Members of Kotha Telangana Charitra found proofs
Members of Kotha Telangana Charitra found inscriptions on a rock that describes Dommata was a village donated to Brahmins after purchasing it by a local ruler. This village was located at Cheriyal mandal of Siddipet village.
There used to be a village in the past which got submerged under a vagu – Gurijakunta Vagu and a tank Krishnamma. After shifting their village to new location nearby the villagers brought some rocks with scriptures. They were found in the fields of new Dommata village by Kolipaka Srinivas, member of Kotha Telangana Charitra. The digitized photos were studied by Ramaraju Haragopal. “Paidimarri Naganayani, a local ruler brought this land donated the village to Brahmins. This was written in Telugu of 14th century,” informed Mr. Srinivas. However, the name of the ruler or the time of writing the scripture was not mentioned.
For the first time in a Lok Sabha election, the AIADMK forfeited deposits in seven constituencies.

The outcome indicates that the BJP, whose Hindutva ideology has all along been considered alien to the political ethos of Tamil Nadu
Cardiologist and MP-elect from Bengaluru Rural C.N. Manjunath, who contested from the BJP and defeated three-time Congress MP D.K. Suresh, said he was the “people’s candidate” and that it is their aspiration to see him in the Union Cabinet. In an interview with The Hindu, he claimed his victory was possible because those who were treated at the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research became his “ambassadors”.
