Kishan Reddy tars BRS, Congress in graft paint
Hyderabad: Union Minister and State BJP chief Kishan Reddy expressed that the BJP is celebrating Telangana Formation Day with enthusiasm and grandeur in all districts. He extended his best wishes to the people of Telangana on behalf of the BJP and called the movement for the formation of Telangana, as one that got etched in world history as a non-violent struggle. Addressing the party celebrations held at the BJP Telangana state office on Monday morning to commemorate Telangana Formation Day, he addressed the gathering after unfurling the national flag. Kishan Reddy recalled the sacrifices made by over 1,200 young people and students for Telangana, highlighting that the protests spanned from Osmania University to the Parliament in Delhi. Kishan Reddy noted that the BJP was the first national party to actively participate in the Telangana movement, joining the Joint Action Committee (JAC) alongside other parties. He also mentioned that the BJP raised its voice in Parliament for essential resources like water, funding, and job appointments. However, after the formation of the state, he remarked that only KCR family's interests were served, and the people did not see the expected benefits. He expressed frustration over the misuse of thousands of crores of rupees in the name of water projects. Kishan Reddy recalled that when the police used rubber bullets and batons on students at Osmania University during the movement, BJP MPs nationwide stood in solidarity with the youth of Telangana. He urged that after 11 years of Telangana's formation, it is time for the people and intellectuals to reflect on the situation. He alleged that the 'golden Telangana' promised by KCR has not been realised; instead, only his family has flourished. Kishan Reddy clarified that while Telangana began with a surplus budget, it is now burdened with a debt of Rs 10 lakh crore, attributing this to the TRS and Congress regimes. He criticised both parties for corruption, highlighting them as family-run entities that deceive the public. He stated that the BJP is the alternative to rebuild the state and that the central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will foster development with ethics and honesty.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 2 (ANI): Union Minister and BJP state President G Kishan Reddy on Monday hoisted the national flag at the BJP state office in Nampally, Hyderabad, on the occasion of Telangana State Formation Day. BJP MP Eatala Rajender and other senior party leaders were also present at the celebration. Speaking to ANI after the flag hoisting ceremony, Kishan Reddy launched a scathing attack on former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and the Congress-led state government. 'Telangana state was formed with the slogan of water, funds, and employment, but the former Chief Minister of Telangana, KCR's family got all these. He said he would make Telangana a golden state, but his family became a golden family,' said Kishan Reddy. He further targeted the present Congress government, alleging that it too was indulging in exploitative practices. 'Now, the Congress government is also collecting RRR tax. When we come to power in Telangana, we will develop the state,' he added. Earlier on Monday, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, on the occasion of Telangana Formation Day, paid a floral tribute to Telangana Martyrs at the Martyrs Memorial at Gun Park. In a post on X, Revanth Reddy wrote,'For the aspirations of the martyrs. For the aspirations of the people. For the welfare of the poor. For the dreams of farmers.

Happy Formation Day to the people of the state.' Prime Minister Narendra Modi also extended greetings on Telangana Statehood Day.

Kavitha episode a family issue: Kishan
Hyderabad: BJP Telangana State president and Union Minister for Coal G Kishan Reddy has on Friday questioned the credibility of those who make comments claiming that BRS was proposed to be merged with BJP. Addressing media in the national capital on Friday, and without taking the name of BRS MLC K Kavitha and her reported remarks that she had opposed an attempt by her party leaders to merge BRS with BJP on Thursday, Kishan Reddy said: "It is all daddy-daughter, sister-brother drama. We and the people of Telangana have nothing to do with family drama." BRS is a private limited company. It is not a matter of concern to the people," he added. Turning his ire on the Congress and its leadership, the Union Minister said that during times of war in India, the populace has consistently supported the soldiers, putting aside political affiliations, caste, and religious differences. Following the recent terror incident in Pahalgam, people across the country have once again rallied behind the military. In response to the collective desire for retribution and to teach terrorists a lesson, 'Operation Sindoor' was launched under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said. This operation successfully targeted and destroyed terrorist bases in Pakistan, along with air bases used by the Pakistani Army in support of these groups, he added. He found fault with Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for raising misguided concerns. 'They, along with Robert Vadra, made statements that appeared to insult the sacrifices of our soldiers. Instead of asking how many terrorists were killed or inquiring about our soldiers' valour against Pakistan, they are fixated on questions like how many Rafale planes have been shot down," he said "This is unfortunate, as it reflects a lack of understanding on sensitive national security matters, especially from someone in opposition leadership," he pointed out. Responding to Revanth Reddy's comment that if Rahul Gandhi were the Prime Minister, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir would have been captured this time, Kishan Reddy pointed out that the Indian Army advanced as far as Lahore in Pakistan during the 1971 war, but those in the power at that time failed to capture POK. 'Revanth Reddy should understand who is responsible for giving PoK to Pakistan,' he said.

Congress disrespecting Indian armed forces: Kishan Reddy
Hyderabad: Union minister and Telangana BJP chief G Kishan Reddy on Friday accused the Congress of disrespecting the Indian armed forces . Speaking at a media briefing, Kishan Reddy said Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the public's demand for a strong counter to terrorism. He criticised Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy for making statements that, he claimed, undermined the Indian armed forces and insulted national security. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi "virtually alerted Pakistan about Operation Sindoor" and demanded an explanation, accusing him of speaking in Pakistan's favour rather than standing with India's interests. Kishan Reddy also slammed Revanth Reddy for suggesting that Prime Minister Modi called off military action under pressure from then US President Donald Trump and for claiming that the BJP lacked the courage to reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). "Such statements only serve to demoralise our armed forces," he said. Emphasising that Operation Sindoor was carried out with national support and transparency, Reddy said the army acted in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that the operation destroyed nine terrorist camps across Pakistan and PoK, eliminating over 100 terrorists.
