The latest buzzword doing rounds in the Telangana politics these days is 'VELKAM,' which sounds like 'welcome.'

Former MP and former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin is absolutely not interested in being a star campaigner for the Telangana Congress party and contesting the next general election from Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency.

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu went on a three-nation tour from October 17 and he is expected to return on October 26. But going by his itinerary, there is no major purpose for his tour.

There was a press communique from YSR Congress party late on Friday evening stating that senior party leader and Rajya Sabha member V Vijay Sai Reddy had been appointed as the national general secretary of the party.

For quite some time, there has not been much sound from loud-mouth YSR Congress leaders like Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, R K Roja, Vasireddy Padma and for that matter Ambati Rambabu.

With Telangana Telugu Desam Party working president and Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy remaining tight-lipped over the allegations that he is going to join the Congress party sooner or later, loyalists of party president N Chandrababu Naidu have started mounting an attack him so as to hound him out of the party.

It will take another three days to get a clarity on whether YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy will get exemption from appearing before the CBI special court every Friday so that he can take out the padayatra without any hassles.
Perhaps nobody can beat Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu in gaining the political mileage by making tall claims about his commitment to the welfare of the people and development of the state.

The meeting of the TTDP politburo held at NTR Trust Bhavan in Hyderabad on Friday turned out to be a fiasco with party working president A Revanth Reddy remaining silent on the allegations levelled by his party colleagues that he was going to join the Congress party.

Though there had been speculations about YSR Congress party MP from Kurnool Butta Renuka joining the Telugu Desam Party, she had been denying it outright and had pledged her loyalty to YSRC many times.

It looks like YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is distancing himself from once-his-close confidants who had played a crucial role in the party in its initial days.

The 'revolt' by Telangana Telugu Desam Party president A Revanth Reddy against the party leadership for surrendering to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi in Telangna has given the much-needed fodder for the hungry media, which has been struggling to find some spicy stuff in the recent past.

With the Centre gearing up to hold simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and the state assemblies all over the country by 2018 end, the election season has almost begun. All the political parties are getting ready for the mega battle.

The Reddy community in Telangana is understood to have finally found a fighter in the form of Telangana TDP working president and Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy, who came out openly against a section of the Seemandhra TDP leaders for surrendering to TRS president and chief minister KCR.

If the reports coming from New Delhi are to be believed, TDP MP from Narsaraopet parliamentary constituency Rayapati Sambasiva Rao has exposed the massive corruption involved in the construction of Polavaram project, which was the prime reason for the delay in construction of the project.
