Telangana CM Says Media Should Not Target Ministers
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asked media organisations not to drag his cabinet colleagues into media rivalries or publish unverified allegations that could tarnish the image of the state government. He made the remarks at a public event in Khammam, emphasising that news outlets should verify facts before reporting on ministers.
Clarifying Position
Revanth Reddy said that if there is a need for clarification on any issue involving ministers or legislators, the media should approach him directly. He stressed that his government does not tolerate corruption and urged journalists to avoid speculative or defamatory reporting that could mislead the public or create unnecessary controversy.
Focus on Governance
The Chief Minister reiterated that his administration remains focused on governance and development. He added that ministers are working collaboratively to implement government programmes and that the public should not be confused by sensational stories aimed at creating political discord.
Political Context
Revanth Reddy’s appeal comes amid a series of negative media reports involving state ministers that have sparked debate in political circles. The Chief Minister’s comments reflect his concern about media narratives potentially distracting from official work.
