Senior leader of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former minister T. Harish Rao has condemned the comments of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud that he (Harish) had met BJP MP Eatala Rajender and termed them as ‘cheap’.

In a statement, Mr. Rao said the TPCC chief was playing such cheap politics unable to take on him directly and by doing so he was treading the unethical path of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy by indulging in mudslinging on political opponents.

He made it clear that except for coming across in weddings or funerals he had never met any leader of other parties or those who left BRS. “I always practice politics with values unlike your cheap tactics for political mileage”, he said and suggested Mr. Goud to stop such allegations and act in tune with his (Goud’s) status and also focus on fulfilling six guarantees and 420 promises made at the time of elections.

Separately, BRS MLC and former Speaker of the Assembly S. Madhusudana Chary condemned the misinformation campaign of the rival parties against BRS that it was planning to merge with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He stated that in combined Andhra Pradesh, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) came into being against the Congress and K. Chandrasekhar Rao had floated BRS (TRS) to fight for the existence of Telangana against both Congress and TDP.

Stating that KCR had achieved Statehood for Telangana despite adverse political conditions and opposition from strong leaderships such as Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and N. Chandrababu Naidu and developed Telangana as a model State. However, the rival parties were conspiring to weaken BRS, unknowing that the party has the backing of Telangana masses despite its defeat in the elections.

On the internal political development of BRS he said he was aware of all and any decision would be taken by party chief KCR. As part of the Telangana Formation Day celebrations in Telangana Bhavan, Mr. Harish Rao would give a powerpoint presentation on the Kaleshwaram project on June 2.
