Firebrand leader Raghu Rama Krishna Raju has established himself as a prominent figure in Andhra Pradesh politics by boldly opposing Jagan Mohan Reddy and leveraging his position to effect change.

With the TDP+ coalition returning to power, there was a renewed expectation for Amaravati to regain its status as the stat

On July 18th, Rajampeta MP Mithun Reddy's visit to Punganur to support former Chittor MP Redappa and party cadres turned contentious, resulting in a major law and order issue.

A key point of discussion has been the Janwada farmhouse owned by Kalvakuntla Taraka Ramarao (KTR).
