Telangana High Court questioned why MLAs need to hand out welfare cheques; Kalyana Lakshmi aid for differently abled girls reportedly spared from stay. The BJP-Congress-TDP selfie economy took a hit; the law still wants a receipt.
Unions scrap planned indefinite strike after meeting Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar. Welfare board promised; fares, EV push and a state-backed app move to the “committee” pile.
Harish Rao says NDSA cleared the way to lift water and CWPRS found no structural problems. The documents we can read say something else — and the Congress government in Telangana still hasn’t bothered to explain its own stand.
MEA cleared Revanth Reddy’s UK stop but blocked his US tour as “not appropriate to the office or purpose.” Gujarat’s BJP Chief Minister toured the US-Canada the same week. Telangana calls it discrimination; the BJP throws procedural mud without documents.
Ravi Teja’s new film premiered a day early in North America. Trade reports say the diaspora showed up; audited numbers, as usual, did not.
Telangana BJP can’t keep its arrears math straight. The government says the annual requirement is ₹2,200–₹2,400 crore and has moved fee aid to DBT; the BJP is shouting two different totals in two days and won’t show its sheet.
KTR called out Rahul Gandhi for marching with Delhi’s students while saying nothing about Telangana students manhandled in Mahabubabad. The Delhi part is on Congress’s own site. So is the Telangana video — and the SP benched the cop. The silence is all Rahul’s.
DHS wants a $103,265 fee on every cap‑subject H‑1B petition — on top of existing charges. It’s a proposal, not a bill yet. India supplies most H‑1B talent; Hyderabadi teams will be doing the math.
A report says 76,000 acres in Hanamkonda–Jangaon are on the prohibited list. The paperwork that would prove it is still missing; the roadblock for buyers and sellers is not.
A report alleges touts are cold-calling Indiramma Towers applicants with offers to “fix” the lottery for money. No names, no FIRs, no receipts yet — just the promise that rules bend when the Congress is in power.
Rudrangi’s podu-land farmers lined up at the Rythu Vedika and said the urea booking app shut them out. Local officials reportedly blamed eligibility rules tied to a Central app. Telangana’s farmers, once again, meet Delhi’s fine print before they meet fertiliser.
Private owners got blocked, ministers admit “lapses”, promise fixes. Collusion? Commissions? The Congress govt says none. Telangana can count the complaints — 757 of them — faster than it can get a straight answer.
KTR sets a week-long protest from September 2 to mark the Congress government’s 1,000 days — with a ledger of promises versus delivery. The six guarantees are on the record; the gaps are too.
Polytechnic students and staff across Telangana want one simple thing on GO 97 — the order itself, and what it does, in writing. The Congress government’s answers so far are assurances without the document. Protests have spread; the minister says it’s “administrative”. Pick one, and publish it.
KTR kicks off a seven‑day Samara Bheri from September 2, constituency to constituency, aimed at the Congress government’s record — promises, fee dues and the gap between the two.
MEA okayed Revanth Reddy’s UK leg and blocked his US stop, without naming what, exactly, was “inappropriate”. Telangana calls it discrimination; the BJP says it’s just procedure. The mystery item on the itinerary remains classified, apparently from Telangana too.
Reports say Telangana has junked location-based cinema pricing for theatre-based slabs, capped recliners at ₹300 and kept 25% seats non‑premium. The actual G.O.Ms.No.77 isn’t on the record yet.
Ravi Teja’s new release is off to a solid start abroad, according to trade tracking — with no audited producer or distributor statement yet in public.
Andhra Pradesh pitched 47 TMC from Krishna by October — including 22 TMC via Pothireddypadu — and the KRMB kicked the can to September 4. Telangana asked for a 50:50 split; AP clung to 66:34. The BJP-led Centre’s KRMB has paperwork, just not in public yet.
BRS says a CWPRS study clears Kaleshwaram barrages. The Congress government in Telangana hasn’t shown the document or filled a drop. Either publish the report and switch on Kannepalli, or admit the delay is politics dressed as “procedure.”
