BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Friday dared Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to seek votes in the Jubilee Hills bypoll based on his 24 months of governance.
Stating that the Chief Minister conceded defeat even before polling by declaring that the bypoll was not a referendum on his administration, he asked why Revanth Reddy was running away from the people’s verdict if he truly believed in his governance. Urging the people to deliver a decisive verdict by electing the BRS in Jubilee Hills bypoll to force the Congress government to implement its six guarantees, he contrasted the BRS’ decade of governance with two years of destruction under Congress.
Addressing a massive roadshow in Vengalrao Nagar, Rama Rao listed out the growth of the IT sector, construction of TIMS and other government hospitals, 42 flyovers and underpasses, one lakh double-bedroom houses and a top ranking for the State’s economy during the BRS rule. He charged that Revanth Reddy’s tenure had reversed progress, hitting jobs across real estate, transport and small trade and driving away investment.
The former Minister lambasted the Congress for unleashing the HYDRAA demolition drive on the poor while sparing the influential. He urged voters to empower the BRS with their votes and ensure that the bulldozers would never enter their localities illegally. Displaying visuals on LED screens installed at the venue, he showed the illegal
constructions and farmhouses of Congress Ministers.
“If Revanth Reddy really believes in justice, let him demolish his Ministers’ illegal properties. HYDRAA bulldozers should not stop at the homes of the poor,” he warned.
Rama Rao accused the Congress government of betraying every section of society including farmers, students, youth, and women by failing to deliver on the six guarantees. “If you vote for the Congress now, Revanth Reddy will take it as approval for its deception. Defeat the Congress to compel them to implement their promises,” he urged voters.
Targeting Revanth Reddy, the BRS working president questioned the former’s sudden love for the late NT Rama Rao. He reminded that it was the Congress that had toppled NTR’s democratically elected government in 1982 and removed his name from the Shamshabad airport. “The same party now garlanding his statue for votes is hypocrisy at its worst,” he said, recalling Revanth Reddy’s past comments disparaging NTR.
Rama Rao called on the voters of Jubilee Hills to deliver a decisive verdict that would end two years of corruption, arrogance and administrative failure. He said the bypoll was not merely about one constituency, but about the future of four crore population of Telangana.
“Use your vote and send a strong message that Hyderabad will not tolerate deceit, misrule, and political arrogance,” he said.
