Top leaders of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) reacted strongly to the comments made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the Khammam public meeting, and referred to AICC as ‘All India Corruption Committee’ in response to Mr.Gandhi terming BRS as ‘Bharat Rishtedaar Samithi’.
Minister for Finance and Health T. Harish Rao said the Congress had a history of looting the country and that was why it was named ‘Scamgress’ and the reason why people of the country had kept the party away from power in the last two elections. He reiterated that BRS was not the B-team of any party but the “team of the people, for the people and by the people”.
Since the Congress had lost the ability to take on BJP and free the country from its steel clutches, the BRS had taken up that responsibility, Mr.Harish Rao said. On Mr.Gandhi’s announcement that Congress would distribute podu land pattas after it came to power, he questioned how one could be blind to the ongoing exercise of distributing the pattas.
