Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy has found fault with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of raising communal passions for political gains. Such a view coming from a person, whose close friends are Asaduddin Owaisi and Akbaruddin Owaisi of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (MIM), is ridiculous and laughable, and Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao has no moral right to accuse the BJP of being communal, he said during his first interaction with reporters in the city after assuming charge as Union Minister.
Mr. Reddy decried the TRS party’s effort to paint BJP as communal and that it was trying to arouse passions to gain political mileage like it was doing in West Bengal. “They are all baseless charges and in West Bengal people want a change and they were looking at the BJP,” he said.
Similarly, people in Telangana are vexed with the TRS and the Chief Minister’s functioning. The BJP securing four Parliament seats was an indication. “How did the TRS lose seven seats when it was confident of winning all the 16 seats,” he asked and claimed BJP will strengthen itself on the basis of good governance being provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
