BJP targeted Congress government

BJP MP Anurag Thakur criticized the reaction of the Congress government and said that some people are trying to defame Telugu actors.

He said that Telugu actors have given global recognition to Indian cinema. In the last few years, Allu Arjun won the National Award, Chiranjeevi received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Films like RRR, Pushpa, KGF, Bahubali have taken Indian cinema to new heights. Instead of creating controversy, security should be taken care of and politics should not be done.

At the same time, BJP leader Amit Malviya alleged that the Congress government led by Revanth Reddy is targeting Tollywood.
