According to the Deccan Chronicle, the complainants alleged that the AP government had issued an order to remove parts mentioning Telangana tribal women warriors Sammakka and Saralamma and some other parts mentioning other historical figures.

The complaint lodged with the Saroornagar police, demands that a case be registered against Naidu.
