BRS a spent force, BJP divisive: TPCC chief Mahesh Kumar Goud

Terming the BRS as a ‘spent force’, TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud trained his guns at the BJP, accusing it of “earning notoriety for divisive politics, unethical means like vote-fraud out of greed for power, and posing a serious threat to democracy”.

He was addressing a huge road-side meeting during his Janahita yatra near Gangadhara mandal headquarters in Karimnagar district late on Sunday evening. Earlier, he was accorded a rousing welcome by the party cadre at Uppara Mallial, where he began his second leg of the yatra.

AICC in-charge of TG Meenakshi Natarajan, Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar, Vivek Venkataswamy and Adluri Laxman Kumar, among others, were present.

He said, “BRS will disappear from the State’s political arena by the next Assembly elections. It has virtually split into three pieces after being outrightly rejected by people for its nearly decade long misrule.”

He charged that BJP leaders rely on polarisation and a divisive agenda due to greed for power. The BJP came to power at the Centre for the third time by resorting to vote fraud, he alleged, saying Congress leader Rahul Gandhi exposed the “vote chori” fraud by the BJP.

“We strongly suspect that the BJP resorted to vote fraud even in Telangana in the last Lok Sabha elections,” he said, referring to the BJP’s victory in eight Parliamentary constituencies in the State in the previous general election.

He alleged that the BJP is obstructing the 42% reservations to Backward Classes on one pretext or another. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar is not speaking about this, as he is afraid of his party leaders, who are infamous for their anti-BC mindset, he said.

“Mr. Sanjay Kumar and other BC leaders in BJP, including party MP Eatala Rajender should open their mouth against the anti-BC stand of the BJP leadership.”
