Modi did not follow raj dharma in AP’s case: Chandrababu Naidu

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu launched into a tirade against the BJP-led central government on Monday, alleging Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not following ‘raj dharma’ by denying the state special status.

Naidu, who began a day-long fast at Andhra Bhavan demanding that the Centre fulfil all promises made during AP’s bifurcation in 2014, warned that Modi would be “taught a lesson” if he made personal attacks against the people of his state.

Women and rap triumphed at the Grammys on Sunday as female acts took home top prizes including album of the year and best new artist, and Childish Gambino made history when his hit “This Is America” became the first rap-based track to win record and song of the year.

Kacey Musgraves’ country-pop release “Golden Hour” won album of the year, and British singer Dua Lipa won best new artist a year after female voices were somewhat muted at the 2018 ceremony and the Grammys were criticized for the low number of female nominees.
