KTR warns Congress against physical attacks targeting BRS activists
BRS working president KT Rama Rao condemned alleged post-poll violence by Congress in Jubilee Hills. He vowed to protect party workers, criticized Congress’s tactics, and announced a meeting with local leaders to discuss further action amid rising political tensions.
Hyderabad: Coming down heavily on the post-poll violence unleashed by the Congress Party in the Jubilee Hills assembly constituency, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Saturday sounded a warning against any further escalation in the situation.
“If Congress does not stop its goondaism, the people will teach it a lesson,” he said after
visiting BRS activist Rakesh in Rahmat Nagar on Saturday to express solidarity after he was allegedly assaulted by the Congress men.
“I condemn the assault on our party worker. Within 24 hours of the Jubilee Hills election results, Congress is resorting to goondaism.”
He emphasized that during the ten year rule of the BRS, which included multiple by-election wins, the party had never engaged in attacks on Congress workers.
“The people of Telangana are witnessing the rowdyism being perpetrated by Congress,” he said.
Holding the Congress responsible for the incident, he said the BRS party will protect its workers by all means. He alleged that the Congress secured victory through “bogus votes, goonda tactics, and distribution of money.”
Responding to remarks by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy urging him to reduce arrogance, Rama Rao retorted: “The people are observing whose arrogance it is. The Congress Party took out a victory rally yesterday after the results were announced. We have won numerous elections, if winning alone makes them this intoxicated, imagine how many elections we have won in the past.”
Rama Rao also announced a meeting with Jubilee Hills leaders and workers on Tuesday to discuss further steps in the wake of rising political tensions after the Congress Party’s win in the by-election.
