The elections to Andhra Pradesh state assembly are just a few months away and major political parties – Telugu Desam Party headed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu and the YSR Congress party headed by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy have started collecting the feedback from the ground level as to what their winning chances are.
Right from the beginning, it was YSR Congress party which has been solidly supporting the agitation taken up by former minister and Kapu strongman Mudragada Padmnabham for inclusion of Kapus in the Backward Classes list and achieving reservations for them in education and employment.
Actor-turned-Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan has been trying to woo not only all Kapus and BCs during his ongoing Praja Porata Yatra in West Godavari district, but also Christian minorities who are in big numbers in the district.
What the Congress Party could not do all these years, TRS managed to achieve by kicking the TDP out of Telangana completely.
Film comedian-turned-Telugu Desam Party MP from Chittoor Dr N Sivaprasad's disgusting theatrics in front of august Parliament house in the name of demanding special category status to AP and other issues, have not only incurred massive criticism not only from his fellow parliamentarians and people on the social media, but also from the “other sex.”
In further embarrassment to Telangana Rasthra Samithi Rajya Sabha MP D Srinivas, the Nizamabad police on Sunday arrested his elder son Dharmapuri Sanjay in connection with alleged sexual harassment of 11 girl students of a nursing college owned by him.
Controversial Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Goshamahal constituency T Raja Singh on Sunday announced that he had resigned from his assembly membership.
The Telangana Rashtra Samith government headed by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao might have utter contempt for Congress party and its president Rahul Gandhi, for the simple reason that the party is its main rival in the TRS in the next elections in Telangana.
One of the primary reasons for the formation of Telangana was the unity of the people and one of the reasons why Andhra politicians couldn’t prevent bifurcation was casteism.
The latest speculation in political circles is that the political scenario in Andhra Pradesh came up for discussion during Amit Shah’s meeting with Ramoji Rao in Hyderabad recently.
With people’s resentment increasing over denial of SCS to AP, Chandrababu Naidu was forced to quit the NDA.
It looks like Bharatiya Janata Party national official spokesman and Rajya Sabha member G V L Narasimha Rao does not want to let the Telugu Desam Party leaders have comfortable sleep.
The burning of train at Tuni during the agitation for Kapu reservations at Tuni in East Godavari district on January 31, 2016 was the handiwork of none other than Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
In October, 20177, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy stunned one and all when he went and met Ramoji Rao at the latter’s residence.
Officials from the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) carried out massive raids on the offices of TDP MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao.
