Over the past five years, Andhra Pradesh has faced significant political turbulence, particularly concerning the state's capital. The YCP administration's sidelining of Amaravati and its controversial three capitals proposal led to widespread discontent, culminating in a dramatic reduction in YCP's legislative presence from 151 MLAs in 2019 to just 11 in 2024. With the TDP+ coalition returning to power, there was a renewed expectation for Amaravati to regain its status as the stat

Former Chief Minister and YCP leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is currently grappling with the aftermath of his party's significant defeat in the 2024 Assembly elections. The loss has highlighted the urgent need for a professional political strategist to help revive the party's fortunes. The once-strong YCP, which secured 151 seats in 2019, saw a dramatic fall to just 11 seats in the recent polls, underscoring the impact of the absence of strategic guidance. In 2019, political

The term “Egg puffs” has become a hot topic in Andhra Pradesh following revelations that the previous YCP government spent over Rs 3.5 crore on them for the Chief Minister’s Office. This news sparked widespread criticism of the YCP administration, with many questioning the exorbitant expenditure on such a seemingly trivial item. The controversy intensified as people criticized the government’s financial decisions and priorities. In an unexpected twist, actor

Over the past five years, Amaravati's property market suffered significantly due to the YCP government's neglect of the capital region. Commercial and residential establishments saw a dramatic decline in value and market demand. However, with the return of the TDP+ government, signs of recovery are becoming apparent. Recent reports indicate a noticeable increase in demand for commercial spaces, as tech giants and other corporations begin to show interest in investing in Amaravati once

In the 2019 Andhra Pradesh elections, Prashant Kishor and his team from IPAC played a pivotal role in securing a major victory for Jagan Mohan Reddy’s Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP). However, the 2024 elections saw a drastic reversal of fortunes for Reddy, with IPAC's involvement leading to a stunningly poor performance. From being the Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy was reduced to a mere MLA, with YCP securing only 11 seats compared to the anticipated 151. Despit

The recent release of Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy from Nellore Central jail has stirred controversy, primarily due to a social media blunder by the YCP. Pinnelli, who lost his Macherla seat this election, was previously jailed for destroying EVMs and assaulting TDP agents. Following the release, YCP's Twitter handle posted a video with the caption: “Former MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy has came out of detention in illegal cases.” This caption, which described Pinnell

The Andhra Pradesh police department has intensified its scrutiny of YCP leaders accused in various criminal cases, with Devineni Avinash recently becoming the latest target. Avinash, who has been active in the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YCP) since 2019 and faced a significant defeat in the 2024 elections, is one of the accused in the attack on the TDP office in Vijayawada. His involvement in this case has drawn substantial a

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, leader of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP), is set to give a significant boost to his wife YS Bharati's political career. With his mother YS Vijayamma and sister YS Sharmila distancing themselves from the party due to property disputes, Jagan is considering making Bharati a prominent figure in the YCP. This move aims to fill the leadership void and strengthen the party's appeal, particularly among women voters. In previous election cycles, Vi

In Andhra Pradesh, a significant shift has occurred in the state's police department following the transition from YCP to TDP government. Over 16 IPS officers, who were previously known for their allegiance to the YCP, have been stripped of their posts and are now waiting for new assignments. This move, seen as a demotion, underscores the changing dynamics of political loyalty within the state’s law enforcement agencies. Key officers affected by this reshuffle include PSR

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has responded to a surge of complaints regarding alleged fraudulent activities linked to the previous YCP government’s housing scheme. Many grievances raised during the Praja Darbar program highlight accusations that public representatives under the YCP administration engaged in illicit land grabs under the guise of housing development. This has prompted CM Naidu to direct the vigilance department to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the transactions

In a bizarre development within Andhra Pradesh politics, the controversy surrounding YCP MLC Duvvada Srinivas and Divvela Madhuri has intensified, with a new and unexpected element introduced into the saga. The relationship between Duvvada Srinivas and Divvela Madhuri, who are living together despite being married to others, has sparked protests from Duvvada's wife and daughter. The situation has captured widespread media attention and public interest. Adding a unique twist to t

The newly appointed Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Anitha Vangalapudi, addressed a critical issue concerning the AP Police while engaging with senior police officials. During her interaction, she issued a stern warning to those who had previously supported the YCP during their tenure. Anitha highlighted that some police officers had acted under YCP's directives and engaged in various anti-social activities in the previous administration. She emphasized the severity of these ac

The ruling party YSR Congress is overwhelmingly confident about the electoral mandate in Andhra Pradesh, to the extent that Jagan confidently announced he would take charge as the CM for the second time from Vizag. YV Subba Reddy has taken another step forward and said Jagan will take charge as the CM at 9:35 AM on 9th June. These overtly confident comments from the ruling party were ridiculed by the Telugu Desam outfit today as Raghu Rama Krishna Raju and Ganta Srinivas briefed the

There are many ground-level reports that the betting action that is going on in relation to the Andhra Pradesh election results is on par with IPL betting action. We are hearing new cases of interesting brackets that bettors are identifying to make money out of the AP electoral trends.  In one such interesting case, there is a hot rumor going around, saying that a YCP senior leader who served as a cabinet minister has invested heavily in the TDP+ alliance's win. A

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSR Congress is an unassailable force in the Rayalaseema region. This can be understood if we look at the fact that the party won 49 out of the 52 assembly segments in the Seema region in the 2019 election. YCP outrightly dominated TDP here.  But come 2024, the equation has changed almost completely. On one side, there is the anti-incumbency factor and on the other, there is the Sharmila factor. Sharmila, who was extremely determined to eat into the v

A war-like situation was seen in certain assembly segments in Andhra Pradesh yesterday as the YCP and TDP factions came face to face in electoral clashes. While the situation was particularly detrimental in the Palnadu area(Narsaraopeta), a similar scene was seen in other parts of AP as well. According to the latest reports, as many as 3 YCP MLAs have been booked in election crime cases and this includes Annabathuni Siva Kumar who slapped a commoner after being questioned about cutt

There is no debating the fact that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has made Pulivendula his bastion over the years. YSRCP is an unassailable force in all of Kadapa district and more so in the Pulivendula constituency.  However, things might not be as straightforward for YS Jagan in his home turf of Pulivendula in the context of the coming elections in Andhra Pradesh.  As it appears, YS Sharmila and YS Sunitha will be campaigning against Jagan on Congress's behalf in the
