Union Minister Bandi Sanjay on Sunday criticized the Congress government in Telangana for adopting a dual-pronged approach. He lashed out at the administration for demolishing the houses of the poor  under the guise of the 'Hydraa' operation while  sparing  encroachments made by leaders belonging to the AIMIM party over Salman lake .

Sharing a clip of a recent interview given by the Hydraa Commissioner Ranganath to a news channel on his 'X' account, Bandi Sanjay leveled severe criticism against the remarks made by the Commissioner during the interview. He slammed the Congress party by stating that its conduct mirrors the slogan: "Garibon Ko Hatao, Owaisi Ko Bachao" (Remove the Poor, Save Owaisi).

He expressed his outrage by pointing out that the state government creates "buffer zones" for the poor while establishing "comfort zones" for Owaisi  and added that it enforces ‘Full Tank Level’ (FTL) regulations strictly against the poor, yet adopts a ‘Full Thanks Level’ (total leniency) approach toward Owaisi. He lambasted the Congress party's logic by noting the hypocrisy of the Hydraa Commissioner  wherein the students studying in an unauthorized college is viewed through a ‘ social angle,’ while the homes of the poor are  demolished under the pretext that they constitute ‘encroachments.’

Citing official statistics, he observed that while the Hydraa bulldozers moved with lightning speed to demolish the homes of over 200 poor families, the administration was deliberately dragging its feet regarding the Owaisi College, which is situated within the Full Tank Level (FTL) area of Salkam Lake. He criticized the Congress government for contrasting its actions with those of Prime Minister Narendra  Modi.

“ While  PM Modi is constructing dignified housing for the poor through the PM-AWAS scheme, the Congress government, conversely, is sending in bulldozers to demolish their homes,” he alleged . He criticized the situation by stating that if the law bends for the heirs of the Razakars yet cracks down on the poor, it amounts to nothing more than a feeble justification that disregards the very ideals it is meant to uphold.
