Telugu Desam Party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday took a sensational decision not to enter the state assembly again for the rest of the present term.
YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is definitely on cloud nine for his party recording a resounding victory in all the municipal elections, particularly in Kuppam, hitherto a bastion of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu, with a huge majority.
For the last few days, there has been a talk in the Telugu film industry circles that Andhra Pradesh minister for information and public relations Perni Venkatramaiah alias Nani has made an offer to the industry people.
Out of the election results from the 328 municipal wards all that Janasena could bag were only five seats.
The Andhra Pradesh government is understood to have decided borrow Rs 1500 crore from the State Bank of India to partially clear the loans obtained from Rural Electrification Corporation so as to avoid being declared as defaulter by the Central government organisation.
The winter session of the Andhra Pradesh state legislature, which began on Thursday, will adopt a bill on the much-publicised online ticketing system in cinema theatres, to give it a statutory status.
YSR Congress party general secretary Devireddy Shiv Shankar Reddy, a close associate of Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday in connection with the murder of former minister Y S Vivekananda Reddy, claims that he was no way concerned with the murder.
Now that the YSR Congress party conquered Kuppam by decimating the Telugu Desam Party in all the local elections, right from gram panchayats to municipality, its next target is obviously the next assembly elections.
The arrest of Devireddy Shiv Shankar Reddy alias Dondlavagu Shankar Reddy from Pulivendula in Kadapa district, considered to be a close aide of YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, provided an interesting twist to the case of the murder of Jagan’s uncle and former MP Y S Vivekananda Reddy in March 2019.
As expected, the ruling YSR Congress party has captured the Kuppam municipality in Chittoor district, defeating the Telugu Desam Party with a huge majority.
The ruling YSR Congress party has several stalwarts in Prakasam district, including ministers Balineni Srinivasa Reddy and Audimulapu Suresh, TTD chairman Y V Subba Reddy, apart from defectors from TDP like Karanam Balarama Krishna Murthy and Siddha Raghava Rao.
Andhra Pradesh Governor Biswabhushan Harichandan was on Wednesday rushed to Hyderabad after reporting symptoms of Covid-19 and admitted to Asian Institute of Gastroenterology for treatment.
The reports that former Bharatiya Janata Party national president and Union home minister Amit Shah has pulled up the party leaders from Andhra Pradesh for not extending support to the agitating farmers of Amaravati evoked a lot of surprise in the political observers of the state.
In a big achievement to the Telangana government, Pochampally village in Yadadri Bhongir district has been selected as one of the Best Tourism Villages by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).
It appears the Andhra Pradesh high court is sympathetic towards the farmers of Amaravati, who have been agitating for retention of the capital city at Amaravati, instead of dividing it into three capitals.
