HYDERABAD
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao accused the Congress government of betraying Backward Classes (BCs) by “enacting a political drama” in the name of protest for approval of BC Bills in Delhi.
Welcoming new leaders and cadre from the Parigi constituency into the party’s fold at Telangana Bhavan here on Thursday, KTR slammed the Congress’s handling of BC reservations issue.
He alleged that the Congress has blatantly misled people on the issue of BC reservations. “They promised 42% reservations with legal backing before the elections and secured votes. But now, CM A. Revanth Reddy says BC reservations will only be granted if Rahul Gandhi becomes Prime Minister. Was this condition mentioned in the BC Declaration?” he asked.
KTR also ridiculed the Chief Minister, stating that even in Delhi, Mr. Revanth Reddy could not stop talking about KCR. “It appears that Mr. Revanth Reddy is obsessed with KCR. He’s suffering from a clear case of KCR-phobia,” he said. The former minister also alleged that the Revanth Reddy government had completely failed to fulfil the poll promises.
He admitted that during BRS’s 10-year rule, the focus was on Telangana’s development, and the cadre may not have received individual attention. But he assured that once BRS returns to power, workers would be given due recognition and growth opportunities. He appealed to the party workers to work hard to ensure party’s victory in every village during the upcoming local body elections.
