Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy predicted that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) would not cross the 25-figure mark in the Assembly elections and that was why Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was frustrated that reflected in the recently concluded Assembly sessions.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Mr. Reddy said KCR used the entire time to abuse the Congress and blame it for all the problems in Telangana while conveniently forgetting that without Congress and Sonia Gandhi Telangana wouldn’t have been realised. “He praised Ms. Sonia Gandhi on the floor of the Assembly for delivering Telangana and now he is blaming Congress showcasing his hollowness,” he said. “This is nothing but frustration of the Chief Minister.”
He ridiculed the BRS’s claims of relating him to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and said while in TDP it was KCR who demanded the scrapping of GO 610 and also the Zonal system in employment. He advised IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao to listen to his father’s speech in the Assembly on how he had compromised with Telangana’s interests. “Unlike KCR, as a TDP member I obstructed the Governor’s speech in the Assembly for Telangana and got suspended and KTR should learn some history,” he argued. “I was a colleague of Mr. Naidu while KCR was a follower of Mr. Naidu.”
