"konda-surekha"

In court, Rama Rao described Surekha's allegations as "deeply hurtful" and despicable, stating that some were "unspeakable" for any normal person. He dismissed her claims of him being a drug addict and hosting rave parties as baseless, accusing her of seeking cheap publicity through these false accusations.

BRS working president KTR exuded confidence that the truth would prevail in the court and he would be able to put an end to this, in connection with the Rs 100 crore defamation lawsuit filed against Minister Konda Surekha.

It is learnt that the six MLAs on Tuesday urged the high command and the State leadership as well to take action against Surekha, citing "interference" and "misconduct" by the Minister.

Endowment Minister Konda Surekha, who visited the Vemulawada shrine on Monday, said a GO was issued to prepare the gold thapadam to Yadadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy with 63 kg gold.

Mahesh Kumar Goud said, it was opposition parties’ false campaign that the Forest Minister would be dropped from the cabinet.

The BRS working president said Surekha made repeated, deliberate and malicious comments to defame him and damage his reputation as well as gain cheap publicity by creating sensational news to further her political agenda

Ponnam Prabhakar said it is unnecessary for film industry members to react on the issue.

"Why hasn't Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy responded to Konda Surekha’s comments?" Sravan asked, while addressing a press conference at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday.

Though she said her intention was not to hurt Samantha's feelings, the Minister also unabashedly continued her comments before the media on the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha.

In a video message, TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud urged the film industry to accept the Minister's apology. He noted that the Minister had already withdrawn her remarks and promptly apologized to the actress for her comments.

My comments are meant to question a leader's attitude towards women and not to hurt your sentiments, the Minister said in a post on X

Jr. NTR was among the first celebrities to criticize Konda Surekha for her remarks, calling it a "new low" to involve personal lives in politics. He shared his statement with the hashtag #FilmIndustryWillNotTolerate, which quickly went viral.

After Samantha responded strongly to her remarks, Surekha clarified on 'X' that her comments were never intended to hurt Samantha's feelings but to call out a leader's demeaning attitude toward women. The minister expressed her admiration for Samantha's self-empowerment and acknowledged her as a role model.

Amala expressed her dismay over the Minister Konda Surekha's remarks, stating that she was shocked to see a woman Minister turn into a demon, conjuring evil fictions as allegations, preying on decent citizens as fuel for a political war.

The notice follows Surekha's defamatory remarks against Rama Rao, including accusation of phone tapping during his tenure as a Minister and personal allegations against him.

She implored the Minister to be responsible and respectful of the privacy of individuals

In a bid to target BRS leader KTR, the Congress Minister ended up making derogatory remarks against several actresses, drawing severe flak and triggering angry reactions from across the society

Learning about KT Rama Rao's visit to meet the victims of the beautification project, the Congress workers led by Motha Rohith obstructed his convoy in Musheerabad.

Accusing the BRS of posting objectionable posts on social media, Congress workers, reached the Telangana Bhavan in the afternoon and raised slogans and even tried to burn the effigy of BRS chief KCR

Taking to X, Rama Rao shared photographs of a recent event in Nizamabad, where a sweet shop owner displayed a huge banner in front of it, stating that "shop is closed due to police harassment."
