KCR's black magic rituals at farmhouse led to collapse of SLBC tunnel: Minister Venkat Reddy
HYDERABAD: R&B Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Monday alleged that 'kshudra pooja' (black magic) performed by former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's family had led to the collapse of the SLBC tunnel. He claimed KCR might have conducted such rituals from his farmhouse, adding that he had personally fought for the SLBC project with former chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy. In an informal interaction with reporters, he accused BRS leaders of large-scale corruption in the Kaleshwaram project. 'If `50-60 crore was found with officials and engineers, imagine how much the leaders made. Even the BJP has alleged Kaleshwaram became an ATM for the BRS,' he said. Venkat charged that under the banner of 'Bangaru Telangana', BRS rulers had created a 'Beggars Telangana'. He said BRS was plagued by internal feuds and alleged that its paid social media workers, operating from abroad, were spreading disinformation against the government. 'We are not resorting to vendetta politics. Don't expect AP-style arrests here,' he said. Expressing confidence in the Congress' prospects, he said: 'Villains last only a few days, but our chief minister and we are evergreen heroes.' The minister said 96% of land acquisition for the Regional Ring Road had been completed.

BRS Is Now Dayyala Rajya Samithi, Says Telangana CM Revanth Reddy
Last Updated: The Chief Minister accused the BRS government of looting the state under the guise of 'Bangaru Telangana' for ten years. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy launched a fierce political attack against the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), branding it as DRS – Dayyala Rajya Samithi (Demons' Rajya Samiti). Addressing a public gathering in Turkapally village of Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, the Chief Minister said the BRS has lost its credibility and moral authority after a decade of what he called 'misrule and loot." Referring to remarks reportedly made by BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha, daughter of party chief K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), Revanth Reddy said, 'Even KCR's own daughter admitted he is surrounded by demons. And yet, the leader of these demons remains silent, hiding in his farmhouse. That is not BRS anymore, it's DRS – not Bharat Rashtra Samithi, but Deyyala Rajya Samithi. These demons must be driven out of Telangana. I will lead this fight—but I need the people to stand with me." The Chief Minister accused the BRS government of looting the state under the guise of 'Bangaru Telangana' for ten years. 'They demolished houses in Vasala Marri village claiming it would become a model village, but KCR never returned to it. The state was turned into a wasteland. ₹8 lakh crore in debt, no progress, and endless corruption. They failed the students, farmers, and activists who were the backbone of the Telangana movement," Revanth said. He went on to question how the BRS, despite having access to Rs 20 lakh crore in state resources, failed to complete the SLBC (Srisailam Left Bank Canal) project with just Rs 2,000 crore. 'Ten years in power and not a single major project completed. They disrespected the sanctity of Yadagirigutta and are now paying for their sins. Even their own leaders admit the party is haunted by demons," he added. The CM highlighted his government's commitment to development and transparency. He launched multiple development projects worth Rs 1,500 crore in the Aleru constituency during the event. 'We've restored Yadadri back to Yadagirigutta. We're making the temple accessible for autos and building a golden gopuram with 60 kilograms of gold. On the lines of TTD in Andhra, we've established YTDC in Telangana. Educational institutions in Yadagirigutta will be elevated to university status." The Chief Minister also emphasized his resolve to rejuvenate the Musi River and said, 'Despite opposition, we will clean the Musi River and fill it with Godavari waters. If rivers like Sabarmati and Ganga can be revived, why not Musi?" First Published: June 06, 2025, 21:47 IST
