The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has strongly condemned the comments made by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at a Congress party meeting held on Friday stating that the Telangana society should boycott BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and he (KCR) has no right to live in Telangana.

In a statement, former minister T. Harish Rao observed that despite holding the Chief Minister’s position Mr. Revanth Reddy had failed to grow as an individual and often used filthy and unparliamentary language against his political opponents. He asked Mr. Revanth Reddy to ask people either in his constituency Kodangal or in his native place Kondareddypalle as to who had no right to live in Telangana now.

He remarked that it was Mr. Revanth Reddy who was not eligible to live in the Telangana society for using such atrocious language to hog headlines. The Chief Minister would also pay a heavy price for playing politics in the name of caste survey, which was termed a useless exercise by the Congress’s MLC itself.

If the Chief Minister is capable, he must convince the BC leaders in the Congress first and the genuineness of the statistics, the BRS leader said adding that it was the Chief Minister who had gone insane as on one hand, he was claiming the survey results as correct and on the other he was talking about re-survey.

Another former minister V. Prashanth Reddy reminded Mr. Revanth Reddy that it was the latter who had strongly opposed the integrated household survey conducted by BRS in 2014 asking why people should give their details to officials.
