He emphasized that he would continue to serve as the Lok Sabha member from Vijayawada until May 2024 and confidently declared his intention to secure a third consecutive victory in the upcoming elections. Even if he were to run as an independent candidate, Nani made it clear that he was determined to return to Delhi as an MP. I intend to arrange for a private plane to be chartered." Expressing his belief in the people of Vijayawada, Kesineni asserted that they would ultimately determine his political fate. "Having undertaken numerous initiatives in the constituency, I am confident in my chances of winning the elections. If I find myself unemployed, my constituents and supporters will not remain silent," he stated. Kesineni Nani emphasized that engaging in petty political conflicts did not align with his character, and added, "However, this does not imply that I am feeble or submissive. I refrained from attending the Tiruvuru meeting solely to avoid any potential troubles. Similarly, I chose not to participate in Lokesh's Yuva Galam padayatra in Vijayawada to ensure its peaceful progress."

The national recovery rate stands at 98.81%, while the fatality rate is at 1.18%. Since the outbreak began in January 2020, India has recorded a total of 4,50,16,604 cases. Yesterday, there were 760 new cases and two deaths, while the day before saw 602 fresh infections and five deaths. This increase in cases follows a period of comparatively low infection rates, with daily cases dropping to double digits until December 5 last year. The emergence of the JN strain of the coronavirus may have contributed to this recent surge. In recent times, there has been a notable surge in the number of cases. According to official sources, a total of 511 instances of JN.1 infections have been reported in the nation so far, with the highest number recorded in Karnataka. The breakdown of cases includes 199 in Karnataka, 148 in Kerala, 47 in Goa, 36 in Gujarat, 32 in Maharashtra, 26 in Tamil Nadu, 15 in Delhi, four in Rajasthan, two in Telangana, and one each in Odisha and Haryana. Recognizing its rapidly increasing spread, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified JN.1 as a distinct "variant of interest." However, the organization has stated that it poses a "low" risk to global public health. Previously, JN.1 was categorized as a variant of interest (VOI) within the BA.2.86 sub-lineages, which is the parent lineage classified as a VOI, as per the WHO. In light of the rise in Covid-19 cases and the identification of the JN.1 sub-variant in the country, the central government has urged states and Union territories to remain vigilant. It has directed them to closely monitor and report cases of Influenza-like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) on a district-wise basis in all healthcare facilities.

After bifurcation, residuary AP used the Raj Bhavan, High Court building, Lokayukta and SHRC buildings.

Even if the Centre accords national project status, the state would have to bear 40% of the cost of the project and the Centre will provide 60% funds.
