In a recent media conference held on Gandhi Jayanti at Bapughat, Telangana Minister Konda Surekha ignited a political firestorm with shocking allegations against KTR, the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Surekha claimed that KTR played a pivotal role in the breakup of the popular film couple Naga Chaitanya and Samantha, asserting that his influence extended to drug addiction and blackmailing within the film industry.
Surekha’s comments came amid escalating tensions in Telangana’s political landscape, where accusations and counter-accusations among politicians have reached a fever pitch. According to her, KTR has not only been involved in dubious activities with several actresses but has also resorted to invasive tactics such as phone tapping. She alleged that KTR orchestrated illicit rave parties that led to many actresses marrying early to escape his grasp, suggesting that these relationships were marred by manipulation and coercion.
“We have seen the dark side of KTR’s influence,” Surekha stated emphatically, contending that he has “played with the lives of heroines” and contributed to numerous divorces, including that of Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. Her comments have ignited discussions about KTR’s alleged conduct during his tenure as a minister and raised questions about the treatment of women in politics and entertainment.
