Interesting observation by KTR. CM Reddy's silence does seem unusual when other Congress leaders are vocal. Maybe there's more to this story than meets the eye? 🤔

As a Congress supporter, I think CM Reddy is being smart by not commenting on ongoing legal matters. Not every leader needs to react to every issue.

KTR makes a valid point here. Political leaders should be transparent about their stand, especially when it involves their own party's top leadership.

While I don't always agree with KTR, he's right to question this inconsistency. If this was about BJP leaders, Congress would be shouting from rooftops! Double standards much?

Maybe CM Reddy is focused on governance rather than political mudslinging? We need more leaders who work instead of just talking about others. Just saying! 👏

Respectful criticism here - KTR shouldn't be pointing fingers when BRS has its own share of controversies. Pot calling kettle black situation. Let's focus on real issues affecting people.
