A significant political controversy has erupted in Telangana after Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy stated that his predecessor, K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), deserved to be "hanged" for the alleged "injustice" caused to the state in the utilization of river waters. These remarks, which also implicated KCR's nephew T. Harish Rao, were made during a presentation on irrigation issues, where Reddy accused the previous BRS government of severe mismanagement of Krishna and Godavari river projects. He contended that the damage inflicted during the BRS regime was even more detrimental than what the state experienced during undivided Andhra Pradesh. Reacting strongly to CM Reddy's inflammatory comments, K. Kavitha, daughter of KCR and a prominent leader of Telangana Jagruthi, vehemently condemned his statements. She retorted that Revanth Reddy himself "should be hanged not once but twice." Kavitha expressed her profound anger, stating that her blood boiled upon hearing such remarks against a leader who spearheaded the Telangana movement. She criticized CM Reddy's comments as unbecoming of a Chief Minister and reflective of political vendetta rather than responsible governance. Furthermore, Kavitha urged KCR to actively participate in the Assembly debate on the Krishna river water issue to effectively counter the allegations made by the Chief Minister and his ministers. She emphasized the importance of KCR's intervention for the survival and future of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party. The dispute has intensified the political discourse in Telangana, bringing critical issues of river water management, irrigation projects like Kaleshwaram and Palamuru, and accountability for past governmental decisions to the forefront.
