"Revanth Reddy is CM in Congress, but KTR behaves as acting CM": Bandi Sanjay

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 9 (ANI): Senior BJP leader and Union Minister of State, Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday alleged that though Revanth Reddy was the elected Chief Minister of Telangana, he is allowing BRS working president KT Rama Rao to function as the defacto CM.
He accused Revanth Reddy of compromising with KTR, which is why despite KTR being the main accused in various scams like the Formula Race, rave parties, drugs, and Kaleshwaram, no action has been taken against him, as per a press release from Bandi Sanjay's office.
Sanjay recalled an incident where Revanth Reddy was arrested on the day of his daughter's wedding just because a drone flew over the farmhouse in Janwada.
Sanjay criticized the government for not arresting KTR, who is implicated in these current scandals. "Why the double standards?" he questioned, addressing Revanth Reddy, a statement from the release said.

Sanjay mentioned how he and Revanth Reddy fought relentlessly to dethrone the KCR government.
He accused Revanth of later siding with KCR's son and acting out fake fights during the day while reuniting at night. Sanjay further alleged that KTR is a big blackmailer and that he played a key role in many scandals under the previous government but hasn't been arrested.
The Minister of State for Home Affairs also mentioned the case where Revanth Reddy was arrested just because of a drone, even though it was his daughter's wedding day. But despite KTR being named as a key suspect in recent scams, he's still roaming free.
He pointed out the alleged corruption in the Kaleshwaram project and questioned why there was no action even though the Chief Minister's family was implicated.
Sanjay criticised that he commented that if the CM is Revanth Reddy in the Congress government, KCR's son is acting as the acting CM behind the scenes.
"Because as far as I know, Revanth Reddy is CM in Congress government.... KTR is the Acting CM. That is why Vijay Madduri, who was found with evidence in the Janwadha Farmhouse case, and Raj Pakala, the mastermind, were let go with petty cases. Even when all the media said that KCR's son was in this rave party, he didn't care," Sanjay said.
"Moreover, KCR, who never called the police when cases were filed against BRS workers, personally called the DGP when it involved his son-in-law's case--this clearly shows that for KCR, family comes before party workers. This is why BRS is lacking dedicated workers who genuinely think about the party's future. BRS MLAs have been looking for alternatives for a long time. Meanwhile, KCR himself has left the people's problems and the struggles of his workers behind, comfortably resting at his farmhouse. How can the public trust leaders who only appear during elections, all dressed up? BRS has become so weak that they're unable to find candidates even for the Graduate and MLC elections. They're not even in a position to compete anymore," he further added.
Furthermore, Sanjay suggested that Revanth Reddy should do his foot march in Hydra-affected areas along the Musi Riverbed instead of in Sangem.
He argued that this would truly make him aware of people's suffering. He urged Revanth to address the people directly on the six guarantees he has promised, as per a statement from the release.
Sanjay also claimed that KTR's arrogance had grown and that he had been making disrespectful comments without any sense of restraint.
"He's speaking recklessly about PM Modi without showing even basic respect for the Prime Minister. We will bring down this arrogance. It was BRS that destroyed the livelihoods of auto drivers. As soon as BRS lost power, without shame, they went to support the protests. BRS has reduced sarpanches to beggars, yet they're participating in the very protests against the hardships they created," Sanjay said.
Further he added that he wanted to convey to the protestors that joining the Congress and BRS parties would only demean them.
"My message to the protesters is simple: the very parties responsible for your issues are Congress and BRS. Joining them again will only demean you. Remember, it's the BJP that has been fighting for you from the beginning. To be honest, KCR's son is a coward. He lacks the courage to fight among the people and only talks on Twitter and in the media," he added.
On the legal notices sent by KCR' son, Sanjay questioned on why he wasn't countered if he was wrong.
"I replied to the legal notices KCR's son sent me, and since then, he's been silent. If what I said was wrong, why hasn't he countered me? Now, I'm telling you--I will be the one to send him a notice. In fact, for every arrogant or vulgar comment KCR's son makes, he could be served a notice every hour. He speaks with such arrogance, but soon, we will bring him down to reality. I didn't enter politics by using my father's name, nor did I gain positions by riding on my father's reputation. He doesn't even have the guts to fight for the six guarantees and has allied with Revanth. Who would believe him if he claims he'll topple the Congress government? Compared to KCR's son, Harish Rao is a leader with at least some credibility," he said. (ANI)
