    Complete failure of law and order in the state: Gidugu Rudra Raju

    Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gidugu Rudra Raju alleged that law and order situation declined in the State and anti-social elements are ruling.

    He said the brutal murder of a 15-year-old boy in Repalle is the best example of the deteriorating condition of law and order in the State.

    Addressing the media at the party office Andhra Ratna Bhavan here on Wednesday, Rudra Raju extended condolences to the bereaved family.

    He said Congress is trying to help the family of the deceased boy.

    Referring to the Youth Congress, he said the All India Youth Conference will be held in Bengaluru from July 10 to 12.

    He released a poster in this regard. He said the conference will discuss various issues and declare the plan of action about the future of youth in the country.

    Referring to the BJP-led Union government, the APCC chief alleged that the Central government betrayed the people of India. He said BJP promised to provide two crore jobs in a year, but grossly ignored the promise.

    AICC secretaries Mayappan, Christopher Tilak, APCC working president Janga Gowtham, Mahila Congress leader Sunkara Padmasri, State Youth Congress president Lakkaraju Ramarao and other leaders participated in the press conference.

  • The Kerala Story Screenings Cancelled In Tamil Nadu Over Law And Order Concerns

    The Kerala Story Screenings Cancelled In Tamil Nadu Over Law And Order Concerns

    Amid stinging reviews, allegedly poor box office collections as well as protests, theatres in Tamil Nadu stopped the screening of “The Kerala Story” in the State from May 7 onwards.

    When this writer tried to book via online platforms for a Sunday afternoon show, it was not possible anymore.

    President of Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association, M Subramaniam, popularly known as Tiruppur Subramaniam, confirmed the news that the few multiplexes that had shown the film had decided to withdraw it.

    “The film was only shown in a few multiplexes owned by pan-India groups, mostly PVR. Locally-owned multiplexes had already decided not to show the film, as it did not have any popular stars. In Coimbatore for instance, there were two shows so far — one on Friday and one on Saturday. Even those did not do well. Given that, theatres decided that it was not worth going through the threat of protests and such,” added Subramaniam.

    On April 6, Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) staged a protest against the release of the film in Chennai. Seeman, the party’s coordinator, who is also actor and director, along with NTK cadres, had protested near Anna Nagar Arch.

    Film industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai, who said he was planning to watch the film on Sunday, only to find out it was no longer shown, had also tweeted that the film multiplexes will stop screening “The Kerala Story”.

    “The multiplex owners have cited potential law and order issues and lack of interest as reasons for the move,” said Pillai.

    Meanwhile in Kerala, according to the distributors, E4 Entertainment, 22 screens across the State are screening the films. Although the theatre owners in Kerala had told Press Trust of India before the release of the film that they were not worried about the adverse publicity, on the day of release, on May 5, a few theatres, including PVR Cinemas at Lulu Mall and Oberon Mall in Kochi, decided not to screen the film. When contacted, a spokesperson for PVR Cinemas had declined to comment.
