Recently, Chandrababu Naidu in State Assembly had said that "I'm asking for the justice to the state." "Our aim is to bring Andhra Pradesh among top three states in India by 2022 & make it the topmost Indian state by 2029. Andhra Pradesh is the only state that set a corporation for skill development, after the Govt of India," Chandrababu Naidu had said. "You're giving industrial incentives to states with special status and you are not giving it to Andhra Pradesh. Why? It is our right. You are not letting discussion in the parliament. Why? Why we are being denied our rights?" CM had added. "I'm asking for the justice to the state. We are asking special status for certain period only for the development of the state. Please give this opportunity to the state until it becomes equal with the other southern states," he had said, reported news agency. It may be recalled that after being denied special status demand, Chandrababu Naidu withdrew from NDA. He is also planning to "no confidence motion" against Narendra Modi government in the Parliament.

West Bengal News: Suvendu Adhikari alleges TMC attack in Purulia, stages midnight protest at police stationWest Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Sunday alleged that his convoy was attacked by Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers in Purulia district, triggering panic and chaos at the spot. Adhikari was returning after attending a programme in Purulia when the incident reportedly took place. Following the alleged attack, he raised slogans and proceeded to the local police station, where he staged a peaceful sit-in protest for nearly five hours, extending until after midnight. Adhikari accused the ruling TMC of orchestrating a planned attack on his vehicle and alleged the involvement of the state police. He claimed that the incident reflected a nexus between “criminal elements and the administration,” and held Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who also heads the state home department, responsible for the situation. In strong remarks, he alleged that files were stolen and intimidation was carried out by individuals linked to the ruling party. The BJP leader also shared posts on social media platform X late at night, reiterating his allegations and stating that the fight against what he termed “political violence” in West Bengal would continue. After the incident, Adhikari reached the police station, where he remained seated in protest for several hours, demanding action against those responsible. The TMC, however, has not yet issued an official response to the allegations.
