KTR ridicules Sridhar Babu, Congress for disowning turncoat MLAs

"Mr Over Smart Minister, according to your logic, is your 'Chittanaidu' (Chief Minister Revanth Reddy) still in TDP or has he fully crossed over to Congress? Even if we assume that you are right, who is the fool who went to our BRS MLA's homes and welcomed them into his party with the Congress scarves? Why such shameless politics?" he asked.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao took a dig at Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu over the Minister’s remarks that the Congress had nothing to do with “infighting” between BRS MLAs Padi Kaushik Reddy and Arekapudi Gandhi. He questioned the Congress’s integrity and mocked their political maneuvering.

Even if we assume that you are right, who is the fool who went to our BRS MLA’s homes and welcomed them into his party with the Congress scarves? Why such shameless politics?” he asked.

Taking to X, Rama Rao pointed out the double standards of the Congress. He wondered why the Congress was desperate to poach the BRS MLAs and then deny the same. “Why all this drama? Are you afraid of losing posts?” he asked. He also ridiculed the Congress’s inability to claim the defected MLAs as their own. “I pity the Congress leaders for not being able to embrace the defected leaders and call them as their own party members,” he said.

Rama Rao charged the Congress with attempts to deceive the judiciary as the deadline for the disqualification of defected BRS MLAs was set for just four weeks. He cautioned that while the Congress might be attempting to deceive the Telangana High Court, they would not be able to betray the people of Telangana once again. He went on to mock the Minister stating that he should be nominated for the “Best Actor in a Supporting Role” award for defending the Congress’ actions.
