Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy made serious allegations in the state Assembly, claiming that opposition BRS party leaders intentionally disrupted proceedings to avoid discussion on critical public issues. The Chief Minister accused them of fearing exposure of alleged “black magic rituals” that were supposedly performed to bring drought conditions to the state. The dramatic accusation came during heated exchanges in the legislative session, marking a new low in the ongoing political confrontation between the ruling Congress government and the opposition.
During his address, CM Revanth Reddy emphasized his government’s commitment to protecting women’s dignity and maintained that the Speaker’s chair must remain above party politics. He defended Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, describing him as a straightforward person who speaks his mind without hesitation. The Chief Minister’s defense came amid opposition criticism targeting the Revenue Minister over various administrative matters.
The Chief Minister also addressed the controversy surrounding the 22A land issues, alleging that certain individuals were deliberately portraying these matters as a ghost story to spread misinformation. He claimed that Revenue Minister Srinivas Reddy was being specifically targeted due to personal animosity rather than legitimate policy concerns. The 22A land classification has been a contentious topic in Telangana, involving questions about land use and revenue records.
The allegations about black magic rituals for drought represent an unusual turn in political discourse in the state Assembly. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy suggested that the opposition’s disruptive behavior was a deliberate strategy to prevent these sensitive matters from being discussed in the House. He maintained that his government would continue to focus on public welfare issues despite attempts to derail legislative proceedings through disruptions.
