BJP’s latest ‘land scam’ at Karnataka’s Aerospace Park forgets one line from the state’s own record: the five-acre allotment to Siddhartha Vihar Trust was surrendered on 20 September 2024. That’s not a loot; that’s a return.
A report says tickets across 4,000+ screens will be ₹99 on September 20 with ‘classics to new releases’. The copy also says ‘this Friday’. September 20, 2026 is a Sunday. Pick one, MAI — and post the actual announcement.
Justice Jukanti Anil Kumar has told the Telangana government to replace HYDRAA commissioner A.V. Ranganath amid contempt proceedings linked to a 40-acre Lothkunta land dispute. BRS called it a slap for the Congress government; the state hasn’t bothered to explain what HYDRAA was doing on a court-protected site.
Telangana’s CM says he’ll call a special Assembly in the first week of August to back 21-year-olds contesting. The law sits in Delhi — which suddenly gets shy when youth power isn’t just a slogan.
Monsoon season set for July 27–Oct 30 with 25 meetings; HRC advertises Rs 13.63 crore in prizes. The BJP-led Centre’s online-gaming law is on the books; the club says GST hikes and a forced online shutdown have hurt betting — their claim, their numbers to show.
Skyroot’s Vikram‑1 reaches LEO from Sriharikota, the first Indian private orbital launch — built in Hyderabad, flown on July 18 at 12:05:30 pm. Telangana’s space lane is open; the national parties can fight over credit later.
Congress promised ₹12,000 a year to every auto driver and a welfare board. Drivers are still asking where either is. The BJP isn’t the answer; the file is in the Congress government’s own drawer.
Krishna inflows reached Jurala and lifts to Nettempadu, Bhima and Koilsagar have begun. Farmers want canal releases; field officials say they’re waiting for higher-ups. Meanwhile, the flow heads to Srisailam — and the BJP-run Centre and the Congress in Telangana can both explain later why “later” is always the season here.
Sharmila Dhankar wins women’s F57 shot put gold at Glasgow 2026 with 9.81m — India’s first-ever Commonwealth Games para-athletics gold. Shilpa K Shyla takes bronze after review; Valluri Ajaya Babu lifts weightlifting silver in men’s 79kg.

Telangana rolls out a digital Family Register to standardise proof of family composition. The BJP calls it an “illegal vote-bank shield” during SIR — without showing a petition, a clause or a single name. The ECI, meanwhile, already lists a government family register as an indicative SIR document.
Revanth Reddy asked the BJP-led Centre for 11.56 lakh PMAY-G rural houses and to fold Indiramma works into the new VB-G RAM-G jobs framework. The Union government has not produced a sanction, a fund release or a timeline.
Telangana BJP chief N. Ramchander Rao alleged Congress, BRS and AIMIM ‘sheltered illegal vote banks’ and called the state’s Family Register ‘completely illegal’, tying it to the Election Commission’s SIR roll scrutiny. The evidence he offered: a post. The ECI’s own note defines SIR as an electoral-roll exercise; the state’s card plan is for welfare delivery.
