KTR calls Ranjith Reddy political opportunist, predicts his poll defeat
BRS working president and Sircilla MLA K.T. Rama Rao said that Chevella MP G. Ranjith Reddy will face defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Mr. Rama Rao labelled Mr. Reddy a political opportunist, accusing him of abandoning BRS to join the Congress in pursuit of power and to protect his business interests.
Addressing a meeting of party members from the Chevella Parliamentary constituency at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, Mr. Rama Rao criticised Mr. Reddy for his actions, citing his defection from the party despite receiving support from BRS cadre during the 2019 Parliamentary elections when he was a political novice.
The BRS working president also condemned the Chevella MP’s actions during the arrest of BRS MLC
K. Kavitha, accusing him of betraying the party despite claiming to call Ms. Kavitha his sister.
Mr. Rama Rao highlighted Mr. Reddy’s contradictory actions and predicted his defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, drawing parallels with the fate of Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who left the party and subsequently lost in the Chevella constituency. The former minister also made it clear that the BRS cadre would not support Mr. Reddy’s candidacy in any manner, despite the Congress party’s hopes for potential backing.
Expressing confidence in the electoral prospects of BRS, he praised Kasani Gnaneshwar as a strong candidate for Chevella, stressing the latter’s longstanding commitment to social equality and advocacy for Backward Classes (BCs), minorities, and other communities in the constituency.
