Allegations Against Former Government

The Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Revant Reddy, has criticized the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) administration, claiming it has inflicted 'greater injustice' on irrigation projects in Telangana compared to undivided Andhra Pradesh. He suggested that former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and his nephew T. Harish Rao could even deserve 'hanging' for the injustices related to river water usage.

BRS Responds to Accusations

In response, the BRS party accused Reddy of wishing death upon two of its leaders. During a presentation on river water issues, Reddy highlighted his concerns with a quote from the late Telangana poet Kalaji Narayana Rao, stating, 'We will drive out those outsiders who exploit us, and if our own people exploit us, we will bury them alive.'

Reactions from BRS Leaders

Reacting to Reddy's statements, former BRS MLA S. Niranjan Reddy pointed out the contradiction in the Chief Minister's actions, noting that while Reddy invites Chandrashekar Rao to the assembly, he simultaneously expresses a desire for the deaths of both Rao and Harish Rao.
