    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...

    The British quit India long ago but left behind a legacy in the form of English. Despite the heavy regional influence on the language, English continues to connect people from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Gujarat to Tripura.

    “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...

    Let me begin with apologising to Kiran Bedi. We the corrupt people of Andhra Pradesh have elected 17 MLAs and one MP belonging to two parties that you perhaps see as “corrupt”. A majority of them to the YSR Congress, whose leader Jaganmohan Reddy is in judicial custody in a...
