The political atmosphere in Andhra Pradesh has heated up once again following a controversial incident involving YSR Congress senior leader Ambati Rambabu. The YSR Congress Party has been attempting to counter criticism surrounding the Tirupati Laddu controversy by highlighting the findings of a Special Investigation Team report, which stated that no animal fats were mixed in the sacred prasada

In a major political development, the central government is reportedly preparing to table the Amaravati amendment bill in the parliament, a long-standing demand pushed forward repeatedly by Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu. For months, Naidu has been urging the centre to legally cement Amaravati as the state’s official capital in order to protect it from any future policy reversals or political disruptions. His appeal was fueled by concerns that future governments, including

A tense moment unfolded at the Nampalli CBI court as Andhra Pradesh former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy arrived for the ongoing hearing in his disproportionate assets case. During his visit, he reportedly came face-to-face with his cousin sister, Dr. YS Sunitha Reddy. The encounter drew attention due to the long-standing family friction linked to the murder case of her father, YS Vivekananda Reddy. Sunitha has been pursuing justice in her father’s murder case and has frequently approached the CBI court demanding a faster investigation. She has also suggested the involvement of individuals associated with Jagan’s close circle, leading to a complete breakdown of relations between the two families. Their strained dynamic set the stage for an emotionally charged atmosphere at the court premises.  Despite crossing each other’s paths, both Jagan and Sunitha reportedly avoided any direct acknowledgment or interaction. They took separate routes within the court premises, ensuring no verbal or visual communication. The silence between the two reflected the deep personal and political rift that has remained unresolved for years. What makes the situation striking is that instead of standing together as family during times of legal and emotional turmoil, the cousins find themselves on opposing ends. Sunitha continues to question individuals like Avinash Reddy—key figures close to Jagan—while urging the Chief Minister to show compassion and support in pursuing the truth behind her father’s murder. However, her appeals have not resulted in any reconciliation, highlighting a widening divide within one of Andhra Pradesh’s most influential political families.
