Revanth alleges secret deal between ‘BRS-BJP combine’ to defeat Congress

-

Stating that a vote for Congress candidate Sunita Mahender Reddy was a vote for himself, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said the ‘BRS-BJP combine’ was desperate to defeat Congress only to undermine his image.

“Former chief minister K. Chandrasek­har Rao has a secret deal with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for žve seats which the latter doesn’t want the Congress to win, only to personally hurt me. This includes the Malkajgiri constituen­cy that I represente­d in Parliament before becoming the Chief Minister. That is why the BRS has želded a dummy candidate to help BJP,” Mr. Reddy said at an election meeting in the constituen­cy on Monday.

Mr. Reddy alleged that the deal was a part of securing bail for BRS MLC K. Kavitha in the Delhi liquor policy case, and urged the people to see through the game of BRS that was battered by the Congress in the December 2023 Assembly elections.

Ridiculing BJP candidate Eatala Rajender’s claims that he has personal relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and would get funds for developmen­t, Mr. Reddy sought to know how much funds he had been able to secure for the Huzurabad seat he held in the last Assembly if that was true. “If Mr. Rajender was so close to PM Modi and Mr. Shah, why did he not impress upon them for an inquiry into the Kaleshwara­m project corruption, KCR and K.T. Rama Rao’s corruption in Hyderabad lands earlier,” he questioned.

He also asked Mr. Rajender to respond to the Prime Minister’s allegation­s that Congress would pass on the wealth of Hindus to Muslims. “Being a Communist at heart, Mr. Rajender should respond to such ridiculous and unconstitu­tional claims,” he said.
