Revanth Reddy dares KCR to attend September Telangana Assembly session
Two big groups of leaders in a place called Telangana are having a big argument.
One group is in charge of the state right now, and the other group was in charge before.
The leader in charge, Mr. Revanth Reddy, says the old leaders should come to the big meeting house, called the Assembly, and talk about what they did.
He says the old government left behind a huge amount of debt, so now the state has to pay a lot of money every year.
He also says his group has given jobs to 70,000 people.
The old leaders, from a group called BRS, say Mr. Reddy is saying bad things about them.
One of them, Mr. Harish Rao, is angry and says he will complain to the court.
He also says the government has not done things it promised, like helping farmers.
Both sides are asking people to support them.
The big meeting, called the Assembly session, will happen in September.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the Assembly session will be convened in September and challenged BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao to attend.
Reddy accused the previous BRS government of leaving an Rs 8.11 lakh crore debt burden, with current annual repayments of Rs 75,000 crore.
He claimed the Congress government has filled 70,000 vacancies since assuming office in December 2023.
Reddy alleged that K T Rama Rao pushed his sister K Kavitha out of the home over property and that BRS provoked youth during the Telangana statehood agitation.
BRS MLA T Harish Rao called the CM's comments 'cheap' and said he will file a defamation suit, while questioning the government on corruption, incomplete farm loan waiver and fertiliser supply.
