Harish wants apology. Over which remark?

A BRS leader demanded an apology from CM Revanth Reddy this month — on record. The separate claim doing the rounds about “criminal waste” and engineering grads isn’t verified by any primary source.

A Telangana newsroom desk holds two newspaper clippings beside a sealed audio recorder and a magnifying glass; one clipping is marked as a verified apology demand, while another loose sheet carries an indistinct question mark. A Hyderabad government-building skyline appears through the window.

The verified apology demand concerns remarks on farming, not the unverified claim about engineering graduates.

T. Harish Rao has publicly demanded an apology from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy — but for remarks reported on July 12, not for any alleged comment about engineering graduates. According to a report that quoted Harish Rao directly, he called Revanth’s words “highly objectionable, violent and unbecoming of a chief minister” and said: “He must tender an unconditional public apology to the people of Telangana and the farming community.” The BJP-led Centre is not the target here; this dispute is squarely inside Telangana politics, and the Congress chief minister is the one asked to answer.

A separate claim circulating that Revanth called engineering graduates a “criminal waste” does not have a primary-source record — no video, transcript or official post located — and cannot be reported as fact. Without the original wording, date and context, it stays an allegation someone else wrote down. If the Congress side has a clarification, it can post the tape. Until then, the only verified demand for apology is the one Harish Rao made on the farming-remarks row, on the record.
