‘You destroyed their homes, their dreams,’ says KTR slamming Revanth Reddy’s bulldozer politics
BRS working president KT Rama Rao condemned the razing of homes and shattering the lives of many, especially children.
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday denounced Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the Congress leadership for betraying the people of Telangana through demolitions under the guise of the Musi Riverfront Development Project. He condemned the razing of homes and shattering the lives of many, especially children.
“Dear Chief Minister, you demolished their homes and dreams. These children search through the ruins of their demolished house, for their life’s memories. Will you and your Ministers tell them that you destroyed their homes to build malls? Is this the people’s governance you promised?” he asked, sharing a video of two young girls at their partially demolished house in Shankar Nagar near Chadarghat in Musi riverbed on Tuesday.
Targeting Rahul Gandhi directly, the BRS working president questioned the contradiction between the Congress leader’s national rhetoric and the actions of the local Congress government. “Take a look at your demolition sarkaar in Telangana. You promised to stand by the people, but have you heard the voice of Telangana’s public against the bulldozer politics of your Chief Minister?” he asked. He wanted Rahul Gandhi to visit the Musi project affected areas and witness the ground reality.
Rama Rao also pointed out the inconsistency in the Congress’s stance on corporate relationships, where Rahul Gandhi declares fight against Adani in Delhi, while Chief Minister Revanth Reddy joins hands with Adani in Davos. Similarly, for Congress leaders, Bulldozer Raj is wrong in Uttar Pradesh, but right in Hyderabad. “Who is right and who is wrong?” he asked.
He also criticised the Congress’s double standards on MLAs defections, drawing attention to its actions in Telangana. He pointed out that the Congress was encouraging defections in Telangana, while opposing defections in other States like Himachal Pradesh. “Is this righteousness or opportunistic politics?” he asked.
