BRS working president and former Minister KT Rama Rao said Chief Minister Revanth Reddy installed the statue to appease the Congress leadership, while ignoring Telangana's sentiments.

BRS to perform palabhishekam to Telangana Thalli statues

BRS opposed the Congress government's decision to unveil former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's statue in the place reserved for the statue of Telangana Talli.

The Telangana Talli statue, representing the aspirations of four crore people, was initially intended to be installed near the Telangana Martyrs Memorial "Amarajyothi" and the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat.

Rama Rao took to X to remind Prime Minister Narendra Modi that it has been over four months since the issue of ‘RR Tax’ in Telangana was raised. “It’s been more than four months since you mentioned ‘RR Tax’ in Telangana. Why has no action been taken by your government?” asked KTR, as the BRS leader is known.

The BRS chief reportedly assured to hold an extensive party meeting shortly to discuss and decide about the party's future course of action.

In an open letter to the Chief Minister on behalf of the BRS, Rama Rao criticised the Congress government's decision to halt the project without consulting stakeholders.

Taking to X, Rama Rao said people in Telangana were left homeless due to the recent heavy rains and also due to the demolitions carried out by the State government in the name of encroachments. "One is natural disaster, while the other is a Revanth Reddy-mark disaster.

"Mr Over Smart Minister, according to your logic, is your 'Chittanaidu' (Chief Minister Revanth Reddy) still in TDP or has he fully crossed over to Congress? Even if we assume that you are right, who is the fool who went to our BRS MLA's homes and welcomed them into his party with the Congress scarves? Why such shameless politics?" he asked.

Describing it as a failure of the state government, he noted that the halt in the admission process had caused anxiety among students and parents. The delay has been a major setback for those hoping to pursue medical education this year.

BRS Working President K.T. Rama Rao criticized the Congress government on social media for not delivering on its promise to provide Rs 15,000 per acre as Rythu Bharosa to Telangana farmers. With just 17 days remaining in the Kharif season, he questioned the government's commitment to the farmers.

BRS president and former CM K Chandrashekhar Rao remembered the services of Yechury who played a prominent role as a student leader, Communist leader and also Rajya Sabha member, to the nation.

Taking to X on Thursday, Rama Rao questioned the need for prioritising Hindi over other regional languages. "Why exactly do we need increased Hindi acceptance, Amit Shah Ji? Why not promote Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Oriya, Gujarati, and others?" he asked.

Pointing to the recent chargesheet filed by the ED which indicated diversion of the Valmiki scam funds to Telangana, KT Rama Rao said the Congress indulged in brazen misuse of public funds.

He raised concern over an alarming rise in viral fevers and questioned the silence of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy even as students are being neglected in numerous incidents.

"Such a shame that the Revanth Reddy government resorts to filing FIR on protestors who stood bravely in front of your draconian bulldozer government. Where does this undemocratic system stop? How low will you stoop?" he asked.

"It is shameful that the Congress government has pushed its employees to such extremes. The Chief Minister, who is causing emotional distress to the employees, should apologise immediately," said KTR

He cited the Supreme Court's judgement on the party defections earlier, pointing out that the apex court had previously ruled that decisions on such complaints should be made within three months.

Dileep was arrested purely because he questioned your government’s failure in providing flood relief, your inability to implement the farm loan waivers, and for exposing the hollowness of your six guarantees," he stated.
