KTR charges Congress with double standards, collusion between Revanth Reddy and Adani
He said while the Congress pretended to oppose him at the national level, it was conspiring to hand over Telangana's resources to the industrialist at the State level.
Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao charged the Congress with double standards on industrialist Gautam Adani, stating that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was colluding with him to undermine the interests of Telangana. He said while the Congress pretended to oppose him at the national level, it was conspiring to hand over Telangana’s resources to the industrialist at the State level.
“The Congress is playing a double game – fighting Adani in Delhi while looting Telangana for him here,” he said. He vowed to expose the alleged dealings and fight on behalf of the poor and small farmers whose lands were being forcibly taken to benefit Adani for expanding his operations in Telangana.
In a statement, Rama Rao raised strong objections to the police preventing the BRS MLAs and MLCs from entering the Assembly on the first day of the winter session on Monday, calling it unconstitutional. “When around 100 Congress MPs including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi wearing t-shirts with the photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Gautam Adani are allowed to enter Parliament, why were BRS legislators stopped at the Assembly gate? How could there be different rules for the Parliament and the Assembly?” he asked, citing it as an example for the Congress’s double standards.
The BRS working president blamed Revanth Reddy for facilitating land acquisitions for Adani’s cement factory at Ramannapet of Nalgonda district, where process has been initiated to acquire thousands of acres, without conducting a public hearing. He said dissenting voices, including BRS leaders and activists, are being silenced through illegal arrests and police action.
Highlighting the hypocrisy, Rama Rao demanded that Rahul Gandhi clarify the Congress’s stance on Revanth Reddy’s alleged dealings with Adani. He stated that the Congress high command remained silent over the Revanth Reddy-Adani collusion due to its greed for the funds being sent from Telangana. “Telangana’s people see through these dramas of fighting in Delhi and colluding in Telangana,” he said.
He announced plans to continue fight against the Congress’s policies and actions, ruling out any compromise in safeguarding Telangana’s resources and constitutional rights of its people.
