Hyderabad: Roads and buildings minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Friday mounted a sharp attack on the opposition BRS and BJP , accusing their leaders of taking pleasure even during public distress caused by widespread drought-like conditions.
“We are not making false promises like the previous BRS govt did regarding a Dalit chief minister or 24-hour power supply.
We are placing the facts before the people,” Komatireddy said, adding that the Revanth Reddy-led Congress govt remains committed to ensuring round-the-clock quality power despite climate challenges and rising demand. “I advise the BRS leadership to abandon their star-hotel and farmhouse culture, liquidate their illegally acquired properties, and return to public service as ordinary citizens,” the minister said. He dismissed the previous BRS govt’s claims of delivering uninterrupted free electricity as false propaganda. He also levelled corruption allegations against BRS working president KT Rama Rao , questioning how someone who worked in the United States for five years could acquire high-value commercial properties and farmhouses. He challenged BRS leaders, including K Chandrashekar Rao, KT Rama Rao, and T Harish Rao, to visit Nalgonda to inspect the implementation of the housing programme firsthand.
Exuding confidence ahead of upcoming political contests, Komatireddy asserted that Congress would secure victories in the two Graduate MLC constituencies and the Khairatabad assembly bypoll, claiming that the party would retain power in the state in the next assembly elections too.
