Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced a Rs 20 lakh crore economic package for what he called Mission Self-Reliant India to tide over the coronavirus crisis.

It appears PM Narendra Modi was all praise for YSRCP president and Andhra Pradesh CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for presenting the Covid-19 situation in his state in right perspective and making meaningful demands during the Monday’s video conference.

When ordinary people die of diseases and hunger, it hardly catches the attention of the media. But when a top politician or a VIP even sneezes, it becomes a big news.

If Tuesday's numbers are any indication, Andhra Pradesh appears to be gaining control in its efforts to contain COVID-19 in the state.

YSR Congress party general secretary and parliamentary party leader V Vijay Sai Reddy, who has been avoiding coming to Visakhapatnam ever since the poisonous gas leakage from LG Polymers Ltd took place claiming the lives of 12 persons on May 7, is back in action.

Four Andhra Pradesh Ministers and two MPs of the ruling YSR Congress Party spent Monday night in villages affected by gas leak from LG Polymers India factory to instill confidence among the villagers who returned to their homes four days after the disaster.

It is known that the Pawan Kalyan fans have trended the 8 Years of Gabbar Singh news on twitter with more than 10 million tweets.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday strongly opposed the Narendra Modi government’s decision to restore passenger train services in the country, while his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy strongly supported the move and wanted removal of all restrictions on inter-state transport.

If the speculations doing rounds in the media circles are to be believed, YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to shift his office from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam in the last week of May.

Telangana government’s move to confine people belonging to Andhra Pradesh, who are returning from foreign countries, in quarantine centres in Hyderabad, has not been taken kindly by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government in the neighbouring state.

A study is on over the impact of the gas leak from LG Polymers on the overall environment in the surrounding villages while authorities have sent samples from water bodies including a major water reservoir for analysis amid public apprehension that they were contaminated by chemical toxins.

Andhra Pradesh's see-saw battle with COVID-19 saw the weekend close with 50 new cases on Sunday.

The media baron who shouldered the Amaravathi capital issue in a big way has finally concluded today in his editorial that it is a gone case.

Following a serious reprimand from the state high court on lesser number of tests for corona virus in Telangana, the state government seems to have gone on a high alert.
