Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s working president, K.T. Rama Rao, extended an invitation to former minister Jeevan Reddy to join the party. Reddy, who recently resigned from the Congress party, was visited by Rao at his residence in Jagtial on behalf of party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), with several party leaders present. Responding positively to the invitation, Reddy expressed happiness over the visit and his long-standing association with KCR, indicating a forthcoming decision after meeting KCR.
Highlighting the importance of experienced leaders like Jeevan Reddy for Telangana’s growth, Rao emphasized the need for KCR’s return as Chief Minister to ensure stability and prosperity for farmers and the underprivileged. He noted Reddy’s four-decade commitment to the Congress party and his prior invitation to join BRS before the 2014 elections, citing loyalty as the reason for his continued Congress affiliation. Rao also underscored the enduring personal bond between KCR and Reddy, marked by mutual respect over the years.
Acknowledging Reddy’s advocacy for farmers and his efforts on issues like Nizam Sugars, Rao praised the support offered by Reddy even in opposition, exemplified by KCR’s swift approval of development works requested by Reddy during his first official tour as Chief Minister in 2014. Rao thanked the Jagtial district leadership for backing Reddy’s induction into BRS, highlighting the party’s commitment to regaining power and strengthening its position with Reddy’s potential entry.
Rao criticized the Congress government for governance failures and diversionary tactics, alleging defaults on farmer schemes and misleading promises. He condemned Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s remarks as disrespectful and unfitting for a state leader, accusing the government of reneging on job promises and financial transparency. Rao pointed out growing dissatisfaction within the Congress ranks, with calls for BRS’s return to power and accusations of leadership deception and disrespect towards senior members.
