The saffron party, which was confined to a few urban pockets a few years ago, is today confident that Telangana will become its second gateway into South India after Karnataka. After winning four Lok Sabha seats in 2019, the BJP continued its forward march and consolidated its position by winning two Assembly by-elections and posting an impressive performance in Greater Hyderabad's municipal elections.

Seen by many in Telangana's ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) as someone who still has allegiance to the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP), Tamilisai has been in the news for more than a year for the rift with the state government. She, however, has blamed the BRS government for the strained relations saying it is insulting the office of Governor.

The friction between the Governor and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has reached a point of no return which was evident once again late last month when the latter skipped a dinner hosted by her for President Droupadi Murmu. KCR, as the Chief Minister is popularly known, was present along with the Governor to welcome the President on her arrival for southern sojourn but did not go to the Raj Bhavan.

KCR recently changed the name of his party from Telangana Rashtra Samithi to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and has since been holding meetings with different parties in various states.

The trouble shooter who was rushed to Hyderabad by the All India Congress Committee (AICC), was meeting leaders individually at Gandhi Bhavan, the headquarters of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC).

This came a day after some senior leaders announced the launching of "save Congress in Telangana" movement to protect the party from leaders who came from other parties. They called a battle between the original Congress and migrants from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

A team of CBI officials were recording the statement of the Member of Legislative Council (MLC) of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) at her Banjara Hills residence. The officials, including a woman, arrived in two vehicles amid tight security around 11 a.m. and since then the questioning continued. Sources said there was a lunch break during the questioning.

A team of CBI officials will examine the Member of Legislative Council of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at her residence in Banjara Hills at 11 a.m. Ahead of the questioning, hoardings, installed by her supporters, have come up outside her residence. "Daughter of fighter will never fear. We are with Kavithakka," reads one of the hoardings.

The police have asked the controversial legislator to respond as to why action cannot be initiated against him for violating the conditions imposed by the High Court. Inspector of Mangalhat Police station has directed the MLA to reply within two days.It has been mentioned in the notice that Preventive Detention (PD) Act was invoked against Raja Singh for habitually delivering provocative and inflammatory speeches.

The CBI informed her on Tuesday that a team will visit her residence in Hyderabad at 11 a.m. on December 11 for her examination and recording of her statement in connection with the investigation in the case. The central agency has asked her to confirm availability on the said date and time.
