KTR Downplays Kavitha\u2019s New Party, Slams BJP and Congress
Hyderabad, April 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao on Monday downplayed the formation of a new political outfit by his sister K. Kavitha, stating that \u201cpolitical parties come and go\u201d and there is \u201cno need to pay much attention\u201d to the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to queries at a press conference in Hyderabad, KTR also brushed aside remarks made by Kavitha against BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, saying such comments do not warrant attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kavitha recently floated a new party named Telangana Rashtra Sena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KTR was addressing the media following the valedictory meeting of the BRS silver jubilee celebrations held at Telangana Bhavan under the \u0905\u0927\u094d\u092f\u0915\u094d\u0937ship of KCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BRS strongly condemned remarks made in Parliament by BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, who allegedly compared the formation of Telangana with the creation of Pakistan. KTR termed the comments an insult to the self-respect of the people of Telangana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He criticised Congress and BJP MPs from the state for remaining silent over the issue, stating that a strong response would have been ensured had there been a BRS MP in Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KTR said he personally spoke to Tejasvi Surya over the phone, conveying strong objections and describing the remarks as inappropriate and hurtful. He added that the BJP MP issued a clarification only after BRS raised the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting was attended by MPs, MLAs, MLCs, state executive members, district presidents, heads of affiliated bodies, and several former public representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KTR said KCR provided comprehensive guidance to party leaders and cadre, extended greetings on the party\u2019s Formation Day, and expressed gratitude to all who contributed to the Telangana movement. He also announced the appointment of senior leader Jeevan Reddy as the party\u2019s General Secretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlighting KCR\u2019s leadership, KTR said the former Chief Minister detailed the conditions prevailing in Telangana before statehood and recalled his 25-year-long struggle that ultimately led to its formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expressing concern over the current situation, KTR alleged that Telangana is witnessing an agrarian crisis similar to the pre-statehood period. He cited issues such as power cuts, farmer suicides, shortage of seeds and fertilisers, and delays in paddy procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BRS leader accused the Congress government of misgovernance, claiming that a state once recognised for development is now being pushed towards disorder. He alleged a rise in illegal land grabs and house demolitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KTR also criticised the government\u2019s handling of drinking water schemes like Mission Bhagiratha and questioned its approach to paddy procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said KCR has directed a complete restructuring of the party, with all committees except the State Executive Committee being dissolved. New committees will be constituted soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meeting passed a resolution demanding unrestricted paddy procurement across the state and warned of a statewide agitation if issues remain unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KTR further criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, urging him to uphold the dignity of his office and avoid personal attacks. He alleged that the Chief Minister lacks policy understanding and resorts to abusive language instead of constructive debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dismissing claims about the BRS losing relevance, KTR said the Congress itself has struggled at the national level for over a decade. He also accused the Chief Minister of failing to fulfil promises made to farmers, including loan waivers pledged in the name of deities at Basara, Yadagirigutta and Jogulamba temples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
