Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy removed minister Konda Surekha from the Cabinet after her daughter Konda Sushmitha Patel made remarks targeting him and Parkal MLA Revuri Prakash Reddy.

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday (September 03) has removed Minister Konda Surekha from the Council of Ministers with immediate effect. The move comes after remarks made by her daughter, Konda Sushmitha Patel, targeting Revanth Reddy and Parkal MLA Revuri Prakash Reddy. Sushmitha’s comments sparked strong reactions within the Congress, following which the TPCC Disciplinary Committee issued a notice to Surekha over the matter. The dispute centres on the Parkal Assembly constituency and emerged after Sushmitha publicly questioned Revanth Reddy's support for Congress MLA Revuri Prakash Reddy. During a recent programme in the constituency, Revanth Reddy backed sitting MLA Prakash Reddy and appealed to voters to elect him again in the next election. Sushmitha questioned the Chief Minister's decision to support Prakash Reddy in what she called "Konda territory". "Why are you coming to my area, coming to Konda's territory, and asking people to elect Prakash Reddy again?" she asked. Sushmitha's remarks gained significance as she has also expressed an interest in contesting the Parkal Assembly seat in the next election.

She also made an allegation involving government land worth Rs 200 crore and a shell company. "Except for you and your brothers falling upon the state and exploiting it, you haven't done anything else," she said. "Why are you (Revanth Reddy) picking a fight with us? Why are you doing this to us?" Sushmitha asked. Meanwhile, Surekha told the TPCC Disciplinary Committee that her daughter's remarks were her personal views. She argued that family members should not be held politically responsible for each other's opinions. "Expecting another person to take political responsibility or demanding an explanation for someone's opinions merely due to family relations is improper," Surekha said.

CM Revanth Reddy sacks Konda Surekha from Telangana Cabinet amid row over daughter’s remarks

<p>Telangana Forest and Environment Minister Konda Surekha has been ordered by a local court to remove the social media posts linking Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao to the divorce of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The order came after Rao filed a Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 Billion) defamation case against Surekha in the city civil court in Hyderabad.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, State Minister Surekha irked many as she alleged that KTR was the "reason behind the Naga-Samantha split up" in 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She claimed that KTR allegedly tapped the phones of actresses and blackmailed them, and he was behind the divorce of the actors.<br />
<br />
In her post, she claimed, "Tt is KT Rama Rao, because of whom Samantha's divorce happened... He was a minister at that time and used to tap the phones of the actresses and then find their weaknesses to blackmail them... He used to make them drug addicts and then do this... Everyone knows this, Samantha, Naga Chaitanya, his family—everybody is aware that such a thing happened."<br />
<br />
Both Samantha and Naga Chaitanya refuted her claims, slamming her in statements released by them. They termed her remarks as, "absolutely ridiculous" and also asked the minister to be "responsible and respectful of individuals' privacy."<br />
<br />
Chaitanya's father and famous Telugu actor Akkineni Nagarjuna also filed a defamation suit against Surekha, alleging that the minister's remarks damaged his family's reputation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several actors and filmmakers from the Telugu film industry including Chiranjeevi, SS Rajamouli, Junior NTR, Mahesh Babu, and Vijay Devarkonda slammed the Congress leader for her remarks.<br />
<br />
Following a&nbsp;massive backlash, Surkeha later apologised. In the apology, she said, "I spoke about a family. It was an unexpected slip of the tongue on my part. When I saw their tweets, I felt bad. When I realised that, I felt bad that I hurt someone. So I unconditionally withdraw my statement. But in KTR's case, there is no going back. I demand his apology."</p>
