On Thursday, Anumula Revanth Reddy became the first Congress chief minister of Telangana, the state with the shortest lifespan in India, when she took the oath of office. Hyderabad’s LB Stadium hosted the new government’s swearing-in event.

In addition, Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu was sworn in as the state’s deputy chief minister once it was established in 2014.

The chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party Sonia Gandhi, and Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge attended the swearing-in ceremony. Congress Party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, and Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, also participated in the event.

In the most recent Assembly elections, the Congress defeated the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and took 64 of the 119 seats.

38 seats were won by Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), which governed the newest state in India for ten years. AIMIM received seven seats while the BJP secured eight.

Meanwhile, three days after the elections had been announced, Revanth Reddy took the oath. The Congress questioned why no one was raising concerns about the BJP’s tardiness in naming chief ministers for the three states it had won—Rishikesh, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh.

The Congress party was under fire in the media less than a day after the election results were announced on December 3rd for allegedly having delayed in selecting a chief minister for Telangana. Our CM, who was announced the day before, will take over at 1:00 PM today.

However, three days have passed and the BJP is still unable to even name their chief ministers for Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. Why doesn’t the BJP face consequences for the apparent delay? Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress, said.

The daunting task before the new chief minister is to carry out the six party pledges, one of which is to provide free transit for women on Telangana State Road Transport Corporation buses, just like in Karnataka.

A thief after failing a burglary attempt to steal money at a bank in Telangana’s Mancherial district has left everyone hilarious.

According to police, a thief failed to open the lockers of a bank and left a note praising the security system of the bank.  

Police said the masked burglar got access to enter a government rural bank at Nennel Mandal headquarters after breaking the main gate’s lock on Thursday.

The thief said his fingerprints would not be there, he asked not to catch him as he did not take a single money. He said a good bank’s security system.

He looked through the cabins of cashiers and clerks but found no money or valuables. His attempt to open the lockers was unsuccessful. Next, he grabbed a newspaper and used a marker pen to write in Telugu, saying, he didn’t get any money, so don’t arrest him. Police said the bank is operating from a residential house without any security guards.

On Friday, the bank officials observed a robbery attempt and filed a complaint which resulted in the registration of a case under relevant IPC sections.

The police confirmed that they are trying to catch the burglar, and they are currently reviewing the CCTV footage. They also mentioned that they are continuing their investigation.

Another case was reported earlier from Delhi Wazirabad where a man stole a bag of cash worth Rs 10 Lakhs at gunpoint. According to reports, the incident transpired outside an ICICI Bank ATM and a security guard was also shot during the robbery.

In the video, a man wearing a mask with a grey hoodie was seen holding two guns as he pointed them in the direction of the cash van officials. The looter was seen asking the cash van official to bring out the bag from inside the ATM after which the man did as told and brought out the bag. The gunman goes on to carry the bag which had Rs 10 lakh.

A video has emerged from Telangana’a Karimnagar that showcased a wild bear roaming around the residential area in the city, creating panic among people. The video has been shared online.

The video attracted the attention of the forest department and later bear was caught by the officials. In the video, a wild bear could be seen running on the road and in the locality. The bear was spotted in Sripuram Colony on Friday night, and its activities were recorded by CCTV cameras.

This morning, local residents used their mobile cameras to capture footage of a confused bear wandering through a market area in the Rekurthi region. Forest department officials attempted to capture the animal using nets and tranquilizers near the suspected hiding spot in the bushes. The animal is near the bushes where it is suspected to be hiding.

In the video, the bear looked confused as it crossed a market area as eager users captured its movement on mobile cameras.

A person was seen running after the bear with a stick in hand. Others kept shouting to scare the animal away. It briefly stopped near an autorickshaw before entering a residential area. The CCTV installed in the residential colony caught the bear snooping around, looking for food or a spot to enter.

According to reports, the incident was not witnessed for the first time that a wild animal has been found roaming around in residential areas. This year, in May a similar incident occurred in Telangana’s Suryapet where a bear entered the locality and hid at the site of an under-construction building. It was later rescued by the forest officials and released in the wild.

As the news spread, locals started squatting near the under-construction building, while many, gripped by fear, shut themselves indoors. The forest department sent two teams along with the required equipment from Warangal and Hyderabad. The rescue operation lasted for a couple of hours. There was no damage and the teams safely rescued the bear from the under-construction building.
