As a mark of respect, floral tributes were offered to the statue of Professor Jayashankar. During the memorial event, several speakers paid homage to his unparalleled contribution to the Telangana movement and recalled his lifelong struggle to secure a separate statehood for Telangana.

They stressed that the real tribute to his legacy would be the realization of his socio-economic vision, which is still a work in progress. They called upon all sections of society and political leadership to strive toward fulfilling the aspirations that Professor Jayashankar stood for.

Mayasabha OTT release date OUT: When and where to watch Aadhi Pinisetty's political drama web series online
Mayasabha OTT release date: Mayasabha, the high-octane Telugu political drama, is all set for its OTT debut. Headlined by Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao, the web series has already generated a lot of buzz on social media for its intense premise, compelling cast, and bold political parallels. Mayasabha finally has an official release date. The highly anticipated web series will be available online on streaming platform SonyLIV from 7 August 2025. In an official announcement, the OTT platform shared the teaser for Mayasabha and wrote on X: 'A Story of Two Great Friends, Turned into Political Rivals, that became Story of the State…Mayasabha Streaming on Sony LIV from 7th Aug.' Set against the volatile political backdrop of 1990s Andhra Pradesh, Mayasabha unfolds the gripping tale of ambition, loyalty, and betrayal. At its heart are Kakarla Krishnama Naidu and MS Rami Reddy—two charismatic leaders whose friendship begins as a powerful alliance but soon spirals into a bitter rivalry that reshapes the state's political future. Whispers in the industry suggest the series is heavily inspired by the legendary political tug-of-war between former Chief Ministers N Chandrababu Naidu and the late Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy. While the creators have remained tight-lipped about any real-life parallels, the narrative and character arcs bear a striking resemblance to these iconic figures. Other than Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao, Mayasabha boasts a robust ensemble cast that includes Divya Dutta, Sai Kumar, Srikanth Iyengar, Nassar, Tanya Ravichandran, Ravindra Vijay, and Shatru. The web series is directed by Deva Katta, an acclaimed filmmaker known for films like Prasthanam and Autonagar Surya. Mayasabha marks Katta's OTT debut. Naga Chaitanya was rumoured to be attached to the project during its initial stages. However, the final line-up features Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao stepping into the lead roles, promising a compelling on-screen duel that mirrors one of the most dramatic chapters in Andhra politics.

Suspend GO No. 20 on local status: CPM to AP government
VIJAYAWADA: The CPM has urged the State government to suspend GO No. 20, which alters the local status criteria for higher education admissions, and continue the existing local status policy. The demand follows confusion and concern among students and parents caused by the new rules. Under Article 371(D) of the Constitution, a three-region system ensured equal education and employment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Post-bifurcation, a Presidential Order extended this for 10 years, but its validity ended last year. Telangana has since treated Andhra students as non-locals, while Andhra Pradesh issued GO No. 20 on May 21, 2025, classifying students who studied one of the last four years outside the State as non-locals. This has sparked widespread unrest. Additionally, proving local status now requires parents to provide a residential certificate showing 10 years of residence in Andhra Pradesh or study certificates proving 10 years of education in the State, it said. The CPM criticised the government for implementing these changes without public awareness or consultation.

Indian Map Without Telangana? BRS' KT Rama Rao Fumes At Andhra BJP Chief
Hyderabad: The BRS on Thursday strongly objected to Andhra Pradesh BJP chief P V N Madhav presenting a map titled "Glory of Indian Culture" to Minister Nara Lokesh in which Telangana was reportedly not visible. BRS Working President K T Rama Rao, in a post on 'X', urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to clarify whether the omission reflected the BJP's "political agenda or plan". Mr Rao said that people had fought for generations for a cultural identity, rightful place in history, and geographical recognition for Telangana. Honourable PM @narendramodi ji, We have fought for generations for our cultural identity, our rightful place in history, and our geographical position - TELANGANA Today, your Andhra Pradesh state BJP chief; Madhav Garu, has belittled our struggle by gifting a United Andhra… — KTR (@KTRBRS) July 10, 2025 When contacted, Mr Madhav told PTI that the map was a framed artistic picture with only a thin line separating Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In his post, Mr Rao claimed: "Today, your Andhra Pradesh BJP chief, Madhav garu, has belittled our struggle by gifting a map of a united Andhra Pradesh, ignoring the existence of Telangana. This is absolutely unacceptable and reflects a blatant disregard for the people of Telangana—for our state, our struggle, and the sacrifices of our martyrs and history." He added that if the omission was a genuine oversight, the BJP leadership should apologise to the people of Telangana. Mr Madhav met Mr Lokesh on Wednesday in Vijayawada after assuming charge as the Andhra BJP president and presented him with the portrait.
