Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 4 (ANI): BRS national spokesperson Sravan Dasoju on Friday targeted Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy over Konda Surekha’s statement, saying that under his leadership the politics and the political discourse in the state have declined.
Speaking to ANI Dasoju, said, “In the advent of Mister Revanth Reddy becoming the TPCC president and subsequently becoming the chief minister of Telangana the politics and the political discourse in Telangana has reached a very low level; derogatory, defamatory, insulting, humiliating abuses are being hurled at the opposition particularly KCR and KTR and the other family members.”
“Today particularly a few sets of ministers in the Telangana cabinet or a set of leaders in the government are trying to emulate Revanth Reddy…A recent incident that has happened with regard to Nagarjuna and linking it up with Samantha and KTR and all that is uncalled for defamatory, and she should be punished,” he added.
This comes after Telangana Minister K Surekha linked former Minister and BRS leader KTR to the divorce of Samantha and Naga Chaitanya, accusing KTR of tapping the phones of actors and blackmailing them.
“It is KT Rama Rao because of whom (actress) Samantha’s divorce happened. He was a minister at that time and used to tap the phones of the actresses and then find their weaknesses to blackmail them. He used to make them drug addicts and then do this. Everyone knows this, Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, his family–everybody is aware that such a thing happened,” Surekha said while speaking to reporters earlier.
Surekha’s remarks sparked massive controversy, with several BRS leaders as well as superstar and Naga Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna Akkineni, condemning the remarks.
Nagarjuna Akkineni condemned Surekha’s remarks, saying that she should not use the lives of movie stars to criticise her opponents, and urged her to respect the privacy of others. Samantha also reacted to the remarks and said that her divorce was a “personal matter.”
Following widespread criticism, Konda Surekha clarified her remarks were meant to question KT Rama Rao for “belittling women” and not to hurt Samantha Prabhu’s sentiments. She stated that she would “unconditionally” retract her comments if Samantha or her fans were offended by them. (ANI)
