Controversies Dominated Year 2024 in Telangana

From phone-tapping allegations to the demolition of actor Nagarjuna's convention center, and from a Telangana minister's offensive comments on Naga Chaitanya-Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce to the arrest of actor Allu Arjun for a stampede at a theatre, controversies dominated 2024 in Telangana.

The Congress government's efforts to deliver on its poll promises, the Opposition's tirade over the government's failures, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi's struggle to bounce back after drawing a blank in the Lok Sabha elections and defections of its ten MLAs marked the year.

The arrest of BRS leader K. Kavitha by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi excise policy case, the arrest of three serving and a retired police official on allegations of phone tapping during the BRS rule, and the probe into some of the alleged scams during the previous regime were among the key developments that made headlines during the year.

The Congress government, which was only a few days old when it entered 2024, got down to work.

Opposition BRS and BJP targeted it for going back on its poll promises, including six guarantees, but the ruling party cited the Model Code of Conduct for Lok Sabha elections, which had come into effect in March, for the delay in implementation.

After losing power late last year, the BRS suffered more humiliation as it failed to win even a single Lok Sabha seat.
