Chamala alleges BRS using Telangana sentiment to target CM Revanth
Two big political groups in the Indian state of Telangana are arguing with each other.
One group, the Congress, has a leader named Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy who has made some serious accusations.
He says the other group, called the Bharat Rashtra Samithi or BRS, is telling stories that are not true about Telangana's chief minister, Revanth Reddy.
He says BRS is spreading the story that the chief minister is working together with the leader of the neighbouring state, Andhra Pradesh.
Mr. Chamala thinks BRS is doing this to make people angry about things like water and other state matters.
He also says BRS is using the internet and social media to spread these stories.
Chamala believes BRS just wants to make the chief minister's government look bad.
He says BRS lost many elections and now mostly talks to people through social media.
In a democracy, parties often disagree, and this is one of those disagreements.
Bhongir MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy accused BRS of reviving Telangana sentiment to target Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
He alleged BRS is falsely claiming Revanth Reddy is aligned with Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu.
Chamala said BRS leaders were provoking people over water issues to create unnecessary political sentiment.
He accused BRS working president KT Rama Rao and senior leader T Harish Rao of running social media campaigns to tarnish the Congress government's image.
Chamala claimed BRS has been reduced to operating mainly through social media after repeated electoral setbacks.
