“It will not be tolerated if BC leaders are talked down to. We will not sit back and watch if the Congress leaders resort to personal attacks. Unless their realise their mistake and apologise, we will see to it that they pay for their deeds,” he said.

Minister V Srinivas Goud said some Congress leaders were becoming arrogant and belittling the growing BC leadership in the BRS. He stated that the BCs were being targeted intentionally and pointed out that the Congress leaders who were seeking the votes of the BCs, were hurting their self-respect. “The Congress party is conspiring to suppress the BCs instead of promoting their leadership. If this continues, the party will be buried in the ground,” he warned.

Minister Gangula Kamalakar said that they will reach out every household in the State and fight against the anti-people policies of Congress party. He said the BCs comprise around 56 percent of the population in Telangana and they will soon announce an action plan against the Congress which was conspiring to supresss them both politically and economically.
