MP Rabindranath Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy seems to have discovered that running a government is a tad trickier than running a campaign. Just a year and a half after storming to power with grand promises and “guarantees,” the man now finds himself doing the political equivalent of backpedalling on a treadmill—blaming the previous…
P. Nagarjuna Rao UK’s Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, who knew a thing or two about real war, once said: ‘Any man who goes to battle without fear is a fool.’ He didn’t have Rahul Gandhi in mind, of course. But it is a quote that fits the Wayanad warrior like a bespoke Italian kurta. The…
Just when you thought the Kalvakuntla family had exhausted its stock of political drama, in comes K. Kavitha with her latest one-woman show: “Jagruti is as powerful as BRS.” If this were a comedy special, it would be sold out in seconds. But alas, it’s just another tired episode in the long-running soap opera titled…
MP Rabindranath In the aftermath of Pakistan-sponsored terrorists murdering 26 innocent tourists in Pahalgam, India responded with unprecedented force. The military retaliation was swift, decisive, and unequivocal—a signal to Islamabad that the era of strategic restraint is over. Yet, what followed was equally significant: a strategic diplomatic offensive by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that not…
M P Rabindranath How much more proof does India need to declare the Trinamool Congress (TMC) a national security threat? In a move meant to build diplomatic consensus and global awareness against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, the Modi government formed seven multi-party parliamentary delegations. Their mandate? To present before the world the undeniable evidence of India’s retaliatory…
MS Shanker When the Opposition, particularly the Congress party, rages against the Adani Group, it’s not because it fears corruption—it fears competition. For decades, India’s industrial landscape was shaped to benefit a few favoured families and foreign lobbies, while real self-reliance remained a slogan, not strategy. The rise of a first-generation entrepreneur like Gautam Adani—who…
MP Rabindranath As India’s security forces continue to display exemplary resolve against cross-border terrorism, the Congress party, once the pillar of Indian politics, finds itself increasingly sidelined—not only by the electorate but by its confused messaging. The recent precision strikes by Indian forces on 21 terror camps, reportedly eliminating nine targets without even crossing the…
MS Shanker A former high-ranking bureaucrat recently asked me to write an article on what language could unite India—given, as he put it, the “widespread regional opposition” to Hindi. Frankly, I was puzzled. Opposition from whom, exactly? Beyond the entrenched, ideologically rigid Dravidian parties of Tamil Nadu, who else is actively resisting Hindi as a…
C. Pradeep Kumar At a time when the nation is mourning the brutal killing of 28 innocent pilgrims in Kashmir, gunned down in cold blood after being asked about their religion, it is nothing short of disgraceful to witness sections of the political opposition mocking our defence forces and the democratically elected government. The image…
MS Shanker A chilling video confession by a 77-year-old legislator from Jammu & Kashmir—believed to have been recorded around the time of the recent Assembly polls—has reignited long-standing concerns about political complicity in the 1990 genocide and forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. The former militant-turned-MLA, seen in the video as a candidate, makes explosive claims…
