The BJP State president, along with Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, addressed media persons here on Wednesday.

“The Congress party’s complete silence on the tragic incident in Makthal is alarming. They have neither condemned the incident nor expressed any remorse. This silence speaks volumes about their insensitivity and inhuman approach,” he said.

Meanwhile, the TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud exuded confidence that the ruling Congress party was poised to secure victory in the municipal elections.

He said the elections had reinforced the Congress wave, attributing the anticipated victory to the people’s faith in people-centric governance.
