KTR Defends Father KCR, Slams CM Reddy’s “Abusive” Language

Hyderabad, December 26, 2025 – Tensions flared between the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the ruling Congress party in Telangana as BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. The press conference followed the BRS’s successful recruitment of several Congress leaders from the Serilingampally constituency.

KTR accused Reddy of using “abusive” language against his father, former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), and questioned whether a son wouldn’t be angered by such disrespect towards a father who fought for and achieved Telangana’s statehood. He emphasized KCR’s accomplishments and questioned why Reddy was focusing on his education in Guntur. He even brought up the fact that Reddy’s daughter was married to an Andhra person, implying a hypocrisy in Reddy’s statements.

“If a son can’t take pride in the achievements of his father, who else would?” KTR questioned, alluding to Reddy’s alleged criticism of KCR.

KTR also claimed that Reddy was already “sweating” due to KCR’s recent press conference and that the Chief Minister would be “unsettled” if KCR were to attend the Assembly. He alluded to KCR’s political influence and implied that Reddy was intimidated by his presence.

While condemning the Chief Minister’s alleged language, KTR stated he too could reciprocate with similarly harsh words in various languages, but was refraining from doing so out of respect for the Chief Minister’s position.

The exchange marks a significant escalation in the political tensions between the BRS and the Congress party in Telangana, suggesting a potentially combative atmosphere in the upcoming Assembly sessions.
