Telangana Congress has described IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao’s call for protests against Mr. Revanth Reddy’s comments on free power supply to farmers as a reflection of his frustration about the growing popularity of the Congress in Telangana, and an effort to deliberately mislead the farmers to deflect the growing anti-BRS feeling in the State.
Reacting to the episode, senior leaders Madhu Yaskhi Goud, Ponnam Prabhakar Goud, Mahesh Kumar Goud, and Mallu Ravi in separate events said that an educated person like KTR trying to fabricate a story around free power supply only shows his acceptance that the BRS has lost confidence in itself. They said KTR understands the corruption involved in free power supply and the essence of the issue raised by Mr. Revanth Reddy but he is trying hard to misinterpret it.
The Congress leaders said KTR’s misinterpretation of TPCC chief’s comments will not have any takers as free power to farmers was introduced by the Congress. The BRS has only copied the scheme,” they said arguing that all that Mr. Revanth Reddy expressed in a meeting in the USA was to expose the huge corruption in the free power supply.
