None from KCR family will be allowed into Cong till I am there: Revanth
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Wednesday said no member of BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao's family will have an entry into as long as he was at the helm and termed them as 'enemies' of Telangana. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The CM was replying to queries in an informal chat with reporters in New Delhi, before returning to Hyderabad after his three-day trip, regarding speculations over BRS MLC K Kavitha following her letter to KCR recently and her subsequent statements. He dubbed her rebellion as a family drama to seek people's attention as BRS had become almost irrelevant in Telangana politics, drawing a parallel with the Telugu movie 'Assembly Rowdy'. The CM said despite Kavitha openly stating that 'devils' have gathered around KCR, the BRS chief was yet to respond to his daughter's accusations. "The entire KCR family is trying to ensure that political discussions revolve around them. But they are traitors of Telangana," Revanth alleged. When asked to comment on KCR's appearance before the PC Ghose commission probing Kaleshwaram project, the CM said: "Today, KCR gave his version of the Kaleshwaram project to the commission. In two days, I will come out with all the details of the project in front of the media. The people of Telangana should know the facts." He also slammed Union minister G Kishan Reddy, accusing him of creating hurdles in the development of Telangana. "Kishan Reddy is acting at the behest of KCR. Several infrastructure projects such as the Regional Ring Road have been delayed due to his interference. I ensured land acquisition for Cherlapally railway station," he said, explaining the state govt's proactive role. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Kishan Reddy has not brought a single key project to Telangana from the Centre. But, if he comes forward for development of the state, I am ready to hold a review meeting on projects with him. I want to ask Kishan Reddy whether he ever gave a report on Telangana projects or at least asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to grant a project to Telangana. Did Kishan Reddy ever mention Telangana issues in the Union Cabinet?" Revanth asked. Pointing out that Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman took Metro rail to Chennai and another Union minister took Metro rail project to Karnataka, he said that Kishan Reddy did nothing for Telangana. 'Naxalism reduced in Telangana due to Indira's land reforms' Responding to queries on Naxalism, Revanth Reddy said their ideology will exist in some form or the other as long as societal inequalities persist. After Indira Gandhi became PM, land reforms were brought in as a result of which Naxalism declined in Telangana. Indira brought the slogan of 'land belongs to tillers' and distributed land pattas to lakhs of SC and ST families, he said. The previous Congress govts also built houses for the homeless, he said.
