BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao alleged that the Congress party is intimidating people by threatening to stop welfare schemes if they do not vote for them. He charged that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is conspiring to win the Jubilee Hills by-election by distributing the massive black money extorted from builders in the name of “Hydra.”

KTR criticised that in 22 months of governance, Revanth Reddy has not done a single good deed for the people, and is now resorting to shortcuts to somehow secure victory in the Jubilee Hills by-poll.

Addressing the Rahmath Nagar division workers’ meeting of Jubilee Hills constituency at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, KT Rama Rao said people are disillusioned with Congress, which has failed to fulfil its promises and is shifting blame onto debts for its own inefficiency.

Referring to Chief Minister Revanth’s recent visit to Ganesh immersion, KTR said the public did not pay him any attention – proof that the government is disconnected from the people.

The BRS leader asked whether “Indiramma Rajyam” means demolishing homes. He expressed anguish that Sardar, a BRS worker, was driven to suicide after his house was demolished out of political vendetta for not joining Congress.

KT Rama Rao recalled that a woman named Buchamma from Kukatpally took her own life fearing Hydra would demolish her house. He warned that a mistaken vote for Congress in the Jubilee Hills by-election would be equivalent to giving the government a license to demolish homes.

KTR demanded to know whether Hydra would dare to demolish the illegal house built by Revanth Reddy’s brother Tirupati Reddy in Durgam Cheruvu. He lambasted the Congress government for exploiting the poor with arrogance of power, while sparing the rich. The BRS working president appealed to the people of Jubilee Hills to vote for the “Car” symbol and teach a lesson to the arrogance of Revanth Reddy and Congress.

KTR urged minorities to recognise the reality that Revanth Reddy is acting like a BJP Chief Minister, treating Modi as his elder brother and working under his guidance. He pointed out the irony that while Rahul Gandhi strongly opposes BJP, Modi, and central agencies like CBI, Revanth is acting in complete contradiction to Congress ideology. He said a vote for Revanth-led Congress is essentially a vote for Modi and BJP.

KTR accused Congress of deceiving minorities by failing to nominate an MLC and cancelling programmes like Shaadi Mubarak and minority residential schools.

He said not even a single minority student has been given a scholarship so far. Against the promise of a Rs 4,000 crore minority budget, Congress has delivered nothing, while the BRS government had spent Rs 12,000 crore on minorities over 10 years. He lashed out at Congress for using Muslims merely as a vote bank for 60 years.
