Telangana minister Konda Surekha refused to resign on Wednesday and challenged the Congress high command to dismiss her over alleged party discipline violations. Surekha met AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge in New Delhi to present her case after her daughter's August 19 outburst against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The chief minister reportedly pushed for firm action against her and former minister G Chinna Reddy. Surekha denied responsibility for her daughter's independent statements, rejected corruption allegations, and warned that action against her would provoke backlash from backward class communities. She also questioned why the chief minister faced no scrutiny.
