Bay of Bengal beacons TRS-BJP: Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad, Jan 4: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President A Revanth Reddy, MP on Tuesday said just a year is left to when the two bosom buddies Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to head to the Bay of Bengal and drown themselves there. He said that the recent utterances and trading of charges by the two parties against one another, is just meant for public consumption, while they indulge in dubious behind-the-scene manipulations.

Mr Reddy, in a media statement said that the “theatrics” that the two parties are engaged in while ostensibly blaming each other is not missing the eye of the people of Telangana, who are reading between the lines and waiting to serve a deadly blow on both opportunists for their “anti-people” approaches.
“The so-called arrest of the BJP’s State President Bandi Sanjay Kumar reportedly because he is ‘set to create public unrest’ with his programme at Karimnagar is yet another classic instance of fooling the gullible people. It is not just the Congress party but every individual from Telangana realizes that this is part of a stage-managed drama being enacted by a known betrayer like K Chandrasekhar Rao and his comrades-in-crime from the State BJP, particularly Sanjay Kumar,” he said.
Politically speaking the arrest of Sanjay Kumar is a part of the deal between the two leaders to show that BJP is the primary opposition in Telangana, he alleged.
“The Congress has been reiterating that TRS and BJP have struck a secret pact whereupon they criticize each other openly but remain the best of buddies behind closed doors. Misleading the public is second nature to leaders from both parties. This gains credence from the way the two approached issues concerning the state. The paddy procurement issue seemed to have reached a climax when KCR and the BJP leaders blamed each other of being anti-farmers,” Revanth Reddy said.
The TPCC Chief said that it was ridiculous that for a party that has been blaming KCR of betraying the trust of farmers, the NDA government at the Centre should rally behind the TRS leadership and agree to Telangana’s demand for increasing the quota to be lifted. It has done it again by putting off the proposed GST hike on textiles and handlooms from five to 12 percent. Don’t these expose that they are birds of the same feather?.
