Speaking at a press conference at Telangana Bhavan on Saturday, Sravan stated that the Telangana Thalli statue was created by BRS President and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao after consulting those involved in the Telangana movement and experts, with the aim of inspiring the people during the movement.
BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao recalled how Bapuji offered his Jaladrishyam residence as a a platform for the Telangana movement, despite pressure from anti-Telangana forces in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh.
He said Prof Jayashankar dedicated his life to spread the Telangana ideology and played pivotal role in the struggle for Telangana statehood. In a statement, Chandrashekhar Rao termed Prof Jayashankar as the guiding force behind the last leg of Telangana statehood agitation.
He lashed out at the Congress government's failure to deliver on its promises made to the people of Telangana, pointing out glaring discrepancies between rhetoric and reality.
Taking aim at Modi's rhetoric regarding Pakistan and Hindutva, the BRS president dismissed it as an attempt to evoke communal emotions for political advantage.
He pointed out that the Congress government also degraded the 100-bed hospital sanctioned for Medak to a 50-bed hospital, apart from turning the Ghanapuram tank useless though it was developed with Rs 150 crore during the BRS rule.
On Monday, accompanied by a convoy of vehicles carrying hundreds of leaders and activists, Chandrashekhar Rao interacted with the people and listened to their grievances and sorrows, reassuring them to take up their issues.
Chandrashekhar Rao also trained his guns at Modi for not acting upon the allegations against Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of collecting 'RR' tax in Telangana.
“We fought for a Railway Coach Factory for Kazipet, but Prime Minister Modi diverted it to Gujarat. Similarly, he gave the sanction letter for the tribal university here after keeping it in abeyance for 10 years,” he said.
He stated that despite spending five months in power, the Chief Minister did not deliver any promises and instead, passing time by hurling choicest abuses against him and the BRS which were responsible for Telangana State formation.
