Newsroom, January 19, 2026: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy addressed TDP cadre in Khammam, urging them to dismantle BRS platforms, flagpoles, and symbols across villages.
He framed the move as a tribute to TDP founder N T Rama Rao, praising NTR's legacy in welfare schemes and Telugu pride while accusing the BRS of trying to erase TDP's presence in the state.
Revanth linked honouring NTR to politically defeating the BRS and ensuring continued support for TDP leaders like Chandrababu Naidu.
The call drew fierce criticism from BRS leaders, including K T Rama Rao and T Harish Rao, who accused Revanth of inciting violence, abandoning law and order duties, and exposing cross-party alignments.
No direct Andhra Pradesh government reaction emerged, but the remarks highlight ongoing Telugu-state political ties through TDP's shared history.
