The cancellation of Jr NTR’s “Devara” pre-release event in Hyderabad has sparked political controversy, with BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) criticizing the Congress government’s handling of the situation. The event, scheduled for last Sunday at Novotel, was called off due to an overwhelming turnout of fans that exceeded the venue’s capacity, resulting in chaos and property damage. KTR used this incident to highlight what he perceives as the Congress government’s failure in governance, contrasting it with the BRS party’s previous administration. He emphasized how under BRS rule, Hyderabad was developed into a global city with smooth management of various events, including movie pre-releases, religious processions, and traffic. KTR pointed out the current government’s inability to manage even a film event properly, extending his criticism to the worsening traffic situation in Hyderabad under Congress rule. He also touched upon the controversial HYDRA demolitions, pledging BRS support to those affected. This incident has become a focal point for broader political discussions about governance and event management in the city.
