No alliance with BJP which worships Godse, says KTR

Terming the BJP a Hindu fundamentalist party, Rama Rao dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tell the public in the Nizamabad meeting whether he would pray to Gandhi or Godse.

Jagtial: IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao made it clear that the BRS would not have a poll alliance with the BJP, which worships and follows the first terrorist of the country, Nathuram Godse, who killed the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

Terming the BJP a Hindu fundamentalist party, Rama Rao dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tell the public in the Nizamabad meeting whether he followed Gandhi or Godse. “I ask Modi, are you a follower of Gandhi or Godse? Modi should answer this in Nizamabad,” he said.

The BJP, except flaring up communal tensions and provoking youth to get votes, would not think about the welfare of the public or development. There was no need for the BRS to have an alliance with such a party, he added.

Addressing a public meeting in Jagtial, the Minister also said no political leader in the country had shown the courage to criticize and point out the faults of Modi more than Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. The Congress in Telangana, on the other hand, was functioning under RSS leader A Revanth Reddy.

Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had written to Sonia Gandhi questioning why an RSS leader was made the chief of the Congress in Telangana. “Can Revanth Reddy openly make a statement that he did not work for RSS, and that he does not hate Muslims,” Rama Rao asked.
“The Congress is an old fox which has failed miserably,” he said, adding that the Congress was given 11 chances but could not do any good to any section of society in 65 years.

Stating that it was ironic for Congress leaders to talk about power issues in the State, particularly because it was under the Congress regime that farmers suffered due to power shortages, he said Revanth Reddy had said three-hour power supply was sufficient for farmers in the State. People should remember the Congress regime when farmers were deprived of many benefits, apart from power shortage, water scarcity and inadequate supply of seeds and fertilizers.

“No other leader loves farmers and works for their welfare like CM KCR does,” he said, also pointing out that BRS leaders could proudly say that KCR was our CM. “Can Congress say who will be their CM?,” he asked, adding that to see the difference between Congress and BRS, one had to just compare the Indiramma houses of Congress and the 2BHK Dignity houses of BRS.
