Political Furor Erupts Over Defamatory Remarks in Telangana

BRS spokesperson Sravan Dasoju accuses Telangana CM Revanth Reddy of degrading political discourse. Controversy escalates after Minister K Surekha's comments linking KTR to Samantha's divorce, prompting backlash from BRS leaders and actors. Surekha later clarifies, retracting her remarks if found offensive.

BRS national spokesperson Sravan Dasoju launched a scathing attack on Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of degrading the political discourse in the state. Dasoju's comments came in the wake of Konda Surekha's statement implicating Revanth Reddy in a decline of political standards.

Dasoju's criticism was amplified by a controversial statement from Telangana Minister K Surekha, who linked BRS leader KTR to Samantha's divorce, alleging phone tapping and blackmail. The remarks have incited widespread condemnation, with BRS leaders and actor Nagarjuna Akkineni denouncing the unfounded allegations.

Amidst the uproar, Nagarjuna Akkineni urged respect for privacy, while Samantha emphasized her divorce as a personal issue. Under mounting pressure, Konda Surekha clarified her remarks, stating her intention was to critique KTR's actions, and expressed readiness to retract them if they offended Samantha or her admirers.
