Former Telangana Minister Konda Surekha has withdrawn her October 2024 remarks about BRS working president KT Rama Rao and expressed regret in a post on X. She stated that her comments, made while criticising the Opposition, were not intentional and should be seen as political criticism rather than personal attacks. Konda Surekha said she regretted if her remarks had hurt KT Rama Rao or his family and formally withdrew them. The move follows a defamation suit filed by actor Nagarjuna, father of A Naga Chaitanya, over her remarks linking KT Rama Rao to the actor's divorce from Samantha.
The apology has sparked speculation about her political intentions, with some suggesting it may be an attempt to rejoin the BRS. Konda Surekha was dropped from the State Cabinet earlier in the year after her daughter, Konda Sushmitha, alleged corruption involving Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. Her post has drawn mixed reactions on social media, with some welcoming the gesture and others questioning its timing and motive.
