This is how it should work ideally.
Disappointed to see the quality of these roads at Amritalur Mandal, bapatla district. Requesting the district administration to look into it immediately and get the road repaired.

In Karnataka , Bangalore Teachers Constituency held by Congress candidate Puttanna himself for many years now won by JDS candidate. Definitely a wake up call to Karnataka Congress
FYI - Puttanna has been MLC with all parties in past
REALITY CHECK: 28 MLC seats, Congress wins ZERO — including the loss of a sitting member’s seat in Karnataka.
MLC elections are not a direct reflection of voter mood, but they do offer clues to regional power equations, party organisation and the local level challenges facing Congress. Zero wins across 28 seats is a result the party cannot afford to ignore.🙏
BIG SETBACK FOR KARNATAKA CONGRESS
NDA candidate Ranganath wins the Bengaluru Teachers’ constituency in the MLC elections, while the BJP is leading and Congress trailing in the other three constituencies.
Counting is underway, with final results expected post-midnight. A potentially major setback for the ruling Congress in Karnataka.

The team representing actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has filed a complaint with Hyderabad Cyber Crime authorities over allegedly fabricated online content targeting the actors. The complaint reportedly flags manipulated screenshots, impersonation and online harassment. The team said the move seeks accountability for false information and potentially unlawful conduct, not to restrict genuine criticism.

SHIVAMOGGA DASARA
Chaos during the Shivamogga Dasara procession after elephant Somananna became agitated, causing the howdah to fall. Veterinary officials sedated the elephant, while police struggled to control the panicked crowd.
Shivamogga SP and DFO are at the spot. Somananna is recovering.
There’s something beautiful about Bengaluru’s empty roads during festivals. The city suddenly travels 30 years back in time. Traffic free streets, open roads and a rare sense of calm.
A delight to the eyes, and a joy to drive through.
