KTR challenges CM Revanth to prove public support by seeking by-elections

BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Friday threw an open challenge to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to prove his claim of enjoying 66 per cent public support by making the 10 defected BRS MLAs resign and seek a fresh mandate through by-elections. 

He said the Chief Minister’s claims of popular approval in the panchayat polls lacked credibility.

Addressing the newly elected BRS sarpanches, deputy sarpanches and



ward members after their felicitation in Sircilla, Rama Rao ridiculed Revanth Reddy’s contradictory statements made during a press conference in Hyderabad on Thursday. 

He pointed out that the Chief Minister first termed the Congress performance in local body polls as people’s blessing for his government, only to claim minutes later that local body elections were fought on local issues and caste, not on government performance.
