    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 arrest of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy merely exemplifies the rotten state of politics in Andhra Pradesh. Gloating over his arrest by the CBI or accusing the CBI of vindictive action are both uncalled for. All traditional parties in the state have been guilty of abusing power and indulging in...

    So, it has finally happened, after nine months of low-brow nautanki. The arrest of Jaganmohan Reddy, that is. The arrest was long past due; in fact it was nine months in the making. But better late than never, I am thinkng. But before we move on with this post, here’s...

    I don’t think cricketer-turned-politician Kiran Kumar Reddy would have found the time to catch the finals of the IPL last night. If nothing else, he can take heart from the fact that a KKR – Kolkata Knight Riders – had triumphed. Will KKR win the Andhra Pradesh Political League as...

    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...

    The move by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to accuse the Congress-Telugu Desam of conspiring to arrest him and then foment trouble in Andhra Pradesh and use that as a pretext to postpone the byelections scheduled for June 12, is clever political strategy. What he has done is to create a...
