Allegations Rock Telangana: Inquiry Demanded Into Ministers' Conduct

Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar has called for an inquiry into media reports suggesting misconduct by Telangana ministers with women officers. The ruling Congress dismissed the allegations as baseless. The issue has sparked concerns over women's safety and accusations of political manipulation as elections approach.

Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar has urged Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to investigate allegations against state ministers reportedly involving inappropriate meetings with women officers. This follows media reports suggesting misconduct among officials.

The Congress party refuted these allegations, stating the claims lack substance. Addressing a gathering in Karimnagar, Kumar insisted that, if proven true, those involved should be relieved of their duties to maintain the integrity of the government.

The controversy coincides with rising political tension in the state. Some allege the charges are an attempt to tarnish Congress' image before the upcoming bypolls, with women's safety and political exploitation becoming focal points of discussion.
