Show the CWPRS report, or stop stalling
BRS says a CWPRS study clears Kaleshwaram barrages. The Congress government in Telangana hasn’t shown the document or filled a drop. Either publish the report and switch on Kannepalli, or admit the delay is politics dressed as “procedure.”
Analysis
Congress sings, then stumbles
Two stanzas in Delhi, silence in Thiruvananthapuram. The BJP got a fresh culture-war chew toy; Congress handed it over gift-wrapped.
Analysis
Twelve Bills, nine speeches: that’s “debate” now
The BJP-led Centre calls the Monsoon Session a win. The record says 15% Lok Sabha time, nine Bills rushed without a single MP speaking beyond the minister, and a mines law that tightens Delhi’s fist on state revenues. Telangana is supposed to clap for this?
Analysis
BJP’s math changes, Congress’s dues don’t
Telangana BJP is on a two-day hunger strike over fee-reimbursement arrears. The figures swing from Rs 8,000 crore to Rs 12,000 crore depending on the mic. One thing that doesn’t change: a Congress government order that admits the liability exists and must be paid.
Analysis
Karnataka’s ‘clean’ Cabinet adds a bail order
BJP-JD(S) marched in Bengaluru to oust B. Nagendra. The Congress government in Karnataka re-inducted him on August 3 — while ED/CBI cases continue and courts are still setting his travel terms.
Analysis
BJP blocks US leg, calls it “protocol”
UK cleared, US denied. Telangana’s CM was already in London when the BJP-led Centre pulled the plug on the American leg — for being “inappropriate to the office and purpose”, says the MEA. Telangana calls it political. The BJP swears it isn’t. Sure.
Analysis
Box-office ‘verdicts’, fine print optional
A Tollywood tracker presents estimates as settled numbers, stamps films “Flop” and “Losing” on its own parameters — and says, in the small print, it hasn’t verified the figures.
Analysis
Irumudi’s “opening” moves, the number doesn’t
A tracker’s Day 1 figure for Shiva Nirvana’s Irumudi has changed mid-run. The film released August 21; the “₹7.94 crore opening” doing the rounds isn’t on the page now, and no producer or distributor has put a number on the record.

Dil Raju floats a Yash Telugu plan
At Toxic’s Hyderabad event, the producer said he’s up for a Telugu film with Yash. It’s interest, not an announcement — and the calendar is Yash’s, not his.

Zombies back, hype to Nxt Lvl
People Media Factory marks Teja Sajja’s birthday with a sequel announcement, seven-language ambitions and a 2027 date circled in pencil.
Analysis
22A errors, BRS heat, Congress hush
Harish Rao says withdraw the “22A” prohibited list or the Assembly stops. The BJP-led Centre wrote the rulebook; the Congress government in Telangana is now hiding behind it and tripping citizens anyway. The portal itself admits whole survey numbers got blocked by mistake — but the fixes are still a press line, not a dataset.
Analysis
CWPRS says ‘decide’; Congress says ‘case closed’
Jagadish Reddy says CWPRS cleared Annaram and Sundilla, exposing a Congress–BJP hit on Kaleshwaram. The CWPRS paper in public view does not say that — it flags low-velocity zones at Sundilla and leaves the “store water or not” call to the authority. The BJP-led Centre’s own report shows NDSA is very real, not a “bogey”. So who’s spinning whom?
News
Irumudi’s numbers arrive before the audit
Ravi Teja’s Irumudi is touting North America pre-sales and week-one milestones. They’re claims — with authors — not audited accounts.

K’taka blocks House, wants applause
Five straight days of Karnataka’s Assembly in limbo over Congress minister B. Nagendra’s reinduction — while drought, water and money Karnataka says it needs from Delhi wait their turn.

Irumudi clocks $125k pre-sales; receipts pending
Trade says Ravi Teja’s Irumudi raced past $125,000 in North America pre-sales before its August 21 release — with earlier $50k and $25k snapshots doing the rounds a day apart. The ‘best-ever overseas pre-sales’ claim remains just that: a claim.
Analysis
Vande Mataram, now with lip‑reading
The BJP turned a 10‑second clip at Congress HQ into mind‑reading. Congress says it was a “communication issue”. The archive says their two‑stanza stance is 89 years old. None of it proves motive — which hasn’t stopped Delhi’s outrage factory from filing a police complaint anyway.
Analysis
Ticket caps, plenty of spin
Reports say Telangana has recast cinema ticket slabs statewide. The Congress-led state government hasn’t published the order where anyone can see it. Until it does, the noise — including the scare about single screens — is just that: noise.
Analysis
22A list bloats, fix promised in 2 days
A Section 22A mess the state admits exists; Telangana’s asking for documents, not drama. The BJP–Congress chorus can keep yelling — the remedy is sub-numbers, scrutiny and registrations, not brokers and TV.
News
Ravi Teja brings the crowd; rest queue
Several Telugu titles — led by Ravi Teja’s Irumudi — were listed to hit theatres on August 21. The databases agree on the date; what they don’t offer is the usual PR math. Which, frankly, is refreshing.
