KTR Accuses Congress of Violence, Vote-Buying in Telangana Municipal Polls

BRS Leader KTR Condemns Congress Tactics in Telangana Municipal Polls

In a strongly worded statement from Hyderabad, BRS working president KT Rama Rao has leveled serious allegations against the ruling Congress party regarding the conduct of the recent municipal elections. KTR asserted that despite facing numerous obstacles and attempts to sway voters, BRS workers demonstrated remarkable resilience and fought with unwavering determination throughout the electoral process.

Allegations of Violence and Financial Inducements

KTR specifically accused Congress leaders of resorting to violent tactics and using money to lure voters during the elections. He claimed that these actions were part of a broader conspiracy to alter the public mandate through the misuse of what he described as "crores of illegally looted public funds." The BRS leader warned that Telangana society would not remain silent in the face of such electoral manipulations.

In his statement, KTR issued a direct warning to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, stating that he would soon "pay a heavy price" for what KTR characterized as harassment and attacks against BRS ranks through the alleged misuse of the police system. He emphasized that regardless of the constraints faced or what he called false cases filed against party members, the BRS would continue its fight on behalf of the people relentlessly.

Praise for BRS Workers and Criticism of Government

KTR praised the fighting spirit displayed by BRS workers across Telangana, from Adilabad to Alampur, stating that their commitment had given the party immense strength and confidence. He contrasted this with sharp criticism of the chief minister, claiming that due to governance failures over the past two years, Revanth Reddy had resorted to violence in these elections out of fear of defeat.

The BRS leader further accused Revanth Reddy of abusing power at every step, motivated by concern that the setbacks faced by Congress in recent panchayat elections would be repeated in urban areas. KTR suggested that this fear-driven approach had led to what he described as undemocratic practices during the municipal polls.

KTR's statement represents a significant escalation in political rhetoric between the two major parties in Telangana, highlighting the intense competition in local elections and raising questions about electoral integrity in the state. The allegations come at a crucial time for both parties as they position themselves for future political battles in Telangana.
