The Telangana minister had previously accused BRS leader KTR of having links to drug-related groups and claiming participation in Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu's divorce. Surekha also accused Rama Rao of bringing female performers to narcotics, claiming that he rendered them addicted.

Telugu Film Industry is known worldwide for its creativity and professionalism. I've had a great journey in this beautiful industry and still very much connected.
It pains to hear such baseless and vicious rumours being spread about the women of this fraternity. What's more…

"The reason for injustice to Samantha is KTR. Two to three heroines have also got married early due to drug cases. Rakul Preet got married and other two to three heroines as well. Why do we have to bear this headache (of the drug cases) and get married soon? With the power they had previously, they tapped phones, made records and threatened them," she said.
