Surekha calls on Revanth for Rakhi bonhomie as Cong mulls punitive action
Hyderabad Telangana state environment and forests minister Konda Surekha on Friday met chief minister A Revanth Reddy at his residence on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan and tied a rakhi to him, even as the Congress high command is examining the report submitted by the Telangana PCC recommending disciplinary action against her for violating party discipline
On the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Telangana's Environment and Forests Minister, Konda Surekha, paid her respects to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at his residence. She tied a rakhi around his wrist, as part of the traditional bond between sisters and brothers. The Congress party's high command is currently reviewing a report from the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) which recommended disciplinary action against Surekha for allegedly violating party discipline.
However, Surekha declined to comment on the matter, stating that she was there to celebrate the festive bond and would not make any political statements at this time. She expressed her support for Revanth Reddy, praying that he would always have the blessings of women and the strength to develop the state. It is worth noting that Surekha's daughter, Konda Sushmita Patel, was involved in a controversy on August 19, when she allegedly made derogatory and defamatory comments about the Chief Minister at a public event in Warangal district.
Surekha's daughter, Sushmitha, also criticized Revanth Reddy, announcing her intention to contest the next election from Parkal if she doesn't receive the Congress ticket. This has strained the relationship between Surekha and the chief minister, leading to her being targeted by the Congress high command.
