Telangana's Forests Minister Konda Surekha has triggered a massive controversy with her allegations against Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader KT Rama Rao - linking him with the divorce of actors Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, drugs and blackmail. Mr Rao has sent her a legal notice, accusing her of defamation. Her comments have also drawn a sharp response from Naga Chaitanya's father, veteran Telugu actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, who said her remarks are "completely irrelevant and false" and demanded that she withdraws them.
