Hyderabad, August 28, 2026: Telangana Endowments Minister Konda Surekha met Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at his residence on Friday and tied a rakhi to him on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, marking a symbolic gesture of goodwill.

The meeting gained political significance as it was the first interaction between the two leaders since a controversy erupted over remarks made by Ms. Surekha’s daughter, Konda Sushmitha, against the Chief Minister. The incident had strained relations within the ruling Congress party and prompted the party leadership to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the Minister.

The Raksha Bandhan meeting is being viewed as an effort to ease tensions within the party, though there has been no official statement indicating any change in the ongoing disciplinary process.If you’d like, I can also rewrite this in a TV news script, web news, or social media style.
