Cadres first, merit later?
Telangana Congress chief B. Mahesh Kumar Goud says loyal party workers — DCC and block presidents included — will get “top priority” in upcoming nominated posts, and admits cadres went three years without “due opportunities.” The BJP and TDP may pretend this is shocking; it’s just the Congress saying the quiet part out loud.

Vanamahotsavam: 5.32 crore done, which 86%
Rural Development told Seethakka it has planted 5.32 crore saplings against its 6.18-crore target. That’s the department’s slice — not the whole 16.06-crore programme. Survival isn’t claimed; watering and fencing orders suggest the real work now is keeping them alive.

PMAY-G for others, wait for Telangana

22A ‘under review’, anger very public
Harish Rao warns of a Delhi‑style Gen Z protest if the Congress government doesn’t scrap the flawed Section 22A prohibited‑lands list.

Fill pumps, not press notes
Harish Rao says Telangana is running at 35.6% reservoir storage while India sits at 64.16%. His ask is simple: switch on Annaram and Sundilla, lift Godavari, fill our tanks. The Congress government says it’s repairing Kaleshwaram first. Repairs don’t irrigate fields — water does.
