The controversial program alleged that certain women IAS officers received preferred postings in exchange for sexual favours. The broadcast directly targeted Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, a Minister in Revanth Reddy's cabinet, making the issue politically sensitive and legally volatile.

Soon after the arrests, the BRS framed the episode as an attack on Freedom of Press. KTR and Harish Rao attempted to corner the government, while largely overlooking the impact of the allegations on the dignity and reputation of women officers.

ABN RK later added a new dimension in his Weekend column Kotha Paluku. He claimed the issue was rooted in a conflict between Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and Bhatti Vikramarka over the Naini Coal Mine Block auction, with NTV allegedly acting in Bhatti's interest.

According to the column, Bhatti and the son-in-law of NTV Chairman Chowdary are business partners. Komatireddy's brother is also pursuing the same coal block, turning the matter into a high-stakes internal power struggle within the government.

Bhatti Vikramarka later addressed the media and took an indirect dig at Revanth Reddy. He attempted to shift the narrative by suggesting ABN RK targeted him due to personal affiliations, indirectly dragging Revanth Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu into the controversy.

The issue soon escalated into a full-blown crisis within the Telangana Government. What began as a media versus government issue now appeared to be a clash between two senior ministers, raising questions about coordination between the Deputy CM and the Chief Minister.

After a prolonged silence, Revanth Reddy finally responded at a public meeting. He denied any possibility of a scam and stated that disputes between media owners should not involve his ministers or the government without proper verification.

The response was seen by many as restrained and cautious. Revanth Reddy avoided blaming the media directly and also refrained from openly defending or reprimanding his ministers, choosing a middle path under mounting pressure.

However, critics feel the controversial program did not air merely due to a media rivalry. They believe internal issues within the government played a role, making the Chief Minister's guarded response appear weak to some observers.

There is already a growing perception that Revanth Reddy lacks firm control over both the party and the administration. This episode has only intensified those concerns and may prompt the Congress High Command to closely review the situation in Telangana.
