'Time to put controversy to rest': TPCC President Mahesh in video appeal
New Indian ExpressHYDERABAD: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Thursday sought to douse the raging controversy ignited by Endowments Minister Konda Surekha’s comments on the Samantha-Naga Chaitanya divorce by appealing to both the film fraternity and Congress politicians to put the matter to rest. Mahesh’s appeal came after a deluge of tweets and statements from various quarters, especially from the film fraternity, extending support to the Akkineni family and criticising the minister. “The minister, apart from retracting her comments in front of the media, also tweeted her retraction on X,” the TPCC chief said. Mahesh said that Surekha’s intention was to question Rama Rao’s attitude of belittling women and not to hurt the sentiments of anyone from the film industry.
