TPN , Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader Harish Rao criticized Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of politicizing the tragic Sandhya Theater incident to gain public sympathy. A stampede during the premiere of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theater resulted in the death of Revathi and injuries to her son, Sritej, who is currently receiving treatment at KIMS Hospital in Secunderabad.
Harish Rao, along with other BRS leaders, visited Sritej in the hospital and spoke to his father, Bhaskar. He assured them of better treatment for Sritej and conveyed his prayers for Revathi’s soul to rest in peace. He revealed that KCR had directed the leaders to provide courage and support to the grieving family.
Harish Rao criticized Revanth Reddy for allegedly attempting to “do good by scaring moviegoers” and accused him of using the tragedy for political gain. He questioned the CM’s inaction in other tragedies, such as deaths in gurukuls and hostels, and raised concerns about accountability within the government, particularly pointing to the alleged involvement of the CM's brother in a suicide case.
"The law should be equal for everyone," Harish Rao emphasized, demanding answers and accountability from the Chief Minister.
