Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has directed that rebel candidates contesting against National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nominees be suspended from their respective parties, emphasizing adherence to coalition dharma ahead of local body elections. He, along with Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan and BJP State president P.V.N. Madhav, finalized seat-sharing arrangements and urged voters to support NDA candidates.
In a separate development, N. Chandrababu Naidu stated that seven people had died despite precautionary measures during Cyclone Arnab, which caused heavy flooding in Ambedkar Konaseema district. Train services on the Visakhapatnam–Bhubaneswar mainline were suspended due to rising water levels under bridge number 1052, leading to the cancellation of nine short-distance trains and the diversion of 16 others, with round-the-clock monitoring underway.
