BJP: CM trying emotional blackmail to gain sympathy
Rajya Sabha member and senior BJP leader K. Laxman said that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, contrary to his usual ‘acerbic style’, has been trying to win over people of Telangana with ‘emotional blackmail’ on alleged ‘conspiracies’ to dethrone his government.
“The CM is trying to cover up his government’s failures and divert people’s anger by trying to earn their sympathy by talking about the sinister moves of the Opposition to make his government fall. This is at a time when crops are drying up in farms and he is being questioned about the nonimplementation of the guarantees promised,” he told a press conference at the BJP office on Friday.
Mr. Laxman claimed that if there is any threat to Mr. Revanth Reddy, it is from within his own party that is full of internal dis
sensions and different groups. “His (CM) party seniors like V. Hanumantha Rao are openly stating that he is being criticised for supporting the CM. We respect the people’s will and want this government to continue in power for five years and implement the promises made,” he said.
But, the BJP cannot be held responsible if the Congress government collapses due to its internal contradictions and the next government will be surely formed by BJP. He
also said that the CM’s ‘insecure’ demeanour could be due to the wide acceptance and popularity of Mr. Modi in the State.
“The Congress, BRS and MIM, which are ‘familyrun’ and ‘corrupt entities’, have forged a secret understanding to defeat BJP but they cannot match Modi’s charisma. Many leaders from these dynastic parties are either in jail or out on bail on corruption charges. They are all supporting Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal too,” he charged.
