Konda Surekha Blames KTR for Drug Scandal in Film Industry

Hyderabad: Minister for Forest and Endowments Konda Surekha on Wednesday made sensational allegations against BRS working president KT Rama Rao, holding him responsible for the separation of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha.

She accused KTR of playing with the lives of actresses and introducing them to drugs.

Speaking to the media after participating in the Gandhi Jayanthi programme at Bapughat here, Surekha said, "Does KTR not have a mother, sister, or aunt? He has been manipulating the lives of actresses, making them addicted to drugs, tapping their phones, and pushing them towards early marriages, forcing them to leave the film industry."

She further alleged, "KT Rama Rao got addicted to drugs and made the film actress habitual to it as well. He organised rave parties and blackmailed them. Everyone in the film industry knows this. We don’t need the crocodile tears of BRS. Harish Rao responded with humanity, but where was the concern when I was being trolled?"

The Minister continued, "There were obscene posts made against me and GHMC Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi. I served in the BRS for five years and everyone knows my character. We have filed complaints against those responsible for these indecent posts,".

Surekha also criticised the deteriorating political values, saying, "If the State government makes mistakes, the opposition leaders should expose the failures. But attacking someone's character is unacceptable. Fake posts about me are being circulated through four social media accounts from Dubai".
