2001 which ended on a sour note.
Known for her oratorical skills, Swaraj was the archetypal face of the Indian woman. She took up women&rsquo;s issues within the BJP as well as on public platform. BJP&rsquo;s decision in 2008 to have 33% reservation for women among the office-bearers was due to her efforts.
Here are few other great achievements of Sushma Swaraj:
1. Youngest Cabinet Minister at 25 years of age.
2. Made Indian film industry eligible for bank finance.
3. Set up 6 AIIMS.
4. Raised Balochistan issue in UN.
5. Act East Policy.
6. Resolved Doklam.
7. Rescued 90,000 distressed Indians.

Sushma Swaraj Great Achievements

Power Star Pawan Kalyan, chief of Janasena, is surprising all with his resolve even after facing a shock defeat in the recently held elections in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. While his party Janasena got decimated, he too got defeated in Bheemavaram and Gajuwaka. Many expected Pawan to dissolve his party and return back to films.
However, Pawan Kalyan made it clear that he will be in full-fledged politics and in no mood to back off. Pawan has been visiting various constituencies and during his interaction with Naraspuram constituency leaders and cadre, he said, &ldquo;One can emerge victorious only if they remain patient and have the courage to face defeats.
Even if people do not vote for me, I will work to solve their problems. Many got dejected after my defeat in Bheemavaram. However within ten minutes, I regained my composure and thought what next and how long we will rue the defeat. I will run the party till my last breath.&rdquo;
Pawan Kalyan then shocked all saying, &ldquo;My brother Chiranjeevi's mild nature resulted in Praja Rajyam debacle. He with mild nature and pressure failed to run Praja Rajyam. Had he made all the leaders to sit and motivated talking to them like what I am doing now, Praja Rajyam would have been existing today. Janasena has one MLA now and in future, the party will occupy all the seats in the AP assembly."
Pawan Kalyan also said that his party has decided not to comment on the newly-formed YSRCP government till it completed 100 days in office.

Power Star Pawan Kalyan, chief of Janasena, after the shock he received from the recently concluded assembly and lok sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is not in active mode.
Pawan who already made it clear that he will come up with mission 25 to power Janasena, however, has been blowing hot and cold. Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan landed in trouble with a case was filed against him.
Sometime back Pawan Kalyan made startling remarks against Telangana movement saying that the agitation for statehood was carried out by a few drunkards.
He said the agitation was called off once the liquor was banned. People who participated in Telangana statehood fight took his comments seriously and protested in front of Pawan's house in Banjara Hillas and also in front of Janasena office in Banjara Hills.
They even filed a complaint against Pawan Kalyan at the Jubilee Hills police station. How Pawan comes out of this controversy should be seen as he is not available for comments.

Pawan In Trouble For Controversial Remarks

Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan today met with party workers and leaders at JSP headquarters in Mangalgiri. Speaking on the occasion, he said that there is a severe shortage of sand in the state. &ldquo;Due to lack of sand, party office construction has been halted,&rdquo; he said.
Pawan Kalyan also warned ruling YSR Congress Party over other problems being faced by people of Andhra. &ldquo;We are giving 100 days time for YSRCP to address the problems of the people. If the problems are not solved within this deadline, Janasena will begin protests soon,&rdquo; he warned.
Pawan Kalyan asserted that YSRCP and TDP leaders had approached him for an alliance in the recent elections. He however clarified; he refused the proposals since he didn&rsquo;t want alliance with any party.
On the other hand, Pawan Kalyan along with Naga Babu and Nadendla Manohar formally met Andhra Pradesh Governor Biswabhushan Harichandan at Raj Bhavan, since he did not attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Governor.
It seems Pawan Kalyan is very serious about making his party emerge as an alternative in Andhra Pradesh.
Curiously, YS Jagan reviewed the sand situation and asked District Collectors to make sure its availability.

Pawan 100 Days Deadline To YS Jagan

Natasimha Nandamuri Balakrishna surprised political analysts by overcoming the strong pro Jagan wave and retained his constituency Hindupur to become MLA once again in the recently held elections in Andhra Pradesh.
Balakrishna for long has been sailing on two boats, films and politics. Of late, pressure is mounting on him to enter into full fledged politics. Inside talk is former AP CM, TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu too is planning to make him in charge of the party in Rayalaseema to revive the fortunes after the crushing defeat.
But Balakrishna made it clear that he will not enter into full time politics. He has lined up a project with director KS Ravikumar and is planning films with Boyapati Srinu and VV Vinayak. He is in talks with Anil Ravipudi too.
Many are wondering whether Balakrishna will have a positive or negative effect. Balakrishna often carries his on screen image in real life and this lands him in trouble. His aggression and irresponsible acts like hitting people surrounding him and senseless talk may act against the party in negative manner.
But supporters say his entry into fulltime politics will galvanize the party and cadre, motivating them to put in extra effort.

Will Balakrishna take the responsibility for TDP?
