    The gloves are off. And the Congress gameplan is now clear. Blame it on YSR. And his son. If the resignation letter of Excise minister Mopidevi Venkataramana is anything to go by, this is the strategy worked out by the Congress leadership in Delhi. Allow CBI to net half a...

    It is 10:30 am. Jagan is setting out on his election campaign trail in Macherla in Guntur district. It is hot as hell, the mercury hovering around 43 degrees. But that’s not the worry for YSR Congress party leaders and workers. Occupying their mindspace is the thought that in exactly...

    The move by Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to accuse the Congress-Telugu Desam of conspiring to arrest him and then foment trouble in Andhra Pradesh and use that as a pretext to postpone the byelections scheduled for June 12, is clever political strategy. What he has done is to create a...

    So, now it is a Congress-TDP plot, is it? The claim by Jaganmohan Reddy, leader of the YSR Congress (read Jagan’s post here), that the freezing of the accounts of three of his companies that the CBI’s action is mendacious, and I am being generous about this. I would have...
