Calling Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s post on shortage of electricity and water in 2023 at OU “fake”, Krishank on Tuesday, April 30, shared the “original” notice, according to which there was no mention of any shortage in 2023.

This is original circular 12th May 2023 regarding Summer Vacation for Osmania University In 2023 power cut, water shortage was not mentioned… See the original circular & Fake one released by CM Revanth,” he said in the post on X.

It is CM Revanth who has posted a Fake Circular. I will surely fight back in Court !” he said, on X.
