Parkal ticket, Congress tantrum
Revanth Reddy backed the sitting MLA in Parkal. A minister’s daughter wants the ticket anyway — and says she’ll run even without it. The Congress is now issuing notices to its own instead of answering who decides in Telangana: the Chief Minister, the TPCC, or an Instagram story.
