A ferocious political firestorm engulfed Hyderabad when savage posters portraying Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy enthroned like a puppet king with robotic arms flaunting corruption charges surfaced overnight around Gandhi Bhavan, the state Congress headquarters, exposing the government’s alleged secret deals, commission raj and broken promises in the harshest terms possible.
The viral artwork showed Revanth Reddy lounging on an imperial chair while mechanical limbs waved placards screaming “secret pact with KCR-KTR”, “brothers running real-estate mafia”, “monthly hafta to Delhi”, “temple demolitions”, “25 % commission on every file” and “free hand to rowdies”, ending with a mocking invitation to contact Gandhi Bhavan itself for further details.
Hours after the posters went up, Telangana Police swung into action on a minor GHMC employee’s complaint and arrested three senior BJP leaders in the dead of night: State Social Media Convenor Sumiran Komarraju, Core Committee member Ajay and Tatipamula Sai Kiran Goud, charging them under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections in what the party branded a blatant assault on free speech.

The BJP launched a blistering counter-attack, accusing Revanth Reddy of resurrecting Indira Gandhi’s Emergency-era dictatorship by weaponising police against legitimate political satire that merely voiced widespread public disgust over two years of governance failures, unkept guarantees and rising corruption.
National BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya led the charge, declaring Rahul Gandhi’s “mohabbat ki dukaan” a cruel joke while Congress governments crush dissent with midnight knocks, asserting the party should first fix its crumbling 3.25 states before preaching democracy, as the saffron brigade vowed nationwide agitation until the arrested leaders are freed and the authoritarian crackdown reversed.
