Telangana Minister Konda Surekha Sparks Controversy by Linking KTR to Naga Chaitanya and Samantha's Divorce

In a recent and highly contentious statement, Telangana Minister Konda Surekha has alleged that KT Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), was the primary reason behind the divorce of popular Telugu actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This accusation has ignited a significant row in Telangana politics and the film industry.

During a media interaction, Konda Surekha made several serious allegations against KTR, claiming that he has a habit of exploiting women, including heroines from the film industry. She alleged that KTR introduced these women to drugs, leading to their addiction, and even tapped their phones to gather personal information. Surekha questioned KTR's respect for women, citing his own family members and asking why he did not value the dignity of women.

Allegations and Reactions

Surekha's allegations extended to claiming that KTR's actions were responsible for several actresses rushing into marriages and subsequently distancing themselves from their film careers. She also suggested that KTR organized rave parties and blackmailed members of the film industry.

In response to these allegations, KTR and the BRS have vehemently denied any involvement in the personal lives of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. KTR questioned the credibility of Surekha's claims, highlighting similar baseless allegations she had made in the past. He also criticized Surekha and other Congress leaders for their silence when Congress workers used unparliamentary language against BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR).

Nagarjuna, the father of Naga Chaitanya, has also reacted strongly to Surekha's comments. He slammed the minister for her remarks, emphasizing that such personal attacks were uncalled for and disrespectful. Nagarjuna's response underscores the deep frustration within the film industry regarding the politicization of personal issues.

Political Implications

The controversy has highlighted the declining political values in Telangana, with both the BRS and Congress engaging in personal attacks rather than focusing on governance and public issues. Surekha's allegations and the subsequent reactions have further polarized the political landscape, with each side accusing the other of unethical practices.
