In defense, Kasthuri took to Twitter and wrote that the DMK ecosystem is attempting to discredit her by spreading misinformation about her loyalty to Telugu culture.
Kasthuri said, “All Telugu people are like my family. I request the Telugu media not to fall for the false news being spread by TN’s Goebbels and the anti-Hindu DMK network. The people of Andhra and Telangana will never be deceived by their lies. No one should dare insult my love and loyalty for the Telugu land that has given me love, family, and acceptance.”
