Wed Oct 02 13:49:37 UTC 2024: ## Actor Nagarjuna Slams Minister for Accusations Against KTR and Samantha-Chaitanya Divorce
**Hyderabad, October 2, 2024:** Actor Nagarjuna Akkineni has publicly condemned Telangana Minister Konda Surekha for her recent comments linking Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) to the divorce of actors Samantha and Naga Chaitanya.
Surekha, a Congress leader, alleged that KTR played a role in the couple’s separation and claimed that several actresses have prematurely left the industry due to his influence. She also accused KTR of involvement in drug-related controversies and alleged that he used his position to blackmail individuals.
Nagarjuna, in a strongly worded statement on social media, dismissed Surekha’s claims as “completely irrelevant and false.” He urged the minister to withdraw her comments, emphasizing the need for respecting people’s privacy.
“Don’t use the lives of movie stars who stay away from politics to criticize your opponents,” Nagarjuna stated. “As a woman in a responsible position, your accusations against our family are unacceptable.”
Surekha’s accusations come amidst rising political tensions in Telangana. The Congress party is aggressively campaigning against the ruling BRS party, and KTR is a prominent figure within the party.
Nagarjuna’s public condemnation of Surekha’s statements is likely to further escalate the political debate. The incident has sparked a heated discussion on social media, with many expressing support for Nagarjuna and condemning Surekha’s accusations.
