A Reddit headline sold a High Court “stay” on Telangana’s marriage-aid schemes. The July hearing record shows notices, a four-week timeline for the state’s counter, and an adjournment — not a stay.
A report quotes Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy telling youth at a Parakala meeting that police cases from protests — and “false facts” on social media — could cost them government jobs. The rule that would do this was not identified.
At a Mulugu rally, the Congress Chief Minister alleged KTR “pushed” K Kavitha out of the family home over property. The claim rests on one PTI-circulated quote — no document, case or video surfaced to back it.
A report says BRS-backed farmers blocked the road in Bachannapet, Jangaon, demanding Godavari water. The Congress government is still “reviewing”.
A report says Telangana merged food safety and drug control into one authority called TG SAFE. The order it cites is missing from the record. Until the Health Department puts GO 67 on the table, this is a claim, not a reform.
Congress sold Ambedkar Abhaya Hastham as Rs 12 lakh assistance. The state’s own document talks of a pilot for 11,900 SC families. Meanwhile, Rs 1,000 crore sits on the Dalit Bandhu line for 2025–26. The BJP is nowhere in this; the TDP never was. Telangana can read a promise and a ledger; they don’t match.
Telangana High Court has told the government to stop sitting on fishermen’s cooperative elections and start the process under law. That’s the court doing basic governance while the Congress-run state finds new ways to delay a vote it doesn’t control.
UCF’s India Center lists NIMS Hyderabad’s Dr Thirumal Yerragunta as its Scientist in Residence and billed him for an August 11 talk in Orlando. Telangana skill travels; Delhi’s credit-hunters can sit this one out.
Two Hyderabad leases on record, AI and product teams growing. The rest of the big claims need a source — preferably not a speech retold twice.
Prashanth Reddy set Independence Day as the finish line for four Bheemgal projects. The Congress government had a month. The paper trail showing delivery did not turn up.
A viral post says Telangana just slapped a fire tax on Hyderabad. The law allows it — but there’s no notification, no rate, no date, and no paper trail in the state’s own records.
KRMB’s three-member committee has handled short-term releases before. The larger Krishna allocation fight is still unresolved — and Andhra Pradesh’s latest ask is being talked up without the documents to back it.
CPI(M)’s John Wesley alleged a plan to cancel 73 lakh Telangana votes during the ongoing roll revision. The figure is unbacked by documents; the BJP-led Centre and Congress-run state are owed answers, not silence.
CPM keeps protesting, officials promised proceedings, and the numbers don’t match. The BJP-led Centre has nothing to do with delivering Telangana’s housing, and the Congress running Nalgonda still needs to show its homework.
A calendar had Telugu cine Twitter braced for a seven-film pile‑up on August 14. The actual list looks thinner — and the data behind it, thinner still.
