    Sometime in May, when this important ally of the Congress in the UPA was called by Sonia Gandhi for discussions on the Presidential election, he decided to be candid. “Ma’m, we will support whoever you decide to nominate for the President. But I have a request to make. Please change...

    By T S Sudhir First a disclaimer. I like Kapil Sibal. I think he is the best minister in Manmohan Singh’s cabinet. I think he is a visionary. He was always my favourite man in black robes. I also admire Sonia Gandhi. Also Rahul. Also Priyanka’s children. Even Robert Vadra....

     By T S Sudhir If Mayawati is to be believed, Sonia Gandhi may soon say “Aap baith jayiye” to Meira Kumar, while ushering her to the Prime Minister’s chair. This, the UP chief minister predicts, will be the Congress’s big ticket move ahead of the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh...

    By T S Sudhir So Dr Manmohan Singh has shared never-told-before secrets. Six hours of sleep in a 24-hour cycle. No weekly off. No vacation either. Makes one wonder if all work and no play has made Jack an MMS. Another politician who used to boast about working for 18...

    It is not so often that I feel shocked and close to tears during my reporting assignments. But on Thursday at the Nampally courts in Hyderabad when I saw Papalal burst out in anger and then break down, a defeated man, I felt it is not so easy to stand...

    By M S Hussain   The people of the great state of Andhra Pradesh in the Indian Union, are puzzled. They are wondering whether the government of Andhra Pradesh, led by Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, is located in Hyderabad, the capital city, or has it shifted to New Delhi,...

    The DMK has withdrawn its cabinet ministers from the UPA government. It will also now give only issue-based support to the government which means technically, without the DMK’s 18 MPs, Manmohan Singh’s government is in a minority. Though it must be said there will be constitutional trouble only if the...

    By Prof K Nageshwar As `Megastar’ Chiranjeevi files political insolvency petition, Praja Rajyam’s ‘merger and acquisition’ by Congress is complete.

    By T S Sudhir   If Justice Srikrishna is Lord Krishna and P Chidambaram is Arjuna on the battleground of Andhra Pradesh, you can be reasonably sure the Union Home minister will follow the two-volume Bhagvad Gita of 2010 to the last full stop. Which means his eyes will be...

    (Reprinted with permission from www.umasudhir.wordpress.com) By T S Sudhir Y S Jaganmohan Reddy’s mobile ringer tone is the Sakshi TV title music. That certainly won’t be music to those calling him from the Congress High command. Especially now that Jagan, through his channel, has demonstrated that he is quite out...
