Furthermore, Revanth Reddy criticized BRS President K. Chandrashekhar Rao for downplaying the issues related to the sinking of the Medigadda barrage piers as a "minor problem." He accused Rao of seeking sympathy and diverting attention by holding a meeting in Nalgonda. Revanth Reddy also questioned Rao's absence from the official visit to Medigadda, suggesting that he had no defense against the corruption allegations. Revanth Reddy also took a dig at the BJP for demanding a CBI probe into the matter. He insinuated that the BJP and BRS might collaborate to manipulate the situation, and their collusion would be revealed during the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
