    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...

    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...

    If Kiran Kumar Reddy claims he is inspired by Shahrukh Khan in `Baazigar’, I would be inclined to believe him. Because `kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai‘.

    The chief of the Special Investigation Team probing the liquor scam, K Srinivas Reddy, is at sea. Literally because he is now IG of the Coastal Security Wing. For all practical purposes, worse than a loopline posting, where the 1994 batch IPS officer can spend all day sitting by the...
