Revanth Reddy focusing on glamour while Telangana reeling under crisis: KTR

BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao criticizes CM Revanth Reddy for prioritizing beauty pageants over critical state issues and farmer distress.

"Revanth Reddy suffers from a dangerous psychological condition – Multiple Personality Disorder - K.T. Rama Rao"

Hyderabad, May 22

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is focusing on glamour while the state is reeling under crisis, said Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K. T. Rama Rao on Thursday.

The former minister came down heavily on CM Revanth Reddy, accusing him of being unfit to lead the state due to his "erratic" behaviour, "misplaced" priorities, and "political dishonesty".

"Revanth Reddy suffers from a dangerous psychological condition – Multiple Personality Disorder. That's why he speaks in different tones on the same issue every other day," KTR said in a chat with media persons.

"More than 580 farmers have died by suicide. Paddy is being washed away by rain. But Revanth Reddy is busy attending Miss World events four times instead of visiting the families of the deceased. Is this the Chief Minister Telangana deserves?" he questioned.

KTR also slammed the government for allegedly spending over Rs 200 crore on beauty pageants while claiming the state treasury is empty.

"Ministers have turned into tour guides for beauty queens, as even CPI leader Narayana pointed out. Is this governance or a fashion show?" KTR asked.

KTR ridiculed the showcasing of government projects to Miss World contestants and questioned their political relevance.

"Every project, building shown to them was built by the previous BRS government. Can Revanth name even one project built by Congress?" he asked.

He alleged that the event was being used to distract the public from pressing governance failures.

"While SLBC tunnel workers remain trapped for months, the Chief Minister parades on red carpets. This is a betrayal of Telangana's people and priorities," he said.

Slamming the Congress government for notices issued to BRS president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao by P. C. Ghose Commission, probing alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project, KTR said that the Congress party is resorting to "filthy" politics under the guise of commission notices.

KTR remarked that this is nothing but a "cover-up" for their "corrupt agenda".

KTR said the smear campaign against the Palamuru-Rangareddy project has already collapsed after the Supreme Court's observations.

"Soon, the same will happen with the propaganda against Kaleshwaram. The real motive behind these notices is to cancel and re-tender projects to collect 20–30 per cent commissions," he alleged.

KTR makes valid points but he shouldn't forget his own party's track record. Both parties need to focus on governance rather than mudslinging. Farmers' suicides are a national shame - all politicians must work together on this crisis. 🙏

As a Hyderabadi, I'm ashamed! ₹200 crore on beauty pageants when people are suffering? Miss World won't feed hungry children or help farmers. Our CM should remember he was elected to serve, not to pose for photos with models. Shameful priorities!

While I don't support Congress, KTR's criticism sounds hypocritical. BRS had 9 years to solve farmer issues. Both parties use commissions as political weapons. Telangana deserves better than this "my corruption vs your corruption" debate.

The tunnel workers' situation breaks my heart 💔 How can any leader enjoy parties while fellow citizens are trapped underground? This isn't about politics - it's basic humanity. Hope courts intervene since politicians won't.

Miss World brings global attention to Hyderabad, which is good for business. But timing is everything - you can't ignore crises for glamour. CM should balance both instead of going to extremes. Governance first, events later.

KTR's "multiple personality disorder" jab was unnecessary. We need mature debates on policies, not personal attacks. That said, the government must explain why paddy farmers aren't getting help during monsoon. Show us action, not excuses!
