The political climate in Telangana has sharply deteriorated, as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy launched a fierce critique against his predecessor, K Chandrasekhar Rao. The BRS working president, KT Rama Rao, matched Reddy’s intensity with his own strong response.

During an event for distributing appointment letters to 1,532 lecturers, Reddy cleverly used wordplay to target KCR, stating, “Leaders who talked about stature are now lying on a stretcher and will soon be heading to the mortuary.” He further claimed that his administration is burdened with financial liabilities inherited from KCR’s leadership, revealing that ₹6,500 crore is paid monthly to settle debts and interest from loans taken by the former government.

Reddy also accused the Kalvakuntla family of disseminating misinformation against the Congress government. In reaction to Reddy’s remarks, KT Rama Rao took to his X account, labeling Reddy a “mad dog” who has “crossed every single limit of decency.” He advised Reddy’s family to seek mental health assistance for him, warning that, in his agitated state, he might pose a threat to those around him. “Get well soon, cheap minister!” he added.

Additionally, T Harish Rao, Reddy’s cousin and senior BRS leader, condemned the chief minister’s comments as indicative of his political immaturity.

In another development, the Congress government faced criticism following the arrest of two women journalists who shared a video featuring a farmer making derogatory remarks about Chief Minister Reddy. The video went viral, prompting a complaint from Congress and subsequent arrests of journalists Revathi and Bandi Sandhya, also known as Thanvi Yadav, in a pre-dawn raid. Their families claimed they were not notified about the arrests. The journalists were later presented in court and placed in judicial custody, raising concerns from the Editors Guild regarding their detention.
