Congress sings, then stumbles
Two stanzas in Delhi, silence in Thiruvananthapuram. The BJP got a fresh culture-war chew toy; Congress handed it over gift-wrapped.
Analysis
Twelve Bills, nine speeches: that’s “debate” now
The BJP-led Centre calls the Monsoon Session a win. The record says 15% Lok Sabha time, nine Bills rushed without a single MP speaking beyond the minister, and a mines law that tightens Delhi’s fist on state revenues. Telangana is supposed to clap for this?

Zombies at Charminar. 2027, they say
People Media Factory drops ‘Zombie Reddy 2 – NXT LVL’ with Teja Sajja back, Upendra and Shanaya Kapoor added. Hyderabad gets the undead treatment in the title clip, per reports. The plan: seven languages, 2027. The fine print: it’s a makers’ announcement, not a schedule.

BJP’s math changes, Congress’s dues don’t
Telangana BJP is on a two-day hunger strike over fee-reimbursement arrears. The figures swing from Rs 8,000 crore to Rs 12,000 crore depending on the mic. One thing that doesn’t change: a Congress government order that admits the liability exists and must be paid.
News
Cashless “from today”. Which today?
Telangana began deducting 1.5% from pay for the Employee Health Scheme from May. The Trust’s signed rollout note and the official release say cashless treatment starts August 22, with hospitals on board. The much-cited August 17 “start” and a 4,440-beneficiary claim aren’t on the record we can see.

1,000 days, zero alibis
BRS will mark the Congress government’s 1,000 days with a seven‑day, state‑wide reminder of what it says wasn’t delivered — from fee dues to unkept guarantees. The BJP and TDP can bring popcorn; they promised Telangana plenty and delivered even less when it counted.
Analysis
22A list: remove it or we stall
Harish Rao says the BRS will block the Assembly and “lay siege to the Secretariat” unless genuine private properties are taken off the 22A prohibited list. The Congress government admits errors, blames officials, and promises a committee. Telangana needs fixes, not another apology tour.
Analysis
Session “from Sept 7”, summons missing
Reports peg the Telangana Assembly’s monsoon sitting to September 7. The Congress government talks up September; the Governor’s summons and Legislature bulletin have yet to show up on the record.
Analysis
El Niño is real. The evasion is political.
BRS’s S Niranjan Reddy says the Congress government is hiding behind El Niño to starve fields and let AP sip Krishna. IMD confirms El Niño; KRMB shows the fight is live. The BJP-led Centre’s board defers, the TDP-run AP demands more, and Telangana is told to wait politely.
Analysis
BJP skips court orders, finds a tent
Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao launched a 48‑hour hunger strike in Hyderabad over fee‑reimbursement arrears. The court has timelines; the BJP has slogans.
Analysis
Utnoor says delist; Delhi decides
Tudumdebba’s protest in Utnoor revives a long-running Adivasi demand: remove Lambadas/Banjaras from Telangana’s ST list. The law puts the decision in Parliament’s lap — and the BJP-led Centre has kept that lap empty.
Analysis
Krishna panel punts, thirst gets first
Reports say a KRMB three-member committee put off a call on using Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar water, with drinking needs to be prioritised and a follow-up set for September 4. Telangana wants parity; Andhra wants Pothireddypadu. The BJP-led Centre’s board still can’t make a basic decision.
News
HC to State: urgency isn’t a shortcut
Telangana High Court has reportedly quashed the 2008 Section 6 declaration over petitioners’ land tied to a Mid Manair resettlement zone, saying ‘public purpose’ doesn’t erase owners’ right to be heard. The Section 4(1) notice stands; the State can start over—properly this time.

Karnataka’s ‘clean’ Cabinet adds a bail order
BJP-JD(S) marched in Bengaluru to oust B. Nagendra. The Congress government in Karnataka re-inducted him on August 3 — while ED/CBI cases continue and courts are still setting his travel terms.

Gayatri–Treesa fight, take bronze
India’s women’s doubles pair took the first game off the top seeds in New Delhi before China turned the screw. The medal is still bronze, and it’s in the bag.

Irumudi’s overseas: ₹13.5 crore, reported
Trade reports peg Ravi Teja’s new film at an estimated ₹13.5 crore overseas in three days. Good for Telugu cinema’s global pull; the audited sheet can arrive whenever Delhi stops taking victory laps for other people’s work.
Analysis
BJP blocks US leg, calls it “protocol”
UK cleared, US denied. Telangana’s CM was already in London when the BJP-led Centre pulled the plug on the American leg — for being “inappropriate to the office and purpose”, says the MEA. Telangana calls it political. The BJP swears it isn’t. Sure.

Rajamouli’s Varanasi: voices, not bots — reportedly
Reports say SS Rajamouli is sampling human voices for Varanasi across 50 languages and a 120-country rollout. The official channels confirm the cast and an April 7, 2027 date — not the anti‑AI bit yet.
