As Rahul protests in Delhi, criticism from Telangana: KTR calls him coward and bully

Bharat Rashtra Samithi's KT Rama Rao criticized Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, calling him a coward, a bully, and an undemocratic individual. Rao accused Gandhi of preaching the Constitution while allowing anarchy in Telangana through his puppet, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Rao claimed that Gandhi's actions resulted in Telangana being the biggest vote-chor, with Reddy being the original vote-for-note peddler.

Rao's statement came after the arrest of BRS leader Manne Krishank, who questioned the Anumula family's corruption with proof. Gandhi had visited KTR's Assembly constituency, Sircilla, on October 1 and accused KCR, KTR's father, of amassing disproportionate wealth during the BRS regime between 2014 and 2023. Krushank subsequently accused Reddy's daughter, Naimisha Reddy, of being linked to pharmaceutical companies, and demanded an Enforcement Directorate probe into the CM's alleged business interests, assets, investments, and financial transactions.
