Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao found fault with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for his controversial remark that there are no Muslims without the Congress. Condemning the statement as insulting, he demanded an unconditional apology from the Chief Minister to the Muslim community.
“Muslims existed long before the Congress was formed. Revanth Reddy should come out of his ignorance. Just like there will always be Hindus even if there is no BJP, Muslims will remain even if there is no Congress,” he asserted.
Stating that the Chief Minister’s comment was a desperate attempt to communalise politics ahead of the Jubilee Hills bypoll, he said Revanth Reddy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a “Fevicol bond,” as a Congress-BJP joint government was effectively running Telangana.
“While Rahul Gandhi accuses the CBI and ED of being political tools of the BJP, Revanth Reddy happily handed over the Kaleshwaram project case to the same agencies. What more proof is needed to show his double standards?” he asked.
Referring to the ACB case against him in the Formula-E race controversy, the former Minister said the Governor had already permitted prosecution but the Congress government stalled it since the charges were baseless. He countered the allegations by daring the Chief Minister to undergo a lie detector test together on a public platform.
“I am ready for a lie detector test on the Formula-E race case. Let Revanth Reddy also take one in the ACB case on the Cash for Vote scam. People will know who is the real culprit,” he said.
