A minister’s daughter questioned A Revanth Reddy and staked claim to Parkal; the Congress answered by hauling up the minister. The ticket fight is wide open. The discipline isn’t.
Analysis
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.

The BJP‑led Centre has plenty of slogans for textile revival; the paperwork can start with consistent figures.
