BRS condemns removal of Peddi’s statue, vows to install it again
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party has condemned the removal of a statue of former MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy by the current government. The party has vowed to reinstall the statue and criticized the government's actions as politically motivated.
Why it matters
The dispute highlights the intense political rivalry in regional Indian politics and the symbolic importance of public monuments in local power struggles.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has condemned the government action of removing the statue (bust) of party leader and former MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy at Narsampet in Warangal district, where it was installed on a private land with the land owner’s permission, without issuing any notice.
Party working president K.T. Rama Rao said in a statement that the Revanth Reddy government had proved its sadistic attitude by removing the statue of Sudarshan Reddy overnight. He said being in power was not permanent to anybody and termed the statue removal as a Tughlaq act. He said they would name the Narsampet medical college after Sudarshan Reddy after coming back to power.
