A Congress notice has embarrassed a Telangana minister after his daughter publicly criticised Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.
The Telangana unit of the Indian National Congress has served a formal notice to a state minister following a public outburst by his daughter targeting Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. The daughter’s remarks, made during a social media livestream, accused the CM of alleged misgovernance and were widely shared online, prompting the party to intervene.
The minister, whose name was not disclosed in the notice, issued a brief statement expressing regret over his daughter’s comments and affirmed his commitment to uphold the decorum expected of public representatives. He also indicated that he would cooperate fully with the party’s disciplinary process.
Political analysts note that the episode underscores the heightened tensions between the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi and the opposition Congress in the run‑up to upcoming local elections. The notice is seen as a move by Congress to signal that it will not tolerate personal attacks on the chief minister, while also attempting to keep the minister’s party affiliation in check.
