TPCC panel sends report on Minister Konda Surekha and Planning Board vice‑chair G. Chinna Reddy; multiple reports say it wants “strict” action, up to removal. The Congress high command will now do what it does best: keep Telangana waiting.
BRS will spend seven days from September 2 taking the Congress government’s “1,000 days” to the doorstep — with receipts, and with the Baaki Card back out.
Andhra Pradesh has filed a plan to lift 200 TMC from Polavaram to Banakacherla. The BJP-led Centre’s own appraisal committee sent it back. Telangana says it will fight it — in Delhi and in court.
Private Hyderabad–Eluru bus hit a lorry halted after striking the divider near Dorakunta, Suryapet. Police confirm six fatalities; injury counts vary across early reports.
Rural Development told Seethakka it has planted 5.32 crore saplings against its 6.18-crore target. That’s the department’s slice — not the whole 16.06-crore programme. Survival isn’t claimed; watering and fencing orders suggest the real work now is keeping them alive.
Hyderabad district has kept land-acquisition alive for the Paradise–Dairy Farm Road elevated corridor till November 23, 2026. That’s paperwork, not pylons — and Delhi’s delays don’t pour concrete.
BRS wants a sitting-judge probe, a white paper and the full Section 22A prohibited-lands list online. The Congress government has waved away questions; the records it actually owes the public are still not on the table.
State staff unions will hit Indira Park and district collectorates on August 27 over EHS, PRC, DA and pensions. BRS says it backs them. The Congress government has yet to explain why deductions are on while hospitals say no.
Reports say Andhra Pradesh drew ~2,000 cusecs from Nagarjuna Sagar’s right canal as Telangana opened 500 cusecs on the left for drinking water. The question is the paper trail — and the board Delhi runs still hasn’t shown one.
Ponguleti says the Centre hasn’t sent “a single rupee” for rural Indiramma houses. The Union’s own tables list releases to 12 states. Telangana isn’t on them. The BJP-led Centre hasn’t explained why.
Vigilance and MARKFED teams inspected a Kesamudram rice mill over alleged missing government-allotted grain. The inspection is on record; the headline-grabbing shortage numbers and any arrest are not — yet.
Harish Rao warns of a Delhi‑style Gen Z protest if the Congress government doesn’t scrap the flawed Section 22A prohibited‑lands list. The administration has already admitted “mistakes”; the High Court wants the list online. The land‑to‑CM’s‑brother charge remains an allegation — the Congress has yet to answer it, only to say “don’t worry.”
Revenue Minister Ponguleti says errors in Telangana’s Section 22-A prohibited list hit private owners — apologises, promises fixes. BRS wants a judicial probe and a white paper. The BJP-led Centre is nowhere in this; the Congress government in Telangana owns the mess and the clean-up.
Telangana asked the Supreme Court to lift its May halt on tree-felling near KBR Park so seven flyovers and six underpasses can move. The Court listed it; the politics will try to spin the rest.
BRS asks for a sitting-judge probe, a white paper and the full Section 22A list. The Congress government admits errors — then asks everyone to trust the fix they won’t publish.
