This extreme #Heatwave across India is a reminder that in just 3 years, the General Elections and AP Assembly Elections are scheduled to coincide during peak summer. With temperatures consistently above 40°C, expecting lakhs of people to gather for rallies, sabhas, and political campaigning raises serious public health concerns. I urge @ECISVEEP to consider advancing the election schedule by a few months in the interest of voter health. @narendramodi ji #AndhraPradesh

Today’s oath-taking ceremony of Tamil Nadu’s new Ministers will stand as a reminder of how the @INCIndia chose to snap ties with one of its oldest allies, the DMK over just 2 state minister posts, despite the DMK consistently standing with the Congress in Parliament. Politics may be about power, but alliances also demand trust and loyalty. The “Great Tamil Nadu Betrayal.” #TamilNadu #Congress #DMK #Politics

Security Transaction Tax (STT) was introduced when Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on equities were exempt from tax. Today, tax on LTCG is at 12.5% LTCG tax while STT continues to remain in place. At a time when Foreign Investors are pulling capital out of Indian markets, there is a strong case to remove STT to attract greater foreign capital inflows into the Indian economy.

The Central Govt. has already reduced excise duty on petrol by ₹10/litre in March. My earlier tweet on this issue was directed only at the AP Govt., which continues to levy 31% VAT, an additional ₹4/litre VAT, and ₹1/litre cess on petrol. Also, reducing fuel prices was a key promise made by TDP. I am merely urging the State Govt. to fulfil its commitment to the people. @ncbn #PetrolPrices #AndhraPradesh

The absence of key INDIA alliance leaders at the oath-taking ceremony of Kerala CM Shri V. D. Satheesan reflects the growing cracks within the INDIA bloc. Notably, no major alliance partners from West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh or even Bihar were present at the event, raising fresh questions about the alliance’s cohesion and future direction.

If South Indian states want to reverse declining birth rates, the focus must shift to the root cause, the rising cost of raising children. Quality education, accessible healthcare, affordable housing and economic stability will naturally encourage families to have more children. Giving financial incentives may not be the right way. #AndhraPradesh

Most of India’s AI ecosystem today is built around wrappers on existing LLMs trained for use cases. We need foundational AI innovation, from models to core research if we want to remain competitive in the global AI race. The talent exists in abundance, what we need is the right direction, long-term investment, and institutional support. #AI #Innovation @AshwiniVaishnaw ji.

Petrol prices in AP have surged to ₹113/litre, the highest in India. This is not only increasing the cost of living, but also leading to revenue leakage as many vehicle owners near border districts prefer refuelling in neighbouring states where prices are lower. I urge the AP Govt. to bring petrol prices at least on par with neighbouring states to provide some relief to the public. @ncbn garu #AndhraPradesh

Urging Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan ji to clamp down heavily on those accused of #NEET #PaperLeak. The massive mental turmoil they have put on the 22 lakh aspirants and their families are unparalleled. Strict and deterrent punishment is the need of the hour. @dpradhanbjp ji.

Reiterating Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji’s concerns that this decade is increasingly turning into a decade of global crises and instability unless corrective action is taken urgently. The return of Mr. Donald Trump to the US Presidency has unsettled the international order, and developing nations like India could bear the economic and geopolitical consequences of this disruption. #EnergyCrisis #Trump

The biggest disruption from AI would be to India’s IT/ITES giants like TCS, Infosys and Wipro, as seen in ongoing layoffs and pressure on their market valuations. Indian IT majors must now aggressively invest their billions in profits into building globally competitive AI products and platforms to take on US/Chinese AI firms. With the right policy support from @AshwiniVaishnaw ji, India has the talent and scale to emerge as an AI powerhouse. #IT #TCS #Wipro

1/2: Section 26 of the AP Reorganisation Act increases the Assembly seats in AP from 175 to 225. With Census 2026, the hurdle of Article 170 will be resolved. This will be the single biggest political change in AP, reshaping the electoral landscape. 2/2: How these additional seats are distributed between Coastal Andhra, Uttarandhra, and Rayalaseema will influence the political balance of the state. In the interest of regional equity and stability, I hope the existing seat ratio between these regions is maintained. #AndhraPradesh #Elections @ECISVEEP @ncbn @JaiTDP @BJP4India @BJP4Andhra @INCIndia @YSRCParty @JanaSenaParty @cpimspeak @cpofindia @TV9Telugu @NtvTeluguLive @tv5telugu @SakshiNews @etvandhraprades @abntelugutv @hmtvnewslive @PTI_News @ANI @timesofindia @DeccanChronicle @eenadulivenews @namastetelangan @ANDHRAJYOTI @IndiaToday

With #SIR (Special intensive revision) set to begin from June 5 in Andhra Pradesh, I urge the Election Commission to ensure utmost transparency. With 3 years left for the next AP elections, there is enough time for a thorough revision of electoral rolls along with time to appeal before a tribunal in case of a wrong deletion. Political Parties need to realise a "credible electoral roll" is the foundation of a strong democracy. @ECISVEEP #Elections #AndhraPradesh

The government should come out with clear guidelines on the maximum number of vehicles allowed in a convoy. Security of our dignitaries must remain a top priority and there should be no compromise on that front. At the same time, proper guidelines will ensure lean, effective and security-focused movements instead of unnecessary displays of power. #AusterityMeasures

Congratulating Shri @vdsatheesan on being elected as the next Chief Minister of Keralam. While the Congress high command took considerable time to arrive at this decision, I hope your leadership now brings the decisive governance and direction that the people of #Keralam expect and deserve. Wishing you a successful tenure ahead. #Elections

The Rs. 3 increase in petrol and diesel prices is minimal and required at a time when the world is facing an energy crisis. This decision should be coupled with creating thousands of fast EV charging stations and promoting last mile public transportation in all urban areas. PM @narendramodi ji.

Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji leading by example by reducing his convoy size by 50% is a welcome step. I hope Chief Ministers including AP and other VVIPs also adopt similar measures and continue them even beyond the present crisis. Massive convoys project excess rather than efficiency. Most developed nations rely on lean, effective and security-focused movements instead of unnecessary displays of power. @ncbn #AusterityMeasures

All states that went to polls have sworn in their Chief Ministers, except Keralam. The delay leaves a leadership vacuum and slows governance. Complete leadership failure of the Congress which must now expedite its process and announce a clear Chief Ministerial choice without further delay. #Elections #keralaelections2026 @INCIndia

The weakening of our Rupee to ₹95.7= $1 is concerning. I hope the RBI intervenes to prevent any further slide. While exporters gain, imports continues to drain valuable forex reserves. Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji’s appeal to reduce nearly $250 billion worth of imports, Petroleum ($135B), Gold ($72B), Edible Oils ($19.5B) and Fertilisers ($14.5B) is therefore in national interest. India must focus on boosting production and reducing import dependence. #RupeeDepreciation #Economy #Gold #Petrol #Appeal

AP’s politics is stuck between two extremes, TDP’s urban centric outlook that ignores rural areas and YSRCP’s only welfare approach with no vision for growth. What AP needs is a credible 3rd alternative, one that brings parity between development and welfare, bringing in foreign direct investment while ensuring its benefits reach every part of the state. @JaiTDP @YSRCParty #AndhraPradesh #TDP #YSRCP #ThirdAlternate
