Remarks on Celebrities Become a Headache for Congress
Konda Surekha, known as a firebrand leader in politics, is usually respectful and often addresses everyone as “anna” (brother). However, her recent comments have raised eyebrows and turned controversial. Despite her decades of political experience, this time her words seem to have gone out of control.
Her harsh criticism of KTR (K. T. Rama Rao) and the use of inappropriate language has drawn criticism from various quarters. If she had kept her remarks focused on political issues, they would have been accepted as part of the political discourse. However, her personal attacks and the use of offensive language have created significant problems for her.
Comments Against KTR Fueled by Anger
In response to trolling against her, Konda Surekha lashed out at KTR and even extended her criticism to Tollywood celebrities. Her comments have upset not just political figures but also the general public, with many expressing their displeasure on social media.
Reactions from Mahesh Babu and Chiranjeevi
Superstar Mahesh Babu was quick to respond to Konda Surekha’s remarks, condemning her comments. He expressed his disappointment, stating that such remarks from a woman minister were inappropriate. Megastar Chiranjeevi also criticized Konda Surekha’s statements, particularly those targeting Nagarjuna’s family. He remarked that such comments were not only degrading to celebrities but also disrespectful to women.
Konda Apologizes for Comments on Samantha
Minister Konda Surekha later retracted her comments on actress Samantha. Tagging Samantha in a tweet, she issued a public apology, stating that she had no intention of causing her any distress. She also acknowledged Samantha’s hard-earned success and admired her as a role model for many.
In conclusion, this controversy seems to have left a mark on Konda Surekha’s political career. Although her prompt retraction of the comments is seen as a positive move, it is clear that this episode may have a lasting negative impact on her reputation.
