The by-election for the Jubilee Hills Assembly seat is scheduled for November 11, with vote counting set for November 14. The seat fell vacant following the death of BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath in June due to a heart attack. The ruling Congress party has fielded V. Naveen Yadav as its candidate, while Maganti Sunitha, the widow of the late MLA, represents the BRS (Bharath Rashtra Samithi). BJP has nominated Lankala Deepak Reddy to contest from the seat.
BRS Alleges “Thousands of Fake Voters”
The opposition BRS has accused the ruling Congress of orchestrating a large-scale voter registration fraud in the constituency. BRS Working President KT Rama Rao alleged that the Congress manipulated electoral rolls by creating thousands of fake entries. “In one house, they got 43 fake votes were registered. In total, they registered thousands of fake votes. We are doing an exercise on that and will counter it in whatever way necessary,” KTR said.
Legal Challenge and Court’s Observation
Following these allegations, the BRS moved the Telangana High Court, seeking action against the alleged irregularities. However, during a recent hearing, the High Court observed that since the State Election Commission is already revising electoral rolls, no additional directions were necessary at this stage.The incident involving fake voter ID cards featuring prominent film celebrities has added a dramatic twist to an already heated campaign in Jubilee Hills.Also Read: Tamannaah Bhatia is more than just ‘Milky Beauty’: 6 Reasons that prove she’s an artist of substance

EXCLUSIVE: Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is FIRST Diwali release in 22 years to get ‘A’ rating; CBFC replaces ‘Raavan’ with ‘villain’, ‘maal’ with ‘ladki’
Diwali usually brings family entertainers, but Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat takes a bold turn. The film has been certified ‘A’. With recent adult-rated hits like Animal (2023), Coolie (2025) etc., proving that an ‘A’ tag doesn’t stop box office success, this intense love story is ready to make its mark amid the festive fireworks. Despite the ‘A’ rating, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requested six modifications from the makers of the romantic saga. A 2-minute 12-second shot was asked to be modified. The details of the shot aren’t specified in the cut list. A 1-second visual of Mantralaya was asked to be removed. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat also suffered audio cuts. The dialogue ‘sleep with her’ was asked to be removed. At two places, ‘Raavan’ was replaced with ‘villain’. The CBFC’s Examining Committee, in fact, asked the makers to remove all the dialogue belonging to the epic Ramayana. Lastly, ‘maal’ was replaced with ‘ladki’. Once these changes were made, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat was passed with an ‘A’ certificate on October 16. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 140. 17 minutes. In other words, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is 2 hours 20 minutes and 17 minutes long. Directed by Milap Zaveri, it stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa. Interestingly, Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is the first Diwali release in 22 long years to be A-rated. The last time this occurred was during Diwali 2003. Four films were released in the festival week that year the period drama Pinjar, Govinda’s comic caper Raja Bhaiya, Tanishaa Mukherji’s horror flick Sssshhh and Vikram Bhatt’s thriller Inteha. The last two were passed with ‘A’ rating by the CBFC. A year prior, in 2002, Annarth, starring Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Vinod Kambli and others, was given an adults-only rating. In 2001, Kamal Haasan’s ambitious venture Aalavandhan, which was released in Hindi as Abhay, was also meant only for adults. In 1999, the A-rated Shool, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Raveena Tandon with a special appearance by Shilpa Shetty, was a Diwali release and it clashed with Hum Saath Saath Hain.
