Hearing reports of @APPOLICE100 attempting to “arrest” @K_Nageshwar. Any such move against a senior journalist and academic over political analysis would amount to an attack on press freedom & the entire media fraternity. This political intimidation must be questioned. #FreePress

REPOST | As Andhra Pradesh govt lays the foundation stone for Google’s data centre at Tarluvada, read @BhaskarBasava’s report from earlier this year—on Dalit families facing displacement, contested consent, ecological fears, & decades of labour erased. frontline.thehindu.com/science-and-te…

This is serious negligence by the Municipal Administration. The AP Government must stop letting sewage water flowing into the Vizag RK beach too. @PawanKalyan Sir, pls order an inquiry into marine pollution in AP. I have seen it myself. The sewage flows into beaches across the AP. Kindly fix it.

@JSPShatagniTeam What? There is no absolute obligation on a journalist to publicly disclose sources simply because you disagree. More concerning is nature of this post itself. @PawanKalyan repeatedly claimed he stood against uncivil political discourse. Yet this post contradicts what he preached.

You may agree or disagree with Prof. @K_Nageshwar’s views. You have every right to reject them. But using this distasteful language against a professor and senior analyst on an official page crosses the line from disagreement into personal attack!
iTDP Official@iTDP_Official

Watch @YSRCParty manufacture a lie in real time: 1️⃣ Rent a commentator who isn’t even an Andhra voter. 2️⃣ Let him fantasize about a private meeting he never attended. 3️⃣ Dump the clip on their puppet websites. 4️⃣ Launder it into a @Sakshi24x7 “article” No source. No evidence. Nobody in the room. Just venom with a press pass. This is what desperation looks like. @ysjagan's gang didn’t see the @naralokesh - Delhi bond coming, so now they’re cooking fairy tales and praying the alliance cracks. It won’t. This bond was forged through betrayal, exile and a stolen five years. It won’t break for a paid whisper on a dying channel. Keep crying. Keep cooking.. #NDAStaysStrong #AndhraPradesh

Union Minister XXXXX, who secured a gag order from court not to link him with his son’s arrest in a POCSO case, on Wednesday visited the BJP office in Hyderabad where he spoke yet again only about this case and nothing else. Gag not for him but others! WHAT HE SAID: Show me if there was any other occasion anywhere in the country when a father himself handed over his son to the police. WHAT IS THE FACT: He himself claimed at the time of surrender of his son that they waited for a week hoping to get anticipatory bail. In other words, the accused was hiding even after the police issued summons to appear and surrendered only after all options exhausted.

There is a TON wrong with the press freedom index as this piece explains — but we DON’T need an index to tell us how we have made a joke of the idea of questioning power in India over the last decade. We can just turn on the 9 pm news.
Manisha Pande@MnshaP

A territory where over 220 journalists have been killed, newsrooms bombed flat, reporters starved and communications deliberately cut, is considered a freer place to do journalism than India. Why is that? We look at the latest RSF's press freedom index. newslaundry.com/2026/04/30/pal…

Surprised to see this conduct from the @TelanganaCOPs. It cited a report from @TheSiasatDaily and @NewsMeter_In that merely reported the prevailing tension for action. Earlier too, police invoked UAPA against news page @TeluguScribe perceived to be aligned with opposition party.

Telangana Police cannot become a tool to silence journalists, activists, political voices, and media houses like @TheSiasatDaily & @NewsMeter_In for merely reporting or discussing communal tensions. Branding every uncomfortable post as “inflammatory” is a dangerous attack on free speech and democracy. I request @PCITweets @IndEditorsGuild @CPJAsia kindly raise concern. It’s time to react on such notices. #Telangana #Hyderabad

The Supreme Court has stayed any tree felling activity around the Eco Sensitive Zone of Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park, in the originally proposed ESZ (25 to 35 metres). The matter was argued by Senior Counsel K. Vivek Reddy, assisted by BASA Mithun Shashank. The order was passed by the Bench comprising Justice B.V. Nagarathna and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan.

The biggest political damage in the Telangana POCSO case wasn’t the allegation alone - it was the handling of it. From defiance to smear campaigns to delayed surrender, every move deepened the crisis. Today, it has become a political case study in how not to handle allegations involving power, police, courts and public perception. In politics, survival often depends less on the accusation—more on the response. Here is a classic case where the rope is self-made. thesouthfirst.com/telangana/the-…

Now it’s a question of arrested vs. surrendered between the @TelanganaCOPs and MoS Home @bandisanjay_bjp. Can the Police release the CCTV footage of the apprehension? Also, Cyberabad Police states in the Press Note that Bandi Bhageerath has admitted to committing the offence.

Eight days after a POCSO complaint was filed and @TelanganaCOPs issued lookout notices and conducted searches, @bandisanjay_bjp son was still not traced. But, a day after his bail was denied, he appeared tonight for questioning at Pet Basheerabad Police Station with his advocates

Had @bandisanjay_bjp, MoS for Home Affairs, shown even an iota of respect for law of the land, or for office he holds, would he have allowed his son facing allegations under POCSO Act to go absconding? @TelanganaCOPs are said to have issued lookout notice and are still in search!
