KTR Criticizes Revanth Reddy, Calls for BRS Comeback
Hyderabad: BRS Working President KT Rama Rao strongly criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, calling him a “thief” who had taken the CM’s chair. Speaking at a BRS workers’ meeting in Karimnagar on Sunday, KTR said the people were not to blame for the party’s defeat. He claimed that hatred was spread against KCR to influence public opinion.
KTR stressed that BRS must return to power for the welfare of Telangana’s people. He urged party workers to attend a meeting in Warangal on April 27 in large numbers. He said this would silence those who think BRS is finished.
The BRS leader claimed that his party remained strong in Karimnagar, which holds sentimental value for KCR. He recalled that the first BRS public meeting, “Simhagarjana,” was held here in 2001, giving momentum to the Telangana movement. He also mentioned that when YS Rajasekhara Reddy mocked the demand for Telangana, KCR resigned, and Karimnagar voters supported him with a huge margin of two lakh votes.
KTR praised Karimnagar as a place that does not tolerate injustice or discrimination. He said that for the past 15 months, BRS had been keeping the ruling party under pressure and showing how a strong opposition should function. He mocked political opponents, saying, “When times are bad, even earthworms act like cobras, and village lions roar like cinema heroes.” He also accused both BJP and Congress of being enemies of Telangana’s interests.
Talking about farmers’ struggles, KTR said that people across Telangana were suffering under Congress rule. He claimed that farmers were in distress as crops were drying up, and without the Rythu Bandhu scheme, they were facing financial difficulties. He added that many farmers were struggling to get loan waivers and now missed KCR’s leadership.
KTR expressed confidence that BRS would return to power. He warned that those harassing BRS workers would not be spared. “Even if they retire and flee to another country, we will bring them back and settle all scores,” he said. He declared that it was time for a “new reckoning” for the party’s revival.
