KTR Questions Rahul Gandhi Over T-Shirt Protest Double Standards
BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) has once again targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with pointed questions. This time, KTR raised concerns about an incident that occurred during the Telangana Assembly sessions, sarcastically asking Rahul Gandhi to explain the situation.
During the assembly session on Monday, BRS MLAs wore specially designed T-shirts as part of a protest. The shirts were meant to highlight alleged ties between Telangana Congress Chief Revanth Reddy and industrialist Gautam Adani. However, when the MLAs attempted to enter the assembly wearing these T-shirts, the police stopped them. Authorities stated, “You are not allowed to enter the house wearing T-shirts.”
The incident sparked outrage among the BRS MLAs, who protested against what they called unfair treatment. Despite their objections, the police eventually arrested the protesting MLAs and removed them from the premises.
Following this, KTR took to social media to directly question Rahul Gandhi. He pointed out that Congress MPs, including Rahul Gandhi himself, had recently protested in Parliament by wearing T-shirts criticizing Prime Minister Modi’s alleged ties with Adani. KTR sarcastically asked why a similar protest was not permitted in the Telangana Assembly.
In his post, KTR addressed Rahul Gandhi, saying, “Dear Rahul Gandhi, what kind of double standard is this? If it is right for you to protest in Parliament wearing a T-shirt, why are we not allowed to expose the Adani-Revanth affair in the Telangana Assembly? Please tell me.”
KTR’s comments have sparked discussions in political circles, with many now waiting to see how Rahul Gandhi and Congress leaders will respond. The incident has also drawn attention to the differing approaches to protests in state assemblies and Parliament, raising broader questions about freedom of expression in political settings.
