The political rivalry in Telangana intensified sharply as BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) launched a scathing personal attack on Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy after the latter made remarks about former CM and BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), who is also KTR’s father.

KTR took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent his anger, calling Revanth Reddy a “mad dog” who had “crossed every single limit of decency.” He went on to say, “I request his family members to take him to some mental health facility at the earliest or else in his frustrated state, he might start biting everyone around,” tagging the post with the hashtag #CheapMinister.

This outburst came in response to Revanth Reddy’s controversial comments during an official program in Hyderabad where he stated, “Those who talk about stature were sent to stretcher. If they don’t change, they will be sent to mortuary.” The Chief Minister appeared to be responding to KTR’s claim that KCR would not attend the Assembly as no one in the Congress matched his stature.

Adding fuel to the fire, Revanth Reddy accused the former BRS government of pushing Telangana into financial distress. “We inherited debts and mistakes from the KCR government. Every month, we have to pay ₹6,500 crore just to manage debt and interest,” he said, accusing the BRS regime of gifting a “financial cancer” to the state.

He further criticized the KCR family for allegedly spreading misinformation. “The entire KCR family is uttering lies like a family package. I won’t govern with lies — I will tell people the truth and work towards development,” Revanth added.

This intense exchange signals a new low in Telangana’s political discourse, with the battle between the current and former ruling parties veering into personal attacks and blame games, overshadowing policy debates and governance issues.
