Hyderabad,
August 11: All India Congress Committee (AICC) National Spokesperson Dr. Dasoju
Sravan on Sunday accused TRS Working President K. Tarakarama Rao of indulging
in politics of dual standard.
Referring
to the speech delivered by KTR at an event in Telugu University on Saturday,
Sravan said KTR has rightly pointed out that a particular section has got
habituated of branding people as 'patriot' (Deshbhakt) if they support them and
others as 'betrayer' (Desh Drohi) if they oppose them. He asked KTR to
introspect the narrative being pursued by his own party. He said those joining
TRS are being portrayed as well wishers of Telangana and those in opposition
are being called betrayers of Telangana. He said there was no change in the
approach adopted by both TRS and the other group.
Raising
six important questions, Sravan asked as to why KTR did not think on these
lines when leaders not joining or supporting TRS were branded as 'Telangana
Drohi'. He asked as to why KTR did not think of threat to democracy by way
suppressing those who raise questions against the government when TRS purchased
MPs, MLAs and other elected representatives of opposition parties like
commodities. He said it was ridiculous that KTR was now talking about dangers
to democracy after having encouraged defections at a grand scale. He said why
this thought did not struck KTR when Dharna Chowk was scrapped and those
raising voice against TRS Government were sent to jail. He said it was strange
KTR was now talking about democratic practices after erasing entire opposition
from the Assembly and Council.
Sravan
ridiculed KTR for stating that the religion and politics should remain
separate. Why he did not get this thought when TRS allied with the MIM. If KTR
truly believes in what he said then TRS should immediately snap its ties with
the MIM, he demanded. Similarly, he said if KTR believes that BJP Government at
the Centre was pursuing religion-based politics, then why TRS supported Modi
Government in all its decisions like demonitisation, GST, elections of
President and Vice President of India, Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, NITI
Aayog chairman, Triple Talaq Bill, RTI Amendment Bill and Article 370.
The
Congress leader said people could not fooled always by changing colours like
chameleon. He asked KTR not to undermine the intellect and wisdom of people of
Telangana and stop practicing politics of double standards
