Happy Birthday Jagan
Today is the birthday of YSR Congress party president, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. On Jagan's 40th birthday which is today, scores of his supporters gathered outside the Chanchalguda jail raising slogans in support of their beloved leader.
His family members too paid him a visit to greet him on his birthday. YSRCP honourary president and Jagan's mother, YS Vijayamma, his wife Bharathi and many of their relatives met Jagan at the Chanchalguda prison on this occasion.
Party workers and supporters have been offering special prayers and organising blood donation camps across the state to mark his birthday.
It may be mentioned here that Jagan has been under unlawful detention since May 27. Despite several attempts to seek bail, Jagan's bail has been rejected with some excuse or the other exposing the conspiracy hatched by the Centre to confine him to the four walls of the prison.
All this happened as Jagan fearlessly defied Congress! If Congress thought they can strengthen their party prospects in the state, they certainly miscalculated. The rising popularity of YSRCP is undeniable! Jagan is one leader, who despite being behind bars, has managed to command the respect and love of people. His fan base has only grown by the day. The innumerable facebook accounts in his name stands testimony to this fact. Perhaps never before in the history of politics has a youth icon managed to garner so much public adulation.
Although his fans are disappointed that the court put off its decision on Jagan's bail till Monday, Jagan as always remained unfazed by all that's happening around him.
Surveys conducted by several reputed TV channels have already declared that YSRCP will sweep the 2014 elections.
With Sharmila's padayatra titled 'Maro Praja Prasthanam' having generated a stupendous response, the popularity is there for everyone to see.

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.
