BRS leaders fume at BJP, Congress over abusive politics

BRS leaders Gangula Kamalakar and K P Vivekananda lashed out at Congress and BJP governments, accusing them of governance failures, abusive rhetoric, and diversionary tactics.

Hyderabad: Former Minister and BRS MLA Gangula Kamalakar castigated both the Congress and the BJP governments over their utter failure in addressing key people’s issues, while indulging in political mudslinging. He reminded that the Opposition, along with people, has every right to question the ruling parties over their failures and irregularities.

Addressing a press meet at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, Kamalakar raised strong objection to abusive language used by Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay against BRS working president KT Rama Rao who criticised the failure of both the Centre and the State governments in law and order.

He ridiculed that instead of questioning Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy over the recent robbery in Karimnagar at gunpoint, Bandi Sanjay was resorting to reckless and derogatory language against the BRS leaders.

“Such language is unbecoming of a Union Minister. He appears to be speaking as a frustrated party worker rather than a responsible public representative,” he observed, suggesting Sanjay to focus on pending projects like railway overbridges and dump yards from the Centre. He also accused him of failing to bring Central funds to the State over the past two-and-a-half years.

He alleged that both Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Bandi Sanjay were working in tandem. He dismissed the BJP leader’s warning to BRS leaders against visiting Karimnagar.

Meanwhile, BRS Assembly Whip KP Vivekananda said the success of Rama Rao’s farmers’ rally had rattled the government, triggering reactions from the Congress leaders. He accused the ruling party of diverting attention from unfulfilled promises under the Farmers’ Declaration and demanded a white paper on its implementation.

Vivekananda also pointed to unresolved farmers’ issues, citing delayed paddy procurement and distress among cultivators. He criticised the Congress leaders, including Minister Seethakka, MLC Addanki Dayakar and others, for resorting to abusive rhetoric against the BRS working president, instead of addressing governance failures.

He dared Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to participate in a public debate on the Farmers’ Declaration, asserting that the party would continue to hold the government accountable on farmer welfare and State finances.
