Botsa blows Babu’s argument to pieces
In his first ever presser after joining YSRCP, senior leader Botsa Satyanarayana made a scathing attack on Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu for his attempt to drive a wedge between Telangana and AP to side track the Cash for Vote scam.
Here are the highlights of his presser at the Lotus Pond office of YSRCP:
The CM, who ascended to power by swearing to protect the constitution, has spoken in the heinous most possible manner. He has never said that the voice in the Cash for Vote audio was not his. None of his supporters have said it was not Chandrababu’s voice. Chandrababu should clarify whether it was his voice or not. In other states, ministers have resigned on similar allegations. He should resign his post, prove his innocence and come back to power through flying colours.The TDP has even stooped to criticize the governor, under whose over all leadership its government is in existence in the AP. Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP are trying to divert the attention by making it an Andhra vs Telangana issue. How can the common man feel proud under such corrupt chief minister? The chief minister has even used words like autonomy, which is highly objectionable. He is part and parcel of India and cannot claim to be autonomous. The heads of the governments should neither indulge nor incite street fights. What kind of message is he trying to send to the officialdom and the common man? The common man of AP is not simply ready to bear the cross for Chandrababu Naidu.YSRCP is strongly protesting against this attitude of the Chief Minister. Hence, it is organizing protest dharnas at all district headquarters in the state. Chandrababu should get a feedback about how the people are resenting his actions. He has shown that he is a better actor than his father-in-law NT Rama Rao. His histrionics were in full flow at the Maha Sankalp Rally of Monday.We challenge him to prove his innocence and not mortgage the interests of the state for his own personal benefit.Liveblog Updates:
A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
