Revanth Reddy's "Hang KCR" Remark Ignites Telangana Political Firestorm

  • Telangana CM Revanth Reddy controversially stated it wouldn't be wrong to "hang" former CM KCR and T Harish Rao for alleged injustice in irrigation projects.
  • Reddy accused the previous BRS regime of causing "greater injustice" to Telangana in river water utilization than during undivided Andhra Pradesh.
  • He cited poet Kaloji Narayana Rao and criticized KCR for alleged project cost escalations (Palamuru-Rangareddy, Kaleshwaram) and spreading misinformation.
  • CM Reddy invited KCR to debate irrigation issues in the Assembly, simultaneously taking a dig at his absence from sessions.
  • BRS leaders condemned Reddy's remarks, calling them a "death wish" and accusing Congress of harming Telangana's interests.

Why It Matters: CM Revanth Reddy's harsh comments on KCR over irrigation projects spark major political controversy in Telangana.
