Those indulging in wrongdoing are bound to face inquiries, says CM

CM Revanth Reddy asserts law will investigate wrongdoings, countering BRS leaders' objections to notices served on KCR.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy presents the veteran Communist leader Raavi Narayana Reddy national award to Justice (retd) B. Sudharshan Reddy on February 2, 2026.

In a strong counter to those raising objections against notices served on former Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy asserted that those indulging in wrongdoings are bound to face inquiries in line with the law.

The Chief Minister took a dig at the BRS leaders for calling Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao as “Telangana’s fatherly figure” and questioning the rationale behind serving notices on him. “Father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi sacrificed his life for the country. What is the contribution of this self acclaimed ‘fatherly figure’?” he asked.

The Chief Minister was speaking after presenting the veteran Communist leader Raavi Narayana Reddy national award to Justice (retd) B. Sudharshan Reddy here on Monday (February 02). He recalled how Telangana ideologue and professor M. Kodandaram was arrested after police gatecrashed into his house during the BRS regime. “Was Mr. Kodandaram not instrumental in bringing together the agitators for separate State? Why did not the then Government remember his contribution to the statehood movement?” he asked.

In sharp contrast, the special investigation team served notices on him (Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao) to attend questioning and did not barge into his house. “Leaders like Raavi Narayana Reddy sacrificed everything for the sake of Telangana. How can people who enjoyed posts and amassed huge wealth call themselves as agitators for Telangana’s cause?”

Mr. Revanth Reddy said the BRS leaders ought to have accepted the people's verdict when they were defeated at the hustings. “But they are faulting the people for the results. What kind of democracy is this?” he said, recalling that Dr. B.R. Ambedkar had asserted that people indulging in wrongdoings should face inquiries. Senior leaders like Shibu Soren too faced inquires and probe into wrongdoings was inevitable in a democracy.
