Bharat Rashtra Samithi president and Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao considers himself a superman in the politics and all the other leaders of the opposition parties are insignificant characters before him.
Generally, KCR doesn’t take the name any opposition leader while criticising the rival parties like Pradesh Congress Committee president A Revanth Reddy or BJP leader Bandi Sanjay, as he feels they do not have any stature and it is below his dignity to talk about them.
The only opposition leaders who he often refers to are Prime Minister Narendra Modi or former PM Indira Gandhi or Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
But on Wednesday, KCR gave vent to his frustration by making personal attacks on Revanth Reddy. Addressing a rally at Kodangal, he even went to the extent of saying that Revanth should not become the chief minister at all.
He even announced that if Kodangal voters defeat Revanth Reddy, he would release hundreds of crores to the constituency for its all round development.
Unleashing an unprecedented attack on the PCC president, KCR called him a fraudster and landgrabber.
“Revanth will never become a Chief Minister as his party is bound to win in just about 20 seats in the forthcoming elections,” he said.
The chief minister said Revanth Reddy had no ethics, morals nor rules. He was accustomed to use foul language and had made abusive remarks against him without any respect for the Chief Minister’s post.
“There is no end to his loose tongue and filthy language. He calls Osmania University students daily-wage labourers and threatens to crush journalists who question his ways. He did not even hesitate to term Rythu Bandhu, which is aimed to support farmers, as alms. Congress leaders themselves are accusing the TPCC president of taking bribes and selling tickets. Do we need such people in politics?” he asked.
The Chief Minister recalled the aggressive behaviour of Revanth Reddy against the Telangana agitators during the separate Statehood movement.
“He was sitting in the lap of the Andhra rulers and worked in Telangana on their behalf. He even carried a rifle vowing to shoot down agitators who crossed paths with him,” he said.
KCR went on to say that the TPCC president had attempted to create uncertainty in Telangana by destabilising the democratically elected TRS (now BRS) government after State formation.
“People saw him on television channels when he was caught red-handed with Rs.50 lakh while trying to bribe a legislator. Despite spending several days behind the bars, he is shamelessly boasting about it, calling it a medal for him,” he said.
Pointing out that Revanth Reddy was now contesting against him in Kamareddy, the BRS president said people of Kamareddy were ready to defeat him.
“While people of Kamareddy will strip him of his shirt, voters in Kodangal should strip off entirely by serving him a stinging defeat and kick him out of politics,” he said, asking people not to fall prey to the empty promises of Revanth Reddy and ruin their lives.
