In Andhra Pradesh, a significant shift has occurred in the state's police department following the transition from YCP to TDP government.

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.

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

One of the main complaints against the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan was his fascination with "Paradhas" and the culture of halting the traffic for extended periods.  Reportedly, there were instances when the traffic used to be halted for nearly an hour or more if Jagan was going to public events. It is seen that this anti-public stance also contributed to his downfall.  It appears, Chandrababu Naidu has taken a cue or two from this m

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.

It is no secret that power is virtually everything in politics. When you are in power, the entire world seems to be at your feet, but when you lose power, the entire world seems to have you in its first. Sadly for ex CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, he is having to experience this hard fact in the most fierce way possible.  While Jagan Mohan Reddy got on his way to the AP assembly on the day of taking the oath, he didn't have the luxury of entering in CM status. Jagan had to enter the
