Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy accused the previous BRS government of causing significant injustice in irrigation projects, stating that former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao and his nephew T. Harish Rao deserved to be 'hanged' for it. Reddy invoked a quote by poet Kaloji Narayana Rao to emphasize his point, comparing the alleged exploitation to that of outsiders. The BRS party retaliated, accusing Reddy of wishing death upon its leaders. Reddy later clarified that while India is a democracy with fair trials, the alleged injustice was severe.
