Revanth targets BRS over decade-long rule, weaver ‘distress’ in Sircilla
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy criticized the former BRS government for alleged corruption and neglect of weavers and farmers in Sircilla. He announced new development projects and accused BRS leadership of nepotism and financial mismanagement.
Why it matters
The speech reflects the ongoing political rivalry in Telangana and the use of development rhetoric to challenge the legacy of the previous administration.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday tore into the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) accusing its top leaders of amassing wealth during their nearly decade-long rule while weavers, Gulf migrants and farmers were left struggling.
Mr. Revanth Reddy led a padayatra through the main streets of Sircilla with Cabinet colleagues, party leaders and cadres before addressing a huge public meeting in the textile town on Wednesday evening. TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud accompanied him.
He laid foundation stones for development works worth ₹345.78 crore in the constituency represented by BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao.
Targeting Mr. Rama Rao, the Chief Minister said Sircilla turned into ‘Urisilla’, alleging that weaver suicides and migration to Gulf countries continued during the BRS regime despite his repeated election from the constituency.
