On Sunday morning, a significant controversy erupted in Hyderabad and Telangana surrounding an event at the home of Raj Pakala, the brother-in-law of BRS Working President KTR. The media and social media platforms buzzed with speculation, prompting reactions from BRS leaders and a statement from KTR himself. He clarified, “This wasn’t a farmhouse; it’s my brother-in-law Raj Pakala’s home. It was a family gathering. Do people even understand what a rave party is? There were elderly individuals and children present. Some are spreading falsehoods by labeling it a rave party,” effectively putting the rumors to rest.
KTR vehemently denied the unfounded rumors circulating on social media and in the press throughout the day, stating they were baseless. He reiterated that the gathering took place at his brother-in-law’s residence and not at a farmhouse. KTR took issue with reports that described the event as a rave party, stressing that it was merely a family celebration.
He further explained that Raj Pakala had recently hosted a housewarming ceremony, inviting family and friends to join in the celebration at home. KTR expressed his frustration with the media for mischaracterizing the event, noting that various reports suggested it included both men and women. He clarified that the attendees were primarily family members and close friends, with guests ranging from 4-year-old children to 70-year-old seniors, including his mother-in-law.
Addressing the allegations of drug use, KTR asserted that no drugs were found at the family gathering. He challenged claims that an individual had consumed drugs, demanding to know where that person had obtained them and calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
KTR reiterated that it has been confirmed that no one consumed drugs at the event and that police reports support this assertion. He expressed disappointment at the portrayal of their relatives as suspicious figures by labeling them as men and women, emphasizing that they are couples. In a bold move, he invited the Congress party to engage with him politically if they have the capability. KTR urged them to concentrate on fulfilling the promises they made, rather than diverting attention to unfounded rumors.
This incident highlights the ongoing political tensions in the region and the importance of addressing misinformation in the media. As the situation develops, it remains crucial to distinguish between fact and fiction in political discourse.
