Mahabubnagar: Devarakadra MLA G Madhusudan Reddy (GMR) held a joint press conference with Aleru MLA Birla Ilaiyya at the CLP media point in Hyderabad on Friday. During the conference, GMR strongly criticised BRS leaders for their recent comments against the Congress government and its loan waiver initiative for farmers.
GMR highlighted the happiness among farmers after the Congress government waived loans for two lakh farmers. He accused BRS leaders, including Harish Rao and KT Rama Rao (KTR), of reacting with frustration and envy instead of appreciating the benefits of the loan waiver. “While farmers are celebrating relief from their debts, leaders like Harish and KTR are expressing dissatisfaction, which seems to come from a sense of loss,” GMR said.
He praised the Congress party for successfully implementing the loan waiver, despite inheriting a poor economy from the previous government. GMR emphasized that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy made history by waiving farmers’ loans to an unprecedented level, fulfilling a key promise made during the Parliament elections.
According to GMR, the Congress government has kept its promise by waiving loans of up to Rs 2 lakhs by August 15, making Telangana farmers debt-free. He urged BRS leaders to stop making baseless accusations against the Chief Minister, who he believes has fulfilled his commitments.
GMR also criticized Harish Rao, demanding his resignation as an MLA for allegedly misleading the public. He questioned the right of Harish and KTR to criticize the Chief Minister’s language, pointing out that the decline in political values in Telangana is rooted in the Kalwakuntla family.
The MLA further accused the previous BRS government of turning a once financially strong Telangana into a debt-ridden state. He praised Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka for their hard work and rise in politics, contrasting it with what he described as the BRS leadership’s disregard for democratic values. GMR also expressed concern over KTR’s comments on the judiciary, calling them disrespectful. “KTR’s statement about by-elections while a case is still in court is an insult to the judiciary system,” he remarked.
Addressing rumours of a potential merger between BRS and BJP, GMR mentioned that several BRS MLAs are voluntarily joining the Congress due to their preference for public governance. He hinted that more defections could happen soon.
On the topic of free bus travel for women, GMR reiterated that KTR should apologize for his negative remarks. He warned that women across the State would take action if such comments continue. “BRS leaders, including KTR and Harish, should avoid making inappropriate comments against the Chief Minister, or they will face consequences,” he concluded.
