People ready to cut Congress to size in J.H. bypoll: KTR

HYDERABAD

Working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao has stated that people are ready to cut the Congress party to size in the Jubilee Hills by-election as Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is threatening people of consequences such as stopping welfare schemes in the event of not supporting the ruling party.

He said the Congress party government was collecting the bus charges for the travel of women from their husbands in the name of free travel facility to women and forcing the women from poor families to sell their necklaces for the marriage of their daughters as promises under Kalyana Lakshmi were not honoured.

Speaking after admitting a few leaders of other parties on Saturday he said that Revanth Reddy was demolishing the houses of poor in the name of Indiramma Rajyam. He ridiculed the Congress leaders for attributing motives to the tears of BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha, who was getting emotional recollecting the association of her husband Maganti Gopinath with people.

Meanwhile, a team of BRS leaders including MLA K.P. Vivekanand, general secretary R.S. Praveen Kumar, MLC Shambhipur Raju and others, visited the Borabanda police station to enquire about the progress of the case registered on the suicide of party leader Sardar. Main accused in the case, Baba Fasiuddin was not arrested even five months after the incident, they alleged. Instead of arresting the accused, the government was continuing the personal security (gunmen) to him and they would meet the Chief Electoral Officer and Commissioner of Police on the issue

MLC Dasoju Sravan Kumar said the Chief Minister had reduced governance in Telangana to “panic politics”, acting out of fear rather than public confidence.
