Botsa team meets, grinds axe on Kiran?
A peculiar situation is prevailing in the state politics where a cat and mouse game is enacted by the ruling Congress leaders. Hyderabad turned out as a Centre point for playing politics and anti-Kiran propaganda is gaining momentum.
There were two emergency meetings of Seemandhra leaders held in Hyderabad and two issues were discussed in the meetings. One is obviously Telangana and the second one is surprisingly about Kiran Kumar Reddy.
The buzz in the political circles is that anti-Kiran Kumar Reddy group including PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana, Union minister Chiranjeevi and State ministers Vatti Vasanth Kumar, Balaraju, Raghu Veera Reddy and Ramachandraiah met in the residence of Anam Ramanarayana Reddy. While pro- Kiran's group MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, minister Sailajanath met in the residence of another minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao.
The anti- Kiran's group meeting gained importance in view of the reports that the Congress High Command was angry on Kiran Kumar Reddy’s rebellion. It is said that PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayna will fly to Delhi on Tuesday night to brief the political situation in the state, besides complaining on the ‘open defiance’ of Kiran Reddy on the Congress High Command. Thus, the anti- Kiran meeting was said to be a precursor to Botsa’s trip to Delhi. It is also learnt that the meeting was also keen on the future course of action, if Centre will not relent on its decision to divide the State.

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.
