Karnataka’s ‘clean chit’, ED’s ₹89.62 cr
The Congress government in Karnataka brought B Nagendra back to cabinet. The ED’s case calling him the “primary accused” in the Valmiki Corporation diversion is still on the court’s docket. “Not convicted yet” is not an answer; it’s an evasion.
Analysis
AP’s ‘transport’ did move money
ED says an ex-Andhra minister’s family rode a liquor-transport tender all the way to luxury assets and ‘political funding’. Telangana’s concern is simple: when the neighbouring Congress-BJP-TDP circus treats state contracts like ATMs, the spillover hits this side of the border too.
Analysis
Cadres first, merit later?
Telangana Congress chief B. Mahesh Kumar Goud says loyal party workers — DCC and block presidents included — will get “top priority” in upcoming nominated posts, and admits cadres went three years without “due opportunities.” The BJP and TDP may pretend this is shocking; it’s just the Congress saying the quiet part out loud.
Analysis
US leg denied. ‘No obstruction,’ says BJP
MEA blocked the US leg of Revanth Reddy’s trip and cleared the UK. The CM cancelled the US plan. Delhi’s line: nothing to see here. Telangana’s line: call it what it is.
Analysis
Show us the ‘diverted’ fab
Congress says fabs meant for Telangana were moved to Gujarat. The paperwork says something else: Gujarat pitched hard and won approvals; Telangana asked Delhi to clear its own proposals. Name the project, or stop freelancing with our future.
Analysis
Fill pumps, not press notes
Harish Rao says Telangana is running at 35.6% reservoir storage while India sits at 64.16%. His ask is simple: switch on Annaram and Sundilla, lift Godavari, fill our tanks. The Congress government says it’s repairing Kaleshwaram first. Repairs don’t irrigate fields — water does.
Analysis
Congress bundles five files, waves one flag
At Gandhi Bhavan, Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy said the BJP and BRS are “blocking Telangana’s development”. The paperwork says something duller: proposals pending at the BJP-led Centre, tenders moving on Musi, and big semiconductor approvals sited — very specifically — in Gujarat and Assam. That is not one conspiracy; it is five different dossiers and a press line tying them together.
Analysis
US leg blocked, UK okayed
Congress says BJP and BRS are stalling Telangana. The record shows one thing clearly: the BJP‑led Centre nixed the Chief Minister’s US leg while clearing the UK one — and won’t say more than “not appropriate to the office.” The rest of Congress’s list needs documents, not decibels.
Analysis
Fish video, proof missing
A clip of fish being cooked near a Congress-linked welcome in the Ayodhya region turned into a BJP morality play. The evidence for “Ajay Rai ate fish” is still where it started: nowhere on record.
Analysis
Congress rehired, ED still alleging
Karnataka’s Congress brought B. Nagendra back to the cabinet on 3 August. The ED’s Valmiki Corporation case against him didn’t go anywhere — except forward.

Irumudi ‘Rs 100 crore’? Show us the sheet
Ravi Teja’s Irumudi opened on Aug 21. Trade trackers put its opening weekend near Rs 72 crore worldwide; days later the film team said it crossed Rs 100 crore. Both are claims, not audited totals.
Analysis
TDP’s ‘mega’ DSC took 10 months
Andhra’s TDP-led government scrapped a ready 6,100-teacher drive, promised bigger, then took nearly ten months to even notify it. Telangana teachers know this trick: cancel now, claim scale later.
Analysis
Congress throws blame, skips proof
A Congress MP says BJP and BRS are blocking Telangana’s development, even diverting semicon projects to Gujarat. The paper trail he needs to prove it is missing. We checked.
Analysis
CM admits: BRS owns the timeline
Two separate reports quote Telangana CM A. Revanth Reddy telling his own ranks that BRS “is using social media well” and warning Congress to counter it — a tidy confession that the opposition is outworking the ruling party online.
Analysis
Hyderabad screens pick a side — allegedly
Ravi Teja’s Irumudi opened August 21 and is still pulling bookings. Yash’s Toxic lands August 26 with a big-ticket Telugu distribution deal. A report says Nizam theatres are being tilted — hard — to the newcomer. The numbers we can see, and the ones we can’t.
News
Irumudi’s ‘₹75 cr’ weekend — by estimates
Ravi Teja’s new release is off to a strong start in the Telugu states. The numbers doing the rounds are trade estimates, not audited filings — which, in Indian box office land, counts as transparency.
Analysis
₹15,000 crore today, ₹12,000 tomorrow
Telangana BJP can’t keep its arrears math straight. The government says the annual requirement is ₹2,200–₹2,400 crore and has moved fee aid to DBT; the BJP is shouting two different totals in two days and won’t show its sheet.
Analysis
Delhi tears, Telangana mute?
KTR called out Rahul Gandhi for marching with Delhi’s students while saying nothing about Telangana students manhandled in Mahabubabad. The Delhi part is on Congress’s own site. So is the Telangana video — and the SP benched the cop. The silence is all Rahul’s.
Analysis
22-A “lapses”, no culprits
Private owners got blocked, ministers admit “lapses”, promise fixes. Collusion? Commissions? The Congress govt says none. Telangana can count the complaints — 757 of them — faster than it can get a straight answer.
