Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief A. Revanth Reddy got emotional during his campaign in Munugode and urged people to reject money politics of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that Congress cannot compete in ugly votes. The distribution of money to ‘buy’.
With teary eyes, he said that Congress has only one way of distributing money, that is looting. Urging people to save democracy, he said, “Don’t expect us to distribute money as we cannot match BJP and TRS in money politics.”
With anguish in his voice, he also said that there was a conspiracy to remove him from the post of PCC chief and BJP and TRS were secretly supporting it to kill Congress. “It is not my property and I don’t understand why there is such a conspiracy to remove me,” he said. The Congress cadre feels that the tone was for his opponents in the party apart from TRS and BJP.
The utter ignorance of the Congress’ complaints against the BJP and the TRS by the Election Commission was also cited as a cause for dismay. He said that the Election Commission, despite being a national party, did not even heed his complaint of pushing Congress behind TRS in the number of ballot boxes. The Congress had also complained that ministers were using government vehicles for campaigning and that a picture of Labor Minister Malla Reddy giving liquor to others in the constituency.
