‘24-hour power’ meets 12-hour maths
The Congress government says farm power is 24 hours. BRS leaders say farmers are getting 10–12. The record shows one thing clearly: the 24-hour promise is on paper; the 12-hour claim isn’t on file.

Paradise date: pick a card
BookMyShow says Sept 24. AMC says Aug 21. The makers last said Aug 21 in May. An “official website” turns out to be a fan page. Telangana audiences get a calendar, not a confirmation.
