Mixed Response for Salaar Trailer:- Salaar, set to be released in December, is highly anticipated among the upcoming films. The recently unveiled trailer has garnered mixed reactions. However, it did not meet the expectations due to its heavy emphasis on drama rather than action.

Congress hits on BRS saying diverting Rythu Bandhu Funds:- The day after the conclusion of the Telangana Assembly elections, A Revanth Reddy, TPCC president, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, CLP leader, and Madhu Yaskhi Goud, TPCC campaign committee chairman, accused the BRS government of "misusing" funds, including those designated for Rythu Bandhu, in order to obtain kickbacks from contractors. They also claimed that the government was engaging in "illegal" registration of assigned lands in the names of BRS leaders' proxies. During an informal discussion with journalists, Revanth expressed his belief that the "outgoing" BRS government was diverting funds to contractors for various projects, as they had realized their impending defeat in the elections. He further alleged that the state government was attempting to register the assigned lands. Revanth stated that the Congress party would lodge a complaint with the Election Commission of India, requesting surveillance of all transactions, both financial and land-related. Later in the day, during a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, Vikramarka addressed the issue, highlighting that the caretaker BRS government was abusing its power by registering hundreds of acres of valuable assigned lands surrounding Hyderabad.

Will keep Jagan away from AP Politics: Pawan Kalyan December 02, 2023 12:31

Will keep Jagan away from AP Politics: Pawan Kalyan:- Pawan Kalyan, the Chief of Janasena party, has once again made headlines with his latest speech. In his address, he pledged to keep YS Jagan, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, away from politics for at least ten years after the 2024 elections. Pawan Kalyan stated, "I will ensure that Jagan stays away from politics for a decade. Regardless of whether he transforms into a better person or not, as long as he carries negativity within him, I am firmly committed to keeping him out of the political sphere for ten years." విషపూరితమయిన జగన్ లాంటి వ్యక్తి రాజకీయాలలో ఉండకూడదు. 2024 తర్వాత దశాబ్దం పాటు రాజకీయాలకు దూరంగా వుంచే బాధ్యత మనం తీసుకుందాం- జనసేన అధినేత శ్రీ @PawanKalyan గారు.#HelloAP_ByeByeYCP pic.twitter.com/rgRUBRPzc7 — JanaSena Party (@JanaSenaParty) December 2, 2023 During his speech, Pawan Kalyan also addressed the criticism he has been facing in the form of videos. He acknowledged that differences of opinion within a family are common but appealed to the people of the state to support and collaborate with Janasena and TDP (Telugu Desam Party) in order to establish a better Andhra Pradesh. He urged the people to consider this responsibility as a collective effort rather than a sign of weakness. Furthermore, Pawan Kalyan revealed that reducing Jagan's vote margin by half a percent is their daily goal during their campaign. He vowed to engage in a battle that Jagan desires and promised that if the TDP – Janasena alliance wins the elections, Andhra Pradesh will become the best-developed state. However, Pawan Kalyan's statement about keeping Jagan away from politics for a decade has faced criticism from supporters of the YCP (YSR Congress Party). They took to social media to question how Pawan Kalyan can keep Jagan away from politics when he himself was unable to secure a seat against Jagan's party candidates. The political landscape in Andhra Pradesh continues to be highly charged as parties and leaders engage in fierce competition ahead of the upcoming elections. Only time will tell how these statements and campaigns will shape the future of Andhra Pradesh politics. (Video Source: JanaSena Party)
