The hot topic in Andhra politics these days is the possible alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the YSR Congress party in the 2019 elections.

Senior Tamil Nadu film star Kamal Haasan, who is going to launch his new political party later in the night at Madurai, started off on a wrong note by declaring that Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is his hero.

Film star Kamal Haasan today cancelled his proposed visit to an elementary school in Rameshwaram where former president APJ Abdul Kalam studied after education authorities denied him permission.

Ever since Union finance minister Arun Jaitely presented the central budget for 2018-19 in Parliament on February 1, every political leader in Andhra Pradesh, including the cabinet ministers in Chandrababu Naidu government reacted at some point or the other, criticising the Centre for doing injustice to the state.

In yet another bold decision, YSR Congress party declared that it would move the no-confidence motion against the NDA government on March 21 demanding Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh, without waiting for the support of any other party.

A rumour has been doing rounds in political and media circles for the last few hours that senior actor and Telugu Desam Party MLA from Hindupur Nandamuri Balakrishna is planning to convert his Jubilee Hills residence in Hyderabad into a huge mall.

He is one of the most popular actors in Tollywood right now. The young actor’s career is zooming ahead and his now considered as most bankable star.

Keerthy Suresh who recently tasted a huge flop with Agnyathavasi is currently busy with Mahanati and a couple of other Tamil films.

Jeweller on the run Nirav Modi does have his fans, we ought to tell you. They may not be people like us, but they surely are people like him. By which we mean the glorious one per cent of this country who seem to be above the law, thanks to their political pals.

Former chief minister of combined Andhra Pradesh late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy had a strong sentiment for Chevella town in Ranga Reddy district.

As the elections to the state assembly are fast approaching, the ruling Telugu Desam Party and the opposition YSR Congress party have started playing the mind game to gain psychological edge over each other.

Even as the Telugu Desam Party is fretting and fuming against the Centre over injustice done to the state, the NDA government has started throwing the ball into the court of chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

YSR Congress party on Tuesday took exception to actor and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan for challenging its president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, rather than Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, on moving no-confidence motion against the NDA government on the injustice meted out to AP by the Centre.

Within 24 hours of announcing that he would conduct an all-party meeting on the raw deal meted out to Andhra Pradesh in the Central budget and lack of implementation of promises made in AP Reorganisation Act, Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu changed his tune.
