    Andhra Pradesh’s top cop Dinesh Reddy is candid enough to admit that the magnitude of the unaccounted for money seized during the campaign period in these byelections has shocked him. While the Andhra Pradesh police confiscated some 30 crores worth of cash and jewellery, the Election Commission through its officers...

    The last time I met Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was the day before he was arrested by the CBI. I remember asking him if anyone from the Congress in Delhi was in touch with him. He replied in the negative. My source had however told me some functionaries in the...

    Raj Thackeray is a reformed man. He is not taking part in the Bharat Bandh today. “Holding a bandh has become an old weapon. It is better if some thought is put into finding solutions,” he said. This is good news. For Raj’s absence would mean hopefully lesser number of...

    The tap of news hasn’t stopped leaking from sources at the CBI and Dilkusha Guest House. The how and why the CBI decided to arrest Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Sunday evening after he reportedly evaded questions for three days, demonstrated a headstrong attitude and even misbehaved with CBI officials....

  5. CBI – Blackmailing wing of the ruling party?

    The arrest of YS Jagan raises more questions than it answers. It yet again reiterates how the investigating agency and its personnel can be visibly partisan. The march of event inspires little confidence. The methodology shows the Central investigating agency in poor light. So often has it happened that it...

    The last four hours or so have been like a suspense thriller ever since news filtered out that Jaganmohan Reddy will be arrested today. It is no surprise that he eventually has been arrested given the fact that he is accused number 1 in the disproportionate assets case, particularly when...

    “I am going in for prayers, I will be with you in ten minutes,” says Jagan, when we meet at the appointed hour this morning. In another two hours, he would be face to face with the interrogators from the CBI for the second day running. The Christian influence is...

    The gloves are off. And the Congress gameplan is now clear. Blame it on YSR. And his son. If the resignation letter of Excise minister Mopidevi Venkataramana is anything to go by, this is the strategy worked out by the Congress leadership in Delhi. Allow CBI to net half a...

    It is 10:30 am. Jagan is setting out on his election campaign trail in Macherla in Guntur district. It is hot as hell, the mercury hovering around 43 degrees. But that’s not the worry for YSR Congress party leaders and workers. Occupying their mindspace is the thought that in exactly...

    Dear Dr Manmohan Singh, Pranaam. No, I am not Shahrukh Khan, lest you associate this line only with the Wankhede boy. Yesterday evening, the moment I heard the news of the hike in price of petrol, I rushed to the nearest petrol bunk. Typical aam aadmi reaction, I hear u...
