Welcoming the high court judgement giving permission for resumption of his “Praja Sangrama Yatra,” Telangana BJP president said the judgement was a slap on the face of chief minister K Chandrasekha Rao who sought to divert the people’s attention from the Delhi liquor scam involving his family members.
“The people have understood KCR’s evil designs in stalling my padayatra. But we had immense faith on judiciary and hence, we got the justice. I shall resume the padayatra immediately,” he said. Meanwhile, he restored his Pada Yatra, after three-days hit by police, after High Court order.
Sanjay reiterated his allegation that KCR had conspired to engineer communal riots in Hyderabad only divert the people’s attention from the nation-wide debate on the involvement of his family members in the Delhi liquor scam and shift the blame of triggering communal violence to the BJP.
He reminded that there were no communal riots in any of the BJP-ruled states, even when the Centre took bold decisions like abolition of Article 370, scrapping of Triple Talaq and construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. “People should understand why there are communal riots now in the old city,” he said.
He said the invitation extended to stand-up comedian Munwar Farooqui, who had made disparaging comments against Lord Ram and Sita, to Hyderabad was part of the conspiracy hatched by the chief minister in collusion with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).
“This was the root cause of the communal troubles in Hyderabad, which KCR wanted to use for political mileage by blaming the BJP,” Sanjay said, and appealed to the people to maintain restraint and not fall prey to the wily tactics of the chief minister.
Reacting strongly to KCR’s comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the inauguration of Ranga Reddy district collector’s complex, the BJP state president said it was disgusting on the part of the chief minister to convert an official programme into a political platform. “If he wants to make political criticism, he should go to Telangana Bhavan, not even Pragati Bhavan,” he said.
Sanjay demanded what the TRS government had done in the last eight years to Telangana, particularly in Ranga Reddy district. “You could not complete even 20 per cent of the Palamuru-Ranga Reddy district. How can you blame Modi for the same?” he asked.
The BJP chief said he had been clearly explaining to the people during the Praja Sangrama Yatra what the Centre had been doing to the state. “Why is the chief minister not explaining what he has done to the district, including double-bedroom houses or Dalit Bandhu or Mission Bhagiratha?” he asked.
Sanjay accused the TRS government of meting out a lot of injustice to the state, particularly southern Telangana, in Krishna river water sharing. “Instead of demanding 575 tmc of water in the Krishna river, the TRS government had signed the agreement for only 299 tmc. The chief minister had never raised the issue in any of the apex committee meetings,” he alleged.
