Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy launched a scathing attack on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), questioning his political prospects and criticizing his son’s role in the party.
Speaking at a public event, the Chief Minister directly addressed KCR, stating that good days would not return for the BRS supremo as long as his son remains by his side. Revanth Reddy described the younger leader as a burden who would bury the party.
“How come good days will come KCR? As long as your son is next to you, he is a burden and will bury your party,” the Chief Minister said, making his criticism explicit.
The Congress leader went further, warning that if KCR gets another chance in power, it would bring drowning days rather than good times for the state. The remarks reflect the intensifying political rivalry between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS in Telangana.
Revanth Reddy also highlighted the changed political fortunes of the former Chief Minister. He described KCR’s current situation as pitiable, contrasting it with his days in power when he wielded significant influence.
The Chief Minister recalled how senior leaders, including former MPs and ministers like Mohammed Mahmood Ali and Eatala Rajender, were once turned away by home guards at KCR’s gate during his tenure as Chief Minister. He pointed out the stark difference in the present scenario.
“There was a time when MPs and ministers were sent away by home guards at KCR’s gate. But now he met Sarpanch and ward members,” Revanth Reddy stated, emphasizing the political decline of the BRS chief.
The remarks come amid ongoing political tensions in Telangana, with the Congress government and BRS engaging in regular verbal sparring over various issues. The criticism of KCR’s family politics appears to be part of the ruling party’s strategy to weaken the opposition’s influence in the state.
The Chief Minister’s comments about KCR meeting local-level leaders like sarpanches and ward members suggest a narrative of diminished political stature for the former Chief Minister who once commanded significant power in the state.
