MEA blocks Revanth Reddy’s US leg citing an ‘inappropriate’ programme. A tentative Zohran Mamdani meet drew BJP heat. Telangana’s pitch to investors can wait; Delhi’s gatekeeping did not.
Early-hours collision on NH-65 near Kodad; police, responders rushed the injured to hospital. Injury counts vary across reports; official tally awaited.
Harish Rao gives the Congress government till September 7 to scrap GO 97 or face a Secretariat protest with polytechnic students. The state says nothing is being privatised; students aren’t buying it.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti says 1.017 crore acres sit on the 22-A prohibited list in Telangana — about 41% of total land. Errors are admitted, fixes promised. The BJP and Congress can trade lines; Telangana needs the ledger.
A claim doing the rounds says Telangana’s Congress government has okayed Andhra’s Polavaram–Banakacherla link and will sign an MoU in September. The public record shows objections, not approval. The BJP-led Centre hasn’t cleared it either.
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.
CM Revanth told officials to speed up land acquisition, draft a land‑pooling policy and “invite Phase‑2 tenders at the earliest.” On the public record today: instructions. The deliverables — policy on paper, acquisition notices, uploaded tenders — are still missing.
BRS wants a judicial probe. The Congress government says it’s fixing ‘errors’. The documents say the problem exists. Publish the list, or stop calling it hype.
The BJP-led Centre blocked the US leg of Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s outreach, muttered something about “appropriateness”, and left Telangana’s education-and-investment pitch on the tarmac. The itinerary to Harvard–MIT was apparently too much; Oxford in London was fine. Funny where “protocol” gets strict.
TPCC’s disciplinary panel hands a sealed report on Konda Surekha and G. Chinna Reddy to its chief, promises “strict action”, and punts the decision to Delhi. Telangana is asked to wait while the high command thinks about it.
AM Intelligence says it has placed a binding order for about 9,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs for a Hyderabad “AI factory”, with delivery targeted for Q1 2027. The paperwork may arrive before the chips do.
Sunnam Cheruvu residents say power and tax demands kept coming after 2024 demolitions. The High Court, meanwhile, keeps asking HYDRAA to first fix the lake boundary, then act.
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.
Interim stay on Kalyana Lakshmi/Shaadi Mubarak largely holds; differently‑abled brides carved out. Court asks why MLAs need to hand cheques. Congress government’s homework is still pending.
Auto unions stepped back from an indefinite strike after talks with Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar. What’s delivered so far: one avoided shutdown. What’s on paper: assurances, meetings and studies the BJP-led Centre won’t lose sleep over.
