Revanth Reddy destroying lives of poor under guise of HYDRAA, says KTR

BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress govt for ruthlessly demolishing homes and businesses of the underprivileged without providing adequate support or time for relocation.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and his brother A Tirupathi Reddy, stating that they were destroying the lives of the poor under the guise of HYDRAA operations. He criticised the Congress government for ruthlessly demolishing homes and businesses of the underprivileged without providing adequate support or time for relocation.

“In the name of HYDRAA, the poor are being thrown onto the streets. But Tirupati Reddy was served a notice, allowing him to approach the court and get a stay order ensuring that his properties remain untouched amidst this destruction. Is there one rule for the poor and another for the Chief Minister and his family?” he asked.

Speaking at a party workers’ meeting in Serilingampally on Tuesday, Rama Rao charged Revanth Reddy and his family of looting the State and targeting vulnerable communities. He reminded that Serilingampally MLA Arekapudi Gandhi himself had alleged that Tirupati Reddy was running a “commission shop” in Madhapur. He declared that a by-election in Serilingampally was imminent, and exuded confidence that the BRS would emerge victorious.

“People are angry with Congress, and they will vote for change. Serilingampally will see a new MLA soon,” he asserted.

The former Minister dared Revanth Reddy to act against those who gave permissions for the alleged illegal constructions which were being demolished. “Your previous Congress governments allowed the constructions, now you are demolishing homes. But trying to pass on the blame to the BRS government. Take action against those who gave illegal permissions,” he challenged.

He said while the BRS government focused on development by building double-bedroom houses, flyovers, and sewage treatment plants (STPs) with its politics of construction, the Congress-led government was involved in politics of “destruction, subversion, and blackmail” during its nine months in power.

Rama Rao also warned that the BRS would stand firm with the poor, asserting that they would not allow the homes of the poor to be demolished without a fight. He highlighted the achievements of his party over the past ten years, noting that the BRS had avoided religious riots and ensured development for all sections of society.

Rama Rao also took aim at the Congress government’s failure to fulfill its promises, such as Rythu Bharosa, crop loan waivers for farmers and job creation. “Farmers are protesting because they have not received the loan waivers promised. Youth are still waiting for the 2 lakh jobs Rahul Gandhi promised in Ashok Nagar. All they have received are empty promises,” he said.

Rama Rao reaffirmed the party’s commitment to support the poor and ensuring the development of Telangana under the leadership of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, warning that if the Congress government continued its anti-poor actions, his party would not remain silent. “Serilingampally will see a by-election soon, and we are ready to fight for the people,” he declared.
