Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao on Monday criticised the proposed Hate Speech and Hate Crime Prevention Bill 2026, alleging that it is politically motivated and aimed specifically at targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leaders.
Speaking on the issue, Rao said, "This is designed solely to target the BJP and its leaders.
The Karnataka government did
the same thing, only to suppress, oppress, and harass BJP workers. Telangana CM and the Congress party are worried about the BJP's growth.”
We will definitely oppose this act and, if necessary, challenge it on the legal front.
Rao also raised concerns about the handling of the ongoing Kaleshwaram project investigation, questioning the state government's intentions.
