Taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s (BRS) Working President and Telangana Minister K T Rama Rao on Thursday said that senior Congress leader is not serious about politics and suggesed that he should consider starting an NGO instead of running a political party.
KTR criticized Rahul Gandhi’s said Rahul Gandhi’s lack of seriousness towards politics became evident when he skipped campaigning during the Gujarat Assembly elections and focused on his Bharat Jodo Yatra instead. He further pointed out that instead of engaging in serious political activities, Rahul Gandhi organized a “Mohabbat ki Dukaan” (Shop of Love) event in the USA.
Commenting on the Congress party’s victory in Karnataka, KTR attributed it to the failure of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rather than the contribution of the Congress.
“People of Karnataka rejected BJP’s inefficiency and corruption, and the election results in the State will not have any impact on Telangana. India needs an election and selection, not a rejection. However, unfortunately, people in Karnataka were left with lesser options,” he said.
KTR emphasized that India needs a process of election and selection rather than rejection, and criticized the limited options available to the people of Karnataka during the elections. He further stated that the election results in Karnataka would not have any impact on Telangana.
KTR said the BRS agenda is to introduce the ‘Telangana model’ to other States. He slammed that Congress failed in the past 70 years in developing the country and also as an opposition too as the party did not create an alternative model.
