Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Minister K.T. Rama Rao claimed that the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were determined to defeat Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao as they were worried that his entry into national politics would expose their ‘failed governance’ model.
“The attacks on Mr. KCR have increased ever since he announced his entry into national politics with the launch of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS). However, Mr. KCR will return to power in Telangana for the third time irrespective of the opposition parties’ dreams and efforts,” Mr. Rama Rao said.
Mr. Rama Rao was speaking after admitting Jitta Balakrishna Reddy, who joined the Congress from the BJP a few weeks ago, into the BRS along with other leaders here on Friday.
