BRS says present controversy between Revanth and Pawan Kalyan is match‑fixing - The HinduPublished - June 02, 2026 09:28 pm IST - HYDERABADFormer Minister and MLA Jagadish Reddy dismissed the ongoing row between Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan as ‘match‑fixing’, alleging that both leaders were attempting to divert attention from real public issues.Speaking to reporters, Mr. Jagadish Reddy said the controversy was nothing more than political theatre. “This is only a drama being played by Mr. Revanth Reddy to distract people from real problems. Mr. Pawan Kalyan is speaking without maturity, claiming he was obstructed but not naming who obstructed him,” he remarked.He pointed out that Mr. Pawan Kalyan had risen to prominence due to the goodwill of Telangana’s people, and questioned whether holding a press meet could truly create legal complications. “If permission was denied, why not speak about those who denied it? Instead, he is dragging others into the issue. This clearly shows their match‑fixing,” Mr. Jagadish Reddy said.The former Minister argued that the matter had no connection to public concerns and should not be taken seriously. “This is not about people’s problems. There is no need to pay attention to it,” he concluded, framing the controversy as a diversionary tactic rather than a genuine political confrontation.Published - June 02, 2026 09:28 pm ISTSign in to unlock member-only benefits!Access 10 free stories every monthSave stories to read laterAccess to comment on every storySign-up/manage your newsletter subscriptions with a single clickGet notified by email for early access to discounts & offers on our products${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
