Alien v/s Predator


This is not about the run away Sci-Fi Blockbuster movie but its about the war between the titans namely Ramoji Rao and Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy who are referred to as Alien and Predator respectively. This is purely about A.P. Politics , mind it!!

Alien was never into politics, He is a business tycoon from AP. He is to Andhra Pradesh what Dhirubhai Ambani is to India , Alien is an ernstwhile enterpreneur who is into many diversified Businesses, He is into Press in the form of Eenadu Group, Media in the form of E-TV network, Finance Business in the form of Margadarsi Group, Film Making in the form of Usha Kiron Movies, Film Distributorship in the form of Mayuri Distributors , Recordings in the form of Mayuri Audio , Instant foods in the form of Priya Pickles, instant mixes etc and last but no the least for his world famous Ramoji Film City which has recently beat Hollywood to emerge as the World's largest Film Studio.

Predator on the other hand is from the land of faction - Pulivendula , Rayalseema, known for his notoriety since his college days where he possessed grenades in his room while doing his medicine ,talks were already rife that he would become the Chief Minister in the future , Predator is a bigtime factionist whose faction records have been made to put to silence, Predator is a staunch supporter of the Congress which during his time was single handedly leading almost most of the states including A.P. until the emergence of Telugu Desam Party (T.D.P) in 1980 which sweeped the polls in early 1980's. Predator's dad Y.S.Raja Reddy was killed in a bomb blast with rumours that it was his son "Predator" who planned the deathblow.

Since the emergence of TDP, Alien had been a long time follower of the TDP and its allies courtesy - Magnificient turn around in the state developmet due to a worthy candidate ruling the state, Prior to the ruling of TDP , AP was reeling under lack of development, goons ruling the streets for maamools, law and order problems, unreasonbly high number of thefts, Security collapse literally getting AP at the brink of destruction, After TDP took its positions, the development was remarkable. Eenadu group at that time was single handedly the largest circulated telugu daily in Andhra Pradesh , Viewers got an opportunity to face the realities that have been changes due to a change in leadership. Eenadu Daily acted as a weapon to showcase the effective reforms, massive developments , reinvented joy and confidence among the people and resultantly TDP ruled the state till 2004.

Predator who had been through this era know how Alien used the press and media to put TDP to favour , After an election stunt in the form of "PadaYatra" , Predator could successfully make it to the CM post of Andhra Pradesh.

Since then Predator wanted to trigger a collapse of the Alien Empire, He started off by introducing Mr. Vundavalli Arun Kumar to raise a legal glitch by stating that Margadarsi( which was doing brisk business with not even a single default in payment by it to its customers) is not entitled to accept the deposits of the public.That matter had been doing rounds almost for a yer or two , After predator failed to trigger a collapse of the empire , He asked his son Y.S.Jagan to use the same weapon which Alien used to showcase TDP's developments - Press and Media , Within no time emerged a new brand - "Saakshi" Daily news Paper which dramatically achieved an overwhelming success in the form of viewership , an achievement which no telugu daily had been able to!, If u red this newspaper, you wont find even a single word which is anti congress , even if Congressmen commit a mistake or fault, it will be reflected as a mistake of fact or that its a act of the opposition! Saakshi soon entered the Media too in the form of Saakshi T.V. and has been able to achieve a good TRP ratings too!

The war was likely to intensify post 2009 elections, If TDP could have won then Alien could have waged another grand offensive against the predator, But with Congress winning the elections and forming the government, We are waiting for the next moves of the Predator , Lets witness the whole battle and Lets see who's gonna win the war - Alien or Predator?
