**Hyderabad, October 2, 2024:** Telangana Minister Konda Surekha has stirred a hornet’s nest with sensational allegations against BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). In a scathing press conference, she accused KTR of using and manipulating actresses, linking his actions to the high-profile split of actors Samantha and Naga Chaitanya.
Surekha alleged that KTR, known for his political influence, had been exploiting actresses in the Telugu film industry. She claimed he influenced their lives, introduced them to drugs, and blackmailed them after recording them at private parties. She further alleged that KTR pressured Samantha to join him, leading to a strained relationship between her and Chaitanya, ultimately resulting in their divorce.
The minister also linked KTR to the sudden marriage of actress Rakul Preet Singh, claiming he was behind her hasty decision to tie the knot.
“KTR has a habit of playing with the lives of actresses. He got them addicted to drugs, tapped their phones, and blackmailed them,” Surekha alleged, adding that many actresses had been forced to leave the industry due to his actions.
She also accused KTR of using social media accounts from Dubai to target her with fake news and derogatory posts. “He is using social media to spread lies and defame me,” she said.
Surekha’s accusations have sent shockwaves through the political and film circles. The BRS party has not yet commented on the allegations. However, KTR and the Akkineni family are expected to respond to the serious accusations. The situation has created a high-voltage drama, leaving the public waiting to see how the story unfolds.
