Pinarayi Slams Revanth Drawing Inspiration for HYDRAA From Hitler

Former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday strongly criticised Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy over his remarks linking the state anti-encroachment agency HYDRAA to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, alleging that the statement was shocking and an affront to democratic values. 

In a Facebook post, Vijayan said Reddy had publicly and proudly claimed that HYDRAA, the agency set up to implement what he termed a "bulldozer raj", was inspired by



Hitler, one of history's most notorious dictators.

The CPI(M) veteran alleged that a chief minister of a democratic country had openly spoken of drawing inspiration from a system associated with violence and authoritarianism. 

Calling the remarks "shameful", Vijayan said it was alarming that a Congress chief minister had publicly expressed admiration for a figure widely regarded as the embodiment of fascism.
