KCR and Modi indulged in phone tapping. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy issued a stern warning to BRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao, asserting that he would not hesitate to send him to Cherlapalli jail for his inflammatory remarks against the Congress government. Taking a firm stand, Revanth Reddy emphasized that he was not as passive as Congress senior leader K. Jana Reddy and would take decisive action.
Referring to Rao's recent use of abusive language against him and the Congress government during his district visits, the Chief Minister declared, "I am not like Jana Reddy, I am Revanth Reddy. I will send you to Cherlapalli jail and make you eat chippa koodu (jail food) if you continue to provoke me."
Despite Rao's previous provocations in Nalgonda and Karimnagar, Revanth Reddy had shown restraint. However, he emphasized that Rao had "crossed all limits" during his recent press conference in Suryapet. Revanth Reddy warned Rao against provoking Congress cadres, stating that they would retaliate fiercely. He vividly described how they would strip Rao of his dignity if provoked further.
Daring Rao to seek votes where the BRS had provided double bedroom houses for the poor, Revanth Reddy championed the Congress's efforts in housing schemes. He criticized Rao's leadership during his tenure, accusing him of causing significant damage to Telangana.
Revanth Reddy urged voters to ensure victory for the Congress in 14 Lok Sabha seats in the state, promising that a Congress-led Central government would bring funds and projects to Telangana. He expressed confidence in the "Tukkuguda sentiment," likening it to the movement that propelled the Congress to power in the Assembly polls.
In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Revanth Reddy accused him of failing to fulfill key promises made during election campaigns. He urged party cadres and the public to reject the BJP at the Centre, just as they had rejected the BRS in Telangana. He defined NaMO as “Nammithe Mosam” (deceives those who believe him).
Revanth Reddy's strong stance against Rao and Modi reflects the intensified political climate in the state, with the upcoming Lok Sabha elections looming large.
