The recent release of Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy from Nellore Central jail has stirred controversy, primarily due to a social media blunder by the YCP. Pinnelli, who lost his Macherla seat this election, was previously jailed for destroying EVMs and assaulting TDP agents. Following the release, YCP's Twitter handle posted a video with the caption: “Former MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy has came out of detention in illegal cases.” This caption, which described Pinnell

YSR Congress Party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy held a crucial conference with his party's cadre and legal cell following a significant defeat in the recent elections.

The YSR Congress Party (YCP) has been vocal about alleged EVM tampering in Andhra Pradesh elections, with claims that the electoral process was compromised. YCP leaders and their social media supporters have propagated narratives suggesting that the election outcomes were influenced by manipulation of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Despite the lack of concrete evidence, these claims have sparked significant controversy. Recently, rumors circulated on social media alleging that t

The catastrophic reactor blast at Escientia Pharma in Atchyuthapuram SEZ, Anakapalle, has claimed the lives of 18 workers, marking one of the most devastating pharma accidents in Andhra Pradesh this decade.

At a recent event hosted by the Kshatriya Seva Samiti, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy lauded Pan-India star Prabhas for his significant contribution to globalizing Telugu cinema.

In a surprising development, BRS working president KTR has declared that the Rajiv Gandhi Airport in Hyderabad will be renamed if the BRS secures another term in office. The proposed new names for the airport include PV Narasimha Rao Airport or Ravishankar Airport.

In recent months, significant financial irregularities under YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's administration have come to light, sparking widespread controversy. The latest revelation involves a staggering expenditure of Rs 3.62 crores by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) on Egg Puffs for its staff over the past five years. This translates to an average annual expenditure of 72 lakhs, with the CMO allegedly consuming 993 Egg Puffs daily, amounting to a total of 18 lakhs Egg Puffs over the perio

Following significant electoral losses in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in 2024, both the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP) and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) are reevaluating their strategies.

India celebrated Independence Day on the 15th of this month with traditional festivities, including the Governor of Andhra Pradesh hosting an “At Home” event at his residence.

Despite receiving an invitation, Jagan Mohan Reddy, the leader of the Yuvajana Sramik

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, leader of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP), is set to give a significant boost to his wife YS Bharati's political career. With his mother YS Vijayamma and sister YS Sharmila distancing themselves from the party due to property disputes, Jagan is considering making Bharati a prominent figure in the YCP. This move aims to fill the leadership void and strengthen the party's appeal, particularly among women voters. In previous election cycles, Vi

RRR's Bold Claim: Last week, TDP MLA Raghu Rama Krishna Raju (RRR) made a provocative statement regarding the real estate markets of Hyderabad and Amaravati. He suggested that with the political resurgence of Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati's real estate sector is experiencing a significant boom, while Hyderabad is witnessing a 10-15% decline in its market appeal. This assertion quickly gained traction on social media, sparking a wide-rang

Power has a profound impact on the lives of politicians, a fact vividly illustrated by recent events involving former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. During his tenure as CM, Jagan enjoyed the luxury of flying in private jets, a privilege that facilitated his personal and professional travel with utmost convenience. This exclusive air travel arrangement underscored the distinction and ease afforded by political power. However, the recent electoral loss has brough

In a surprising political development, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition, comprising TDP, BJP, and Janasena, has decided not to contest the MLC by-election scheduled for August 30th in Andhra Pradesh. This decision follows the disqualification of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MLC Vamshi Srinivas Yadav, who defected to Janasena, leaving the MLC seat under the local bodies quota in Visakhapatnam vacant. The Election Commission subsequently announced the by-election. YSRCP

It has been six months since Revanth Reddy took charge as the CM of Telangana and he has now started the drive to redesign Telangana emblem and also compose an exclusive song for Telangana. Coming to the Telangana oriented song, it has been titled Jaya Jaya He and it is to be composed by MM Keeravani. But this hasn't sat well with BRS leader RS Praveen Kumar and he asked Revanth Reddy to go to AP if he wants to continue AP-born Keeravani to compose Telangana's song.

The ruling party YSR Congress is overwhelmingly confident about the electoral mandate in Andhra Pradesh, to the extent that Jagan confidently announced he would take charge as the CM for the second time from Vizag. YV Subba Reddy has taken another step forward and said Jagan will take charge as the CM at 9:35 AM on 9th June. These overtly confident comments from the ruling party were ridiculed by the Telugu Desam outfit today as Raghu Rama Krishna Raju and Ganta Srinivas briefed the

CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has completely disregarded Prashant Kishor, the man who led his poll campaign in 2019 and played a significant role in the humongous win. Jagan visited the I-PAC office today and remarked that Prashant Kishor is mere nothing and it is the I-PAC team that does all the hard work. Jagan noted that the verdict in 2024 will be much more in favor of YCP than in 2019. He said the party would exceed the 151 MLA and 22 MPs tally.  The YSR Congress presiden

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSR Congress is an unassailable force in the Rayalaseema region. This can be understood if we look at the fact that the party won 49 out of the 52 assembly segments in the Seema region in the 2019 election. YCP outrightly dominated TDP here.  But come 2024, the equation has changed almost completely. On one side, there is the anti-incumbency factor and on the other, there is the Sharmila factor. Sharmila, who was extremely determined to eat into the v
