Congress enacting a drama with BRS to divert public attention from its misrule: Bandi Sanjay
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has accused the ruling Congress party of enacting a drama along with the main Opposition BRS with Kavitha in the 'lead role' to divert public attention from its 'miserable failure' to implement the six guarantees. Speaking to reporters in Karimnagar on Saturday, Mr Sanjay alleged that the 'Kavitha issue' is a drama directed and produced by the Congress party. It is a ploy to cover up the Congress government's 18 months of misrule in the name of 'chit-chats', he said, adding, 'There is no question of any alliance between the BJP and the BRS.' Reiterating his charge that the BRS is a 'family party' infamous for 'politics of corruption and nepotism', Mr Sanjay said, 'The BJP had always kept the BRS at bay despite attempts by its top leaders to align with the BJP with selfish political motives to evade the arrest of Ms. Kavitha in the Delhi excise policy scam.' He said, 'People of Telangana have witnessed the misrule of both the BRS and now the Congress and decided to give BJP an opportunity this time. Despite the conspiracies by the Congress and the BRS, none can stop the BJP from coming to power in Telangana in the next Assembly elections.' Mr Sanjay came down heavily on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy over his reported remarks during the Congress party's 'Jaihind Yatra'. His remarks are highly objectionable and tantamount to demoralising Indian armed forces, he charged. Later, Mr Sanjay participated in various development programmes in Gangadhara and Boinpally mandals in the erstwhile composite Karimnagar district.
