KTR hits back at Revanth Reddy over hotel assets allegations
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has alleged that BRS working president K T Rama Rao (KTR) owns star hotels in Hyderabad's HITEC City and has investments in the US and Singapore. Speaking in Sircilla on Wednesday (30 September 2026), Reddy said KTR's family holds directorships in At Home Hospitality Services Pvt Ltd, which runs Deccan Serai HITEC City and Deccan Serai Grand Hotel, besides serviced apartments. He questioned how KTR could own hotels with over 400 rooms while claiming he had no suitable house in Hyderabad.
KTR responded on Thursday (1 October 2026), thanking Reddy for 'free publicity'. He said he disclosed his hotels in his 2009 affidavit and started his first hotel in 2006 with money earned in the US. 'If I had not entered politics, I would have built 10 hotels,' KTR said. He challenged Reddy to agree to an inquiry by a Supreme Court judge into the assets of both families. The exchange comes as both parties trade allegations over landholdings and disproportionate assets.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Greatandhra.com's neutral-report approach provides corporate registration details and names of directors, letting readers assess the assets claim independently. M9.news leads with KTR's mocking tone and presents his counter-attack as the story's main thrust, downplaying the substance of the allegations. The two outlets differ only in emphasis: greatandhra.com gives space to both the CM's claims and the company structure, while m9.news frames the episode as a personal battle. Together the coverage shows a familiar pattern: the CM offers documentary-style claims, and KTR responds with personal narrative and a challenge for a judicial inquiry. The next move is up to the CM, who must either take up KTR's challenge or produce further evidence as Congress leaders have promised.
