Sreenivasan Jain And Uma Sudhir

K Chandrasekhara Rao, who has been meeting with various political leaders ahead of the national election results, is pushing for all regional parties to operate as a bloc, especially the parties in the south.

Since Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was hospitalised on September 22, her party has fought to correct the perception that she is seriously unwell, a perspective that gained from frequent, lengthy gaps in the medical updates that her doctors provided.

This session of Parliament saw the government mulling changes to the Land Acquisition Act, specifically to do away with or dilute provisions that make acquiring land difficult. Pressure for amendments has come from state governments, and corporate India. A shortage of land is held to be a key factor in stalling industries from setting up business.
