AP Medical Aspirants’ Quota Plea Rejected by Telangana High Court:
The Telangana High Court has upheld Government Order 72 (GO 72), which restricts NEET students from Andhra Pradesh from claiming local candidate quota for MBBS or BDS admissions in colleges established after the formation of Telangana state. A division bench led by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar delivered this verdict in response to a batch of petitions challenging the legality and arbitrariness of GO 72.
As a result, Andhra Pradesh students are no longer eligible to be considered local candidates for admission to approximately 34 medical and dental colleges established in Telangana after the state’s formation, under the 85 percent competent quota. However, they can still apply for admission in the All-India pool quota, which constitutes 15 percent of the seats.
AP Medical Aspirants’ Quota Plea Rejected by Telangana High Court
The petitioners argued that, according to Section 95 of the AP Reorganisation Act, they had a ten-year window to secure admissions to TS medical colleges as local candidates. They contended that aside from the Presidential Order, the state government lacked the authority to restrict MBBS and BDS admissions based on place of birth or residence. They asserted that the amendment to the 2017 Rules was in violation of Article 13(2) of the Constitution.

Nifty-50 Reaches 20,000 Mark Amidst a Rally Driven by Domestic Liquidity:
The Nifty-50 index of the National Stock Exchange achieved a historic milestone by surpassing the 20,000 mark for the first time but concluded slightly lower at 19,996.35, gaining 176.40 points or 0.89 percent. This remarkable rally marked the seventh consecutive session of gains, primarily driven by domestic fund investments. However, analysts issued warnings regarding the liquidity-fueled surge, with certain segments of the broader market appearing overbought.
The market rally received a boost from equity mutual funds, which recorded a significant increase in net inflow, reaching Rs 20,245 crore in August, compared to the Rs 7,626 crore observed in July. This surge in inflow represented the highest levels in the past five months, as reported by the Association of Mutual Funds in India.
The benchmark Sensex of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) also closed above the 67,000 mark at 67,127.08, gaining 528.17 points or 0.79 percent. It’s noteworthy that BSE’s all-time high of 67,619.17, set in July 2023, remains unchallenged. The market rally on Monday extended to the broader market, with the NSE’s Nifty Midcap 100 rising by 1.14 percent and the Nifty Small-cap 100 gaining 1.33 percent.
A wide range of sectors participated in Monday’s rally, led by banking, automotive, power, metal, FMCG, and realty sector stocks. Key heavyweight stocks such as Reliance Industries (1.02 percent), HDFC Bank (0.59 percent), Adani Ports (7.10 percent), and Adani Enterprises (3.68 percent) played a significant role in the Nifty’s achievement of this new landmark. Adani’s gains followed the G-20 summit announcement of new rail-port connectivity through the Middle East to the US. BSE’s market capitalization reached a new all-time high, exceeding Rs 324.26 lakh crore, with a notional gain of over Rs 3.32 lakh crore.
Market experts noted that this rally is driven by liquidity, urging investors to exercise caution due to elevated valuations, particularly with the Nifty-50 trading at a FY2025 P/E ratio of over 18 times, considered expensive.
Additionally, small and mid-cap stocks are even more expensive in many cases. Notably, the Nifty-50’s surge has been primarily propelled by local investments in recent months, as foreign portfolio investment flow has been relatively subdued, partly due to limited global interest in Asia funds given China’s weak outlook, which carries significant regional weight.
Nifty-50 Reaches 20,000 Mark Amidst a Rally Driven by Domestic Liquidity
Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD, and CEO of the National Stock Exchange, commended the Nifty-50’s progress over the past 27 years, since its inception at an initial value of 1,000. He highlighted the trust placed by Indian and foreign investors in India’s capital markets. Chauhan also noted that more than 7.5 crore unique PAN numbers representing investors are registered with the NSE, indicating that 5 crore households directly invest a portion of their savings in the equity market via the NSE.
Balakrishna Criticizes Jagan for Naidu’s Jail Term:
TD leader and Hindupur MLA N. Balakrishna has urged the public to make a thoughtful choice between vendetta and progress when exercising their voting rights. He emphasized the need for every citizen to stand up and protect the state from further decline, considering it a crucial moment.
Balakrishna pledged to lead the charge against corruption and oppression, assuring the people that he would be at the forefront of this battle.
He accused Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of being primarily driven by political vengeance, showing little concern for development. In contrast, he praised TDP chief and former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu for his unwavering commitment to progress.
Balakrishna argued that Naidu had been unfairly implicated in a case without substantial evidence and expressed confidence in Naidu’s exoneration. He criticized the lack of development in the state under Jagan’s leadership, asserting that Jagan’s focus was solely on political retaliation.
Balakrishna alleged that Jagan’s desire to imprison TDP leaders stemmed from his own 16-month stint in jail, as he now aimed to see Naidu spend at least 16 days behind bars.
Furthermore, the TDP MLA highlighted Jagan’s legal troubles, including facing cases under the PD Act, ED, and CBI for the past decade. He believed Jagan intended to keep Naidu occupied with similar legal matters.
Balakrishna commended Chandrababu Naidu for his contributions to education, particularly in building schools for underprivileged students.
Balakrishna Criticizes Jagan for Naidu’s Jail Term
Regarding the skill development program, Balaya noted its origin in Gujarat and its subsequent implementation in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of Rs 3,281 crore. He mentioned Siemens providing software and Design Tech offering training, resulting in a successful job placement program. In Hindupur, a skill development fair resulted in 1,200 youth finding employment. Statewide, over 2.13 lakh youth received training through the program, with over 72,000 securing jobs, an achievement recognized with an award for Design Tech’s contributions.
Balakrishna cautioned that youth were closely monitoring Jagan’s actions and alleged conspiracies, expressing concerns about potential future taxation even on the air they breathe.

Lokesh and Atchannaidu Face Scrutiny Over Alleged Involvement in Scandal: Roja
The ongoing legal investigation into the skill development corporation scam has taken a new turn, as Tourism Minister R.K. Roja has hinted at the potential arrest of additional Telugu Desam Party (TD) leaders in connection with the case. Roja has indicated that the focus of the investigation has now shifted to Nara Lokesh, the son of former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, and the party’s state president, Atchannaidu.
During a media conference held on Monday, the minister mentioned that the allegations surrounding Lokesh and Atchannaidu’s involvement in the alleged misappropriation of funds could lead to their imminent arrests.
She revealed that after a rigorous two-and-a-half-year investigation, agencies have unearthed evidence suggesting that Naidu, Lokesh, and Atchannaidu may have been involved in misappropriating a substantial sum of Rs 241 crore. “Lokesh and Atchannaidu, who are central figures in this case, should also face arrest and further investigation,” she stressed.
Roja emphasized that the scam was not an isolated instance of corruption and irregularities associated with Naidu.”She Identifies Numerous Alleged Scandals Tied to TD Chief, Including Fiber Grid Project, Patti Seema, Polavaram, Amaravati Land, and Amaravati Inner Ring Road” .”As soon as evidence is found, they will continue to be arrested. “This is Only the Beginning, Not the End,” Says Roja Regarding Ongoing Investigations.
Lokesh and Atchannaidu Face Scrutiny Over Alleged Involvement in Scandal: Roja
Roja expressed her disapproval of the reactions from TD leaders and social media, highlighting that their rhetoric remained consistent even after Naidu’s arrest. She drew parallels with how the media portrayed Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy during his legal challenges, stating, “For 12 years, they labeled him as Jail Reddy; now we can similarly refer to Naidu as Jail Chaudhary.” Challenging Naidu and his supporters, Roja stated, “If those who have made mistakes have such audacity, imagine the courage we should have while following a leader who has not made any mistakes.”
Furthermore, she proposed, “Let Naidu provide a letter confirming his lack of involvement in the skill development corporation scam. We will present it to the cabinet for approval and forward it to the Centre to initiate investigations by the CBI and ED.”
Amit Shah to Inaugurate BJP’s Extensive Outreach Campaign in Dantewada Today:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is poised to commence the “Parivartan Yatra,” the BJP’s extensive outreach campaign, in the tribal-dominated region of Dantewada within Chhattisgarh’s Bastar district, ahead of the year-end assembly elections. The launch is scheduled for Tuesday, and Mr. Shah will begin by paying his respects to Maa Danteswari, the revered deity of Bastar, in the district headquarters of Dantewada. Subsequently, he will flag off the yatra and address a public rally on this significant occasion, as stated by Arun Sao, the state BJP president.
The Parivartan Yatra is an ambitious venture covering 1,728 kilometers across 21 districts in the state over a span of 16 days, culminating in Bilaspur on September 28. The BJP plans to organize 45 public meetings, 32 roadside gatherings, and five roadshows throughout the course of the yatra. Given the security concerns in the Naxal-infested Dantewada region, substantial security arrangements have been put in place.
Furthermore, the BJP has sought adequate security arrangements from the Director General of Police in Chhattisgarh for the yatra. The party is also preparing to initiate a second ‘Parivartan Yatra’ from Jashpur, a tribal-dominated area in northern Chhattisgarh, on September 15. This second yatra, set to take 12 days, will be flagged off by BJP National President J.P. Nadda. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address a gathering of party members during this event.
Both yatras have been strategically designed to cover all 90 assembly constituencies in the state. Om Mathur, BJP’s National General Secretary in charge of elections in Chhattisgarh, unveiled two chariots designated for these yatras. He emphasized that the party has been diligently preparing for the Chhattisgarh assembly elections over the past year.

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy Back in India After London Visit:
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has returned to India after a 10-day personal visit to London. His arrival on Tuesday morning at the Gannavaram airport was marked by a warm reception, with a contingent of ministers and government officials present to welcome him back. An official press release confirmed Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s return from his trip to London, underscoring the importance of his return to his responsibilities in the state.
During his visit to London, Chief Minister Reddy likely engaged in various personal and official activities. His return signifies a resumption of his duties and leadership in Andhra Pradesh, where he plays a pivotal role in the governance and development of the state.
Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy Back in India After London Visit
It is anticipated that his trip may have included discussions and interactions relevant to the state’s progress and future plans, benefiting from international perspectives and experiences.
A two-judge panel at the Telangana High Court has referred a writ petition concerning the classification of 2,000 acres of land in Warangal as forest or not back to a single judge. This action came as a result of a writ appeal filed by the state government. In 2004, a single judge ruled in favor of a writ plea filed by the divisional forest officer, contesting the inclusion of what they claimed to be forest land. They argued that the 2,000 acres had been designated as private land by the forest settlement officer.
However, when the government initiated proceedings to the contrary in 1998, the current writ petition was filed and subsequently granted by a single judge. Earlier, the bench declined to grant additional time to the Additional Advocate General, and the case proceeded to be heard on its merits. A two-judge bench of the Telangana HC has declined to intervene in a single judge’s ruling regarding eviction from land under the Scheduled Area Land Transfer Regulation. In 1995, a single judge of the High Court had granted a writ plea brought by E. Shankaraiah of Adilabad, who faced eviction from approximately two acres of land in Balampur, Adilabad, on the grounds of violating the prohibition on land transfers in agency areas.
The single judge had determined that the petitioner had asserted, even before the primary authorities, that he had entered into a sale agreement in 1960 and had taken possession prior to the regulations. The bench comprised of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar determined that there was no valid reason or error in the ruling made by the single judge. The Telangana HChas issued a stay order, effectively halting the eviction of petitioners from a 509.79 square yard plot of land at Akshara Colony, Pedhamagada, Hanamkonda. This ruling was made absolute by Justice C. Sumalatha in a writ petition filed by E. Lingamurthy and others, challenging a notice issued by the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) for their eviction.
The petitioners asserted that they have owned the land in question for more than 25 years. Chikkudu Prabhakar, the petitioners’ counsel, emphasized that they possessed sale deeds, link documents, and revenue records, suggesting that the claims made by the Ranganayaka Swamy temple were legally unfounded and that the petitioners could not be evicted summarily. Justice C.V. Bhaskar Reddy of the Telangana HC has ensured the payment of maintenance to elderly parents under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizen Act 2007 and Rules Act.
The judge extended an interim order in a writ plea filed by K. Dayanand and his wife, seeking a directive for state authorities to initiate proceedings in line with the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizen Act 2007 and Rules, and to safeguard the petitioners’ life and property, as requested in their August 2022 complaint. During the hearing, the judge also requested the son to submit an affidavit confirming compliance with the court’s orders, including the timely payment of maintenance to his parents, along with any outstanding arrears.
Telangana HC Returns Warangal Forest Land Case
On September 16, the case resumed again. A two-judge bench of the Telangana HC has accepted a writ challenging Section 97 of the AP Reorganisation Act 2014. According to the petitioner, an amendment was made without following the prescribed constitutional procedure, leading to the issuance of the Telangana public employment organization of the local cadre and regulations of direct recruitment order in 2018. The bench, consisting of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, heard a writ plea brought by P. Thulasi Ram Prasad and 25 others, who alleged violations of Article 368 of the Constitution by both state and central governments. The bench has issued a notice to the respondents.
USA Comments on India’s Successful Hosting of the G20 Summit:
As the G20 Leaders’ Summit concluded with great enthusiasm in New Delhi, India, under India’s leadership on Sunday, the United States (USA) also lauded it as a resounding success.
During a routine press briefing on Monday, the USA State Department’s spokesperson, Matthew Miller, told journalists, “We firmly believe that the summit was a remarkable success. The G20 is a substantial organization, and it includes member nations like Russia and China.”
In response to a question from the media about the success of the G20 Summit, the spokesperson stated, “There are diverse viewpoints among the member countries. However, the fact that the organization managed to issue a statement emphasizing the importance of respecting territorial integrity and sovereignty, and declaring that these principles should not be violated, is a significant achievement. These principles are at the core of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and addressing them was crucial.”
The New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration stated that the “use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable,” without explicitly mentioning Russia. G20 member nations recalled the Bali declaration and stressed the need for all states to act according to the UN Charter’s Purposes and Principles, emphasizing the pursuit of a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine and the importance of refraining from the threat or use of force for territorial acquisition.
Regarding the conflict in Ukraine, the joint declaration reiterated the commitment to national positions and resolutions adopted at the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly, emphasizing that all states must adhere to the principles of the UN Charter, including refraining from using force to seek territorial acquisition or threatening to do so. It also emphasized the inadmissibility of using or threatening to use nuclear weapons.
The New Delhi Declaration reaffirmed the G20’s role as the primary forum for international economic cooperation and acknowledged that while it does not primarily address geopolitical and security issues, these issues can impact the global economy. The G20 members called on all nations to uphold international law principles, including territorial integrity, sovereignty, international humanitarian law, and the multilateral system that promotes peace and stability.
The declaration stressed the importance of peaceful conflict resolution, crisis management, diplomacy, and dialogue, and expressed the commitment to work together to mitigate the adverse economic effects of the war. It also welcomed initiatives that support a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine, in line with the UN Charter’s principles.

This marked the first occasion that India hosted the G20 Summit, which took place in New Delhi on September 9-10. Extensive efforts were undertaken to showcase India’s cultural heritage and strengths. During its presidency, India emphasized various issues, including inclusive growth, digital innovation, climate resilience, and equitable global health access. Indonesia held the G20 presidency last year, while Brazil is slated to assume the presidency following India’s tenure.
What Sets Rajamouli Apart: The Competitive Advantage:
The remarkable success of the renowned writer-director duo in Tollywood, consisting of Vijayendra Prasad and S.S. Rajamouli, is not a mystery. Their secret lies in a collaborative approach involving a team of over 30 members, which includes both young and experienced individuals for in-depth script discussions.
During these discussions, Rajamouli quietly listens as the team deliberates on various aspects such as scenes, character development, emotional elements, and other crucial elements in script creation.
The legendary Vijayendra Prasad actively engages in these discussions, providing valuable insights and occasionally injecting humor by playfully acknowledging absurd ideas while sustaining the conversation with compelling counterarguments. These discussions result in the creation of larger-than-life scripts.
Credit is due to this father-son duo for upholding the tradition of in-depth story discussions, a practice that allows for a comprehensive examination of a script from multiple perspectives rather than relying solely on one viewpoint. This practice is reminiscent of the era when luminaries like Dasari and Viswanath engaged in face-to-face discussions with writers to refine their scripts. They welcomed constructive criticism and willingly made adjustments if it improved the script.
What Sets Rajamouli Apart The Competitive Advantage
Amidst a wave of films in Tollywood that suffer from unoriginal plots and modern screenplay styles, S S Rajamouli serves as a prime example of how to produce blockbusters through meticulous script and screenplay discussions, resulting in well-crafted and foolproof scripts. It is hoped that other filmmakers will follow this lead in the future.
Daggubati Venkatesh’s Passion for Action-Oriented Roles:
Venkatesh, a seasoned actor known for his versatile performances, has captivated audiences with his realistic portrayal in movies like ‘Narappa’ and his impeccable comic timing in ‘F2.’ Now, he’s venturing into the action genre with his upcoming film ‘Saindhav.’ A source reveals, “Venkatesh has had a long-standing fascination with action roles, relishing the opportunity to wield guns and flex his muscles, which he’s finally getting now.” The actor has a penchant for watching anger-driven movies in various languages, and despite possessing a well-maintained physique and endurance, he had largely been associated with comedy and self-pitying roles.
Venky took some time to break away from his image as a lover boy and family man. Although he demonstrated his ability to excel in intense roles with films like ‘Ganesh’ and ‘Gharshana,’ he found himself repeatedly cast in wholesome entertainers such as ‘Malleswari’ and ‘Aduvari Matalaku Arthaley Veruley,’ both of which became blockbusters, compelling him to continue in that vein.
Daggubati Venkatesh’s Passion for Action-Oriented Roles-min
Following the massive success of ‘F2,’ where his character Venky Asanas became immensely popular among audiences, he reprised the role in ‘F3,’ though it didn’t replicate the same financial success. With younger heroes also exploring family dramas akin to his, Venkatesh desired to break free from the mold and revisit his brooding, intense persona to delight his fans once more. Having recently showcased his darker side in the web series ‘Rana Naidu,’ Venkatesh is evidently ready to embrace diverse roles. The question remains: Will filmmakers take notice?

Frequent Handwashing:

Protective Clothing:
Wearing full-sleeved shirts and long pants can help shield you from mosquito bites, which are often the vectors for various illnesses.
Nighttime Precautions:
Keep windows and ventilators closed during the nighttime to prevent insects, including mosquitoes, from entering your living spaces.
Tips for Avoiding Seasonal Fevers
Timely Medical Consultation:
If you experience any symptoms associated with fever, such as a high temperature, body ache, or fatigue, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing such illnesses and preventing their spread. By adhering to these precautionary measures, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of falling ill during seasonal fever outbreaks and contribute to public health safety.
WhatsApp Introduces New Feature for Managing Multiple Accounts:
WhatsApp has introduced an exciting new feature in its Android beta app, allowing users to manage multiple accounts on a single smartphone.
This multi-account feature is gradually rolling out in version 2.23.18.21 of the beta app and is exclusively available to users who have enrolled in the beta program through the Google Play Store, as reported by WABetaInfo.

A screenshot shared in the report suggests that the feature will allow access to at least two accounts simultaneously. This feature is currently available to select beta testers and is expected to roll out to other Android users soon.
Alongside the multi-account feature, the report also mentions the introduction of a redesigned user interface for beta testers. This redesign includes an improved profile tab within the chat list, offering users easy access to the app settings.
Additionally, WhatsApp is rolling out the Instant Video Messages feature to users on both Android and iOS platforms. To enable this feature, users can navigate to the settings and activate the toggle for video messages, which allows users to switch between using voice and video messages easily.

Leaders of the YSR Congress alleged on Sunday that Chandrababu Naidu, the chief of the Telugu Desam Party, was deeply involved in numerous corruption scandals during his tenure as leader, and they called for a comprehensive investigation into these alleged wrongdoings.
Kodali Venkateswara, a former minister and YSRC MLA, expressed satisfaction with Chandrababu’s arrest and subsequent remand, stating that “Today, the soul of NTR will rest in peace.” He suggested that there was clear preliminary evidence pointing to Chandrababu’s involvement in a criminal conspiracy and hailed the court’s verdict as a blow to Chandrababu’s arrogance. Venkateswara, as a fan of NTR and YSR, congratulated CM Jagan for taking action against Chandrababu.
Malladi Vishnu, the Vice-Chairman of the State Planning Board and an MLA, claimed that Naidu embezzled ₹371 crore from the state’s treasury under the guise of shell companies, all in the name of skill development.
Jogi Ramesh, the Housing Minister, declared that Chandrababu’s true character and history of corruption were now exposed. He dismissed allegations of political vendetta in Naidu’s arrest, stating that police had been investigating the case for two years, and the “real culprit” had been arrested and remanded.
Adimulapu Suresh, the Municipal Administration Minister, viewed Chandrababu Naidu‘s arrest as a triumph for the people and asserted that there was no political interference in the matter. He mentioned that when Chandrababu was arrested, both his son Nara Lokesh and adopted son Pawan Kalyan took to the streets and caused disturbances.
