"a-revanth-reddy"

While the government cannot hold the elections without completing the reservation process as per Supreme Court orders, the gram panchayats will not receive the Central funds without an elected governing body.

At a time when every other political party, civil rights organisations and tribal rights organisations were sending their leaders to Lagacherla to listen to the voices of the farmers, neither the TPCC President nor any other top Congress leader has made an effort to listen to the voices of farmers.

Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Rajender said the Congress government had totally failed in implementing promises made to the people of the State in the last one year and still was celebrating its one year in power

According to reports, sensing trouble during the Chief Minister's visit, the police have taken into custody several leaders and activists

"As Revanth Reddy is the only person who is well-experienced in carrying moneybags, the Congress is unlikely to replace him as they need him," he said sarcastically, adding that the Congress completing its full term in Telangana would only benefit the BRS for the next two to three elections.

The demolition of houses was not a solution, and the easiest way for the government was to construct retaining walls along the Musi, he said.

"BJP and Congress are playing dirty politics to save their mutual interests. It is a drama enacted by fellow thieves jointly," he said.

Kodangal's Lagacherla and surrounding villages are witnessing unrest on an unprecented scale for the last six days, but completely oblivious to what is happening and not visiting the area even once, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is busy campaigning for the Congress in Maharashtra.

BRS spokesperson Manne Krishank gave a strong counter to the claims of Medicover Hospitals that the hospital had no links with Maxbien Pharma and Dr Annam Sharath, demanding the Congress for a clarification.

Villagers have been fighting for justice for about nine months, yet neither the Chief Minister nor his officials had addressed their grievances. "Instead, they conspired to acquire land forcibly by creating a law and order problem," he said.

CPI (Maoist) spokesperson Jagan alleged that during its one year rule, the Congress government had forsaken its election promises and suppressed the fundamental rights of people.

The report accuses Narender Reddy of orchestrating attacks under Rama Rao's alleged direction to “destabilise/deteriorate the government and gain political mileage"

A Tirupati Reddy drew flak from citizens on Wednesday after he declared that the government would not step back from acquiring lands in Lagacherla and surrounding villages for the proposed Pharma Village project.

BRSV state secretary Jangaiah alleged that keeping aside 12,000 acres of land already acquired during the past K Chandrashekhar Rao's government for pharma city, which was ready, Revanth Reddy was looking to grab farmers land in the name of pharma clusters.

When CM A Revanth Reddy inaugurated the project on Aug 15, it was projected to cost Rs.18,000 cr upon full completion. However, revised estimates submitted to the govt now put the cost at Rs.19,800 cr

Though he did not elaborate on why personal data should be shared when the primary focus of the census was caste, Revanth Reddy alleged that both BJP and BRS were trying to create controversies over the caste census as they were worried about the consequences.

Reacting sharply to Revanth Reddy’s comments that the people of the State had lost nothing, Harish Rao threw a challenge at CM for a debate on any sector, right from farmers’ problems, debts, hospitals, drinking water, water for irrigation, power supply and education to health among others.

The government would curb communal disturbances. People involved in such incidents would be punished severely, he said.

In response, the Congress appointed former Minister Mohd Ali Shabbir as an Advisor to the Government and designated minorities as chairpersons for eight different corporations. Following the high command's directives, Siasat Editor Amer Ali Khan was made one of four MLCs, and an IG cadre officer from the minority community was placed in the Chief Minister’s office. Emphasizing that these appointments reflected their support for the Congress, the Chief Minister noted that minorities sometimes align with regional parties.

He noted that while many promises remain unkept at home, Revanth Reddy was now attempting to deceive Maharashtra voters with empty rhetoric.
