The Statesman Bhubaneswar|January 01, 2025
From phone-tapping allegations to the demolition of actor Nagarjuna's convention center, and from a Telangana minister's offensive comments on Naga Chaitanya-Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce to the arrest of actor Allu Arjun for a stampede at a theatre, controversies dominated 2024 in Telangana.

The Congress government's efforts to deliver on its poll promises, the opposition's tirade over the government's failures, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi's struggle to bounce back after drawing a blank in the Lok Sabha elections, and defections of its ten MLAs marked the year.

The arrest of BRS leader K. Kavitha by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi excise policy case, the arrest of three serving and a retired police official on allegations of phone tapping during the BRS rule, and the probe into some of the alleged scams during the previous regime were among the key developments that made headlines during the year.
