Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar, during Bonalu celebrations in Hyderabad, accused the ruling Congress and BRS of minority appeasement. He also attacked Congress for unfulfilled promises on jobs and allowances, while crediting PM Modi for employment initiatives.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said Revanth Reddy’s remarks on Muslims prove the Congress party’s focus on minority appeasement. The Telangana CM’s comments have drawn criticism from BRS and Muslim groups, who termed them insulting and demanded an apology.
In a politically charged move ahead of the Jubilee Hills bypoll, the Congress government in Telangana is reportedly set to induct former cricket captain Mohammed Azharuddin into the State Cabinet, despite his lack of legislative membership. The decision, proposed by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and cleared by the party high command, aims to appeal to Muslim voters amid BRS's growing strength.
