MS Shanker The arrival of the Indian Premier League season is supposed to be a celebration of cricket—packed stadiums, electrifying contests, and fans living every ball.

Revanth Reddy and the Indian National Congress stormed into power, it wasn’t just an electoral victory—it was a carefully scripted promise of transformation.
