During Telangana tour, Rahul Gandhi attacked KCR, said- his ‘remote control’ is with PM Modi

Khammam (Telangana): Launching a scathing attack on Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said his remote control was with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and slammed the state’s ruling party as the ‘B-Team of BJP’ and its newly renamed BRS. Told ‘BRS’. ‘BJP Relative Committee’. Gandhi alleged that the corruption charges against Rao and his party leaders had made him subservient to the BJP, and insisted that he had told all other opposition leaders that the Congress would not join any faction where the BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) is included.

Addressing a public meeting here, Gandhi said, “BRS is like BJP’s kinship committee. KCR thinks he is a king and Telangana is his kingdom.”

Gandhi said the Congress has always stood against the BJP in Parliament, but Rao’s party has been the “B-team of the BJP”. The former Congress chief said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has remote control of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.”

He said that the Congress recently fought the assembly elections in Karnataka against a corrupt and anti-poor government and we defeated them with the support of the poor, OBCs, minorities and the oppressed in the state.

“Something similar is going to happen in Telangana as well. On one side there will be rich and powerful people of the state and on the other side we will have poor, tribals, minorities, farmers and small shopkeepers. What has happened in Karnataka will be repeated in Telangana,” Gandhi he said.

The Congress leader said that earlier it was said that there is a triangular fight in Telangana between TRS (Telangana Rashtra Samithi which is now BRS), Congress and BJP.

“But BJP doesn’t exist in Telangana. All their four tires are punctured. Now it is a fight between Congress and BJP’s B-team,” he added.

Referring to the recent efforts to unite the opposition against the BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Gandhi said, “We told other opposition leaders that if TRS attends the meeting, Congress will not attend it, Congress TRS Can’t share the stage with.

Over a dozen opposition parties recently met in Bihar’s Patna to forge a united front against the BJP and will soon meet again in Bengaluru. BRS and some other non-BJP parties are not part of this group.

Gandhi also described Congress workers as “Babbar lions” and the “backbone” of the party. “With your support, we can defeat the BRS as we did in Karnataka,” he told party workers.

“During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, we got overwhelming support from here (Telangana) and I want to thank all of you for that,” he said.

The Congress leader said, “During the visit, we talked about uniting the country. On the one hand we follow the ideology of uniting the country and the other side is trying to divide the country.”

“The whole country supported the yatra and said that they will not allow hatred in this country. Khammam has always supported Congress because it believes in our ideology. I welcome the leaders who have joined Congress today. But most importantly, I want to thank the party workers, who are like our Sher (Babbar Sher).”

He told party workers, “BRS attacked all of you but none of you got scared.”
