Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay lamented that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has lost courage to arrest KCR and his family members after making claims of getting solid evidence of corruption against them.
“You claimed that there is evidence of KCR’s family’s involvement in the Kaleshwaram, phone tapping, drugs, and Formula E race scams. Why haven’t you arrested anyone even after 14 months? Is it because you’ve truly lost your courage? Or did KCR strike a deal with the Congress high command in Delhi to weaken the growing BJP in Telangana by secretly collaborating with BRS and diluting the cases?”, he asked.
During the MLC election campaign in Chennur, Mancherial district, Bandi Sanjay said that under Congress rule, farmers, employees, graduates, and teachers are suffering. BJP MLA Venkataramana Reddy, BJP-backed graduate candidate Anji Reddy, former MLA Chintala Ramachandra Reddy, and local leaders were also present.
Sanjay ridiculed that Congress is facing a shortage of candidates, which is evident from the fact that they had to bring in an outsider as their graduate candidate. For the other two constituencies, he said they couldn’t even find candidates and BRS is staying out of the race to help Congress win. He alleged that this is because BRS wants to avoid arrests in scam cases by striking a secret deal with Congress.
He recalled that KCR sent Revanth Reddy to jail and he was arrested and put behind bars on his child’s wedding day. But, Sanjay wondered why is he not arresting KCR’s family even after they have been involved in massive scams? He said that it is shameful that he is joining hands with BRS to suppress the growing BJP in Telangana.
In 14 months of Congress rule, Sanjay deplored that people have suffered immensely. They promised to fill 2 lakh job vacancies within a year. They said they would provide an unemployment allowance of Rs 4,000 per month. It has been 14 months, and Rs 56,000 is pending. Loan waivers haven’t been fully implemented. There is no sign of Rythu Bharosa, he added.
Sanjay asserted that BJP fought for the people, took baton charges for teachers and shed blood and broke limbs fighting for the unemployed. “When I was fighting on behalf of the people, they filed a Hindi paper leak case against me, arrested me at midnight, and put me in jail. When I went to the united Nalgonda district to understand the farmers’ issues regarding paddy procurement, BRS thugs tried to scare me by pelting stones”, he said.
Moreover, he alleged that near Thungathurthi, they tried to burn them alive by pouring petrol and kerosene at the function hall where they were staying. “Yet, we fought bravely without fear”, he said.
