During a recent session, Congress leader Revanth Reddy alleged the use of black magic, prompting debate in the Telangana Legislative Assembly.
In a surprising turn of events, Congress MP Revanur Reddy took the floor of the Telangana Legislative Assembly to claim that black magic was being employed in political dealings. He asserted that certain actions and decisions appeared to be influenced by occult practices, urging the house to investigate the matter.
Reddy’s remarks were delivered during a routine question‑hour session, where he highlighted the need for transparency and warned that such alleged supernatural interference could undermine democratic processes. He called on the opposition and the ruling party alike to address the issue seriously.
Members of the assembly responded with a mix of skepticism and curiosity. While some legislators dismissed the claim as sensational, others demanded that any concrete evidence be presented before formal action could be taken. The Speaker reminded the house of procedural rules governing unparliamentary language.
The episode has sparked a broader conversation about the role of superstition in Indian politics, with political analysts noting that allegations of black magic, though rare, occasionally surface in heated electoral contests. No formal inquiry has been launched yet, and the matter is expected to be revisited in subsequent sessions.
