Following a call from YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, party workers organized rallies, protests, and public meetings at several locations. Leaders accused the government of failing to deliver key welfare commitments made during the elections.

In response, TDP leaders and supporters held counter rallies in many areas. They defended the government’s performance and criticized the opposition for what they described as politically motivated protests.

The parallel demonstrations created a charged political atmosphere across the state. Police monitored the events to maintain law and order and prevent clashes between rival groups.

With both parties stepping up their public outreach, the political contest in Andhra Pradesh is expected to intensify in the coming weeks.

Urban Development and Road Construction Minister Nitin Nabin was appointed as the BJP’s National Working President. The decision created excitement within the Bihar BJP. Party leaders said the move reflects the growing influence of Bihar in national politics.

Meanwhile, the mention of the Red Book has now created political ripples. Minister Vasamsetti Subhash said former YSRCP minister Kodali Nani reacts nervously whenever the topic arises. While speaking to the media in Amaravati, Subhash strongly criticised Kodali Nani. He recalled that Nani had made offensive remarks against TDP leaders earlier to please former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.

However, Subhash alleged that the same leader now fears accountability. He dismissed YSRCP’s signature campaign against government decisions on medical colleges as a political drama. Instead, he advised the party to analyse why it secured only 11 seats in the 2024 elections.

Furthermore, Subhash accused the previous government of turning Visakhapatnam into a drug hub. In contrast, he stated that the present coalition government continues to focus on Visakhapatnam’s development. He added that Lokesh remains committed to long-term growth and governance reforms.

Recently, the Congress finalised district president posts ahead of the panchayat polls. Moreover, AICC observers toured several districts and gathered feedback from local leaders to shape the next phase of appointments. After the Jubilee Hills bypoll, the party filled almost all DCC chief positions, except in Ranga Reddy and Sangareddy. Consequently, the focus has now shifted to nominated posts, mainly for leaders who narrowly missed election tickets.

Senior leaders are intensely tracking the developments because the working president posts hold significant organisational value. Additionally, discussions within the party hint at appointing four or five working presidents to ensure wider social representation. As a result, aspirants from multiple communities have started lobbying aggressively.

In the coming days, Gandhi Bhavan is expected to witness high activity. Furthermore, panchayat poll results may influence the final picks, since the leadership plans to prioritise leaders who deliver strong performances in their constituencies.

During a recent event in the GHMC area, Kavitha criticised Kukatpally MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao. She alleged that he focused more on land issues than on public welfare. Krishna Rao reacted strongly and accused Kavitha of several irregularities. He said he had seen many “like her” and warned that exposing her record would be damaging. He questioned her comments on corruption and challenged her to stop making personal remarks.

Kavitha’s statements have created intense friction inside the BRS. Leaders claim she is highlighting corruption that happened during the party’s decade-long rule. Her comments are giving political ammunition to opponents. Krishna Rao’s sharp counter has opened a new round of debate on the BRS–Kavitha rivalry.

Many leaders believe Kavitha’s aggressive stand may harm her more than help. Senior leaders have not joined her Jagruthi campaign. Questions remain about her political future, especially with ongoing allegations like the liquor case.

The BRS leadership is already facing multiple challenges. The party lost power in 2023 and also suffered defeats in recent MLC and Assembly byelections. Internal differences reportedly resurfaced after Kavitha distanced herself from party affairs. With the Governor’s approval, speculation has risen about a possible arrest of KTR, adding pressure on party chief K. Chandrashekar Rao at a crucial political moment.

Meanwhile, the BJP has repeatedly accused the Congress government of delaying legal action against KTR. The party claims irregularities in the Formula E race project were ignored. The Congress government earlier stated that the probe slowed because the Governor had not granted permission. With that hurdle now cleared, political circles are keenly observing the next steps.

The BRS has dismissed the allegations, calling the case politically motivated. KTR has openly challenged the government to arrest him if evidence exists. With momentum from the Jubilee Hills byelection victory, the ruling Congress may attempt to counter both BRS and BJP using this development. The political outcomes of the Formula E case will become clearer in the coming days.
