  • Nadda criticizes KCR’s ‘misrule’ in Telangana

    Nadda criticizes KCR’s ‘misrule’ in Telangana

    Nagarkurnool: While it was nine years of ‘Seva, Sushasan and Garib Kalyan’ at national level under the rule of Prime Minister Narendra Modi bringing significant change in the lives of all sections of the people, in Telangana it was ‘Kalyan’ only for three people – CM KCR, his son KTR and his daughter Kavitha, said BJP national president J P Nadda at a public meeting in Nagarkurnool on Sunday.

    The public meeting was organised as part of ‘Nav Sankalp Sabha,’ to celebrate nine years of BJP rule. Nadda said KCR had changed his party’s name from TRS to BRS and it was an apt name as the ruling party in Telangana had become “Bhrastachar Rakshashula Samithi.”

    Referring to the meeting of 17 Opposition parties in Patna recently, Nadda described it as a ‘photo session’ of political parties which want to save their families from charges of corruption.

    He said Modi’s government in the last nine years has been working to take the country forward and had pumped a lot of funds towards infrastructural development for Telangana as well. The core principle of the BJP government at the Centre was good governance.

    For many Opposition parties, like RJD, Samajwadi, TMC and Congress, promoting the dynastic rule is more important and that is why they want to defeat the BJP at the national level. He said it would remain a daydream for them as they have lost their credibility. He said the BJP would be back in power for the third consecutive term.

    Turning his ire towards the BRS, Nadda said the situation in Telangana was no different. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and his family is working only for his personal and family interests. “When I say one family… KCR family, KCR himself, his son, his daughter have become BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samiti) while Telangana was pushed back,” the BJP chief alleged. Calling Dharani portal a tool to grab the land of the poor peasants by the BRS, he said if voted to power the BJP would scrap the portal.

    In Telangana, the BJP chief said the actions of the BRS government had dashed the dreams of all those who sacrificed their lives for a separate state. “Telangana is the only state where the prices are highest in the country,” he added.

    Nadda further said Modi’s government has worked for the empowerment of the poor, deprived sections, Dalits, women, etc, through various welfare schemes like PM Garib Kalyan Yojana, Ujwal Yojana, Kisan Samman Nidhi and PM Ayushman Bharat Yojana. Some of those schemes were also benefitting the people of Telangana, he added.

    Referring to the recent foreign visit of PM Modi to the US and Egypt, he said, earlier when PMs from India went to the US, the discussions on the table were on terrorism, Kashmir and Pakistan. ‘This time, it was development and economy. “It shows how the country has changed its image in the world in the last nine years,” he said.

    He asked the people to vote for the BRS if they want to promote the interests of the family members of the ruling party in Telangana and its progeny to come. “If you want to take Telangana forward then vote for the BJP,” he said.

  • Karnataka results, internal strife not easy for Telangana BJP

    Karnataka results, internal strife not easy for Telangana BJP

    Hyderabad (IANS) | The BJP, which till a few weeks ago was the main challenger to the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana, seems to have slipped to the third position in the election year here following infighting and its defeat in the Karnataka assembly elections.

    Not long ago the saffron party was projecting itself as the only viable alternative to the BRS in the state and its leaders were hoping that Telangana would become their second gateway into the south after Karnataka.

    However, today she finds herself batting on difficult wickets.

    Political analysts say a shift towards the Congress after the party’s landslide victory in Karnataka, BRS rebels preferring the grand old party over the BJP and growing voices of discontent against the state leadership have landed the saffron party in trouble. .

    With reports of some leaders joining the BJP and now planning to join the Congress, the morale of the party seems to be falling further.

    With only four-five months left for the elections, the BJP faces a tough challenge in going into the fray as a united unit.

    BJP MLA Eatala Rajender and former MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy are reportedly planning to quit the party and join the Congress.

    It will be a big embarrassment for the BJP as Rajendra is heading the committee or panel that has been tasked with wooing leaders of other parties to join the saffron camp.

    Chief Minister K. Rajendra quit the BRS in 2021 after he was dropped from the state cabinet by Chandrasekhar Rao. He had also given up his assembly seat, Huzurabad, and joined the BJP. In the by-election held the same year, Rajendra was re-elected with a large margin.

    Raj Gopal Reddy, who was the Congress MLA from Munugode, followed in the footsteps of Rajendra. Union Home Minister Amit Shah himself came to Munugode to welcome the businessman-politician into the party. However, Raj Gopal Reddy failed to repeat Huzurabad in Munugode last year and the BRS wrested the seat.

    Political analyst Palavai Raghavendra Reddy said, the BJP’s downfall had started after the defeat in Munugode. The party which was in aggressive mode started looking weak.

    Now that the Congress has regained its lost ground, Raj Gopal Reddy seems keen to return to the party fold. His brother and Bhongir MP Komatireddy Venkata Reddy is also making efforts to ensure his return.

    Both the leaders stayed away from the mass contact program organized by the BJP across the state on June 22 to reach out to 35 lakh households in a single day to highlight the achievements of the Modi government during the last nine years.

    Both Rajender and Raj Gopal Reddy as well as some other leaders like former MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who had quit the Congress to join the BJP, are unhappy with the working style of state unit president Bandi Sanjay Kumar.

    The BJP’s central leadership is worried about developments in Telangana, evident from the fact that both Rajendra and Raj Gopal Reddy have been called to Delhi, in what is seen as a last-ditch effort to persuade them to stay with the BJP .

    However, Sanjay is trying to put up a strong face. When asked about the plans of some BJP leaders to join the Congress, he said, “If someone wants to board a sinking ship, we cannot stop him.”

    In the BJP camp, infighting between different factions has been visible for several months.

    The differences surfaced again last month when Rajendra and other leaders went to Khammam to meet former MP Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and former minister Jupalli Krishna Rao without informing Bandi Sanjay and other senior leaders to invite them to join the BJP. Can go

    Since Srinivasa Reddy and Krishna Rao were recently suspended by the BRS for anti-party activities, Eatala and others held talks with them to persuade them to join the saffron party.

    Rajendra later reveals that both the leaders tried to persuade him to join hands with them to oust the BRS from power.

    Buoyed by its victory in the Karnataka elections, the Congress party seems to be overtaking the BJP in attracting rebels from other parties.

    Political observers say that with the recent induction of leaders from BRS and other parties, the Congress party has started emerging as the main challenger to the BRS.

    In the last few days, the Congress party has also been successful in wooing the rebel BRS leaders who earlier seemed to favor the BJP.

    With Srinivasa Reddy and Krishna Rao almost making up their mind to join Congress, the Congress party seems to be getting great success.

    This is not the first time that bitterness is being seen in the BJP camp. Recently, BJP MP Arvind Dharampuri, daughter of Chief Minister and BRS leader K. Bandi on Kavita came out in open against Sanjay’s alleged derogatory remarks. The Nizamabad MP had said that he did not agree with Bandi’s remarks.

    It was a blow to the party as Arvind is a bitter critic of CM KCR and his family. he 201

He said that Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy will participate in the discussion on behalf of the BJP. “Let the chief minister come for a debate,” he told reporters in Karimnagar. He demanded that KCR also explain why he failed to fulfill the promises made during the last elections and how he would repay the Rs 5 lakh crore loan.

    Sanjay reiterated that the BJP would come to power in Telangana on its own. He also made it clear that the BJP will continue with the good schemes. He said that BJP will also continue the Dharani portal with some changes. He remarked that it is a good move, but it is being used to serve the interests of the KCR family. We will do justice to those who have suffered losses due to the Dharani portal, he said.

    The BJP leader dismissed allegations by Congress party leaders that the BJP is in collusion with the BRS and claimed that there is a secret pact between the Congress and the BRS. He said it was the BJP, which defeated the BRS in the assembly bypolls in Dubbaka and Huzurabad, and also gave a tough fight to the party in the Munugode and Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections. He wants to know why the Congress did poorly in these elections.

    Sanjay also alleged that the BRS provided funds to the Congress party for the Karnataka elections. He claimed that Congress MP Komatireddy Venkata Reddy and senior leader Jana Reddy have already said that the BRS and the Congress will join hands.

    The BJP leader said that the nexus between the BRS and the Congress is evident from the fact that people elected on Congress tickets are joining the BRS. He said, KCR decides the candidates of both Congress and BRS. He has already decided candidates for 30 assembly seats.

    Sanjay also recalled that when the NDA fielded Draupadi Murmu, a tribal woman, as its candidate for the presidential election, the Congress and the BRS together tried to defeat her.
