Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 9 (ANI): Telangana Congress President Mahesh Kumar Goud on Saturday slammed BRS leader KT Rama Rao over his remarks on Congress, stating that people are aware of 'who is creating drama' and asserting the party's commitment to the upliftment of Backwards Classes (BCs).

Speaking to ANI, the Congress leader also targeted Union Minister Bandi Sanjay over the pending status of the Telangana Reservation Bill, which seeks 42 per cent reservations to Backwards Classes (BC) in local body elections as well as in the education and employment sectors in Telangana.

Goud said, 'People know who is creating drama. The Congress party, without going into details about caste and religion, has a commitment to uplift the backwards classes. That is why we introduced the 42 per cent reservation bill in the state assembly. The bill is still pending with the Union Government. Bandi Sanjay needs to clarify why the bills are still pending. Regarding the Muslim card, they are completely diverting attention from the rights of the BC population, and Bandi Sanjay, being a BC himself, is supporting Kishan Reddy and N Ramchander Rao's ideology.'

Earlier on Friday, Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR) launched a scathing attack on Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and the Congress government, accusing them of deceiving the Backwards Classes (BCs) and indulging in non-stop political theatrics.

KTR strongly criticised the Congress's handling of BC reservations and governance failures. KTR alleged that the Congress party has blatantly misled the people on the issue of BC reservations.

'They promised 42 per cent reservations with legal backing before the elections and secured votes. But now, CM Revanth Reddy says BC reservations will only be granted if Rahul Gandhi becomes Prime Minister. Was this condition mentioned in the BC Declaration?' KTR asked.

Drawing a sharp contrast, KTR reminded that KCR went to Delhi with a mission to secure Telangana statehood and succeeded. 'Can Revanth claim he brought back BC reservations from Delhi?' he challenged.

KTR mocked CM Revanth Reddy, saying that he suffers from 'KCR Phobia'.

KTR stated that even in Delhi, Revanth couldn't stop talking about KCR. 'It appears Revanth is mentally obsessed with KCR. He's suffering from a clear case of KCR-phobia,' KTR mocked. He added that the Congress government is using the BC reservations issue as a diversion while ignoring other commitments made in the BC Declaration.

He said, 'Revanth's Governance is a 'Drama Show''.

Calling Revanth Reddy's entire governance style a 'drama', KTR said, 'When I point out how he's betraying BCs and faking governance, Revanth tries to silence me with personal attacks. But the truth is, everything he's doing--whether with Modi, Rahul Gandhi, or even for Chandrababu Naidu--is pure drama.'

KTR also questioned Revanth's silence on the implementation of over 420 pre-poll promises. 'Even his claim that he will remain in the Congress till the end is just another drama,' KTR said. (ANI)
