KTR Criticizes CM Revanth Reddy, Accuses Him of BJP Ties
BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) has strongly criticized Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of secretly working for the BJP. He claimed that the CM has failed to address important issues like reservations for Backward Classes (BCs). KTR even challenged Revanth Reddy to go on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in Delhi to prove his commitment to BCs.
Speaking informally to the media, KTR alleged that Revanth Reddy had been working with the BJP for the past 15 months to slow down Telangana’s progress. He pointed to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks about ‘BJP agents’ within his party, suggesting that these comments were aimed at Revanth Reddy. “Rahul Gandhi’s statements in Rajasthan were clearly about Revanth Reddy,” KTR insisted.
KTR also questioned a recent meeting between Revanth Reddy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He claimed that although Revanth presented 11 proposals after the budget, the real purpose of the meeting was hidden. “Why was Minister Sridhar Babu asked to leave the meeting? What did Revanth discuss in private with Modi?” KTR asked, demanding that the CM reveal the details to the people of Telangana.
On the issue of BC reservations, KTR challenged Revanth Reddy to prove his commitment by holding an indefinite hunger strike in Delhi until a 42% reservation for BCs is secured. He reminded that the BRS had been demanding a caste census long before Rahul Gandhi brought it up. He also criticized Congress for not giving even 20 Assembly seats to BC candidates in the elections.
KTR further accused Revanth Reddy and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy of staging a drama to distract people from government failures. He dismissed the recent MLC election as mere social media hype, arguing that it wouldn’t bring any real benefits to the BJP. He also alleged that Congress and BJP were secretly working together to weaken regional parties like the BRS.
Looking ahead to the budget session, KTR predicted that the government would make more empty promises and try to divert public attention. He downplayed the importance of the graduate and teacher MLC elections, saying that the BRS had chosen not to contest them to focus on upcoming local body polls. He praised the party’s decision to nominate Dasoju Sravan, a BC leader and scholar, as an MLC, despite earlier opposition from the BJP.
Finally, KTR confirmed that BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) would attend the upcoming Assembly session for the Governor’s address.
