YSRCP is on the streets over Andhra Pradesh’s Mega DSC-2025. The TDP government says all clean. The paper trail so far? Exam dates, lists and a lot of noise — not proof. Telangana has seen this movie: when Delhi- or Amaravati-first politics fumble jobs, our people pay.
Two reports say BRS’s Harish Rao was stopped at home before he could meet Warangal polytechnic students protesting the Congress government’s GO 97. No police order shown, just a convenient lock on the door.

Telangana BJP plans Sep 5–6 protests alleging a “lakhs of crores” 22-A land scam. The Congress government admits clerical errors and promises fixes; an actual scam figure remains a BJP slogan, not a record.
BRS wants a sitting-judge probe, a white paper and the Revenue Minister sacked. The Congress government admits mistakes, promises fixes, and hopes that is the end of it.
Telangana’s election office is taking the draft rolls to every booth on August 27, reading names aloud and fixing mistakes on the spot. After weeks of noise, here’s the part where voters actually get put back in.
Cinemark listed Toxic (Telugu with English Subtitles) from August 26 across multiple US locations. A worldwide date the makers promised actually showed up on screens — minus the usual chest-thumping collections theatre.
The BJP-led Centre cleared Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s UK leg, then blocked the US leg citing “appropriateness”. It still won’t say what, exactly, was inappropriate. Telangana asked for investment and university tie-ups; Delhi offered a shrug.
As KRMB kicked the can to September 4, Andhra Pradesh opened Nagarjuna Sagar’s Right Canal. Telangana opened the Left to match. Harish Rao says AP is bypassing approvals; AP officials say KRMB okayed it. The KRMB paper that settles it is still missing.
Training pause hits immigrant-visa interviews worldwide, say reports. Student and work visas are not shown as halted. Telangana families in the queue face fresh uncertainty while Washington drills its officers on “public charge”.
Trailer out, September 4 date set. Apsaras on Earth, comedy on home turf — without a Delhi sermon in sight.
Telangana’s Human Rights Commission has reportedly told the School Education Department to collect district-wise infrastructure reports and file action details within six months of receiving the order. The order and the four cited district reports aren’t public in the sources reviewed.
TPCC panel sends report on Minister Konda Surekha and Planning Board vice‑chair G. Chinna Reddy; multiple reports say it wants “strict” action, up to removal. The Congress high command will now do what it does best: keep Telangana waiting.
BRS will spend seven days from September 2 taking the Congress government’s “1,000 days” to the doorstep — with receipts, and with the Baaki Card back out.
Andhra teachers say the film drags government schools by name and uniform. The makers haven’t answered yet; the trade is busy counting crores nobody can audit.
Andhra Pradesh has filed a plan to lift 200 TMC from Polavaram to Banakacherla. The BJP-led Centre’s own appraisal committee sent it back. Telangana says it will fight it — in Delhi and in court.
Private Hyderabad–Eluru bus hit a lorry halted after striking the divider near Dorakunta, Suryapet. Police confirm six fatalities; injury counts vary across early reports.
Photos doing the rounds claim Group-III question papers turned up as snack plates. The exam happened; the plates story rests on one report so far.
The Congress government in Karnataka brought B Nagendra back to cabinet. The ED’s case calling him the “primary accused” in the Valmiki Corporation diversion is still on the court’s docket. “Not convicted yet” is not an answer; it’s an evasion.
ED says an ex-Andhra minister’s family rode a liquor-transport tender all the way to luxury assets and ‘political funding’. Telangana’s concern is simple: when the neighbouring Congress-BJP-TDP circus treats state contracts like ATMs, the spillover hits this side of the border too.
