BRS MLC Kavitha calls out Revanth Reddy for acting as RSS CM
Kavitha raised suspicions, pointing out that immediately after his meeting with Modi, Revanth Reddy started talking about filing cases against former CM K Chandrashekhar Rao and former Minister KT Rama Rao
Hyderabad: BRS MLC K Kavitha launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for acting under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directions and working as an RSS Chief Minister. She said the Congress government in Telangana was surviving on BJP’s support and both the parties were working with the sole agenda of targeting the Kalvakuntla family and weaken the BRS.
Addressing the mediapersons at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Kavitha raised suspicions, pointing out that immediately after his meeting with Modi, Revanth Reddy started talking about filing cases against former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and former Minister KT Rama Rao.
“This is nothing but a well-planned conspiracy. The Chief Minister’s only agenda is to harass the Kalvakuntla family and dismantle the BRS, which has been the protective shield for Telangana.” she said.
The BRS MLC also slammed the Chief Minister for spreading falsehoods, pointing to his remarks twisting the deaths of individuals to suit political narratives. “Look at the absurdity – a lawyer who died of a heart attack in the court, another death was declared as murder due to property dispute by the district SP, and a natural death in Dubai was turned into a political ploy. Revanth Reddy is peddling blatant lies to mislead people,” she charged.
Kavitha questioned the unofficial role of Revanth Reddy’s brother, Tirupati Reddy, in government affairs.
“We have no issue with him handling party matters, but why is he attending official meetings? Why is the district collector welcoming him in an official capacity? This is nothing but the Chief Minister encouraging unconstitutional forces,” she said, asserting that unlike Revanth Reddy’s family, the Kalvakuntla family always adhered to the law and served Telangana people as elected representatives.
The BRS MLC tore into the Chief Minister’s claims on State finances, charging him with deliberately misleading the public on the interest payments against debts. She stated that while Revanth Reddy claims that the State pays Rs 6,500 crore in interest every month, the Comtroller and Auditor General (CAG) report states that interest payments in no month has exceeded Rs 2,600 crore. “Where is he getting his numbers from? Congress, which came to power through lies, continues to deceive the people,” she opined.
She also challenged the Chief Minister on his false claims that the State Own Tax Revenue (SOTR) is Rs 18,000 crore per month, but CAG data shows it is only Rs 12,000 crore. “So why is Revanth Reddy making false projections? Who is he trying to fool?” she asked
Kavitha linked the State’s financial crisis to a targeted attack on Hyderabad’s growth, alleging that city’s brand image is being deliberately damaged. “The State government estimated Rs 18,000 crore in revenue from stamps and registrations, but due to the HYDRAA demolitions, it fell to Rs 5,800 crore. The Congress government is deliberately weakening Hyderabad’s economic foundation,” she added.
Dismissing Revanth Reddy’s claims that no work was done on the SLBC tunnel project under BRS, the BRS leader explained about Chandrashekhar Rao’s efforts. She stated that in 30 years, TDP and Congress spent Rs 3,340 crore on SLBC. But in just 10 years, Chandrashekhar Rao spent Rs 3,890 crore and built an 11-km tunnel. “Yet, the Chief Minister continues to spread falsehoods,” she remarked.
She lambasted the government’s inaction during the recent SLBC tunnel disaster, stating that while eight people were trapped, the Chief Minister chose election campaign and Delhi visit. “In Uttarakhand, the Chief Minister stood by his people during a tunnel collapse. But here, Revanth Reddy showed zero accountability,” she added.
Kavitha blamed the Congress government for infrastructure failures, citing four collapsed projects in last 15 months. “The Sunkishala retaining wall collapsed, and the government remained silent. The Peddavagu project in Khammam washed away, but the Chief Minister did nothing. Why is Revanth Reddy protecting certain contractors?” she questioned, stating that the government rejected RTI queries on key projects under the pretext of national security.
“This government is built on lies. Congress may have come to power by deceiving the people, but it cannot escape accountability. Telangana will not be fooled forever,” she declared.
