Congress releases charge sheet against BJP

CM Revanth reminded that in the past the BJP had implemented the RSS agenda including triple talaq, Article 370, demonetization, Uniform Civil code, Citizen Amendment Act etc.

Hyderabad: Alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was hatching conspiracies to do away with SC, ST and OBC reservations, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the saffron party had coined the 400 seat slogan with an agenda to scrap reservations.

There was constitutional protection for SC and ST reservations and the court had also permitted increasing reservation for OBCs. However, the BJP was trying to implement the RSS agenda and scrap reservations, he said after releasing a “charge sheet” against the BJP at Gandhi Bhavan here on Thursday.

AICC Telangana in-charge Deepadas Munshi and Ministers participated in the programme. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister pointed out that in the past the BJP had implemented the RSS agenda including triple talaq, Article 370, demonetization, Uniform Civil code and Citizen Amendment Act among others. The RSS was keen to abolish the reservations by 2025. Accordingly, the BJP had coined the “Ab ki bar 400 par” slogan to achieve two-thirds majority in the parliament for scrapping the SC, ST and OBC reservations, he said.

“All the SC, ST and OBC community members have to be cautious. Every vote you cast to the BJP will be used for scrapping reservations provided by the Congress,” Revanth Reddy said, adding that as Rahul Gandhi had stated, the Congress government would conduct an x-ray of the entire nation, besides carrying out a BC census. Based on their population, the Congress would increase the reservations for the community, he said.

“These elections are a fight between those supporting the reservations and those opposing them,” he said, also criticising the BJP for introducing anti-farmer laws. He demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi tender an unconditional apology to the farming community in the Parliament.

This apart, the common man was hit by escalating prices of essential commodities. Right from handlooms to MSMEs, GST was imposed by the BJP government and even matchboxes and incense sticks were not spared, he said, alleging that the BJP government had imposed a financial burden of Rs.168 lakh crore on the people of the nation. This apart, the Prime Minister had raised debts to the tune of Rs.113 lakh crore debts in the last 10 years, he said, adding that all the assets generated by the Congress government in the past were being distributed among corporates by the BJP government.
