Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday shocked many with insensitive comments against former Chief Minister and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao, going to the extent of saying that the senior leader would pass away soon.
Speaking at a government function at Ravindra Bharathi here, Revanth Reddy referred to statements by BRS leaders including KT Rama Rao that none in the Assembly could match the stature of Chandrashekhar Rao. “They are talking about his stature, but truth is that we have put him on a stretcher and he will soon end up in the mortuary,” he said.
The derogatory language immediately triggered protests from many quarters with BRS leaders criticising Revanth Reddy for hitting a new low in political rhetoric. BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) and senior MLA T Harish Rao lashed out at the Chief Minister for his cheap remarks.
“This mad dog has crossed every single limit of decency. I request his family to take him to a mental health facility or else, in his frustrated state, he might start biting everyone around. Get well soon, Cheap Minister,” Rama Rao posted on X, referring to Revanth Reddy.
Harish Rao also slammed Revanth Reddy, accusing him of lacking political maturity. “The Chief Minister is a narrow-minded person who wishes for the death of Opposition leaders,” he said, finding fault with the Chief Minister for using government platforms for political attacks and exposing his insecurity and paranoia. He reminded that the BRS government had provided 1.62 lakh jobs in nine and a half years, while Revanth Reddy had managed only 5,000 in 15 months.
“All the jobs he boasts of were from notifications issued during the BRS regime. How long will he keep distributing appointment letters for job notifications issued by the K Chandrashekhar Rao government?” he asked, asking Revanth Reddy to start behaving like a Chief Minister and stop playing petty games.
