Congress, BRS Serving WWE-Style Entertainment: BJP’s Prakash Reddy
The BJP leader accused the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government of indulging in political theatrics instead of initiating statutory legal or administrative action against alleged land irregularities
Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Prakash Reddy on Monday took a sharp swipe at both the ruling Congress and the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana, terming their ongoing political face-off over property inspections a staged "drama" akin to televised professional wrestling.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP leader accused the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government of indulging in political theatrics instead of initiating statutory legal or administrative action against alleged land irregularities.
"For the past few days, the Congress party has been playing dramas, and the BRS is also providing good entertainment. Earlier, there was an entertainment channel—WWE; a similar kind of scripted entertainment is now being served to the people of Telangana by both the Congress and the BRS,” he said.
The party ruling the state is in a complete mess when it comes to taking actual action. Instead of taking legal action, they just talk endlessly and deliver nothing on revenue issues. Just to stage another drama, Congress MPs went to Erravalli yesterday to inspect assigned lands, and today they went to Janwada.
“All these dramas being orchestrated by the Congress party are unfortunate," Prakash Reddy said.
Reminding the Congress leadership of its administrative mandate, the BJP leader added, "The Congress party is in power in Telangana; I think they are forgetting that they are the ruling government and not an opposition party staging protests."
The BJP leader's remarks come against the backdrop of an ongoing political row in Telangana, where delegations of Congress MPs and MLCs have conducted visits to locations in Erravalli and Janwada—properties associated with top BRS leaders—alleging irregularities in land allocation and encroachments.
