During a public meeting in the Mulugu district of Telangana, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy leveled serious allegations against his political opponents, claiming they were performing occult rituals. Reddy suggested that these actions were intended to cause harm to the public, stating, "They want people to die." The comments have sparked a sharp exchange between the ruling party and the opposition.

Former minister T. Harish Rao, representing the opposition, responded to the Chief Minister's remarks by categorically denying the accusations. Rao dismissed the claims as entirely baseless and suggested that the Chief Minister is utilizing these inflammatory statements to divert public attention away from pressing governance issues. The disagreement highlights a growing tension between the two political factions, with the opposition framing the Chief Minister’s rhetoric as a tactical distraction rather than a genuine concern. As of now, no evidence has been provided by either side to substantiate the claims or the counter-claims regarding the nature of these political disputes.
