CM Revanth devices strategy to conquer AP. Recent developments suggest that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who surprised the ruling BRS and KCR in Telangana, is orchestrating a secret plan to conquer Andhra Pradesh. The existing alliance between TDP and Janasena positions Congress as an attractive alternative for those seeking a change, especially given the challenges associated with securing a nomination from the current alliance. Revanth Reddy is strategically positioning himself to capitalize on this political landscape.\r\nReports indicate that individuals joining Congress may find assurance of receiving a party ticket, as part of Revanth\'s plan. The strategy encompasses safeguarding the interests of those switching allegiances, particularly concerning businesses and properties in Hyderabad.\r\nThe potential success of Revanth\'s plan could witness around 20 YCP MLAs contesting on behalf of Congress, a noteworthy and unconventional development for the established party. Speculations also abound that YS Sharmila might assume a leadership role within Congress, injecting additional momentum into the party. The collaboration between Telangana Congress and AP Congress, facilitated by being in power, could provide further support to Revanth\'s ambitious efforts.\r\nAs political dynamics continue to evolve, Revanth Reddy\'s calculated moves suggest a potential shake-up in Andhra Pradesh politics, with Congress positioning itself strategically to capitalize on changing sentiments and alliances.\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;

KCR gunning for LS elections. In 2019, the BRS secured victories in nine constituencies: Khammam, Medak, Zaheerabad, Warangal, Mahbubabad, Mahbubnagar, Peddapalli, Chevella, and Nagarkurnool, conceding Hyderabad to the MIM.
Party president K. Chandrashekar Rao delegated the task of galvanizing members for the general elections to working president K.T. Rama Rao. His team, featuring party secretary general K. Keshava Rao, senior leaders T. Harish Rao, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Kadiam Srihari, G. Jagadish Reddy, S. Niranjan Reddy, V. Prashant Reddy, and former Speaker S. Madhusudhana Chary, is set to initiate Lok Sabha constituency-wise meetings from January 3 at the party headquarters, Telangana Bhavan, in Hyderabad.
The party faces challenges in retaining some of the nine seats and making headway in others, notably in Khammam, Hyderabad, Nalgonda, and Peddapalli constituencies. In the recent state elections, the party's candidates faced defeat in all Assembly segments within these Lok Sabha seats.
The BRS secured victories in only one segment each in Bhongir, Warangal, and Mahbubabad, two each in Adilabad, Zaheerabad, and Nagarkurnool, and three Assembly segments each in Nizamabad and Karimnagar.
Scheduled from January 3, the meetings aim to collect feedback from party leaders across all 17 Lok Sabha constituencies, devising a strategy to counter the Congress and BJP. Notably, the BJP holds four Lok Sabha seats in the state, and the Congress, despite its members resigning post-Assembly victories, maintains three.

Who among PK, CBN, Lokesh take on Sumo wrestler Jagan. As the impending elections draw near in Andhra Pradesh, the political landscape is ablaze with escalating tensions and fervor. The battle cry has been sounded by TDP supremo Chandra Babu, joined by Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, along with the formidable duo of Lokesh and Balakrishna. Their unified stance is set against the incumbent YSRCP and its leader, Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The anticipation surrounding CM Jagan's entry into the political arena has sparked speculation about who will step up to challenge him. Many liken Jagan to a Sumo Wrestler in the Political Akhada, raising the pivotal question of whether Chandra Babu, Lokesh, Balakrishna, and Pawan Kalyan possess the strength and vigor to engage in this political bout.

Jagan, equipped with substantial financial backing, has adeptly drawn societal lines along caste and religious divides. The allure of freebies has endeared him to the most vulnerable sections of society. Moreover, Jagan has demonstrated a shrewd political acumen reminiscent of Chandra Babu Naidu, while also displaying the tenacity of a tiger in countering his adversaries, as witnessed in his confrontations with MP Raghu Rama Krishnam Raju and his own relative Vivekananda Reddy.

Chandra Babu, a seasoned political strategist, finds himself grappling with the aggressive nature of Jagan. Pawan Kalyan, though youthful and dynamic, grapples with the challenge of translating his energy into effective political strategies due to his relative inexperience. Meanwhile, Lokesh's verbal attacks remain confined to rhetoric, and Balakrishna, despite his fan following, struggles to articulate a forceful political stance, given his lack of political seasoning.

The political arena is now fixated on identifying the opposition's Sumo Wrestler who will square off against the formidable Jagan. The contest is not merely a clash of ideologies but a test of political prowess, where experience, strategy, and dynamism converge. As the contenders prepare for this electoral showdown, the citizens of Andhra Pradesh await the unveiling of the opposition force that will take on the formidable Sumo Wrestler Jagan in the political Akhada.

Revanth set to meet PM Modi. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is set to engage in a significant meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday, marking his first official interaction in his capacity as Chief Minister. Accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, this meeting holds importance as it signifies the first encounter between the Prime Minister and a Telangana state Chief Minister since the contentious meeting between K. Chandrashekar Rao and Modi on September 4, 2021.
In the aftermath of that meeting, relations had soured, leading to a strained dynamic between the BJP and BRS during the Huzurabad bypoll in October 2021. Subsequently, Chief Minister Rao had delegated the duty of receiving and bidding farewell to the Prime Minister to Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav during his visits to Hyderabad and Telangana.
Now, with the change in government in Telangana, following the Congress assuming office on December 7, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy aims to discuss crucial issues with Modi, including the release of pending Central funds to the state. Sources indicate that Reddy, despite being unwell for the past three days, is determined to address matters related to funds owed under PM Awas Yojana, Indiramma house construction for the poor, NREGA, panchayat raj and rural development schemes, and Central health mission schemes.
Post the meeting with Modi, Reddy is expected to hold discussions with senior Congress leaders, such as Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge, and general secretary K.C. Venugopal. The agenda is likely to encompass the party's preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, as well as discussions on the Cabinet expansion and the filling of nominated posts.
Upon his return from Delhi, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is scheduled to participate in a grand Congress rally in Nagpur on December 28, coinciding with the celebration of the party's foundation day. The series of interactions and events underscore the significant role he plays in shaping both state and national political landscapes.

CBN says Curtains for Jagan. In a riveting declaration, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of Telugu Desam (TD), has dramatically foretold the conclusion of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy\'s tenure, dubbing it a \"Jagan cinema\" and predicting his departure within the next three months. This bold proclamation unfolded during a party event that welcomed leaders and activists from diverse opposition parties in Pedakurapadu, Tanuku, Amalapuram, and Gajapatinagaram constituencies, who chose to align with TD.\r\nNaidu underscored that the approaching 2024 elections transcend personal ambitions, whether his own or those of his Janasena allies, portraying it as a decisive battle for the destiny of the state\'s five crore citizens. He painted a somber tableau of discontent prevailing across various sectors, citing instances of farmer suicides, the plight of struggling aqua farmers, and the hardships faced by horticulture growers&mdash;all indicative, according to Naidu, of Jagan\'s purported mismanagement.\r\nRevealing his recent engagement in two yagnas (\"religious ceremonies\")&mdash;Sudarshana Narasimha Yagam and Chandi Yagam&mdash;over the past three days, Naidu conveyed his earnest prayers for the well-being of the people.\r\nHe asserted his extensive experience in public service, proudly recounting a remarkable 14-year tenure as Chief Minister and over a decade as Leader of the Opposition. \"My focus is unwaveringly on the welfare of the Telugu people,\" he declared, positioning himself as a seasoned leader committed to the state\'s prosperity.

Chandrababu Naidu Predicts Jagan Defeat

Pawan drowing kapus in deep blue sea Former home minister Chegondi Hare Ramajogaiah has raised serious concerns, alleging that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has disappointed the hopes of the Kapu community, and he apprehends that Pawan Kalyan is on the verge of compromising Kapu interests to Telugu Desam chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu.

In a letter addressed to the Kapu community on Sunday, Ramajogaiah emphasized the precarious social landscape in the state, highlighting the potential threat to the existence of the Kapu community. He expressed his dismay, stating that the ongoing political developments are not conducive to the well-being of Kapus.

Ramajogaiah pointed out the historical exploitation of the Kapu community by political parties, likening their treatment to the use of curry leaves&mdash;employed for flavor and discarded after each election. Urging the Kapus to be discerning and not fall prey to political maneuvers, he asserted, "Kapus are not ready to be cheated by Chandrababu Naidu."

Drawing attention to the initial hopes vested in Pawan Kalyan as a leader for the Kapu community after Vangaveeti Ranga, Ramajogaiah lamented the perceived betrayal as Pawan Kalyan aligned himself with Chandrababu Naidu. He deemed this alliance as a betrayal of Kapu interests and suggested that the allegations of Pawan Kalyan receiving favors from Telugu Desam might hold truth in light of current developments.

Expressing bewilderment at TD leader Nara Lokesh unilaterally declaring Chandrababu Naidu as the next chief minister without consulting Jana Sena, Ramajogaiah accused Chandrababu of scheming to undermine the self-respect of Kapus. Despite his previous open letter to Pawan Kalyan about the prevailing political trends, neither Pawan Kalyan nor Jana Sena&rsquo;s political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar responded to his concerns.

Ramajogaiah concluded by speculating that Pawan Kalyan might eventually merge Jana Sena into the Telugu Desam, urging Kapus to raise their voices and safeguard the interests and dignity of their community. The letter serves as a stark warning about the potential repercussions of political alliances on the Kapu community's well-being and identity.

Jagan is more wily than psephologists. The recent hiring of poll strategist Prashant Kishor by the Telugu Desam (TD) has been shrugged off by the ruling Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRC), with state ministers confidently asserting that \"CM Jagan is equal to six Kishors in framing political and election strategies.\"\r\nAccording to ministers and YSRC legislators, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has earned the support of the people of Andhra Pradesh through the successful implementation of welfare and development programs. They contend that the Telugu Desam finds itself in a weakened position leading up to the general elections, prompting Chandrababu Naidu to seek relevance in state politics by enlisting Prashant Kishor\'s assistance.\r\nWater resources minister Ambati Rambabu asserted that Chandrababu Naidu\'s lack of credibility, attributed to past actions of \"cheating and deceiving,\" led to the weak standing of the TD. The alliance with Jana Sena proved ineffective, prompting the recruitment of Prashant Kishor in an attempt to boost the TD\'s electoral prospects.\r\nSocial welfare minister Meruga Nagarjuna dismissed concerns about Kishor\'s association with the TD, stating that YSRC is not worried as Jagan Reddy is an adept political and electoral strategist, equivalent to six Prashant Kishors. He emphasized the trust placed in Jagan by the public in the 2019 elections and the fulfillment of poll promises despite the challenges posed by the COVID crisis.\r\nOther ministers, including Jogi Ramesh, Vidadala Rajini, and Kodali Srivenkateswara Rao, echoed the sentiment that Naidu\'s credibility had already diminished, and the addition of Prashant Kishor would not alter the political landscape. They argued that the welfare and development initiatives of the YSRC under Jagan\'s leadership would secure victory in the 2024 elections.\r\nThe ministers dismissed the potential impact of the dual \"PK\" factor&mdash;Pawan Kalyan and Prashant Kishor&mdash;brought in by Naidu, asserting that it would not dent the YSRC\'s strong position in Andhra Pradesh politics. They emphasized the trust and confidence of the people in the leadership of Jagan Mohan Reddy, portraying him as the driving force behind the party\'s continued dominance.\r\nIn the midst of all these developments, the question is can Jagan outwit all the psephologists and political analysts.&nbsp;

CBN, Lokesh comments on Pawan denting alliance prospects?.The TDP and Jana Sena are strategically aligning themselves to challenge the ruling YSRCP and the influential Chief Minister Jagan in the upcoming 2024 elections. The alliance, led by TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, is navigating the sensitive issue of the chief ministerial position with caution.\r\nWhile it\'s evident that, as the major partner, Chandra Babu is poised to assume the CM role if the alliance secures victory, Pawan Kalyan is assuring his cadre that discussions about the CM post will occur post-election results. Despite this, Chandra Babu, in various public meetings, has asserted that he will take charge as CM within the next three to four months. Similarly, Lokesh, his son, echoed this sentiment, stating that Chandra Babu will assume the CM role after three months.\r\nWhen questioned about the possibility of offering the Deputy CM post to Pawan Kalyan, Chandra Babu responded that such decisions would be made after discussions within the TDP and Jana Sena politburo.\r\nThis stance has irked Jana Sainiks, who are expressing frustration, questioning why Lokesh would defer discussion on the CM post to the politburo but not extend the same courtesy to the Deputy CM post. The perception among Jana Sainiks is that Chandra Babu and Lokesh are using Pawan as a disposable tool, equating him to a tissue paper. In response to this perceived disregard, some Jana Sainiks are expressing disillusionment and suggesting alternative actions, such as voting for either NOTA or Jagan\'s YSRCP in protest.\r\nThe dynamics of this alliance and the speculation around key leadership roles are creating tensions within the partner parties, reflecting the intricacies of political alliances and the challenge of managing expectations among diverse supporter bases.

KTR Fortress getting crumbled. With a wave of leaders from various political parties, notably from the BRS, aligning themselves with the Congress, the ruling party is experiencing a surge in strength within the Sircilla Assembly constituency&mdash;a stronghold of BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao.

Recent developments witnessed the migration of key leaders from BRS, including Thangallapalli ZPTC leaders Manjula Reddy and Ramalinga Reddy, who transitioned to the Congress. This move was followed by a significant defection of 15 BRS councillors, all united in their decision to table a no-confidence motion against municipal chairperson Jindham Kala. Notably, a substantial majority, 20 out of 39 councillors, are backing the motion, signaling a significant shift in local political dynamics.

The trend of leaders crossing party lines is not limited to Sircilla alone. Even in the Vemulawada segment, BRS is witnessing a diminishing influence. Prominent figures such as Vemulawada town president Pulkam Raju, co-option member Srilakshmi, and 14 ward councillor Bingi Mahesh have opted to align themselves with the Congress.

In a parallel development, a looming no-confidence motion against municipal chairperson R. Madhavi seems inevitable, with 21 out of the 28 councillors expressing their support for the move. During a recent meeting, a consensus was reached to endorse Konda Srilatha as an alternative to Madhavi.

Sources within the Congress reveal that this influx of public representatives from the BRS, coupled with other influential leaders, maintains a consistent flow of communication with senior leaders of the ruling party. The eagerness displayed by these leaders to join the Congress is further underscored by reports of potential no-confidence motions against MPPs in the district.

This dynamic political landscape reflects a shifting tide, with the ruling party strategically consolidating its influence by capitalizing on the changing allegiances and aspirations of key political figures in the region.

Lokesh receives PK, PK to meet CBN. Renowned electoral strategist and founder of the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), Prashant Kishor, made a significant appearance in Vijayawada on Saturday, igniting speculation about his involvement in the upcoming Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections. Kishor, popularly known as PK, arrived at Gannavaram Airport alongside TDP General Secretary Nara Lokesh, with both flying in from Hyderabad.\r\nThe duo proceeded to N. Chandrababu Naidu\'s residence in Undavalli, Amaravati, where Prashant Kishor engaged in discussions with the TDP supremo. The timing of this meeting, just ahead of the crucial elections, has fueled anticipation about PK\'s potential role in strategizing for the TDP.\r\nIn the 2019 elections, Prashant Kishor collaborated with the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), contributing significantly to their landslide victory over TDP. Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy\'s party secured 151 out of 175 Assembly seats and triumphed in 22 out of 25 Lok Sabha constituencies.\r\nAs Andhra Pradesh braces for both Assembly and Lok Sabha polls in April-May next year, speculations have been rife for months that PK might lend his strategic expertise to the TDP. Reportedly, Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee played a role in convincing Prashant Kishor to support Chandrababu Naidu, with talks commencing after TMC\'s triumph in the West Bengal Assembly elections in June 2021.\r\nThe meeting between Naidu and PK follows closely on the heels of a large public gathering in Vizianagaram district, where Naidu shared the stage with Jana Sena Party (JSP) leader and actor Pawan Kalyan. Both TDP and JSP have announced an alliance for the upcoming elections. While Pawan Kalyan, aligned with the BJP-led NDA, remains optimistic about BJP\'s potential inclusion in the alliance to challenge YSRCP, the unfolding political dynamics in Andhra Pradesh add an intriguing dimension to the electoral landscape.\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;
