Pawan attacks KCR over family politics
Power star and Jana Sena founder Pawan Kalyan on Tuesday, launched a scathing attacking on TRS chief, K Chandrashekar Rao and his style of family politics. In Nizamabad to campaign for Modi, the star for the first time shared the dais with BJP prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi.
In a veiled reference to KCR, Pawan said he does not like turning politics into a family business. "Son, daughter , niece, and brother-in-law from a family are entering politics, and they are been given tickets. Till now, I didn't enter politics, as I didn't want to be associated with family politics," he said.
He added that if KCR family was given an opportunity to come to power in Telangana then grave injustice will be meted out to it.
Proclaiming his love for the newly formed state of Telangana, the actor said that even though he was born in Bapatla, Telangana has resurrected him.
He also added that he toured the state and is aware of the problems of the people. "I love Telangana and it is in my blood. I am talking about Telangana not because of politics, but because of love for that region," he said. Blaming Congress he added that the party took ten long years to grant the state of Telanagana. "Please ask the Congress leaders why we should vote for Congress."
Responding on the criticism that he garnered over meeting Modi, he said, "What is wrong if Jana Sena supports Modi, who is working for nation?"

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.
