BJP and Congress groups clashed across Hyderabad and Nalgonda, while Telangana BJP chief N. Ramchander Rao was reportedly stopped from travelling to the district. The police record remains remarkably shy.
The BRS working president said he would lead a Kodad–Halia padayatra if the Telangana government does not publish a Nagarjuna Sagar Left Canal release schedule.
The Telangana BJP chief was stopped from travelling to Nalgonda after clashes involving Congress and BJP workers. The legal basis and case details remain unpublished.
Nalgonda police denied the BRS procession through town but permitted a 3 p.m. protest at the NSP Camp Ground on Thursday, September 3. The party is demanding water for the Nagarjuna Sagar Left Canal.
Police rejected the BRS procession and Rajiv Chowk meeting over traffic and law-and-order concerns, then approved a dharna at the NSP camp ground. The roadblock, apparently, was the route.
N. Ramchander Rao was placed under house arrest before travelling to meet BJP district president Nagam Varshit Reddy; the party has sought a DGP probe into alleged attacks.
At a Munugode YSR anniversary event, the Congress MLA entertained “CM” slogans and said even Brahma could not stop him if the time came.
N. Ramchander Rao was prevented from travelling to Nalgonda, where he planned to visit the BJP district president. The alleged attack that prompted the visit remains unverified by police records.
Police cited congestion and law-and-order concerns in refusing permission for the BRS farmers’ rally planned for September 3. The party says it will proceed; that remains unconfirmed.
A report says Nalgonda polytechnic students confronted Komatireddy Venkat Reddy over the SHAKTI merger, fearing their diplomas and ECET route could be diluted. The government says nothing changes. The order itself is still not public here.
Students and SFI rallied in Nalgonda against a plan the Telangana government floated in 2024 to bring polytechnics under Young India Skill University. Two years on, SBTET still runs 2026 admissions — the change, if any, isn’t on paper yet.
A Bhupalpally journalist says Congress functionaries beat him at home for his reporting. The BJP and TDP have nothing to say, and the sitting Congress MLA has not bothered to answer the allegation that it happened with his backing.
