Jana Sena Party will hold a public meeting in Visakhapatnam on August 30, says Nadendla
Jana Sena Party Political Affairs Committee chairman and Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar on Tuesday said that the party will hold a public meeting at the Municipal Corporation Stadium in Visakhapatnam on August 30 at 3 p.m. Party president and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan will address the gathering. Mr. Manohar said Mr. Pawan Kalyan chose Visakhapatnam out of his special interest in the city and recalled how the party had organised a long march against the YSRCP government's sand policy in 2019. To defeat the YSRCP without splitting anti-incumbency votes, Mr. Pawan Kalyan had taken the decision to join hands with the TDP and BJP, he said. With the leadership of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and support of the Union government, Andhra Pradesh was witnessing 'true governance,' he added. Mr. Pawan Kalyan will outline the Jana Sena's future plans and its ties with the allies at the meeting, which is expected to draw about 15,000 workers from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The party has 12.43 lakh registered members, and 12 committees are overseeing the event arrangements. On the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Mr. Manohar said the Jana Sena has always supported its growth and opposed privatisation. Mr. Pawan Kalyan had also taken up the issue with BJP leaders at the Centre with the slogan 'Visakha Ukku – Andhrula Hakku,' he said.

TDP stands firm with NDA V-P pick; Modi urges unanimous election of alliance candidate
The NDA parliamentary party on Tuesday (August 19, 2025) felicitated the alliance's candidate for the vice-presidential polls, C.P. Radhakrishnan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealing for support for him across party lines, and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Nara Lokesh reiterating his party's support to him, after the INDIA bloc chose Justice (retired) Sudershan Reddy as its candidate. Posting on X, Mr. Lokesh said there was 'no ambiguity — only warmth, respect, and resolve. The NDA stands united,' over a picture taken earlier of him and TDP MPs meeting Mr. Radhakrishnan to extend their support to his candidature. The post clarified that despite the fact that Justice Reddy was a Telugu speaker, the TDP was supporting the NDA candidate, Mr. Radhakrishnan, who is a Tamilian. Mr. Radhakrishnan had earlier received support from the YSRCP on Monday (August 18, 2025), after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had spoken to party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy. Till the time of filing this report, there was no official word on whether that offer of support still stands. Mr. Modi, meanwhile, used the opportunity presented by the NDA parliamentary party meet to exhort all parties to elect Mr. Radhakrishnan. In a reference to Mr. Radhakrishnan's background as a keen sportsperson, Mr. Modi said he had a lot of interests in sports but did not play games in politics, according to informed sources. 'Mr. Modi has appealed, especially to the Opposition friends, to unanimously elect Radhakrishnan ji as the Vice-President of India. It will be a good thing for the country, for democracy and for the running of the Rajya Sabha,' said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju. He added that NDA constituents also commended Mr. Modi for selecting a 'good and able candidate' as the NDA candidate for the vice-presidential polls. Mr. Singh had also dialled Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Naveen Patnaik but no official word either way has been forthcoming from those quarters. BJP sources said Mr. Singh would continue to canvass support across party lines for Mr. Radhakrishnan, with Mr. Rijiju having been appointed polling agent. Mr. Radhakrishnan will be filing his nomination papers on Wednesday (August 20, 2025), and polls for electing the Vice-President of India, with an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament, will be held on September 9. Results will be out on the same day as polling.

Why INDIA Bloc Chose Justice Sudershan Reddy as Its Vice President Pick Against NDA's Radhakrishnan
The INDIA Bloc's surprise choice of Justice (Retd.) B Sudershan Reddy has spiced up the Vice Presidential poll battle, putting Chandrababu Naidu's TDP in a political trap. The BJP's pick, CP Radhakrishnan, is a Tamil leader—but the Opposition has countered with an Andhra judge, turning this into a pride vs loyalty test for TDP. With numbers stacked in NDA's favor, the INDIA Bloc is betting on optics and unity to send a message. Will TDP risk a rift with BJP by siding with Andhra sentiment, or stand by its NDA ally and face local backlash? The answer could shape the narrative in Andhra politics and signal how much sway the INDIA Bloc still holds in the South. Read More
