Telangana politics hit a new low with the latest war of words between the ruling Congress party and the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samiti party. It all started with an incident where Medak MP and BJP Raghunandan Rao garlanded Konda Surekha in a recent public event. Using a picture of the both, BRS supporters resorted to a vicious campaign against Konda Surekha. She emotionally broke down and launched a scathing counterattack, making baseless allegations.
Surekha’s comments have triggered a massive controversy as she alleged that KTR was the reason behind the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. She also claimed that KTR blackmailed Nagarjuna over N Convention and involved Samantha unnecessarily in her statements. Her comments have drawn a sharp response from all quarters. Nagarjuna and Samantha immediately condemned these vulgar and cheap comments and asked her to refrain from dragging them into politics.
Now, KTR slapped a legal notice on Surekha for her insensitive remarks. He demanded retraction of her statements and a public apology within 24 hours, failing which she would face a legal action, including defamation and criminal cases. KTR condemned Surekha for using the names of celebrities to further her political agenda.
The Congress government and Surekha are yet to respond on the issue which sparked a huge political backlash and also outraged the general public for the senseless comments.
