Revanth suffering from KCR-phobia, misleading BCs on quota: KTR
HYDERABAD: Accusing Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of hoodwinking Backward Classes (BCs), BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Thursday said that the former was indulging in non-stop political theatrics. Rama Rao was addressing the gathering after welcoming leaders from various political parties from Pargi Assembly segment into the BRS. He alleged that the Congress had blatantly misled the people on the issue of BC reservations. 'They said they would provide 42% reservations with legal backing before the Assembly elections. But now Revanth says BC reservation will only be granted if Rahul Gandhi becomes prime minister. Was this condition mentioned in the BC Declaration?' he asked. Rama Rao recalled that BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao went to Delhi with a mission to secure Telangana statehood and he succeeded in his endeavour. 'Can Revanth claim he succeeded in getting BC reservations from Delhi?' he asked. Taking a dig at Revanth for repeatedly mentioning Chandrasekhar Rao's name, he said: 'Even in Delhi, Revanth Reddy couldn't resist mentioning KCR's name. It looks like he is mentally obsessed with KCR. He's suffering from a clear case of KCR-phobia.' He further said that the Congress government was using the BC quota issue to divert people's attention from its failures. Rama Rao, meanwhile, urged voters to support the BRS in the local body elections if they want to curb the atrocities of the Congress.

KTR denies buzz on BRS-BJP merger; warns pink party foes
Hyderabad: Refuting the claims of merger of BRS into BJP, the BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Thursday said the BRS will be there until Telangana exists and also threatened that the party would settle scores with all those who were targeting the cadre. Rama Rao said that after BRS comes into power, they would settle the scores with all. 'A few police personnel are doing extras, we are all noting down their deeds. It is my responsibility to settle the scores of all,' said Rama Rao while speaking in a gathering of leaders of several parties from Parigi Assembly constituency, who had joined BRS at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday. Launching a scathing attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the Congress government, accusing them of deceiving Backward Classes and indulging in non-stop political theatrics, the BRS leader strongly criticised the Congress' handling of BC reservations and governance failures. Rama Rao alleged that the Congress party blatantly misled the people on the issue of BC reservations. 'They promised 42 per cent reservations with legal backing before the elections and secured votes. But now, CM Revanth Reddy says BC reservations will only be granted if Rahul Gandhi becomes Prime Minister. Was this condition mentioned in the BC Declaration?' he asked. Drawing a sharp contrast, KTR reminded that KCR went to Delhi with a mission to secure Telangana statehood and succeeded. 'Can Revanth claim he brought back BC reservations from Delhi?' he challenged. KTR ridiculed the Chief Minister, stating that even in Delhi Revanth couldn't stop talking about KCR. 'It appears Revanth is mentally obsessed with KCR. He's suffering from a clear case of KCR-phobia,' KTR mocked. He added that the Congress government was using the BC reservations issue as a diversion while ignoring other commitments made in the BC Declaration.

KTR accuses Congress government of betraying BCs
HYDERABAD BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao accused the Congress government of betraying Backward Classes (BCs) by 'enacting a political drama' in the name of protest for approval of BC Bills in Delhi. Welcoming new leaders and cadre from the Parigi constituency into the party's fold at Telangana Bhavan here on Thursday, KTR slammed the Congress's handling of BC reservations issue. He alleged that the Congress has blatantly misled people on the issue of BC reservations. 'They promised 42% reservations with legal backing before the elections and secured votes. But now, CM A. Revanth Reddy says BC reservations will only be granted if Rahul Gandhi becomes Prime Minister. Was this condition mentioned in the BC Declaration?' he asked. KTR also ridiculed the Chief Minister, stating that even in Delhi, Mr. Revanth Reddy could not stop talking about KCR. 'It appears that Mr. Revanth Reddy is obsessed with KCR. He's suffering from a clear case of KCR-phobia,' he said. The former minister also alleged that the Revanth Reddy government had completely failed to fulfil the poll promises. He admitted that during BRS's 10-year rule, the focus was on Telangana's development, and the cadre may not have received individual attention. But he assured that once BRS returns to power, workers would be given due recognition and growth opportunities. He appealed to the party workers to work hard to ensure party's victory in every village during the upcoming local body elections.
