Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], January 24 (ANI): Telangana Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy launched a scathing attack at the Bharat Rashtra Samith (BRS) Party and said that the party has the habit of buying the MLAs and MPs.
Hitting out at the BRS Party, the Congress leader said that if we had done the same as the BRS, their party would have been left with MLA KT Rama Rao and Telangana Health and Finance Minister Harish Rao.
"The BRS party has the habit of buying the MLAs and MPs and if we had done the same thing, their party would be left with KTR and Harish. But we won't do that; we will do good things and win votes," Reddy said.
Talking to the reporters, the Congress leader said, "We have won 64 seats and lost 10 seats with a smaller majority. We lost the Chevella constituency with 300 votes. We will do nice things and we will win more than 100 seats in the coming elections. There is no chance for the BRS party."
"Don't be impatient; it's the 47th day since we came to power. I am telling the people that this (BRS) party needs to be given a befitting reply and they shouldn't get a deposit either," he added.
Questioning the work done by the BRS Party, Reddy said, "We have built 32 lakh Indira Amma houses. We have won the 64 seats with a full majority and you have won the seats with the money looted. We didn't have time and tickets were given late; that's why we got less than 80 seats. But the party (BRS) that has the habit of buying MLAs, MPs and sarpanches."
Earlier in the day, Venkat Reddy also condemned the 'provocative attack' on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam and said that the ruling party at the centre should refrain from doing "communal politics."
Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, Reddy said, "We really condemn the attack on our beloved leader Rahul Gandhi, who is restlessly working for the unemployed youth and for secularism."
"Don't do communal politics. Do some good work for the youth," he said while taking a jab at the ruling party at the centre.
Earlier on January 21, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused a group of BJP workers of attacking the members of the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam.
Speaking at a rally in Assam's Nagaon district, the Wayanad MP alleged that "20-25 BJP workers carrying sticks" came in front of the bus on which he was present but "ran away" when he came out of the bus.
Rahul Gandhi and several other Congress leaders also claimed that party MP Jairam Ramesh's car and camera persons accompanying the Yatra were manhandled by BJP workers in Assam's Sonitpur district on Sunday (January 21).
The Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is travelling through the state from January 18 to 25, plans to cover 833km across 17 districts.
The yatra commenced in Manipur on January 14 and will culminate in Mumbai on March 20. (ANI)
