Row over NTR’s photo on YSRCP posters
Fexi posters appeared in Gudivada town in Krishna district with NTR and YSR photos side by side sparked a row on Friday when TDP leaders raised objection for using NTR’s photo welcoming Sharmila, sister of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as part of her padayatra.
YSRCP leader Kodali Nani, hardcore fan of NTR and close friend of Junior NTR strongly rebuked the Desam leaders’ remarks saying that everyone has right to have the photo of NTR.
TDP leader Revanth Reddy raised objection over using NTR’s photo on the flex and demanded immediate removal from the YSRCP posters. Lakshmi Parvathi, wife of late NTR, however, backed the YSRCP workers and said any Telugu-speaking person has a right to use NTR’s picture as he was in the hearts of Telugus. But, TDP has not moral right to use NTR’s photo, she said.
Kodali Nani criticised Chandrababu Naidu for driving away NTR from the party and accused him of being responsible for the death of NTR. He lashed out at Naidu for using NTR’s photo only for political gains. He said people were respecting leaders like NTR and YSR for their commitment for the upliftment of the downtrodden. He warned the TDP leaders of dire consequences if they did not stop making wild allegations against him. Except Telugu Desam party everybody could use NTR’s photos, Nani added.
Meanwhile, hundreds of fans of Junior NTR on Friday announced that they would support YSRCP in the coming elections and joined the party in the presence of Sharmila.

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.
