Revanth Reddy will take Congress MLAs and join BJP after elections, KTR slams 'RSS leader'

HYDERABAD: Calling BJP and Congress leaders like Kishan Reddy and Revanth Reddy political pygmies, BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) said that those leaders don’t have the stature to fight against Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) who risked his life to fight for Telangana Statehood. He added that Kishan Reddy was someone who ran away when asked to resign during the Telangana movement and Revanth Reddy was a thief who was caught red-handedly in the cash-for-vote case.

KTR made these above comments while addressing a series of meetings in Shadnagar, Raviryal, Vikarabad, and Kukatpally constituencies while participating in various development works.

Slamming the Congress party, KTR said, “Telangana people don't need parties who sell seats and buy votes. Congress will win in 10 places and then Revanth Reddy will take these MLAs and join the BJP after the election as Revanth is an RSS leader."

Talking about the electricity problems people faced during the rule of Congress in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, KTR said that it was ironic that Congress leaders were speaking about these problems now.

He said that industries no longer give power holidays and people don’t suffer from power problems at home.

“Congress leaders like Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said that he would resign if we prove that electricity is being supploed for 24 hrs in the State. We will arrange buses for all the Congress leaders. Let them come and hold electric wires and check for themselves,” said KTR.

Comparing the governance of KCR and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, KTR said, "KCR is offering schemes like Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bheema and uninterrupted and free power supply to farmers, while Modi promised to double farmers' income by 2022 but did nothing.

He added that farmer income could be doubled only by introducing farmer-friendly schemes and policies, and not by speaking high-rhetoric.

“BJP says BRS is Congress’ B team and Congress says BRS is BJP’s B team. But these people should realize that BRS is A team of the people of Telangana,” said KTR. He added that the BJP was bringing money from Adani and Congress was bringing money from Karnataka to win. "Take that money but vote for the BRS," he said.

KTR said that the Telangana Government is giving top priority to the green revolution (agriculture), white revolution (milk production), blue revolution (fisheries), pink revolution (meat), and yellow revolution (edible oil) to make the State self-reliant. Today Telangana is showing the path to the nation, he added.
