Hyderabad, June 10: Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan will approach the Supreme Court on Thursday after the Election Commission denied her relief regarding her disqualification for the Rajya Sabha nomination from Madhya Pradesh. This controversy has intensified political rhetoric in Telangana.
Congress MP Chamalakiran Kumar Reddy filed a complaint on Wednesday at the Central Crime Station in Hyderabad against several social media accounts. He alleged that these accounts were spreading malicious and misleading information against Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
The complaint specifically named social media handles, including ‘Telugu Scribe,’ claiming they propagated the narrative that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy orchestrated the cancellation of Natarajan’s nomination. Reddy has called for a thorough investigation and the filing of an FIR regarding the matter.
In his complaint, Reddy stated that the implicated social media accounts and their affiliates attempted to tarnish the Chief Minister’s image by disseminating fake news and plotting politically. He accused a digital network linked to opposition parties of trying to destabilize the democratic government and disrupt social peace.
According to the MP, posts on social media platforms X and Instagram claimed that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy secretly shared information about an old legal case involving Natarajan with BJP leaders, leading to her nomination’s cancellation.
During a press conference, Chamalakiran Kumar Reddy also targeted the BJP and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), alleging that both parties were colluding to undermine the Congress government and create political instability in Telangana.
He clarified that there is only a private complaint against Meenakshi Natarajan and that it does not need to be represented as a ‘case’ in Form-26 under the Representation of the People Act.
