    The developments concerning the CBI Joint Director V V Lakshminarayana and the leakage of his Call Data Records (CDR) are most unfortunate. As an officer, he has immense credibility in neutral circles and is seen as a person who is actively pursuing the case. This episode has cast shadows and...

    Just what’s wrong with Chandrababu Naidu? That’s the question everyone is asking after his `maha dharna’ in Vijayawada on Monday. Naidu was demanding the construction of a flyover near the Kanakadurga temple in the city to reduce traffic congestion. A former CM of Andhra Pradesh agitating for a flyover, begs...

    Yet another wicket has fallen in Karnataka. This time, Law and Urban Development minister Suresh Kumar. And the charges, pretty familiar.

    Assuming that Jagan becomes the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh with a new capital, after the state of Telangana is formed, how would his new cabinet, the new state and new capital be? I believe his new capital would be somewhere close to Pulivendula and Idupulapaya. A new airport would...

    Telangana activists have time and again maintained that there is nothing called as a “United AP Movement” (Samaikyandhra Movement). The so called ‘movement’ that started on December 10th 2009 can at best be called an “Anti-Telangana Movement” propelled by Seemandhra Plutocrats. This stand has been vindicated by the results of...

    I am appalled by reports and analyses lauding Sonia Gandhi’s ability to checkmate Mamata Banerjee on the Presidential election.

    “It is all Chandrababu Naidu’s fault,” a senior Telugu Desam leader told me after the results of the byelections in Andhra Pradesh had delivered a duck for the party. When I asked him to explain, he rewinded to December last year. “All this is the result of the no-confidence motion...
