Chandrababu Naidu Losing Cool Too Often
Vijayawada: A leader loses his cool when he knows he is on his way out or is helpless. And Chandrababu Naidu is seething with rage these days at the drop of a hat. Any criticism of his government is unpalatable to him. He is seen trying to shout down the opposition. Even positive suggestions are a big No for him.
The case in point is his public spat with YSRCP's Nandikotkur MLA Y Isaiah. Recently, Isaiah sought to know why the government was acquiring fertile lands to set up a 400 crore mega food processing unit in Tangadancha village in Jupadubangla mandal of Kurnool district. He wanted the Government to set up a seed park for the farmers instead.
Even as Isaiah was making the comment, Chandrababu Naidu was seen squirming in his seat. He asked the officials and other leaders to stop the MLA. He charged the opposition with trying to obstruct developmental works.
It may be recalled that Chandrababu Naidu had behaved in a similar manner in January this year at Muchumarri village in the district when Isaiah had questioned the government policies.

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.
