The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), known for its strong presence among the masses in Andhra Pradesh, has achieved an extraordinary milestone with its ongoing membership drive. In less than a month, TDP has successfully enrolled 50 lakh new members, a feat that showcases the party's deep-rooted influence in the region. With Andhra Pradesh’s population in 2022 at 5.33 crore, this means 10% of the state's population is now registered as TDP members. This massive membership sur

BR Naidu, a prominent media figure and owner of TV5 Media, has traditionally been a reserved individual, rarely making public appearances despite leading a major media channel. However, his recent appointment as the Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has marked a change in his approach. Naidu has become more vocal and has started participating in media interviews, shedding light on his long-standing association with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and his aspirations for the TT

The 1990 Immigration Act brought significant changes to the H-1B visa program and employment-based green cards, imposing caps of 65,000 and 140,000 annually, respectively. These restrictions were implemented without considering the growing demand for skilled labor fueled by technological advancements. The arbitrary cap on H-1B visas quickly became insufficient as more than 70% of graduate students in tech fields at US universities were international students. In response to the escalat

The tyrant rule of YCP is far gone but the repercussions of the same are still very much persistent in the social fabric. Proving this point right, a Vijayawada TDP leader committed suicide after being put through hell by certain men from the YCP ecosystem. Going into the story, Karampudi Ravindra is a native of Vijayawada and he is reportedly active in TDP. However, his life went to hell when he was targeted by a group of YCP leaders over unpaid dues. Reportedly, Ravindra had R

The 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections have witnessed a significant political shift, particularly in the Nellore region, which was once a stronghold of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has managed to completely overturn the political landscape in the region, winning all 10 seats in the Nellore segment, a remarkable turnaround from their complete defeat in the 2019 elections. This transformation in Nellore can be largely attributed to the strategic defection of

N. Lokesh, the IT Minister of Andhra Pradesh, took a direct shot at YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s approach to decentralization during his speech in the state assembly. Lokesh mocked Jagan’s vision, claiming that the construction of a palatial building with an extravagant budget of Rs 500 crore hardly aligns with the concept of decentralization. He said, "Building a palace does not reflect true decentralization; it is a misuse of public funds for personal gain." Lokesh

In a surprising turn of events, Sri Reddy, once a controversial figure in Andhra Pradesh politics for her abusive attacks on leaders from the TDP (Telugu Desam Party) and JSP (Jana Sena Party), has issued a public apology to key political figures, including Chandrababu Naidu, Lokesh, and Pawan Kalyan. Known for her harsh and often vulgar social media posts and videos aimed at these leaders, Sri Reddy's past actions were part of a broader wave of hostility from the YSR Congress Party (YSRC

After cracking the whip on social media activists of the YSR Congress party for their alleged vulgar and obscene posts on social media against the TDP leaders and their alliance partners, the Andhra Pradesh police are now targeting film personalities who had targeted the TDP leaders during the YSRCP regime. On Wednesday, the Andhra Pradesh police served notice on ace director Ram Gopal Varma for posting derogatory comments and pictures on social media against TDP president N Chandrabab

Not so long ago, former MP from YCP, Raghu Rama Krishna Raju, faced a tumultuous period in Andhra Pradesh, enduring threats of arrest and harassment from ex CM Jagan Mohan Reddy. Despite being a sitting MP, RRR was arrested by AP CID and subjected to torture, highlighting the extent of political vendetta he had to endure. However, RRR refused to succumb to Jagan's oppression and strategically made his move by joining TDP ahead of the 2024 polls. Winning Undi with a significant majo

Donald Trump’s presidential appointments of Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz mark a decisive shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly in relation to China. Rubio, tapped as Secretary of State, and Waltz, named National Security Advisor, represent a hawkish approach to international relations, one that sharply contrasts with

TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu has made a remarkable comeback in the AP elections, leading his party from ashes to glory in alliance with BJP and JSP. Today, he is hailed as the most powerful CM in all of India by leading national media giant, India Today. According to the latest report, Chandrababu stands as the most powerful CM in India and ranks 5th among the most powerful individuals in the country.

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Pulivendula MLA and leader of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YCP), has reportedly decided to indirectly boycott the upcoming sessions of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly. Jagan, who held the position of leader of the house between 2019 and 2024, has chosen not to attend the current budget session. This decision has raised eyebrows and triggered political speculation about the reasons behind his absence. A TDP spokesperson recently shared a post on

Raghu Rama Krishna Raju (RRR), once a vocal critic and rebel MP from the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YCP), has experienced a major political transformation. After his fallout with YCP Chief Jagan Mohan Reddy, RRR found himself ostracized, even being barred from entering Andhra Pradesh at one point. His once-promising political career was marred by hostility and isolation from both party leadership and fellow MPs. However, RRR’s fortunes took a sharp turn when he joi

That Andhra Pradesh state IT and education minister Nara Lokesh is gradually emerging as the heir apparent of his father and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is being established gradually in the TDP and also the government. The way the TDP ranks have been calling Lokesh the future chief minister of Andhra Pradesh on social media and the state government carrying his picture on the front page advertisements of the official programmes along with his father clearly indicated that Lokesh is em

Donald Trump’s recent vow to stop renewable energy projects, particularly offshore wind farms, on the first day of his potential presidency has raised alarm bells across the clean energy sector. In a statement that shocked industry leaders, Trump promised to “make sure that ends on day one,” referring to the offshore wind farms that are seen as a key component of the Biden administration’s green energy agenda. The pledge sent ripple effects through the stock market, wi

The possibility of Donald Trump returning to the White House in 2024 raises important questions about the future of India-US relations. A second Trump presidency could bring significant shifts across several key areas, including trade, immigration, military cooperation, and broader diplomatic engagement. During his first term, Trump’s “America First” agenda and his transactional approach to foreign policy led to major policy changes such as tariffs on foreign goods

The 2019 election results were a devastating blow to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), marking the worst electoral verdict in its history with only 23 seats won. As doubts about the party’s future circulated, the YSR Congress Party (YCP) led by Jagan Mohan Reddy intensified efforts to weaken the TDP by arresting its leader, Chandrababu Naidu, and undermining the morale of its supporters. Despite these challenges, TDP demonstrated remarkable resilience. In the 2024 elections, the p

Nara Lokesh, the scion of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), is currently on an extended trip to the USA, where he is actively engaging with global tech giants to attract investments to Andhra Pradesh. One of the highlights of his visit occurred in Atlanta, where he unveiled a statue of the legendary Sr NTR, commissioned by the NRI TDP workers.
