    By the time polling ended at 5 pm today, it was interesting to see how the Congress and the Telugu Desam were speaking in one language. To explain why the majority of the seats look set to go into Jaganmohan Reddy’s pocket. While senior Congress MLA Anam Vivekananda Reddy described...

    It wasn’t just another Monday in Paris. Not with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic resuming their battle for supremacy and a chunky pie of tennis history. The Serbian evoked visions of a titanic battle, with his rousing fightback in the third set on Sunday. But much to the disappointment of...

    Andhra Pradesh’s top cop Dinesh Reddy is candid enough to admit that the magnitude of the unaccounted for money seized during the campaign period in these byelections has shocked him. While the Andhra Pradesh police confiscated some 30 crores worth of cash and jewellery, the Election Commission through its officers...

    The issue with tournaments just before the Olympics is that either top players skip them or play very carefully to avoid any injury. Pretty much the case at the Thailand Open, where none of the four top Chinese players took the field, making Saina Nehwal the top seeded player at...

    Anyone feeling depressed that the rupee is going down should see the bundles of cash seized by the authorities during the current round of byelections in Andhra Pradesh. A total of 54 crore rupees (in cash and jewellery) – all unaccounted for – has been confiscated. Compare this with 2009...

    Democracy, in India, is more of an illusion, a hologram of our minds. More than being a mere illusion, it is a cover for crime, a safe alias. Like Bin Laden walking unscathed because he’s wearing a Mahatma Gandhi tee shirt. Right from colleges; where they think they can decide...

    This news did not feature on any TV news channel, certainly not in Delhi. Television reporters did not ask aam janta to react to this new Rajya Sabha MP. And no, it did not trend on Twitter either. Obviously, I am not talking of Sachin Tendulkar, whose oath-taking today was...

    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...

    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...
