Conspiracy To Delete One Crore Votes In Telangana: Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy called Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the most ‘dangerous person’ for the country. The Chief Minister exhorted Communist parties to join hands with the Congress in the fight against PM Modi and dethrone the BJP government at the Centre.

Speaking at a memorial meeting of Comrade Sarampalli Malla Reddy here on Monday, the CM alleged that the BJP adopted new tactics to win the election as the ruling national party failed to win the trust of the people in a democratic manner. The union government was deleting anti-BJP votes under the guise of 'SIR'. SCs, STs, and minorities were the main target in the deletion of the votes.

CM Revanth Reddy accused the BJP of replicating the West Bengal strategy in Telangana by systematically removing anti-BJP votes in every polling booth. The BJP was conspiring to delete one crore votes in Telangana . Private agencies were also engaged to conduct surveys and delete votes.

The Chief minister criticized the BJP for exploiting the Elections Commission to execute its political agenda and questioned the BRS for maintaining silence on vote theft in the SIR. Appealing to the Communist parties to support the Congress fight against the vote theft, the Chief Minister asserted that PM Modi's defeat is the victory of the Communists who should also safeguard the voting rights of the poor.  “We should be united and fight against Modi in the country. Elections and fundamental rights of the poor are different aspects”, the CM said commended the communists have long been fighting for the rights of the poor and the ‘Red Flag’ gives the poor a sense of reassurance and confidence.

CM Revanth Reddy highlighted the enactment of various laws for the welfare of the poor. The Congress party addressed every issue raised by the Communists. Communists fought for the rights of the landless poor to receive minimum wages. It was the Congress party that enacted the Minimum Wages Act. The left parties have fought for the principle of "land to the tiller" and the Congress government distributed 24.56 lakh acres of assigned land. 10 lakh acres are currently owned by Adivasis. This represents the Congress party's solution to the struggles waged by Communists. The Congress provided employment through the Employment Guarantee Act and enacted the Food Security Act.

The CM remembered the services rendered by Sarampalli Malla Reddy who rose from a remote area to the national stage and dedicated his life to the cause of farmers. Malla Reddy’s death is an irreparable loss to the farming community, the Chief Minister said the departed farmers leader was also unparalleled in his understanding of issues and his cultured, articulate manner of raising them.

" Our government will strive to address farmers' issues by keeping in mind the books Malla Reddy wrote and the points he raised’, the CM said that the government would also take a decision on developing a memorial for Malla Reddy after consulting with cabinet colleagues.
