Revanth tops ADR list; ‘Suvendu CM’ isn’t

22‑A mess: fix promised, receipts pending
Telangana’s prohibited‑properties list has errors the government now says it will correct. The legal basis exists, the portal exists — the apology and numbers are, for now, one report’s account.

‘Joined Congress on stage, not in file?’

SIR flags lakhs; draft, not deletions
Hyderabad’s “anomalies” stack up in the draft voter roll under the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision. That’s a verification queue, not a purge — and the timeline to fix errors is on the ECI’s own calendar, not a party’s slogan.

Nalgonda polytechnic students push back
