Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Ukraine on Friday, according to officials, following Kyiv's criticism of him for embracing President Vladimir Putin during his recent visit to Russia, a traditional ally of India.

The Andhra Pradesh police department has intensified its scrutiny of YCP leaders accused in various criminal cases, with Devineni Avinash recently becoming the latest target.

His involvement in this case has drawn substantial a

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

In Andhra Pradesh, a significant shift has occurred in the state's police department following the transition from YCP to TDP government. Over 16 IPS officers, who were previously known for their allegiance to the YCP, have been stripped of their posts and are now waiting for new assignments. This move, seen as a demotion, underscores the changing dynamics of political loyalty within the state’s law enforcement agencies. Key officers affected by this reshuffle include PSR

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.

In a bizarre development within Andhra Pradesh politics, the controversy surrounding YCP MLC Duvvada Srinivas and Divvela Madhuri has intensified, with a new and unexpected element introduced into the saga. The relationship between Duvvada Srinivas and Divvela Madhuri, who are living together despite being married to others, has sparked protests from Duvvada's wife and daughter. The situation has captured widespread media attention and public interest. Adding a unique twist to t

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

Divvela Madhuri, once an obscure name, has recently become the center of controversy in Andhra Pradesh due to her association with YCP MLC and former MLA Duvvada Srinivas. The public's interest surged after allegations surfaced about Madhuri living with Srinivas, who is still married and has a grown daughter. The situation has raised concerns and criticisms regarding the nature of their relationship, leading to intense scrutiny. In a recent interview, Divvela Madhuri attempted t

The Democratic primary that many hoped to avoid has unfolded, largely behind the scenes, with intense competition for the role of Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate. The final phase of the selection process has taken an unpleasant turn, with donors, interest groups, and political factions within the party debating their preferred candidates and highlighting the weaknesses of others. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, considered a top contender, has faced significant opp

It is very much evident that CM Revanth Reddy has been going particularly hard against the drug peddling and consumption activity in Hyderabad. The Telangana government recently introduced rapid drug tests that would detect drugs from samples in just 10 minutes.  Now, in a new enforcement, the Telangana government has enforced a new measure at the pubs in Hyderabad which are otherwise seen as breeding grounds for drug abusers.  Hyderabad police have reportedly de

While it is an established fact that Nandamuri Balakrishna has the bloodline of the legendary Sr NTR, his political connections have hit a new peak now. In fact, Balayya can be called the most "connected" politician in the Telugu land.  Firstly, Balayya's father Sr NTR is the late chief minister of erstwhile AP and founder of Telugu Desam which has been relevant in Telugu politics for the last 4 decades and is one of the oldest regional parties in the country.&nbs

In his first major Delhi tour after fully assuming his duties as the CM of AP, Chandrababu Naidu is bound to discuss several relevant topics with PM Modi. Naidu, along with Payyavula Keshav, Narayana, and others is set to meet the BJP bosses and union ministers to discuss the underlying issues related to AP. It is heard that a very important yet grossly ignored topic is likely to be presented by Chandrababu at the center. This is regarding the control of prices of essential commodit

Back in 2021, Pawan Kalyan made a strong statement against the then Kakinada MLA Dwarampudi Chandrasekhar Reddy saying he will put an end to the YCP MLAs's Goonda Raj. When this happened, Dwarampudi was in power, and moreover the support of the YCP government so he disregarded Pawan's aggressive statement.  But today, the roles have absolutely reversed with Dwarampudi losing MLA post and Pawan becoming the deputy CM of AP. Incidentally, a property belonging to

Prior to the 2024 election campaign, Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy was just an MLA candidate from Macherla. But after the EVM smashing incident in Macherla during this year's polling, Pinnelli became a hot topic statewide. Now, he has been arrested and sent to jail.  The more interesting thing is that Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy already had 14 cases filed against him, including murder cases, but never spent time in jail.  But with the onset of the TDP government

Chandrababu Naidu has taken charge as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh for the fourth time and he is actively working on rebuilding the fiscal condition of the state. Alongside, Naidu is focused on highlighting the bad work done by the previous YCP government so that the public is aware of what's happening.  In this context, Chandrababu has apparently decided to unveil a white paper based on the bad work done by the previous YCP government with regard to the Polavaram p

The former chief minister of the Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has seen a steep downfall in his political career with his YCP being downsized to just 11 seats in the assembly. As a result, Jagan doesn't even have the opposition leader status.  Agitated by this, Jagan asked the AP assembly speaker, Ayyannapatrudu to accord him the opposition status and wrote an elaborate letter to publicize the same.  "There is no constitutional rule that a party mu
