The controversy over the alleged conduct of tantric rituals in the sanctum sanctorum of Kanaka Durga temple in Vijayawada assuming political overtones, Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has quickly entered the scene and ordered a comprehensive probe into the allegations.

Politics is a really amusing and intriguing field. Nothing is predictable here.

The sudden meeting between power star and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan with Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao at Pragathi Bhavan on Monday night has created a lot of buzz in the political and media circles.

Nothing gives a bigger high than power. That's why even film stars get into politics. With power comes respect and position. Even the best bow to power. In the New Year, Pawan Kalyan had a taste of this.
Telangana CM KCR is not on the best of terms with the Osmania University students is a well -known fact.

The 24X7 free power supply scheme for agriculture sector, launched by Telangana government, might have got the wide coverage in the media as the major decision, a revolutionary step by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and a New Year gift for farmers.

The tremendous response YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has been getting for his “Praja Sankalpam Padayatra” in Chittoor district seems to have caused jitters in the Telugu Desam Party headed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Andhra Pradesh tourism minister Akhila Priya might have been the blue-eyed girl of chief minister and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, but back in her home constituency Allagadda, she is still struggling to overcome the dissidence.

Hitherto, we have witnessed the Telugu Desam Party leaders in Andhra and Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders in Telangana displaying their power by attacking the employees of toll plazas on national highways in the last couple of years.

The New Year calender for 2018 issued by Sakshi media house along with the newspapers to all its subscribers on Monday was a big disappointment for the YSR Congress party leaders and cadre, besides fans of party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

It finally happened. After decades of speculation, denials and flip-flops, Rajinikanth finally announced his political entry.
