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.

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 much-anticipated release of Pushpa 2 is set for December 5, and it’s already making waves in both the Tollywood industry and Andhra Pradesh's political circles. Recently, YCP leader Ambati Rambabu weighed in on the film, expressing his belief that no political forces could prevent the film from succeeding at the box office.

The property dispute between YS Sharmila and her brother, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, has escalated into a major public conflict. During a press conference, Sharmila revealed that Jagan's group is willing to give her her rightful share of the family assets, but only if she agrees to stay silent and stop speaking against his leadership and political actions.

Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, who is also overseeing the Panchayat Raj and Forestry Departments, has raised concerns over the whereabouts of two luxury BMW cars that were seized during a sandalwood trafficking bust.

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

In a significant shift in the dynamics of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, the ruling party, Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YCP), is noticeably absent from the sessions, leaving a vacuum in the typical opposition role. Traditionally, the ruling party is on the offensive in the Assembly, while the opposition is tasked with questioning the government and holding it accountable. However, with YCP's boycott of the session, this expected dynamic is absent, and a few TDP MLAs ar

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.

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

Many YCP social media activists are facing legal issues, and it’s evident that their former leaders have distanced themselves, with some even fleeing abroad. However, some activists remain undeterred, willing to face arrest and jail time. Despite warnings, certain YCP social media activists persist in their actions, seemingly inviting legal trouble willingly. Who is responsible for their choices? They appear out of control, with neither party leaders nor the party head able to restrain

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.

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

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.

Jagan Mohan Reddy against accusations made by his sister, Y.S. Sharmila. Bhumana asserted that Jagan has already allocated his rightful share of family assets to Sharmila and accused her of acting in a manner that supports TDP leader and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. Bhumana's comments were a direct response to Sharmila&rsq
