Harish Rao rips into Revanth Reddy’s ‘frustrated rants’

Branding the outbursts of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy during his latest media interaction as sheer ‘frustrated rant’, senior BRS leader and MLA T. Harish Rao, on Saturday said the Congress government was all about policy failures, broken promises and covert BJP ties.

Addressing a news conference at Telangana Bhavan, he challenged the Chief Minister to an open debate on fee reimbursement and the six guarantees of the ruling party.

Defending the BRS’s decade-long legacy of development, he said Revanth Reddy's rule had failed to achieve results even after two years. The Chief Minister was instead begging voters to judge based on Congress's 2004-2014 tenure and not on his present achievements.

He recalled that Revanth Reddy had once lambasted the same 20042014 Congress rule as a corrupt and water-scarce regime. He also recalled Revanth Reddy's barbs calling Congress's Jal Yagnam a “Dhana Yagnam’. Revanth Reddy had accused the same Congress rule of Rs 1 lakh crore scams under quid pro quo.

He even criticised the Congress regime before bifurcation of the State for scarcity conditions stating that even his father’s funeral lacked water for rituals due to power outages.
