A BRS delegation led by former irrigation minister T Harish Rao was on Thursday stopped by police from visiting the accident site of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) near Domalapenta in the Nagarkurnool district of Telangana.
The ‘red book’ of TDP leader Nara Lokesh in which he noted the so-called illegal acts of government officials during the YSRCP regime in Andhra Pradesh, seems to have caught the imagination of the Opposition in Telangana as well.
Participating in a programme at the Congress headquarters, Gandhi Bhavan, Reddy aggressively attacked his rivals in his customary style.
As Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Warangal, slated for tomorrow, stands cancelled, BRS leaders attributed the move to the groundswell against Congress. They say the party sensed the mood of the people who feel betrayed by the policies of the Congress government in Telangana.
AAP’s defeat in Delhi sparked a war of words between Congress and the BRS in Telangana with KT Rama Rao attacking Rahul Gandhi over the poll results.
BRS working president KT Rama Rao promptly slammed the Union Minister alleging that he was casting aspersions on the judges of Supreme Court and urged the apex court to initiate contempt proceedings.
Rao, popularly known as KTR, listed a number of questions on the scam starting with “Who are the nine bank account holders in Hyderabad to whom the ST Corporation money of Rs 45 crore was transferred?”
The controversy surrounding the installation of Rajiv Gandhi’s statue further escalated on Tuesday as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy severely criticised the BRS and vowed to install the statue of the former Prime Minister at the designated spot, opposite the state Secretariat. He also assured that the statue of Telangana Talli would be installed inside the state Secretariat.
Slamming the Congress government for the “alarming display of lawlessness,” Rao alleged that the police stood mutely as a group of men entered the premises and tore the banners.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, on Friday, predicted that the BRS would soon merge with the BJP and party chief K Chandrasekhar Rao will be appointed a governor, his son and former industry minister KT Rama Rao will be inducted in the Union Cabinet.
