Earlier, KTR criticised the Congress party, calling it the "permanent villain" in Telangana's story and accusing it of 'betraying' the state's people. He emphasised that without KCR's efforts, Telangana would not exist today.
KTR recalled the sacrifices made by the people of Telangana and the injustices committed by the Congress regime over six decades. He announced that the BRS would replace the Rajiv Gandhi statue at the Secretariat entrance with the statue of Telangana Talli, symbolising the restoration of Telangana's pride.
He said the struggle for Telangana was "not just history but an identity that must be protected every single day."
KTR launched a scathing attack on the Congress leadership, alleging that the party had no moral authority to comment on K Chandrashekar Rao's (KCR) 2009 fast.
Calling the Congress the "permanent villain" in Telangana's history, he said the party's leadership had "blood on its hands" for the deaths of youth during the agitation. He asserted, "Without the three letters K-C-R, there would be no Telangana." KTR also challenged the ruling party to make the MLAs who defected to Congress resign and seek a fresh mandate. (ANI)
