Hyderabad: Senior politician Konda Surekha has taken a defiant stance amid the ongoing war of words with Telangana Former IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao (KTR). Speaking at a public event today, Surekha declared that she would not backtrack on her recent comments about KTR and refused to offer any apologies, stating instead that it is KTR who owes her an apology.
“I will not withdraw my remarks, nor will I apologize. It is KTR who should apologize to me,” Surekha asserted. Her statement comes amidst rising political tensions between her and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leadership.
Surekha, a prominent leader and former Minister in Telangana, has been vocal in her criticism of KTR in recent times. Her comments, perceived as controversial by the TRS camp, have led to heated debates and sharp exchanges between her supporters and those backing KTR. The conflict has captured public attention as the state gears up for crucial elections.
Surekha emphasized that her remarks were in response to what she perceived as a disrespectful attitude by KTR towards her and other senior leaders. She reiterated her demand for KTR to take responsibility for his words and actions.
The TRS leadership has yet to respond formally to Surekha’s latest challenge, but political analysts believe this dispute could have significant implications for the upcoming state elections.
As the political climate intensifies, this confrontation between two influential leaders is likely to remain a focal point of discussions in Telangana’s political circles.
Political Landscape in Flux
This exchange of words comes at a critical juncture for the TRS as they attempt to consolidate power and tackle the opposition ahead of state elections. Surekha, a seasoned political figure, holds considerable sway in certain regions, and her opposition to KTR could influence voter sentiment in key constituencies.
Observers will be closely watching how this standoff plays out and whether it will impact the strategies of both camps as election season draws near.
