BRS’s RS Praveen Kumar says the Congress government cut his cover without showing its homework, and warns of a court fight. Courts say security follows threat, not favour — which makes the missing criteria the whole question.
A report says day two of heavy rain slowed key stretches across the city, with waterlogging near ongoing works. The numbers are the report’s — agencies have not published theirs.
Report says 300 kg seized near Hyderabad and two arrested. Until a lab says what it is and a police note says who did what, this is an allegation, not a racket.
Supreme Court strikes down the Union environment ministry’s 2021 office memo that let violators seek ‘ex post facto’ clearances. Prospective only: past ECs largely left standing; no more applications under the 2017 route. If Delhi wants a backdoor, it needs a law door.
YSRCP takes the Mega DSC-2025 fight to the streets; the TDP government says all is spotless. The court record says at least the merit math wasn’t.
Andhra’s TDP government waves off DSC-2025 allegations as “false propaganda” and threatens cases. What it has not shown Telangana — or its own candidates — is the independent order that actually settles them.
HMWSSB scheduled a one-day shutdown on the 1,600‑mm Krishna main at Uppal from 10 am July 27 to 10 am July 28. The work was “as per schedule”, the Board said — but it has not published a completion or full-restoration note.
AICC huddled Telangana Congress in Delhi on July 27 over infighting and discipline, and fixed a coordination meet for July 29. A Telugu report claims Mallikarjun Kharge rebuffed a “report” from CM Revanth Reddy — an allegation no one on record has confirmed.
Revanth Reddy says Telangana will push to cut the candidacy age for MLAs/MPs from 25 to 21. The Constitution still says 25. The BJP-led Centre hasn’t stirred.
Telangana High Court has put the Assembly Speaker and seven MLAs on the clock over petitions saying they ditched BRS for the Congress. The Congress-run government’s poster boys are now respondents — and the court wants counters, not shawls.
After a no-show on July 24, the makers now say the trailer lands worldwide at Brahma Muhurat on July 30. The film targets Diwali 2026 for Part 1.
BCCI names India’s Test squad for Sri Lanka. Two picks need fitness clearance; practice game starts August 7 in Colombo.
BJP yells “₹100-crore land scam” at the Congress president’s family in Karnataka. The only paper on the table? A 2024 letter surrendering the land. The finding they forgot to bring is still outstanding.
Romantic thriller announces a July 31 theatrical date; Sunil unveiled the trailer, Dil Raju launched the teaser. All of this is from the publicity trail — exhibition listings are the part that matters next.
High Court gave Danam and Bandla a ‘last indulgence’ two weeks ago. Telangana still waits while Congress gains from limbo.
BRS takes its jobs fight to Saroornagar. Congress waves a big number. The court had to tell Hyderabad Police to let the meeting happen.
Delhi’s Congress managers are back on Telangana’s case — one-on-ones with ministers mid-July, then a “mid-term review” a week later. Coordination problems, dissent and fund delays are the chorus. The BJP offers zero help; the TDP offers lectures. Telangana needs delivery, not Delhi therapy sessions.
A reported interim order tells HYDRAA to take down a ‘government land’ signboard from a Sahebnagar Kalan residential plot and not touch possession without due process. The court’s exact order wasn’t available; this rests on one report.
PTI says India’s first men’s 10,000m Commonwealth medal comes in 27:49.78. Official pages are catching up, as usual.
Two Indian boxers are into CWG 2026 semifinals and assured of bronze. A third, Jadumani, is reported through — awaiting official confirmation.
