He is widely regarded as one of the best officers in the history of India. In New Delhi, he was nick named as the Demolition Man for his sheer determination to make Delhi free from encroachment and illegal settlement. Taking a look at numbers, while being the Chief of DDA, he had demolished around 15, 000 illegal buildings in Delhi.



He had joined BJP in 2011 when he was already an MLA (had won with the support of Left Front).

BJP doesn’t have any MP from Kerala. The party is also in no mood of appointing a nominated Rajya Sabha MP as minister. In this vacuum, Modi couldn’t find a better match than Alphons Kannanthanam, the distinguished former IAS officer.


Alphons is also a pioneer of literacy movement in India in general and Kerala in particular. As the District Magistrate of Kattayam in 1989, he initiated an innovative project for literacy which resulted in 100% literacy rate for this district – first in India.

Sreeraj Chennupati (Kishan Modugumudi): Profile and Prostitution Racket Info

Sreeraj Chennupati or Kishan Modugumudi is a failed Telugu film producer who has shifted to the USA for better business opportunity. He is also an active member of American Telugu Association (ATA). The motive for shifting to the USA was noble – to earn money and that is not wrong. However, in the pursuit of more money, he started to do something sinister – to become the master of a sex racket.
While attending an ATA event, he came in contact with Chandrakala Purnima. She was making huge sum of money by sleeping around with rich Telugu NRIs. She was also arranging girls for them.
