The BJP turned a 10‑second clip at Congress HQ into mind‑reading. Congress says it was a “communication issue”. The archive says their two‑stanza stance is 89 years old. None of it proves motive — which hasn’t stopped Delhi’s outrage factory from filing a police complaint anyway.

TGEJAC has reported a state-wide protest plan for August 27, with a Hyderabad ‘mahadharna’ proposed on September 10 if demands aren’t met. One report says the BRS has backed them. The Congress government in Telangana has yet to address the programme on the record.

Reports say Telangana has recast cinema ticket slabs statewide. The Congress-led state government hasn’t published the order where anyone can see it. Until it does, the noise — including the scare about single screens — is just that: noise.
A Section 22A mess the state admits exists; Telangana’s asking for documents, not drama. The BJP–Congress chorus can keep yelling — the remedy is sub-numbers, scrutiny and registrations, not brokers and TV.
The barrage is damaged, the tests are ongoing, and the “all clear” some are touting is not in the public record. The BJP-led Centre’s agencies are still studying; the Congress government in Telangana is still promising. Telangana needs water, not spin from either side.
Two workers died when a seven-storey under-construction building in Anjaiah Nagar, Gachibowli, collapsed around 1 pm on August 22. Civic officials say they had seized the site four months ago; work restarted the day before the collapse.

Telangana High Court has reserved verdict in two petitions over Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender’s disqualification — with September 16 set for judgment. The wider batch of alleged Congress crossovers waits its turn.

Company says Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films will drop at an average of one a week for the rest of 2026. Telugu titles named: Peddi, Ranabaali, Paradise. It’s a corporate plan, not a calendar.

Several Telugu titles — led by Ravi Teja’s Irumudi — were listed to hit theatres on August 21. The databases agree on the date; what they don’t offer is the usual PR math. Which, frankly, is refreshing.
