Raviryala, five acres, seven crore
A report says TGIIC allotted five acres in Raviryala to a small Patancheru-registered firm for ₹7 crore the day after a farmer face‑off. The leap from “allotment” to “cashing out for the CM’s brother” is still an allegation — and needs documents, not innuendo.

A report says BRS leaders and volunteers were held or blocked before Revanth Reddy’s Nagarjunasagar visit. The Congress government in Telangana hasn’t explained why.

Statue base razed at night. Permissions, apparently
BRS says Narsampet municipality bulldozed a pedestal for former MLA Peddi Sudharshan Reddy’s statue on private land, hours before an 11th‑day memorial plan. The official paper trail is missing; the BJP‑led Centre is silent, and the Congress in Telangana suddenly loves due process after dark.

Nalgonda’s ‘missing’ votes: maths first

Analysis
Final ₹1 lakh stuck. Centre, your move
Indiramma Indlu promised ₹5 lakh per family. Reports from multiple districts say completed homes are waiting on the last ₹1 lakh. The BJP-led Centre’s share is the alibi; the paper trail isn’t public. Telangana’s families are, conspicuously, not the priority in Delhi’s queue.
Analysis
Jagtial mills, big holes, few documents
A report says inspections found Rs 135 crore worth of paddy “missing” across four Jagtial mills and flags a wider Rs 1,800 crore risk. The paperwork behind those claims isn’t public.

A reported group from NALSAR’s 2026 batch has asked the university to rethink Justice Surya Kant as a possible convocation chief guest, citing his May “cockroaches” controversy and a July 22 exchange over student protests. The university hasn’t announced the date, the guest or the letter.
News
SIR forms: last call, or just noise?
