Rumors regarding the potential arrest of Telangana Minister KTR have been circulating over the past few days, with KTR himself declaring that he is ready to face arrest if necessary. In response to this, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s recent remarks have gone viral. Revanth sarcastically commented that people are eagerly waiting for KTR to go to jail, adding that those who go to jail often end up becoming Chief Ministers. He further joked that KTR’s sister, Kavitha, had already gone to jail, leaving no room for KTR to claim that opportunity. Revanth also took a dig at KTR’s decade-long ministerial career, urging him to move away from petty political antics.
జైలుకు పోయి వచ్చినోళ్లంతా సీఎం అయితారని సంబరపడుతున్నాడేమో…
ఆ లెక్కన చూసినా.. ముందు వాళ్ళ చెల్లే జైలుకు పోయి వచ్చింది..!
ఇగ ఆ ఛాన్స్ కూడా ఈయనకి లేనట్లే🤣 :CM @revanth_anumula pic.twitter.com/FJqxL2G7Uw— TPCC – Media & Communications (@TPCCMEDIA_COMM) November 26, 2024
Jail Sentiment in Indian Politics
The “jail sentiment” has been a subject of ongoing discussion in Indian politics. The trend became more pronounced after the TDP’s victory in the Andhra Pradesh elections and the return of Chandrababu Naidu as Chief Minister. Revanth Reddy himself had faced jail time in connection with various cases before becoming Chief Minister, mirroring the path of YS Jagan, who also spent time in jail before eventually securing his political success. Despite his imprisonment, Jagan’s political fortunes reversed after his defeat in the 2014 elections, leading to a sweeping victory in 2019.
In a similar vein, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, who also faced jail time, returned to power following a resounding victory in recent elections. This ongoing discussion about “jail sentiment” continues to gain traction on both social media and mainstream media platforms, with Revanth’s comments fueling further debate on the subject.
