Warangal West MLA Naini Rajender Reddy on Saturday, 10 October, accused former chief minister and BRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao of dividing Warangal district unscientifically for political gains, undermining its historical identity and harming youth employment. Congress workers marked ten years since the district reorganisation by burning KCR's effigy at a rally from DCC Bhavan to Ashoka Junction in Hanumakonda.

Naini said the division ignored Warangal's Kakatiya heritage, including the Warangal Fort and Thousand Pillar Temple, and prioritised political calculations over administrative convenience. He alleged that Warangal's development was neglected in favour of Siddipet. The MLA stated Congress was not opposed to reorganisation but objected to how Warangal was carved up, and vowed to continue fighting for the region's rights.
Both thehansindia.com and deccanchronicle.com carry near-identical wire copy reporting the same protest, the same allegations by MLA Naini Rajender Reddy, and the same demand that the BRS explain losses from the reorganisation. The coverage is uniform straight reporting: neither outlet adds its own framing, omits a key detail, or injects editorial judgement. Both present Naini's criticism of KCR without any balancing comment from the BRS, meaning the story is entirely from one political side. The concrete next step is Naini's stated vow to continue the fight, but no date, hearing or official response is named in either source.
