Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) questioned the BJP-led Centre on Friday if it is only “Liberation Day” when a Muslim king is involved. He was referring to the military action that annexed the erstwhile state of Hyderabad to India on September 17, 1948. (which Centre is observing for a year till 2023).
“If September 17 is Liberation day, why is August 15 not the same? Why do we not talk about atrocities by the British? You can observe Liberation day, but you also want to observe the death of the Queen. Because there is a Muslim king here, you are raising this, but nothing about the British,” KTR said during an informal press conference with reporters.
He was speaking to reporters just one day after the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) was renamed the Bharata Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
“Without taking the Telangana government into confidence, you are getting ‘40 percent CM’, Eknath Shinde, and Kishan Reddy. Where is he the federal spirit?” he questioned further. KTR’s ‘Forty percent CM’ remark was directed at Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, who is accused of leading a corrupt government.
KTR also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi the “most incompetent PM” in the history of the country’s independence. “He is Prachar Mantri. He will do Mann ki Baat but won’t listen to ‘Jann ki Baat’,” KTR said.
“What Modi has achieved for sure, I have to accept one thing – When he was the chief minister of Gujarat – he said the rupee of India only falls as people running the Centre in Delhi are corrupt. The rupee is at an all-time low, and ‘jumlas’ are at an all-time high. Nonissues have now become issues,” KTR added.
Speaking about TRS superego and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s (KCR) decision to go national by rebranding the TRS as the BRS, KTR stated that the decision is intended to promote the ‘vibrant Telangana model’ across the country.
Expressing confidence, KTR also stated that the TRS (now BRS) will win the upcoming Munugode bypoll.
