Other panellists include MPs Shashi Tharoor, Kapil Sibal and Asaduddin Owaisi; retired Supreme Court judge, Justice Jasti Chelameswar, and Prof. G Mohan Gopal, former vice-chancellor, National Law School of India.

"South First -- as the website's name suggests -- will aim to provide accurate and non-partisan news from the Southern states, and more importantly, create a platform for informed analysis of politics and policy in the region," said GS Vasu, the founder of Dakshin Digital Media Pvt. Ltd., South First's publisher. "No aspect of our lives is unaffected by politics, be it economy, social welfare, public health, or even cinema. Hence the focus on politics and policy."
