TDP MP Gundu To Join TRS
Just as the party is gearing up for the intense Warangal by-election, the Telangana TDP got a huge shock with the TDP Rajya Sabha MP from Warangal Gundu Sudha Rani all set to bid goodbye to cycle and join the TRS party.
Sudharani already met KCR along with her supporters during the CM’s ongoing Delhi tour and discussed the date of her joining. As per the reports, Sudha Rani will be joining TRS on the 29th of this month. This latest move by KCR as part of his ‘Operataion Akarsh’ can be seen as a huge setback to TDP.
Already, 3 MLAs joined TRS, leaving T-TDP in doldrums. On the other hand, the party is in severe dearth of a strong leadership and cadre, following the intense war between the party’s senior leaders Errabelli and Revanth Reddy. Looks like KCR’s master-plan will make several other leaders leave TDP very soon.

Amaravati Is Devil – Reddy
Rayalaseema leader Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy has yet again made critical remarks against AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and his government. Dubbing capital city Amaravati as “Deyyam” (Devil), Byreddy alleged that Naidu’s government is engulfed with this Amaravati Deyyam.
Byreddy didn’t stop here. Shooting straight, he questioned the AP Government that how 2 Lakh acres of land is required for capital city for a state of 13 districts. He alleged that Chandrababu Naidu-led government has violated the guidelines, directions issued by the National Green Tribunal.
Reiterating October 22nd, the foundation day of AP Capital Amaravati, as the black day for the people of Rayalaseema, he alleged that Chandrababu Naidu’s cabinet tried to bribe a person who filed a PIL against AP government on the issue of Amaravati. Looks like, Byreddy is mincing no words.
Don’t Miss: Jaggu Bhai Kills It As A Cowboy
After playing a hero in numerous hit films, versatile actor Jagapathi Babu slowed down as a male lead and suddenly made a big shift as a villain and character artiste with blockbusters like Legend, Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham and Srimanthudu etc. Needless to say, Jaggu Bhai’s towering personality and acting prowess added to these films’ success.
In this stunning photoshoot, Jagapathi Babu kills it in a cowboy getup. No other actor could have pulled off this stunning aura as Jaggu Bhai did, as he looks macho and manly with the thick, rough beard and the cowboy hat and leather boots and of course, that hunter’s rifle.
At 53, most actors wear out and look off their shine. However, Jaggu Bhai still maintains the same physique and vigour. No doubt that Jagapathi Babu still has it in him to pull off such powerful looks and one can surely expect to see more of this manly actor in future films.
Thieves ransack Indian-owned jewellery store in US
Washington: A jewellery store owned by an Indian-origin man was found ransacked in Kansas state, US, a media report said.
Thieves broke into Karats Jewellers — owned by Akshay Andy Anand — in Overland Park city on Sunday night.
They used stones to smash the glass doors and took away ornaments kept in cases, fox4kc.com reported on Monday without specifying the value of the stolen articles.
“I’ve raised it like a child for 10 years, and we have put a lot of hard work into bringing this business as one of the top jewellery stores in the city,” Anand was quoted as saying.
Anand’s family has been in jewellery business for six generations, but he was the one to bring the business to the US.
“You feel cheated,” Anand said. “You feel like somebody violated you. You worked so hard, and I mean, you do it the right way, you do everything properly, and then just somebody comes in, takes it away from you.”
Police were trying to identify cars and descriptions of the suspects.
