YSRCP Leaders Accuse Ruling Alliance of Vendetta Politics Amid Illegal Mining Case
Former MLAs of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), Mekapati Vikram Reddy and Ramireddy Prathap Reddy, have accused the ruling alliance government of engaging in vendetta politics. They allege that a fabricated mining case has been filed against Kakani Govardhan Reddy, former Minister and YSRCP Nellore district president, as part of a deliberate attempt to harass him. According to the police, six teams have been formed to search for Kakani, who is accused in an illegal quartz mining case, with operations spanning Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru. On Wednesday, the High Court dismissed the bail petition filed by Kakani's legal team. During a media conference on Thursday, Vikram Reddy claimed that the alliance government is targeting YSRCP leaders with false cases to divert attention from its unfulfilled election promises. He also referenced Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's alleged opposition to YSRCP leaders. Pratap Reddy further alleged that the coalition government is disrupting law and order in the state through factional politics, including illegal mining, belt shops, and gambling. Both leaders expressed confidence that the public will reject the alliance government in the upcoming simultaneous elections in 2027-28 and vowed to support Kakani Govardhan Reddy.
CID Exposes Forgery in Bengaluru Police FIR Registration in Land Dispute Case
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has uncovered that the Sarjapur police in Bengaluru registered a First Information Report (FIR) in a land dispute case based on a forged signature of the complainant.

The case, registered on June 1, 2021, involved charges of attempted murder, unlawful assembly, criminal intimidation, and outraging the modesty of women.

BJP Challenges Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to Seek Fresh Mandate
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has challenged Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to dissolve the State Assembly and seek a fresh mandate if he is confident about his government’s performance. BJP legislature party leader A. Maheshwar Reddy, addressing a press conference on Thursday, suggested that the Chief Minister should at least seek re-election from the Kodangal Assembly constituency, where he lost during the Parliament elections. Reddy criticized the Chief Minister for his remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Congress Party conclave in Ahmedabad, accusing him of attempting to save his position and gain favor with Rahul Gandhi. The BJP leader also accused Reddy of mortgaging Telangana’s self-respect to Gandhi and criticized the Congress government’s failure to implement its six guarantees and other promises. Additionally, BJP chief spokesperson N.V. Subash highlighted the party’s electoral successes in the 2023 Assembly and recent Lok Sabha and MLC elections, claiming that the Congress is losing ground while the BJP is gaining momentum.
CPI(M) Accuses BJP of Using Caste to Promote Hindutva Agenda
CPI(M) General Secretary M.A. Baby accused the BJP of using caste-based strategies to promote the Hindutva agenda during a Meet-the-Press event organized by the Kollam Press Club on Thursday. Baby stated that the BJP is uniting people along caste lines to impose a Hindu consciousness and expand Hindutva influence, even in Kerala. He criticized the Modi government for centralizing power and undermining the federal structure of India, claiming it is acting under the directives of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Baby also highlighted Kerala’s alternative development model, ‘Nava Kerala Srishtiyude Puthuvazhikal,’ presented by the Chief Minister, as a national example. While acknowledging the Congress’s role in the INDIA Bloc, he expressed disagreement with its stance on communalism and economic issues.
Congress Credits UPA for Tahawwur Rana’s Extradition, Criticizes Modi Government
The Congress party criticized the Narendra Modi-led government for claiming credit for the extradition of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Congress leaders, including former Home Minister P. Chidambaram, emphasized that the extradition was the result of sustained diplomatic, legal, and intelligence efforts initiated by the previous UPA government in close cooperation with the United States. The process began in 2009 when the National Investigation Agency (NIA) registered a case against Rana and others involved in the 26/11 conspiracy. Despite legal setbacks, including Rana’s acquittal in 2011 by a U.S. court, the UPA government persisted through institutional diplomacy and mutual legal cooperation frameworks like the MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty). The UPA government also secured crucial evidence from the U.S., which led to the issuance of non-bailable warrants and Interpol Red notices. The extradition process continued even after the change of government in 2014, with Rana’s release date set for 2023 after serving his sentence in the U.S. Congress highlighted that the Modi government merely benefited from the groundwork laid by the UPA.

Guntur SP Satish Kumar announced the arrest at a press conference, stating that the action was taken within 24 hours based on a complaint filed by Atmakuru residents Bangu Venkata Krishna Reddy and Sangepu Venkata Sivarama Krishna.

A fresh FIR was filed at Mangalagiri Rural Police Station under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Act. SP Satish Kumar emphasized that strict legal action would be taken against individuals making vulgar or defamatory comments against women and children on social media, as per the directives of the Chief Minister, Home Minister, and DGP. In a related incident, YSRCP former MP Gorantla Madhav allegedly attempted to attack Kiran Kumar during his transfer, but the police intervened to prevent escalation.

Karnataka High Court Directs State to Penalize Officials Failing to Enforce SC/ST Land Protection Act
The Karnataka High Court has directed the State government to establish rules to penalize officials who fail to enforce the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978. A Division Bench comprising Justice V. Kameswar Rao and Justice T.M. Nadaf highlighted the persistent shortcomings in initiating action when lands granted to Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) are unlawfully transferred. The Bench upheld a 2022 verdict by a single judge, which overturned a 2009 decision by the Special Deputy Commissioner, Bengaluru, regarding the restoration of land granted to an SC individual in 1981-82. The court noted that while the sale deed was executed in 1996 without prior permission under the PTCL Act, it was legally registered in 1998 after obtaining permission. The Bench criticized the slow response of officials, despite the suo-moto powers granted under the Act, and emphasized the need for proactive implementation to protect the interests of socially and economically disadvantaged groups. The PTCL Act was enacted to address the exploitation of SCs/STs by affluent sections through illegal land transfers, either for nominal or no consideration.
Maoists Reject Surrender Policy, Demand Halt to Security Operations in Bastar

A press release dated April 8, issued by the North-West Sub-Zonal Bureau of the CPI(Maoist), emphasized the need for a favourable environment for peace talks, which they claim is hindered by ongoing security operations. The Chhattisgarh government recently announced the Maoist Surrender and Victim Rehabilitation Policy, 2025, offering financial assistance to those who lay down arms. During his visit to Dantewada, Mr. Shah urged Maoists to surrender, promising ₹1 crore in development funds for villages that become Maoist-free. The Maoists reiterated their demand to halt security forces' operations in Bastar, stressing that dialogue cannot proceed under the threat of violence.

Pakistan Distances Itself from 26/11 Accused Rana as He is Extradited to India
On April 10, 2025, Pakistan distanced itself from Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a co-conspirator in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, who was extradited to India from the United States. During a press briefing, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that Rana had not attempted to renew his Pakistani citizenship in over two decades and emphasized that he is a Canadian citizen. Rana, born in Pakistan, attended the Pakistani military academy in Hassan Abdal, Punjab, where he befriended David Headley, a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Rana served as a doctor in the Pakistani Army before moving to Canada and the U.S., obtaining citizenship in both countries. Investigators claim he maintained covert ties to the military despite being declared a “deserter” in 1997. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) accused Rana of plotting the attacks with Headley and assisting with visa logistics, linking him to “Major Iqbal,” another suspect. Rana was acquitted in the 26/11 conspiracy but convicted for ties to Lashkar-e-Taiba and a terror plot in Copenhagen, serving part of a 14-year sentence in the U.S. Israel’s Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, praised the extradition, highlighting Rana’s role in the attacks that claimed 166 lives, including 141 Indians and 25 foreigners.

Karnataka Cabinet to Discuss Caste Census Report Amid Opposition from Vokkaliga and Lingayat Communities
The Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes conducted a socio-economic and educational survey (caste census) between 2015 and 2016, which has recently resurfaced in discussions following its submission to the government in 2024. The politically influential Vokkaliga and Veerashaiva-Lingayat communities, historically opposed to the survey, are adopting a 'wait-and-watch' approach ahead of a Cabinet meeting where the issue is expected to be discussed. The decision to bring the matter to the Cabinet was reportedly influenced by Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, during the Ahmedabad Congress session. Both communities, represented by the Rajya Vokkaligara Sangha and Akhila Bharata Veerashaiva Mahasabha, have criticized the survey as 'unscientific' and have demanded a re-survey. The post of chairman of the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes remains vacant since K. Jayaprakash Hegde stepped down after submitting the report. The government is considering forming a sub-committee or commission to review the findings and provide recommendations.
