Hyderabad: Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao filed a formal complaint with Cybercrime Police against the BRS, alleging that the party spread false propaganda about him before the Jubilee Hills by-election. He accused BRS leaders of fabricating messages that claimed he urged the Kamma community to support BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha.
Condemning the false campaign, Thummala said such political tricks exposed BRS’s fear of defeat. “Elections should be fought with integrity and truth, not through lies,” he remarked. Moreover, he appealed to people to verify facts before believing social media posts that attempt to mislead voters.

Thummala clarified that he never made any appeal to the Kamma community or to any group. He said the BRS deliberately created the rumour to confuse voters and damage his public image. “People of Telangana can clearly distinguish between truth and propaganda,” he stated.
Furthermore, the minister urged the Kamma community and Congress supporters not to fall for fabricated content. He also requested every political party to campaign with dignity and follow democratic principles. “When parties rely on falsehoods, they insult the intelligence of voters,” he said.
Meanwhile, campaigning in Jubilee Hills has intensified further. The Congress, BRS, and BJP are conducting back-to-back rallies, corner meetings, and media drives. With only four days left for polling, all three parties are competing aggressively for voter attention.
