Seemandhra plunges into darkness, trains cancelled
Hyderabad : Several towns and hundreds of villages in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh Sunday plunged into darkness while several trains were cancelled as the indefinite strike by electricity employees to protest the decision to divide the state hit power generation and supply. Following talks with the officials Sunday night, employees agreed to restore supply in six districts but made it clear that they would resume the strike Monday morning. Supply was restored in Chittoor, Kadapa, Nellore, Guntur, Prakasam and Krishna districts after Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (SPDL) managing director H.Y. Dora held talks with employees' leaders. The strike caused severe inconvenience to people in Seemandhra, as Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra are together known. There was no exemption to emergency services like hospitals, water supply and agriculture. Power supply in Vijayawada, Guntur, Ongole, Nellore, Anantapur and other towns was hit. In south coastal Andhra, employees cut supply to even the houses of central and state ministers, blaming them for the failure to stall the central government's decision to carve out separate Telangana state. Generation of 1,054 MW at Rayalaseema Thermal Power Station at Kadapa came to a halt due to strike, plunging many parts of Rayalaseema in darkness. Power supply to even famous Tirumala temple at Tirupati was disrupted. The supply was restored by the employees after talks with the temple authorities. Generation of 770 MW at Srisailam Hydel Power Station also came to a standstill. At Vijayawada Narla Tatarao Thermal Power Station, only 500 MW power was generated. The generation may come to a complete halt. Officials said if the strike continued, it may even lead to collapse of southern grid, affecting supply to entire south India. Electricity employees of Eastern Power Distribution Company Limited (EPDCL) have decided to join the strike from Monday. This could hit supply to Srikakulam, Vijayanagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari and West Godavari districts. Seemandhra electricity employees' Joint Action Committee (JAC) said over 30,000 electricity employees were participating in the strike. The South Central Railway (SCR) Sunday cancelled 24 passenger and four express trains as the electricity supply to railways was also hit. The cancelled train services include Vijayawada-Ongole, Guduru-Ongole, Tenali-Guntur and Tirupati-Guduru. The strike may affect electricity generation and supply not just in the 13 districts of Seemandhra, but may also hit transmission in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana region. The strike may also hit the southern grid as all four southern states -- Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu -- are inter-linked. Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy appealed to employees to call off the strike in view of the hardships to people. He reviewed the situation with the officials of Andhra Pradesh Transmission Corporation (AP Transco) and Andhra Pradesh Generation Corporation (AP Genco). The disruption of supply in Seemandhra area particularly in the districts of Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam, Nellore, Ananthapur, Kurnool was found to be quite worrisome, said a statement from the chief minister's office.

Rabri Devi to lead RJD in convicted Lalu's absence
Jailed RJD chief Lalu Prasads wife Rabri Devi, who like her husband is a former Chief Minister of Bihar, will lead the party in his absence, it was announced today. The decision to anoint 54-year-old Rabri was taken at a crucial meeting of RJD MPs, MLAs, MLCs and senior party functionaries at her residence here. "Prasad is our leader and will remain so in future...In his absence Rabri will guide us as she had done in the past," RJDs National General Secretary Ramkripal Yadav told reporters after emerging from the meeting. Rabri while addressing the meeting scotched speculation that she will contest the 2014 general elections from Chapra parliamentary seat of her husband, saying she was not greedy for any political post. Prasad is set to be disqualified from the Lok Sabha after his conviction in the fodder case. Prasad is lodged in a Ranchi jail after being convicted in a fodder scam case by a CBI court which handed him five years imprisonment. Rabri asked party leaders and workers to maintain rock-like unity in the hour of "crisis". "I appeal to you all to maintain rock-like unity and carry forward the partys programme and social justice agenda," she said. "All of you must shed your differences to stand united to make the party a strong political force in Bihar," Rabri said and outlined the partys political agenda over the next couple of months. She said the district and assembly constituency-level programmes of the party will go on as scheduled as decided earlier by Prasad. Rabri, who along with Prasad ruled Bihar for 15 years from 2000, dismissed talk of her party disintegrating after Prasads conviction, saying there was no question of any division, and that none of the leaders and workers were going anywhere. "The question about the RJD disintegrating or breaking apart simply does not arise," she said. Rabri was Chief Minister from 1997 to 2005 after Prasad handed over the reins of the state to her after the RJD strongman was charged in the fodder scam. Expressing faith in the higher judiciary and in the people, Yadav, a trusted lieutenant of the Prasad couple, said, "Prasad will come out unscathed (when he moves the high court) and will lead us once again in future." The RJD leaders and workers have pledged to remain united in this "hour of crisis" and expressed their determination to expose the conspiracy of JD(U) and BJP to get Prasad framed in the fodder scam case. RJD national spokesman Iliyas Hussain said the reins of the party still remained in the "strong hands" of Prasad. "He remains the undisputed leader of the party today and will be so in future as well." Rabri Devi will be the partys guiding force and RJD will carry out its scheduled programmes as usual, he added.

US forces nab Qaeda leader
In daring Abbottabad-type raid that killed Osama bin Laden, US Special Forces struck al-Qaeda hideouts in two far-flung African countries, capturing a top al-Qaeda leader from the streets of Libyan capital Tripoli and targeting a seaside villa of an al-Shabaab leader in Somalia. During a raid in Tripoli, the US Armys Delta Force yesterday captured al-Qaeda leader Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi, carrying a bounty of USD 5 million on his head for the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed over 220 people. "The successful capture operation was made possible by superb work and coordination across our national security agencies and the intelligence community, and was approved by President (Barack) Obama," Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said. Describing 49-year-old Libi as a bigger prize catch, Little said he was alive and in US custody. "As the result of a US counter-terrorism operation, Abu Anas al-Libi is currently lawfully detained by the US military in a secure location outside of Libya," he said, signalling Americas determination to pursue dreaded terrorists abroad. However, the raid on the Somali town of Barawe by members of SEAL Team Six, the same unit that killed bin Laden in his Pakistan hideout in 2011, failed to achieve its goal. In another pre-dawn strike, SEAL commandos swam ashore near Barawe to capture a high-value al-Qaeda linked al-Shabaab leader believed to be involved in the Westgate Mall attack in Kenya that killed nearly 70 people, including Indians. The US forces faced stiff resistance from al-Shabaad militants and were forced to retreat after a 15-20 minute gunfight, the New York Times said quoting a top US official. Although the Shabaab leader was believed to have been killed during the assault, the SEALs could not confirm it. Al-Shabaab had claimed responsibility for the Kenya massacre last month. "I can confirm that yesterday, October 4, US military personnel were involved in a counter-terrorism operation against a known al-Shabaab terrorist. We are not prepared to provide additional detail at this time," Little said. A US official said no US personnel were injured or killed in the attack.

2014 battle between Cong & RSS, says Ramesh
Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said on Sunday that the battle for the 2014 Lok Sabha election would be between the Congress and the Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh (RSS), and not the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "The developments in the last few months clearly show that the BJP simply dances to the tune of the RSS," said Ramesh, cautioning the Nitish regime that communal flare-ups like Muzaffarnagar riots could happen in Bihar, too. "We have concrete information that ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the saffron camp would make every effort to polarise society so that it could reap rich political dividends in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar," said Ramesh. The Union minister refused to shed light on whom the Congress will align with in 2014 polls—Nitish Kumar or Lalu Prasad—however, extended an olive branch to the Janata Dal-United strongman. "After the Food Security Act comes into force, we will double Bihar's quota on foodgrain from 28 lakh tonne to 56 lakh tonne per year," he said.
