Congress, BRS, MIM Running Vote-Bank Politics: Bandi
HYDERABAD: Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar accused the Congress leadership of turning the Jubilee Hills byelection campaign into a religious contest, ignoring development issues that truly affect the constituency.
Sanjay claimed the real fight was between the BJP and Congress, criticising what he termed “opportunistic alliances” between the Congress, AIMIM and the BRS. He alleged that government agencies had ignored complaints about the mysterious death of Jubilee Hills MLA Maganti Gopinath and alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao were eyeing the late MLA’s properties.
“If the Chief Minister has courage and integrity, let him order a thorough probe into Gopinath’s death,” Sanjay said, showing copies of what he claimed were official complaints regarding the case. He also questioned the nomination of Gopinath’s wife,...
Tinubu, Buhari Were First to Tell US About Christian Genocide — Former SGF Reveals
Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has made a fresh revelation about President Bola Tinubu and former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Lawal claimed that Tinubu, Buhari, and other APC leaders were the first to brief the United States government about the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria during Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
According to him, “Trump might be right, might not be right, but don’t forget, there was a delegation that first went to the United States to tell Obama then that Christians were being slaughtered in Nigeria. It included this man. Which man? The president (Tinubu). That APC delegation. I saw the picture. Buhari was there. Amaechi was there. I think he was the one even sitting close to the president where they went to...

ADC Faults FG’s Silence On Alleged Coup
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the Federal Government for keeping silent over the alleged attempted coup involving some military officers, saying its failure to clarify the matter is heightening public anxiety and creating room for dangerous speculation. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, described the government’s inaction as “deeply concerning,” especially in a democracy still recovering from the scars of past military interventions. Recall that on October 18, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) dismissed as false and misleading reports by an online medium alleging that activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary were cancelled due to an attempted coup plot. The DHQ, in a statement by its Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur...
The Fraser manifesto: A former prime minister’s plan to replace the Liberal Party
‘Describing these things as left wing reflects the way in which our politics is being twisted.’Former Liberal prime minister Malcolm Fraser (Image: Private Media)
We are currently witnessing the death throes of the Liberal Party. To a good chunk of the electorate who voted for the current government, that doesn’t matter… except that it leaves Labor in full power with no meaningful opposition.
A decade ago, former Liberal prime minister Malcolm Fraser predicted this moment would come, and he spent his final years working on the answer: a new political party, built on traditional liberal values but without the now-toxic name.Bernard Keane joins the podcast to revisit Fraser’s plan to replace the Liberal Party. The detailed “Renew Australia” manifesto remains remarkably relevant, and takes a surprisingly progressive stance on issues like immigration, our relationship with the...
What It’s Like to Watch An Internet-Based Ideology Break Containment
I first realized the extent of the internet’s takeover of U.S. politics while standing in the lobby of a drab hotel convention center, listening to an elderly gentleman rattle off a list of fringe conspiracy forums he frequented.
“Prison Planet,” he told me, and “Infowars.”
“Wow,” I said. In the conference room behind us, a man distributed papers watermarked with a custom edit of Pepe, a cartoon frog that achieved infamy as an unofficial mascot of the too-online, 4chan-dwelling alt-right of the 2010s.
I wasn’t at an alt-right conference. Nor was I at a meetup of tech-savvy trolls. I was at the 2018 Flat Earth International Conference in Aurora, Colorado. The hundreds of globe denialists who’d gathered included friendly retirees, mother-daughter duos,...

Believe it when AI see it: is this a deepfake turning point in politics?
Elections this week in Ireland and the Netherlands were disrupted by AI deepfakes as the post-truth future that experts have long warned about came one step closer.
Newly elected Irish President Catherine Connolly survived a doctored video showing her supposed withdrawal from the election on the eve of voting, while Dutch firebrand Geert Wilders was forced to apologise for a fabricated video distributed by two of his party’s MPs depicting centre-left opponent Frans Timmermans being arrested.Since deepfakes first emerged in 2017 as “incel-produced nonconsensual porn”, concerns have “snowballed into panic” when their political consequences became apparent, said The Guardian. AI “slopaganda” is here to stay and promises to influence our lives “for better or for worse”.The WeekEscape your echo chamber.
