HYDERABAD

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao has asked the electorate and people of Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency, going for byelection soon, to put an end to the 'unabated betrayal' of the Congress, which he said has come to power by making over 420 promises and guarantees but failed to keep most of them.

Speaking at a party meeting of the Erragadda division in the Jubilee Hills constituency at the BRS headquarters here on Friday, he alleged that the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) joint venture in Telangana was the A. Revanth Reddy Government and in case if the ruling party was handed win in Jubilee Hills, even by mistake, it would allow it to betray people with more vigour.

'Congress-BJP JV'

He said that he had termed the Revanth Reddy Government as the Congress-BJP JV not out of ignorance but going by facts, such as Mr. Reddy was backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the corporate giant Gautam Adani, the two being criticised by AICC leader Rahul Gandhi day-in and day-out. Mr. Reddy was hailing the Gujarat model of development termed as a myth by Mr. Gandhi and directed the CBI, termed as a hunting dog of BJP by Mr. Gandhi, onto BRS founder K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

Stating that the byelection to Jubilee Hills would decide the future of Telangana and the fate of people, he reminded the party workers and leaders that the Congress had come to power by showing heaven in the palm of its hand to voters and if it was given a win again, it would make the party think that there was no need to keep the promises made.

Mr. Rama Rao stated that the joint goal of Congress and BJP was to wipe out KCR, who had been the voice and guard of Telangana people and their interests, and BRS from the memory of Telangana society. He said while BRS had opposed amendments to the Wakf Act in Parliament, Mr. Reddy's government was the first in the country to implement it.

He pointed out that it was for the first time, either in united Andhra Pradesh or in Telangana, that the Congress had formed a government without a Muslim in the Cabinet or even as an MLA or MLC.

The BRS working president urged the people of Jubilee Hills constituency to bless Maganti Gopinath's widow, as they did for Gopinath in three consecutive elections.
