Telangana High Court has stayed further payments under Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak till the next hearing, on a petition questioning the schemes’ legal footing. The Congress government now has to defend a flagship welfare promise it said it would keep.
H-FAST and Food Safety hit 130 units in one day. Lab results now decide how much of that “ghee” was actually ghee — a sentence that shouldn’t need saying in 2026.
Telangana High Court on 4 August told the state to put full facts on record on delayed minimum-wage revision for 73 employments, and listed it for 20 August. What happened on 20 August isn’t on the record yet — and until it is, the noise stays noise.
Congress’s Telangana unit reportedly hauls up its own minister over her daughter’s Parkal challenge — while the Chief Minister it serves hasn’t answered the charge she laid at his door.
Harish Rao alleges 30% ‘commission’ to clear 22A bans; the Congress government in Telangana admits private owners were hit by errors, promises fixes. The numbers and the paper trail are the test — not another assurance.
Warangal’s AYUSH house surgeons and PGs want the stipend parity a Telangana High Court already said exists on paper. The Congress government has yet to show the paper.
A field report says “around 45 houses” in Dandupalli rely on stream water, kerosene lamps and a cot for an ambulance. Official records first disagree on the district. Then go silent.

Konda Sushmitha says she’ll fight from Parkal — with or without a Congress ticket — and dares the Chief Minister to make his MLA resign now and campaign against her. The Congress family photo keeps blinking.
Narsampet municipal staff tore down a plinth built for former MLA and BRS leader Peddi Sudarshan Reddy’s statue in the middle of the night. By morning, BRS was on the road asking why permissions appear to matter only when the Congress is in office.
Hyderabad district has moved the Paradise–Shamirpet elevated corridor one statutory step forward with Form VII declarations. It’s land acquisition, not bulldozers — yet.
BRS leaders say Hyderabad police stopped them from visiting the just-inaugurated Sanathnagar TIMS, while the gate carried a notice pausing inpatient admissions for “sanitation”. The BJP and TDP are busy elsewhere; the Congress government had time to cut a ribbon and guard a door.
A single report says a Bhavnagar government hospital billed for a 2.55-lakh-litre underground water tank that the Gujarat Health Minister allegedly could not find. Orders were reportedly issued to suspend two engineers and act against a Surat contractor. The records that would prove any of this are not public in the material reviewed.
