Ace film director S S Rajamouli's comments on the Telangana government led by Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao have sparked a heated debate in political and film circles.
These comments have fueled speculations about whether Rajamouli is promoting the "Telangana development model" being propagated by KCR.
Rajamouli attended the inaugural event of a multi-specialty hospital in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, on Sunday, along with Health Minister T Harish Rao.
During his address at the meeting, Rajamouli praised the Telangana government for its comprehensive development of the state over the past nine years.
Furthermore, Rajamouli expressed his admiration for Harish Rao, referring to him as a dedicated and hardworking individual.
According to Rajamouli, Telangana has made rapid progress in the last nine years, with Siddipet's development under the leadership of Harish Rao serving as a testament to the state's overall growth.
Rajamouli's accolades have provided a boost to the ruling BRS party, particularly as Assembly elections are approaching.
The party's social media wing promptly disseminated Rajamouli's comments on various social media platforms to gain political advantage and counter the opposition's criticism regarding the lack of development in Telangana under KCR's regime.
Notably, superstar Rajnikanth, who recently visited Vijayawada in April, also showered praises on the KCR government for transforming Hyderabad into a city comparable to New York.
Rajnikanth mentioned being astonished by the world-class roads, flyovers, and skyscrapers when he visited areas like Hitech City and Jubilee Hills during nighttime for a film shoot.
The BRS social media wing capitalized on Rajnikanth's comments, making them viral on social media platforms.
With Rajamouli now joining in praising Telangana's development, BRS leaders are ecstatic and assert that both Rajnikanth and Rajamouli are endorsing KCR's "Telangana development model."
