CM Reddy alleges BRS leaders performed occult rituals seeking crisis
The Chief Minister of a state in India named Telangana said some leaders from another political party did secret rituals.
His name is A Revanth Reddy, and he is talking about leaders from the BRS party.
He said the leaders visited temples in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to perform occult rituals.
Reddy believes they did these rituals to cause a drought, so people would blame his government.
He also said the leaders were doing black magic to create problems in the state.
The BRS leaders say the claims are not true, and one of them, Harish Rao, sent a legal notice about similar accusations before.
Reddy reminded people of good things his government has done, like giving jobs, building houses, and helping farmers.
He challenged the BRS leader KCR to talk about the issue in the Assembly.
The BRS party has not replied to his newest accusations yet.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy alleged BRS leaders performed occult rituals and black magic seeking crises in the state.
Without naming him, Reddy referred to a former minister, identified in the report as BRS MLA T Harish Rao, who allegedly visited temples in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu for occult rituals.
Reddy challenged BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) to a debate in the Assembly over the allegations.
He cited Congress achievements including 70,000 government vacancies filled in a year, seven lakh houses built, and Rs 36,000 crore transferred to 70 lakh farmers under Rythu Bharosa.
On August 4, Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud alleged Harish Rao performed 'kshudra puja'; Harish Rao issued him a legal notice, and BRS has not responded to the CM's latest remarks.
