Hyderabad, August 11: All India Congress Committee (AICC) National
Spokesperson Dr. Dasoju Sravan alleged that the TRS and BJP have hatched a
secret conspiracy to damage the Congress party in Telangana State.
Speaking to media persons here on Sunday, Sravan alleged that both TRS
and BJP were same sides of a coin with both sharing the common objective of
causing damage to the Congress party. He pointed out that all Union Ministers,
during their visit to Telangana, were praising the TRS Government. In turn, TRS
is extending unconditional support to all the decisions of BJP Government. Both
parties are working in 'Made for Each Other' mode. In contrast to the real
behaviour and understanding, both BJP and TRS are misleading the people by
enacting drama of rivalry, he alleged.
Sravan said there was neither any scope nor hope of BJP emerging as a
political force in Telangana State. He said BJP candidates could not secure
deposit in 103 out of 119 Assembly seats in the elections held in December
2018. Despite having such a humiliating performance, he said BJP leaders were
making tall claims of emerging as an alternate to ruling party. He said
Telangana BJP President K. Lakshman has no moral right to criticise TPCC
President & Nalgonda MP Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy. He said Uttam Kumar
Reddy had served the Indian Air Force as a fighter pilot and risked his life on
multiple occasions to protect the nation. Therefore, making personal remarks
against a retired soldier and questioning his abilities is highly regrettable,
he said.
The Congress leader said that the BJP neither got an opporunity nor
will get one to strengthen itself in Telangana. He said the victory of BJP on
four Lok Sabha seats in last elections was totally incidental and unexpected
and it made its leaders start day-dreaming about winning next Assembly
elections. He said BJP could never become an alternate to the Congress and this
dream of BJP leaders would remain unrealised.
Sravan cited several examples of strong friendship between TRS and
BJP. He reminded that when Prime Minister Narender Modi visited Gajwel on
August 7, 2016 to inaugurate Mission Bhagiratha scheme, both PM Modi and Chief
Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao praised each other. KCR went to the extent of
saying that Telangana does not want anything from the Centre but he wants a
little space in PM Modi's heart. Similarly, Union Minister for Surface
Transport Nitin Gadkari, during his visit to the State on 5th May 2018 praised
the roads in Telangana State. On 18th September 2018, the then Union Minister
of State for Home Affairs visited Punjagutta Police Station and showered praise
on the Law & Order situation in Telangana. While Union Minister Prakash
Javedkar praied the Haritha Haratha programme, other BJP ministers Ahluwalia
and V.K. Singh, during their visits to Hyderabad, praised the Telangana
Government for different things.
The Congress leader asked as to why BJP Government was not conducting
fast track investigation into the ESI and PF scams involving KCR despite CBI
registering a case. He challenged BJP leaders to convince their party's
government at the Centre to order CBI probe into the cases of Gangster Nayeem,
Miyapur land scam, Drugs Mafia and irregularities in the irrigation projects.
Similarly, he asked TRS leaders to clarify whether or not their party gave
unconditional support to the BJP Government on 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.
Sravan despite having friendship for political and personal gains with
the BJP, TRS failed to pressurise the BJP Government at the Centre on approving
the Bill for enhancing Muslim reservation to 12% which was passed in the
Assembly on 16th April 2017. He said other promises made in the Andhra Pradesh
State Reorganisation Act like a Steel Factory at Bayyaram, Railway Coach
Factory at Qazipet, Tribal University and national status for an irrigation
project remained unfulfilled.
He alleged that both TRS and BJP were true, but secret, allies and
enacting the rivalry drama to cheat the people of Telangana while causing huge
loss to the State. (Ends)
