Why This U Turn Over Governor: BJP
Rajahmundry: BJP MLC Somu Verraju criticised the double standards of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and questioned his u turn over Governor ESL Narasimhan. "Governor was God to TDP when he brushed aside all the political ethics and got four YSRCP MLAs as ministers into the Chandrababu cabinet. He was hailed as a very good person when he promised to talk to the Centre about Special Category Status (SCS) to AP," he observed.
Speaking to the media here today, Somu Veerraju expressed his surprise that the AP CM had forgotten that Governor was a Constitutional position and the TDP leaders were making uncalled for comments. "Why has Chandrababu taken a u turn on Narasimhan? Was he preparing the ground for a major development? If so what is it?" asked the BJP MLC.
The BJP MLC said if the state CM says people should save him, and then the question being posed by everybody is--who will save the people? BJP's worst critic, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has always been harsh on the party, but has never spoken like this, he observed. He called upon people to analyse the sudden u turn over the Governor by Chandrababu.
On Tuesday, AP CM at a public meeting in Dwarapudi, the AP chief Minister made controversial remarks on the Governor and said that he was conspiring against TDP by forming alliance of other parties. The Governor, who went on a two-day visit to New Delhi on Tuesday night, suddenly changed his mind and came back to Hyderabad on Wednesday morning.

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.
