The BRS working president stated that it takes immense hard work, love for the country to join the armed forces and put one’s life on the line for the nation. “We are able to live safely, spend time with our families only because our soldiers are standing guard at the borders” he said

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) demanded that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy immediately apologise for his shameful and insulting remarks on the Indian Army.

Reacting sharply on Sunday, KTR said that such irresponsible and disgraceful comments are unbecoming of a person holding the Chief Minister’s position. “To insult the Indian Army merely to score political points in an election rally is a new low, even by Revanth Reddy’s standards,”

KTR said, demanding that the Chief Minister withdraw his statement and tender an unconditional public apology to the Indian Army.

The BRS working president stated that it takes immense hard work, dedication, commitment and love for the country to join the armed forces and put one’s life on the line for the nation. “We are able to live safely, do politics and spend time with our families only because our soldiers are standing guard at the borders, enduring the most cruel and difficult conditions,” he said.

Questioning the intent behind Revanth Reddy’s words, KTR asked, “What made you belittle our Army and glorify Pakistan? What were you trying to achieve by humiliating our brave soldiers?”

He further said, “For a man who was once caught with bags of cash, it is perhaps natural to worship goondas and rowdy sheeters. But as the Chief Minister of Telangana, you have a duty to show dignity and patriotism. Stop insulting the Indian Army and stop praising an enemy nation.”

KTR said Revanth Reddy’s comments have deeply hurt the sentiments of crores of Indians who hold the Army in the highest regard. “As the representative of Telangana, you must behave responsibly and honour the soldiers who protect our borders — not belittle them for your political theatrics,” he asserted.
