Ramchander Rao lashes out at Revanth over his ‘converted BC' remarks on Modi
Hyderabad: Mounting a vitriolic attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, the Telangana State BJP chief N Ramachander Rao questioned how Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, with a Parsi grandfather and a Catholic mother, could claim to be a 'Janudhari Brahmin' while Prime Minister Narendra Modi is labeled a 'converted BC'? In a chit chat with the media on Friday, Ramachandra Rao claimed that the Telangana Chief Minister might be under the illusion of having invented a new category, referring to 'converted BC.' He criticized the Congress party for being willing to stoop to any low for the sake of power, emphasizing the need for civilized political discourse. Rao noted that Modi's community was included in the list of OBCs by the Gujarat State BC Commission long before Modi entered politics. Various communities have been recognized by their respective State BC Commissions over the years. According to him, the Chief Minister's rhetoric constitutes not only a personal attack on Modi but also an insult to everyone included in the BC category, exposing the Congress party's anti-Backward Classes mindset. Ramachander Rao highlighted that the BJP supports the state government's policy of 42 percent reservations for BCs, but the responsibility for its implementation lies with the Congress-led government in Telangana. He listed several cases related to the Supreme Court's 50 percent reservations cap, indicating that incorporating this cap under Schedule IX is subject to judicial review. He also mentioned that the BJP opposes religion-based reservations, clarifying that the party is not against Muslims. He pointed out that Muslims have already been provided reservations under the BC-E and EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) categories. Besides, Congress seeks to provide an additional 10 percent reservation for Muslims across the community. Rao reminded that it was during the BJP-led NDA government that separate SC and ST Commissions and Ministries were created at the national level. Furthermore, it was the BJP government under PM Modi that granted constitutional status to the OBC Commission. He highlighted that the BJP has an OBC Morcha, has appointed a BC Prime Minister, and has given more opportunities to BCs, SCs, STs, and minorities than the Congress party. Regarding Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's support for former Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatraya for the Vice President position, Ramachandra Rao dared the Chief Minister to step down and appoint Minister Ponnam Prabhakar or the Pradesh Congress chief as the Chief Minister to prove his and his party's commitment to BC interests. Ramachander Rao announced that a new state party committee would be formed in the next week. He urged leaders and party workers to work diligently to strengthen the BJP and to focus on the mission of bringing the party to power in Telangana. In response to a question, he stated that the national party would address any differences among party leaders privately, emphasizing that the BJP is like a family and that it is better to resolve issues internally rather than airing grievances in public.

BRS alleges ‘shameless political nexus' between Cong, BJP
Hyderabad: In a scathing attack, BRS Working President KT Rama Rao on Friday accused both the Congress and BJP of operating a 'shameless political nexus' in Telangana. He alleged that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's government was blatantly anti-Dalit and anti-tribal. Speaking at a student convention marking the merger of Telangana Rashtra Vidyarthi Sainik Parishad into the BRS student wing, Rama Rao questioned the silence of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the alleged collusion between Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and BJP MP CM Ramesh. Rao alleged that the Congress government in Telangana was awarding contracts worth thousands of crores to BJP leaders, specifically citing the Rs 1,600 crore 'Fourth City Road' contract given to CM Ramesh. 'While the Congress Chief Minister hands out massive contracts to BJP MPs, Rahul Gandhi chooses to remain silent. Is he unaware of this dangerous alliance?' he demanded. KTR also mocked Revanth Reddy for celebrating a letter from Sonia Gandhi, stating that Revanth had misinterpreted a polite message as high praise. 'He couldn't even read the letter properly. Instead of an Oscar, he deserves a 'Bhaskar Award',' KTR quipped. He further cast doubt on the authenticity of Revanth Reddy's educational qualifications, remarking, 'When he can't understand a simple letter, it raises legitimate suspicions about his degree.'

"The government which cannot repair the roofs of the schools of our children, despite complaints, for the future of the country, shows big dreams of 'Viksit Bharat'," he said. Live Events According to a news report from the previous day, water in a school run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi was so much that the teachers themselves had to take the nursery children to a safe place, he said. Today, the news has come that the building of a school in Jodhpur has become so dilapidated that the children are forced to study under a neem tree, he said. "The BJP, which boasts a lot about development, has ruined the country. Bridge collapses, train accidents, cracks in newly built roads, statues of great personalities getting damaged after inauguration - all these have become common," he alleged. "The attention of the BJP is focused on only one thing - hunger for power!" Kharge said. Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi also lashed out at the BJP over the incident. "It is extremely saddening and worrying that several innocent children died and many others were injured when the roof of a government school collapsed in Jhalawar, Rajasthan," he said on X. "According to media reports, the government ignored the complaints about dilapidated schools, due to which these innocent children lost their lives. Most of these children belonged to the Bahujan Samaj - do their lives have no value for the BJP government?" Gandhi said. "There should be an impartial investigation of this incident and the culprits should be given the strictest punishment," he asserted. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the news of the death of several innocent children and injuries to many due to the collapse of the roof of a school in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, is extremely saddening. "According to reports, serious negligence regarding the dilapidated building took the lives of the innocent children. The matter should be investigated immediately, and strict action should be taken against the culprits," she said. Slabs of concrete, bricks and stones were piled up high, and scores of people, including frantic parents and teachers, helped in the rescue effort, searching through the mounds of debris to pull out the children.
