The Story in Brief
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, visited Sircilla, the constituency of BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao, and laid foundation stones for development works worth Rs 345.78 crore. The Hindu reports Reddy alleged that BRS leaders amassed wealth during their decade-long rule while weavers and farmers suffered. Telugu360.com reports Reddy named specific properties including Deccan Serai, At Home serviced apartments and three five-star hotels near Hitec City, challenging Rama Rao to release a White Paper on family properties.
Telanganatoday.com reports the BRS hit back, accusing Reddy of using a government platform for political attacks. Former minister S. Niranjan Reddy questioned the government's record on handloom sector promises. BRS MLA Vemula Prashanth Reddy said the assets of the BRS chief's family were already disclosed in election affidavits and challenged Reddy to publish his own properties. The Chief Minister promised to induct the next Congress MLA from Sircilla into the cabinet.
Update, 1 October 2026: Telanganatoday.com reports the BRS hit back at Revanth Reddy, accusing him of using a government platform for political attacks and questioning his own record on assets. BRS leaders said the Congress government had failed to implement poll promises for weavers and farmers.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Hindu and Telugu360.com report the Chief Minister's allegations in detail, naming specific properties and framing his visit as a political challenge to KTR. M9.news previews the visit as a significant political event. Telanganatoday.com's two reports adopt a different stance, emphasising the BRS's rebuttal and questioning the absence of concrete relief measures for weavers in Reddy's speech. The BRS response is reported without independent fact-checking of either side's claims. The coverage is split: one side frames the event as a legitimate political challenge, the other as an unsubstantiated attack. The next step is Reddy's promise to bring 'Part-2' of his disclosures in the Assembly.
