BRS working president KTR often targets Telangana CM Revanth Reddy with political criticism. On Saturday, a major fire broke out in the computer section of the Forensic Lab, drawing immediate public attention.
One person injured in the incident was shifted to a hospital. The fire reportedly continued for nearly two hours. Officials fear several important documents may have been destroyed in the accident.
KTR reacted to the incident with a sarcastic remark on social media. He suggested that voice recordings related to the “vote for note” case might have been destroyed in the fire.
The case refers to allegations that Revanth Reddy attempted to bribe an MLC during a Telangana Legislative Council election. Revanth Reddy has denied the allegations, even though he was jailed earlier in connection with the case.
KTR also commented on the phone tapping controversy. He said evidence linked to the lack of proof in that case might also have been destroyed in the fire, raising further political speculation.
The remarks come at a time when municipal elections are approaching. CM Revanth Reddy has been criticising BRS leaders over past issues. Political exchanges between both sides have intensified.
However, some netizens criticised KTR’s reaction to the incident. Many believe the fire at the Forensic Lab is a serious matter. They feel political comments should have been avoided at such a time.
