However, T Raja Singh, the B JP MLA from Goshamahal attacked the Telangana government for following an appeasement policy towards the Muslims. Taking to social media platform, the firebrand MLA who often doubles up as a cow vigilante wrote, “Appeasement politics at its peak. Telangana government allows early leave for Ramzan but ignores Hindu festivals. Equal rights for all, or none.”
Raja Singh is also known for his hate speech and has over 100 cases registered against him.
The Congress, however, has tried to take credit for the GO which is routinely issued every year, even by the BRS and previous Congress governments in the past. Bhuvangiri Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy said “This shows that the chief minister is sincere in his governance towards the people. In the past, during important festivals like Christmas, Dussehra, Sankranthi the chief minister had taken similar decisions keeping in mind the people.”
